1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor operatively coupled to the transceiver; wherein:
the transceiver and the processor are configured to receive a first signal including first downlink control information (DCI) associated with a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), wherein the first DCI includes scheduling information for receipt of a second signal;
the transceiver and the processor are configured to receive the second signal based on the scheduling information, wherein the second signal includes a first uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) configuration indication;
the transceiver and the processor are configured to receive, via a common physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) search space, a third signal including second DCI associated with a second RNTI, wherein the second DCI includes a second UL/DL configuration indication, wherein the second RNTI is associated with the second UL/DL configuration indication, and wherein the first RNTI is different from the second RNTI;
the processor is configured to determine at least one of an uplink direction or a downlink direction for at least one time unit based on both the received first UL/DL configuration indication and the received second UL/DL configuration indication; and
the transceiver and the processor are configured to at least one of transmit UL data in the at least one time unit based on the determined uplink direction or receive DL data in the at least one time unit based on the determined downlink direction.
