Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for adapting a configuration for transmitting or receiving a semi-persistent transmission to minimize self-interference when appropriate and maximize throughput. A first device and a second device may determine whether the semi-persistent transmission overlaps in a time domain with a dynamic transmission. If the semi-persistent transmission overlaps in the time domain with the dynamic transmission, the first device and the second device may use a full-duplex configuration to transmit or receive the semi-persistent transmission. Alternatively, if the semi-persistent transmission fails to overlap in a time domain with a dynamic transmission, the first device and the second device may use a half-duplex configuration to transmit or receive the semi-persistent transmission.
