Systems, methods, and devices for high-efficiency wireless frequency division multiplexing are provided. A method includes determining, at an access point, a performance characteristic for each wireless device in a set of wireless devices associated with the access point. The method further includes categorizing each wireless device in the set into at least a first and second subset of wireless devices based on the performance characteristic. The method further includes receiving communications from the first subset of wireless devices on a first set of wireless frequencies. The method further includes receiving communications from the second subset of wireless devices on a second set of wireless frequencies, the second set of wireless frequencies being a subset of the first. The first set of wireless devices have a higher performance characteristic than the second set of wireless devices.
