A method for wireless communication by a user equipment, UE, comprising: receiving a first slot format indicator indicating a first slot format for communication based on a first cyclic prefix, CP, type in a slot, wherein the first slot format determines for all symbols of the first CP type in the slot whether each symbol is a downlink, uplink, or flexible symbol; determining, based on the first slot format, a second slot format for communication based on a second CP type in the slot, wherein the second slot format determines for all symbols of the second CP type in the slot whether each symbol is a downlink, uplink, or flexible symbols, wherein determining the second slot format comprises: for each symbol of the second slot format that is overlapping with only downlink symbols of the first slot format, determining that symbol to be a downlink symbol, for each symbol of the second slot format that is overlapping with only uplink symbols of the first slot format, determining that symbol to be an uplink symbol, and for each symbol of the second slot format that is overlapping with a flexible symbol of the first slot format, determining that symbol to be a flexible symbol; receiving, within the slot, a first communication according to a first timeline in symbols determined as downlink symbols based on the first slot format, wherein the first timeline is associated with the first CP type; receiving, within the slot, a second communication according to a second timeline in symbols determined as downlink symbols based on the second slot format, wherein the second timeline is associated with the second CP type, wherein the second communication is multiplexed with the first communication in the slot, and wherein a slot for communication based on the second CP type has less symbols than a slot for communication based on the first CP type; and decoding the first communication based on a first length of the first CP type; decoding the second communication based on a second length of the second CP type. receiving a first slot format indicator indicating a first slot format for communication based on a first cyclic prefix, CP, type in a slot, wherein the first slot format determines for all symbols of the first CP type in the slot whether each symbol is a downlink, uplink, or flexible symbol; determining, based on the first slot format, a second slot format for communication based on a second CP type in the slot, wherein the second slot format determines for all symbols of the second CP type in the slot whether each symbol is a downlink, uplink, or flexible symbols, wherein determining the second slot format comprises: for each symbol of the second slot format that is overlapping with only downlink symbols of the first slot format, determining that symbol to be a downlink symbol, for each symbol of the second slot format that is overlapping with only uplink symbols of the first slot format, determining that symbol to be an uplink symbol, and for each symbol of the second slot format that is overlapping with a flexible symbol of the first slot format, determining that symbol to be a flexible symbol; for each symbol of the second slot format that is overlapping with only downlink symbols of the first slot format, determining that symbol to be a downlink symbol, for each symbol of the second slot format that is overlapping with only uplink symbols of the first slot format, determining that symbol to be an uplink symbol, and for each symbol of the second slot format that is overlapping with a flexible symbol of the first slot format, determining that symbol to be a flexible symbol; receiving, within the slot, a first communication according to a first timeline in symbols determined as downlink symbols based on the first slot format, wherein the first timeline is associated with the first CP type; receiving, within the slot, a second communication according to a second timeline in symbols determined as downlink symbols based on the second slot format, wherein the second timeline is associated with the second CP type, wherein the second communication is multiplexed with the first communication in the slot, and wherein a slot for communication based on the second CP type has less symbols than a slot for communication based on the first CP type; and decoding the first communication based on a first length of the first CP type; decoding the second communication based on a second length of the second CP type.
