Wireless communications systems and methods related to multiplexing different waveforms in wireless networks are provided. A first wireless communication device identifies a configuration for communicating a first waveform signal before a guard interval (GI)-based waveform signal, the configuration indicating a GI waveform requirement of the GI-based waveform signal. The first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, the first waveform signal including a plurality of first symbols carrying data, wherein a last symbol of the plurality of first symbols includes a portion without data transmission based on the GI waveform requirement.
