Claim 2:
3. An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
a memory;
a modem; and
one or more processors, the one or more processors and the memory, in conjunction with the modem, are configured to:
transmit an activation message, the activation message comprising one or more transmission parameters,
a duration for transmissions on an uplink communication channel and an uplink short Transmission Time Interval (sTTI) pattern for the transmissions on the uplink communication channel being indicated by the one or more transmission parameters;

receive repetitive transmissions on the uplink communication channel for the duration and based on the uplink sTTI pattern, the duration comprising a number of sTTIs for the repetitive transmissions in one or more subframes, the repetitive transmissions being performed in two or more subframes, one of the number of sTTIs comprising two symbols, the one or more subframes further comprising within each of the one or more subframes a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) based on the one or more transmission parameters; and
transmit a configuration message, the configuration message comprising one or more configuration parameters,
the duration being further indicated the one or more configuration parameters,
the activation message being included within a downlink control information (DCI) message, and
the configuration message being included within a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message.
