Increased GP overhead due to frequent uplink-downlink switching. Self-contained slots are designed to reduce the round-trip time (RTT) by providing faster downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback and UL data scheduling, as well as prolonged sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission periods to track fast channel changes and improve MIMO performance. However, they do not involve increased GP overhead due to frequent uplink-downlink switching. High requirements on latency of terminal hardware processing may be involved, depending on the implementation.
