Abstract
Wireless communications systems and methods related to multi-slot slot format indicators (SFIs) are provided. In one embodiment, a first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, a first SFI for a first set of slots and a second SFI for a second set of slots overlapping with the first set of slots. The first wireless communication device communicates with the second wireless communication device based on at least one of the first SFI or the second SFI. In one embodiment, a first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, a configuration for a first slot and an SFI indicating slot formats for a set of slots including the first slot. The SFI indicates an unspecified slot format for the first slot. The first wireless communication device communicates with the second wireless communication device in the first slot based on the configuration.
