1. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
transmitting a capability indication message to a network entity, the capability indication message comprising a first sidelink capability for direct communication between the UE and one or more secondary UEs;
receiving a configuration message from the network entity in response to the capability indication message, wherein the configuration message includes one or more configuration parameters of one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs) based on the first sidelink capability for sidelink communications between the UE and the one or more secondary UEs;
establishing a communication link based on the one or more configuration parameters received in response to the configuration message;
determining a change in capability from the first sidelink capability to a second sidelink capability subsequent to establishing the communication link, wherein the second sidelink capability is different from the first sidelink capability;
transmitting the second sidelink capability to the network entity or the one or more secondary UEs subsequent to determining the change in capability; and
continuing communications on the communication link based on the second sidelink capability subsequent to transmitting the second sidelink capability to the network entity or the one or more secondary UEs.
