In an aspect, the UE may receive a reconfiguration message indicating a change for an FDD uplink band to a temporary TDD band. The UE may then determine a reference configuration for a pair of FDD bands including an FDD downlink band and the temporary TDD band, the reference configuration indicating a pattern of sub-frames associated with the pair of FDD bands.

Thus, a UE can receive the SDI via broadcast by the node, dedicated message from the node, etc., and can accordingly present at least a portion of the SDI or determine whether to connect to the node or another node of the neutral host network based at least in part on the SDI.
