Various aspects described herein relate to techniques for multi-cluster uplink transmissions in wireless communications systems. A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. In an aspect, the method comprises receiving, by a user equipment (UE), information of one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) patterns, generating, by the UE, one or more rate matching parameters based on the information, and transmitting, by the UE, an uplink signal based on the generated one or more rate matching parameters.
