1. An apparatus comprising:
a processor that performs:
transmitting a numerology scheme indicating a frequency region and a sub-carrier spacing for the frequency region; and
configuring sub-carriers for the frequency region based in part on the numerology scheme, wherein slots with shorter Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol durations are monitored for transmission control in a limited set of given OFDM symbols and slots with longer OFDM symbol durations are monitored for the transmission control in an expanded set of given OFDM symbols, and the transmission control comprises a symbol position, control frequency ranges that include the transmission control, and a slot type indicator, and the transmission control is a mini-slot transmission control in slot 0, the mini-slot transmission comprising 1 to 6 OFDM symbols.
