Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A frequency band configuration for a full-duplex slot may be indicated, where a frequency band configuration may include one or more downlink frequency bands and one or more uplink frequency bands. In some cases, a frequency band configuration may also include one or more guard bands. A user equipment (UE) may determine the frequency band configuration for a full-duplex slot based on a frequency configuration indication, which may include an index for a table of frequency band configurations, one or more bitmaps, or respective start and length indications for each frequency band. A frequency band configuration may apply to one slot or to multiple slots.
