Claim:
1. A method for adaptive transmission time intervals (TTIs), the method comprising: transmitting, by a communications controller to a user equipment (UE), a segment of a first TDD TTI configuration of a first TDD interval and a second TDD TTI configuration of the first TDD interval, wherein the first TDD TTI configuration has a first pattern, wherein the second TDD TTI configuration has a second pattern, wherein the first pattern is different than the second pattern, wherein the first TDD TTI configuration has a first uplink TTI segment and a first downlink TTI segment, wherein the second TDD TTI configuration has a second uplink TTI segment and a second downlink TTI segment, wherein the first downlink TTI segment has a first TTI size, and wherein the first uplink TTI segment has a second TTI size; transmitting, by the communications controller to the UE, a first plurality of data on a first TTI in the first downlink TTI segment of the first TDD TTI configurations of the first TDD interval; and receiving, by the communications controller from the UE, a second plurality of data on the first uplink segment of the first TDD TTI configuration of the first TDD interval.
