Some techniques and apparatuses described herein may be used to avoid or reduce collisions between uplink data communications and uplink control communications for an enhanced machine-type communication user equipment (eMTC UE) operating in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. Furthermore, some techniques and apparatuses may avoid such collision while still allowing efficient use of resources, such as by deferring the uplink data communication within a data segment, rate matching an uplink data communication around uplink control resources (e.g., cell-specific uplink control resources and/or UE-specific uplink control resources), puncturing the uplink data communication to avoid the uplink control resources, multiplexing uplink control information on an uplink data channel, and/or the like.
