Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless communication network may support mission critical (MiCr) communications and mobile broadband (MBB) communications with hybrid multiplexing (e.g., time division multiplexing (TDM) and frequency division multiplexing (FDM)). A base station may identify a first set of resources allocated for MiCr communications and a second set of resources allocated for MBB communications. The first and second set of resources may be multiplexed in the frequency domain, and the base station may transmit MiCr information over the first set of resources under normal data traffic conditions. As data traffic or other conditions associated with MiCr communications change, the base station may schedule MiCr transmissions on the second set of resources allocated for MBB communications, by puncturing the second set of resources for the MiCr communications.
