1. A method of wireless communication used in a millimeter wave (mmW) network, comprising:
utilizing a downlink frame structure from a number of preconfigured downlink frame structures for mmW transmissions, wherein each downlink frame structure of the number of preconfigured downlink frame structures has a different range of symbol indexes allocated as available downlink resources for downlink control;
determining a first symbol index and a second symbol index associated with the utilized downlink frame structure to be allocated to a user equipment (UE), the first symbol index indicating when downlink resources begin in a subframe and the second symbol index indicating when the downlink resources end in the subframe, wherein the downlink resources are associated with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the PDSCH is dynamically scheduled via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and wherein the PDSCH is directional; and
transmitting, to the UE, an indication of the first symbol index and the second symbol index, wherein the first symbol index and the second symbol index are indicated within a downlink control information (DCI) message.
