Time division multiplexed user equipment (UE) data for guard interval (GI)-based waveforms

A method for wireless communication by a wireless node, comprising:

• communicating with a device using a frame format, the frame format comprising a first symbol, a second symbol, and a third symbol, wherein:
• the first symbol comprises a first data portion for a first user equipment (UE) and a first guard interval (GI) corresponding to the first UE;
• the third symbol comprises a second data portion for a second UE and a second GI corresponding to the second UE, wherein the third symbol is later in time than the first symbol;
• and
• the second symbol comprises a gap or a reference signal (RS), a third GI corresponding to the first UE, and a fourth GI corresponding to the second UE, wherein the second symbol is between the first and third symbol in time.

An apparatus for wireless communication comprising:

• means for communicate with a device using a frame format, the frame format comprising a first symbol, a second symbol, and a third symbol, wherein:
• the first symbol comprises a first data portion for a first user equipment (UE) and a first guard interval (GI) corresponding to the first UE;
• the third symbol comprises a second data portion for a second UE and a second GI corresponding to the second UE, wherein the third symbol is later in time than the first symbol;
• and
• the second symbol comprises a gap or a reference signal (RS), a third GI corresponding to the first UE, and a fourth GI corresponding to the second UE, wherein the second symbol is between the first and third symbol in time.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon to cause a wireless node to:

• communicate with a device using a frame format, the frame format comprising a first symbol, a second symbol, and a third symbol, wherein:
• the first symbol comprises a first data portion for a first user equipment (UE) and a first guard interval (GI) corresponding to the first UE;
• the third symbol comprises a second data portion for a second UE and a second GI corresponding to the second UE, wherein the third symbol is later in time than the first symbol;
• and
• the second symbol comprises a gap or a reference signal (RS), a third GI corresponding to the first UE, and a fourth GI corresponding to the second UE, wherein the second symbol is between the first and third symbol in time.
