Aspects relate to a method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE). The method includes receiving a set of one or more transmissions in an assigned bandwidth part (BWP) of a set of bandwidth parts (BWPs) from a base station (BS), wherein the set of one or more transmissions includes data addressed to the UE; after missing a reception of a second set of one or more transmissions from the BS following the set, receiving a third set of one or more transmissions in the assigned BWP from the BS, wherein the third set does not include data addressed to the UE; and determining whether a fourth set of one or more transmissions from the BS in one or more unassigned BWPs of the set of BWPs includes data addressed to the UE in response to the third set not including data addressed to the UE.
