This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for false positive detections of DCI requests to switch BWPs. A UE may receive a DCI request to switch from a first BWP to a second BWP and may reject the DCI request for a switch from the first BWP to the second BWP based on at least one of a conflict with a TDD pattern associated with the DCI request, a DCI decoder metric, or a number of error-corrected modulation symbols that indicates a false positive detection of the DCI request.
