1. A method for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:
receiving a radio frequency (RF) capability indication from a user equipment (UE), wherein the RF capability indication comprises a capability of the UE to support a waveform and to transmit over an allocated bandwidth and wherein the RF capability indication indicates a single-carrier bandwidth capability of the UE;
selecting a multi-carrier waveform from among a single-carrier waveform and the multi-carrier waveform for a wireless transmission based at least in part on a bandwidth for the wireless transmission exceeding the single-carrier bandwidth capability of the UE;
transmitting, to the UE, an indication of the multi-carrier waveform and the bandwidth for the wireless transmission, wherein the waveform and the bandwidth are based at least in part on the capability of the UE to support the waveform and to transmit over the allocated bandwidth; and
performing the wireless transmission using the bandwidth.
