1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a base station, an indication of a set of transmission parts that each comprise a respective set of time resources and frequency resources, wherein at least one of the time resources and the frequency resources included in the respective set of time resources and frequency resources is different for each transmission part of the set of transmission parts, and wherein the indication associates a first transmission part of the set of transmission parts with a first waveform type and a second transmission part of the set of transmission parts with a second waveform type;
communicating with the base station, during a first time period, over the first transmission part via signaling that is based at least in part on the first waveform type;
receiving, from the base station, a configuration of one or more switching gaps or one or more guard bands each between a respective pair of transmission parts within the set of transmission parts;
switching, during a switching gap of the one or more switching gaps, from communicating with the base station over the first transmission part associated with the first waveform type to communicating with the base station over the second transmission part associated with the second waveform type; and
communicating with the base station, during a second time period after the first time period, over the second transmission part via signaling that is based at least in part on the second waveform type.
