• • Unanswered Questions:**

• • 1. How does the method handle changes in UE capabilities during communication?**

The abstract does not specify how the method adapts to changes in UE capabilities once communication has started.

• • 2. Are there any limitations to the semi-static slot format configuration approach mentioned in the abstract?**

The abstract does not mention any potential limitations or drawbacks of using a semi-static slot format configuration.

Original Abstract Submitted

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for slot format configuration. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes sending a message to a base station (BS) with UE capability information indicating one or more capabilities of the UE. The method includes receiving signaling from the BS indicating a semi-static slot format configuration based on the UE capability information, the slot format configuration including one or more slot format patterns and a cyclic shift (CS) associated with one or more slot format patterns. The method includes communicating with the BS based on the semi-static slot format configuration and the CS.
