Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to next generation (e.g., fifth generation or 5G) cells that support legacy radio access technologies by sharing a carrier between 5G and legacy transmissions. To facilitate coexistence between legacy and 5G transmissions, a configurable slot structure may be utilized for 5G transmissions. The configurable slot structure may be configured to have an effective duration that prevents transmission thereof during at least a portion of a control region of a legacy subframe. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
