Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) receives a first control message indicating a codeblock group (CBG) scheduling configuration for scheduling CBG-based uplink communications, where the CBG scheduling configuration includes a first mapping configuration associated with uplink communications including a single codeword and a second mapping configuration associated with uplink communications including multiple codewords. The UE receives a second control message scheduling an uplink message including a set of CBGs, where the uplink message is associated with a first codeword, a second codeword, or both. The UE then transmits the uplink message in accordance with the CBG scheduling configuration, where the set of CBGs are mapped to one of the first or second codeword in accordance with the first mapping configuration, or where the set of CBGs are mapped to the first and second codewords in accordance with the second mapping configuration.
