1. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a configuration of a first bandwidth part (BWP) and a second BWP, wherein the first BWP is associated with a first bandwidth and a first slot format dedicated for the first BWP;
receiving downlink control information (DCI) from the base station; and
switching the first BWP to the second BWP, wherein:
the first bandwidth is switched to a second bandwidth,
the first slot format is switched to a second slot format, or
the first bandwidth is switched to the second bandwidth and the first slot format is switched to the second slot format,

and wherein:
the DCI indicates the second BWP for the switching, and the DCI further indicates whether to maintain the first slot format for the second BWP, or
the configuration is a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration that indicates the second BWP for the switching, and the RRC reconfiguration further indicates whether to maintain the first slot format for the second BWP.
