1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
configuring transmission resources into one or more spatial layers organized into subframes, wherein transmission resources in each subframe are along a two-dimensional grid of time and frequency resource elements comprising symbols and subcarriers; and
for each spatial layer, configuring the corresponding resource elements by:
designating a first group of resource elements as common resources that carry signal transmissions common to a first group of user devices according to a first radio technology;
designating a second group of resource elements as common resources that carry signal transmissions common to a second group of user devices according to a second radio technology;
designating a third group of resource elements as device-specific resources that carry device-specific signal transmissions to user devices in the first group of user devices;
designating a fourth group of resource elements as device-specific resources that carry device-specific signal transmissions to user devices in the second group of users; and
providing simultaneous connectivity to the first group of user devices and the second group of user devices based on use of transmission resources from the one or more spatial layers, such that the transmission resources from the one or more spatial layers are orthogonal in a space dimension.
