1. A method of operating a transmitting node in a millimeter-wave communication network, the method comprising:
generating communication signaling in a transmission timing structure, the communication signaling comprising N signaling blocks, N being an integer multiple of 2;
a subset of M consecutive blocks of the signaling blocks representing control signaling, M being a power of 2 and less than N;
a subset of I blocks of the N signaling blocks representing demodulation reference signaling (DMRS) elements, I being an integer greater than one;
N-M-I signaling blocks of the N signaling blocks representing data signaling blocks;
the M consecutive control signaling blocks being preceded by a first adjacent DMRS element and being followed by a second adjacent DMRS elements depending on a number of the M consecutive control signaling blocks, the first adjacent DMRS element and the second adjacent DMRS element having a same reference signaling time domain sequence and indicating a cyclic prefix for the M consecutive control signaling blocks; and
transmitting the communication signaling.
