Techniques for configuring uplink channel transmissions using shared radio frequency spectrum band

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• the processor and the memory configured to:
• identify an available bandwidth of a frequency spectrum;
• identify a minimum occupancy of the available bandwidth;
• obtain a data stream comprising data to be transmitted on one or more uplink channels, each of the one or more uplink channels comprising a number of allocated interlaces for an uplink transmission over the frequency spectrum, wherein each of the number of allocated interlaces comprises one or more resource blocks of the frequency spectrum, and wherein the one or more resource blocks of the number of allocated interlaces spans at least the minimum occupancy of the available bandwidth;
• demultiplex the data stream to provide one or more demultiplexed data streams for the number of allocated interlaces;
• and
• map at least one of the one or more demultiplexed data streams onto a plurality of resource elements associated with the number of allocated interlaces.

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

• identify an available bandwidth of a frequency spectrum;
• identify a minimum occupancy of the available bandwidth;
• obtain a data stream comprising data to be transmitted on one or more uplink channels, each of the one or more uplink channels comprising a number of allocated interlaces for an uplink transmission over the frequency spectrum, wherein each of the number of allocated interlaces comprises one or more resource blocks of the frequency spectrum, and wherein the one or more resource blocks of the number of allocated interlaces spans at least the minimum occupancy of the available bandwidth;
