In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may transmit downlink information to at least one UE using a plurality of downlink TTIs within a subframe/slot. The apparatus may receive uplink information from the at least one UE using at least one uplink region within the subframe/slot. In another aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The ap - paratus may receive downlink information from a base station using at least one downlink TTI within a subframe/slot. The subframe/slot may include a plurality of downlink TTIs and at least one uplink region. The apparatus may transmit uplink informa- tion to the base station using the at least one uplink region within the subframe/slot. 111111111111110111010101111101011111011101011110011101101110111111111110111111 WO 2017/176409 Al MIDEDIMOHNIIMME3010MINHONHOMEHOIMI DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, GB, GR, HR, HU, IE, IS, IT, LT, Published: LU, LV, MC, MK, MT, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, RS, SE, SI, SK, SM, TR), OAPI (BF, BJ, CF, CG, CI, CM, GA, with international search report (Art. 21(3)) GN, GQ, GW, KM, ML, MR, NE, SN, TD, TG).
