1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and configured to cause the first wireless device to:
configure a first subset of a set of communication links supported by the first wireless device with a first set of time resources and a first set of frequency resources of a radio frequency spectrum band for first communications associated with a high pathloss mode, wherein the first set of time resources comprises one or more first periods allocated for communications for the first wireless device in the high pathloss mode;
configure a second subset of the set of communication links supported by the first wireless device with a second set of time resources and a second set of frequency resources of the radio frequency spectrum band for second communications associated with a normal pathloss mode, wherein the high pathloss mode corresponds to a pathloss value above a threshold pathloss value, and wherein the second set of time resources comprises one or more second periods allocated for communications for the first wireless device in the normal pathloss mode;
communicate with a second wireless device configured to operate in the high pathloss mode via the first set of time resources and the first set of frequency resources; and
communicate with a third wireless device configured to operate in the normal pathloss mode via the second set of time resources and the second set of frequency resources.
