    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit assistance information indicating a type of in-device coexistence (IDC) interference at the UE, and indicating a set of associated interference parameters that correspond to an interference pattern of the IDC interference in a time domain, a frequency domain, or both. The set of interference parameters and the interference pattern may describe a pattern of the IDC interference in the time domain, the frequency domain, or both.
