Wireless communications systems and methods related to scheduling communications in a network are provided. A wireless communication device communicates a semi-persistent schedule (SPS) for communicating with a group of wireless communication devices, the SPS including a plurality of resource allocations spaced apart in time. The first wireless communication device identifies a first resource allocation for at least a subset of the group of wireless communication devices based on a missed resource allocation of the plurality of resource allocations associated with a failed listen-before-talk (LBT). Additionally, the wireless communication device communicates with at least the subset of the group of wireless communication devices, communication signals based on the first resource allocation.
