Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may receive a frequency domain resource assignment indicator identifying an allocation of a set of resource block groups of a plurality of resource block groups in a bandwidth part, wherein the bandwidth part includes a plurality of disjoint portions of the bandwidth part and the plurality of disjoint portions comprise an uplink bandwidth or a downlink bandwidth separated by another portion of the bandwidth part; identify, based at least in part on the frequency domain resource assignment indicator, the allocation of the set of resource block groups; and communicate using the allocation of the set of resource block groups based at least in part on identifying the allocation of the set of resource block groups. Numerous other aspects are provided.
