1. A method of wireless communication performed by a base station associated with a cell of a time division duplex communication system, comprising:
determining a guard interval associated with air-to-ground communications with multiple user equipments (UEs), wherein the guard interval is:
less than a maximum time delay, for air-to-ground communications in the cell, that is based at least in part on a radius of the cell, and
greater than or equal to a time delay associated with a furthest UE associated with the base station; and
transmitting a scheduling configuration to a UE, of the multiple UEs, that identifies the guard interval.
