Uplink channel dynamic waveform switching

A method for wireless communications, comprising:

• determining whether an uplink physical layer channel is configured for frequency domain code division multiplexing (CDM);
• selecting a waveform switching mode based at least in part on the determination of whether the uplink physical layer channel is configured for frequency domain CDM;
• identifying a waveform for the uplink physical layer channel based at least in part on the waveform switching mode;
• and
• communicating on the uplink physical layer channel using the identified waveform.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• means for determining whether an uplink physical layer channel is configured for frequency domain code division multiplexing (CDM);
• means for selecting a waveform switching mode based at least in part on the determination of whether the uplink physical layer channel is configured for frequency domain CDM;
• means for identifying a waveform for the uplink physical layer channel based at least in part on the waveform switching mode;
• and
• means for communicating on the uplink physical layer channel using the identified waveform.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communications, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• determine whether an uplink physical layer channel is configured for frequency domain code division multiplexing (CDM);
• select a waveform switching mode based at least in part on the determination of whether the uplink physical layer channel is configured for frequency domain CDM;
• identify a waveform for the uplink physical layer channel based at least in part on the waveform switching mode;
• and
• communicate on the uplink physical layer channel using the identified waveform.
