28. A method for wireless communication at a first network entity, comprising:
transmitting a first control message that indicates a set of one or more frequency hopping patterns for switching between two or more subbands that are included within a bandwidth part configured for the first network entity;
communicating via a first subband of the two or more subbands for a first quantity of transmission occasions based on a first periodicity associated with the first subband, the first subband included within the bandwidth part, wherein a first size of the first subband is less than a second size of the bandwidth part within a frequency domain; and
communicating, based on a switch from the first subband to a second subband in accordance with a designated frequency hopping pattern from among the set of one or more frequency hopping patterns, via the second subband of the two or more subbands for a second quantity of transmission occasions based on a second periodicity associated with the second subband, the second subband included within the bandwidth part, wherein a third size of the second subband is less than the second size of the bandwidth part within the frequency domain, wherein the first control message configures a respective periodicity for each subband of the two or more subbands within the bandwidth part, and wherein the designated frequency hopping pattern indicates the first periodicity, the second periodicity, and an order for switching between the first subband and the second subband.
