Wireless communications systems and methods related to improving multiplexing capability in a frequency spectrum are provided. A first wireless communication device obtains a configuration for communicating a communication signal in a frequency spectrum. The configuration is based on at least a number of wireless communication devices scheduled to communicate in a time period. The configuration indicates resources in the frequency spectrum over the time period and a frequency distribution mode of the resources. The first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, the communication signal in the frequency spectrum during the time period based on the configuration.
