A UE receives a configuration for one or more downlink reference signal or downlink channel from a base station and receives an indication of one or more time and frequency resources for full-duplex communication at the base station. The UE skips reception of the one or more downlink reference signal or downlink channel based at least in part on the indication of the one or more time and frequency resources for the full-duplex communication at the base station. A UE receives, from a base station, an allocation of uplink resources for an uplink transmission and receives an indication of one or more time and frequency resources for full-duplex communication at the base station. The UE transmits the uplink transmission to avoid the one or more time and frequency resources for the full-duplex communication at the base station.
