Multiplexing signals with scalable numerology for new radio (nr) networks

A method operational on a wireless communication device, comprising:

• multiplexing a first signal and at least a second signal for transmission across at least two resource elements comprising
• a first resource element utilizing a first subcarrier in a first symbol employing a first numerology, and
• a second resource element utilizing a second subcarrier in a second symbol employing a second numerology that is different from the first numerology, wherein the second subcarrier overlaps in frequency at least a portion of the first subcarrier;
• and
• transmitting the first symbol and the second symbol.

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• means for multiplexing a first signal and at least a second signal for transmission across at least two resource elements comprising
• a first resource element utilizing a first subcarrier in a first symbol employing a first numerology, and
• a second resource element utilizing a second subcarrier in a second symbol employing a second numerology that is different from the first numerology, wherein the second subcarrier overlaps in frequency at least a portion of the first subcarrier;
• and
• means for transmitting the first symbol and the second symbol.

A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium storing processor-executable programming for causing a processing circuit to:

• multiplex a first signal and at least a second signal for transmission across at least two resource elements (REs) comprising
• a first RE associated with a first symbol employing a first numerology, and
• a second RE associated with a second symbol employing a second numerology that is different from the first numerology;
• and
• initiate transmission of the first symbol and the second symbol.
