1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
identify an uplink subframe for transmission of an uplink communication based at least in part on whether the uplink communication has been dynamically scheduled or semi-statically configured and based at least in part on a downlink-reference uplink-downlink configuration; and
transmit the uplink communication in the identified uplink subframe,
wherein at least one of:
the identified uplink subframe is in a first set of uplink subframes and is not limited to a first uplink subframe designated as uplink by the downlink-reference uplink-downlink configuration if the uplink communication has been dynamically scheduled, or
the identified uplink subframe is in a second set of uplink subframes and is limited to the first uplink subframe designated as uplink by the downlink-reference uplink-downlink configuration if the uplink communication has been semi-statically configured.
