Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station via a first instance of a periodic data burst, where the periodic data burst may include one or more uplink or downlink transmissions scheduled on a first bandwidth part (BWP). The UE may start a bandwidth switching timer at the beginning of the first instance of the periodic data burst, and determine whether the bandwidth switching timer has expired upon expiration of an inactivity timer that was triggered by receipt of one or more downlink control channel messages. The UE may operate, based on the determination, on one of the first BWP or a second BWP during at least a portion of a time period that extends from the expiration of the inactivity timer and a beginning of a second instance of the periodic data burst.
