    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may communicate with a user equipment (UE) using frequency resources (e.g., subcarriers) with scalable channel spacing and time resources (e.g., slots) with variable slot durations. The individual slots may include multiple symbols, and each symbol may be allocated for communication in a specific link direction (e.g., uplink, downlink, or sidelink). For UEs configured to operate in a half-duplex mode, the base station may allocate sufficient time for the UE to transition between uplink and downlink configurations. In other cases, for carrier aggregation, the base station may coordinate with the UE to prevent conflicting communications (e.g., simultaneous uplink and downlink transmissions). UEs or other devices may communicate directly with one another in a device-to-device configuration using the same or a similar scheme to allow for half-duplex devices to transition between sending and receiving.
