1. An apparatus for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the UE to:
receive an indication of an intra-group switching delay and an inter-group switching delay, wherein the intra-group switching delay is smaller than the inter-group switching delay;
identify a configuration for a plurality of bandwidth part groups comprising the intra-group switching delay and the inter-group switching delay;
communicate with a network device on a first bandwidth part of a first bandwidth part group of the plurality of bandwidth part groups;
switch to a second bandwidth part of the first bandwidth part group based at least in part on the intra-group switching delay or switching to a third bandwidth part of a second bandwidth part group of the plurality of bandwidth part groups based at least in part on the inter-group switching delay; and
communicate with the network device on the second bandwidth part or the third bandwidth part based at least in part on the switching.
