Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a control message indicating a wideband precoding configuration for wideband precoding of two or more downlink subbands for subband full-duplex (SBFD) communication. The UE may receive grants scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) via two or more downlink subbands within an SBFD resource (e.g., a slot). Accordingly, the UE may receive downlink data via the two or more downlink subbands. The UE may process the downlink data and transmit, via a feedback (e.g., uplink) resource, a feedback message acknowledging the downlink data, where a time period between the SBFD resource and the feedback resource is based on the wideband precoding configuration and the grant scheduling the PDSCH via the two or more downlink subbands.
