In a case where a scheduler operating in a New Radio (NR) network utilizes DL resource allocation of a particular type, it may arise that a portion of the DL allocation falls in the UL portion of the carrier. Accordingly, a scheduled entity may add the UL portion of the carrier to a set of resources that are indicated as not available for DL transmission. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
