Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive an indication of a set of interfered frequency resources that are subject to interference by a set of interfering frequency resources and communicate with a wireless communication device using at least one of: a bandwidth part configuration that is based at least in part on the set of interfered frequency resources, a communication procedure that is based at least in part on the set of interfered frequency resources, or a combination thereof. Numerous other aspects are provided.
