Methods and apparatuses are provided that facilitate puncturing codeblocks in resource blocks for muting or transmitting signals of a disparate technology such that the puncturing similarly impacts the codeblocks. Codeblocks can be mapped in order across frequency in a given data symbol before moving to a next data symbol. In this regard, utilizing data resource elements substantially evenly spaced across frequency and across data symbols in a data resource block for transmitting signals of the disparate technology can substantially equalize impact of the puncturing to related codeblocks. In addition, resources can be allocated to legacy devices, devices with bandwidth, data rate, or quality of service requirements, devices of a certain rank or geometry, etc., based at least in part on the puncturing. Moreover, a modulation and coding scheme can be selected for generating codeblocks based at least in part on the puncturing and its effect on performance.
