1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors and that store processor-executable code that, when executed by the one or more processors, is configured to cause the UE to:
identify a plurality of sets of timing parameters, each set defining one or more potential values for a timing parameter associated with a timing between receipt, from a network device, of downlink control information (DCI) and a subsequent communication with the network device according to the DCI, the plurality of sets of timing parameters comprising at least a first set of timing parameters associated with a first bandwidth part (BWP) and a second set of timing parameters associated with a second BWP;
receive, over the first BWP, a DCI transmission that activates the second BWP, the DCI transmission comprising a resource allocation bit field indexing at least a subset of the second set of timing parameters, wherein a size of the resource allocation bit field is based at least in part on a configuration of the first BWP;
identify a value for the timing parameter based at least in part on the second set of timing parameters and the size of the resource allocation bit field; and
communicate with the network device over the second BWP in accordance with the value for the timing parameter, wherein when the first set of timing parameters comprises more timing parameters than the second set of timing parameters, the processor-executable code is further configured to cause the UE to:
identify a subset of bits in the resource allocation bit field, the subset of bits indexing a timing parameter of the second set of timing parameters; and
determine the value for the timing parameter based on the indexed timing parameter of the second set of timing parameters.
