Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration signal indicating a codebook construction configuration for constructing a codebook of sequences for conveying a first type of uplink payload in a resource block that is orthogonal to a second type of uplink payload transmitted from a second UE in the resource block. The UE may construct the codebook of sequences for the first type of uplink payload according to the codebook construction configuration. The UE may generate the first type of uplink payload for transmission using a first sequence from the codebook of sequences. The UE may transmit the first type of uplink payload in the resource block, wherein the first type of uplink payload is multiplexed in the resource block with the second type of uplink payload from the second UE.
