1. A method of wireless communication by a network node, comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), radio resource control signaling indicating a timer associated with an adjustment of symbols within a self-contained wireless communication structure;
scheduling a low-latency packet for transmission to the UE in symbols of a first slot of the self-contained wireless communication structure, the first slot comprising a plurality of downlink and uplink symbols;
adjusting, based on the scheduling of the low-latency packet, a plurality of downlink symbols of the first slot to at least one symbol comprising a switching gap and at least one uplink symbol for transmitting ACK/NACK information associated with the low-latency packet, wherein adjusting the plurality of downlink symbols is based at least in part on the plurality of downlink symbols being included within an active duration of the timer, and wherein the plurality of downlink symbols is separate from a scheduled portion of the first slot for transmitting the low-latency packet;
transmitting the low-latency packet to the UE, wherein at least one symbol of the low-latency packet comprises an indicator of the adjusting, wherein the indicator of the adjusting applies to a quantity of slots, including the first slot, within the active duration of the timer; and
receiving, from the UE, an acknowledgement message comprising the ACK/NACK information associated with the low-latency packet on the at least one uplink symbol of the first slot that is subsequent to the switching gap.
