US Patent 10461975 Dynamic cyclic prefix (CP) length in wireless communication

An apparatus may determine a cyclic prefix (CP) length for a signal for a communication link based on a dynamic indication. The CP length may be determined from a plurality of CP lengths. The apparatus may communicate the signal using the determined CP length. Determining the CP length may be further based on at least one of a modulation and coding scheme, a subcarrier spacing, a service type, a communication link direction, a rank number, a type or a capability of the node, or a number of nodes scheduled in the same transmit time interval. Determining the CP length may include determining a first CP length for a first symbol of a plurality of symbols in the TTI, and determining a second CP length, different than the first CP length, for a second symbol of the plurality of symbols in the TTI. Various additional and alternative aspects are described herein.
