Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first transceiver node of a set of transceiver nodes may transmit a control message (e.g., downlink control information (DCI)) to a user equipment (UE). Upon receiving the control message, the UE may switch from a first bandwidth part (BWP) configuration for the first transceiver node to a second BWP configuration for the first transceiver node. Additionally, the UE may switch from BWP configurations for other transceiver nodes of the set of transceiver nodes. Upon switching from the first BWP configuration, the UE may start a timer and may switch from the second BWP configuration to a third BWP configuration upon expiration of the timer. The timer may be restarted each time the UE receives a communication from any of the set of transceiver nodes, a subset of the set of transceiver nodes, or from the first transceiver node.
