1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

  • identifying, within a radio frame, a first subframe that comprises a first number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols and a second subframe that comprises a second number of OFDM symbols that is different from the first number of OFDM symbols, wherein each of the OFDM symbols in the first subframe have a first symbol duration and each of the OFDM symbols in the second subframe have a second symbol duration that is different than the first symbol duration;

    determining that the first number of OFDM symbols of the first subframe of the radio frame is configured for communication in a first link direction;

    communicating in the first link direction during the first subframe of the radio frame using one or more of the first number of OFDM symbols; and

    communicating, during the second subframe of the radio frame using one or more of the second number of OFDM symbols, in the first link direction or a second link direction that is different from the first link direction.
