1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor;
a transceiver configured for bidirectional wireless communications with network equipment within a communication system; and
at least one memory storing computer-readable instructions, wherein the at least one memory and the computer-readable instructions are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to:
receive, using the transceiver, a subframe in which multiple numerologies are multiplexed in a TDM manner comprising at least one symbol for control information and at least one data symbol, each of the multiple numerologies defined by a different subcarrier spacing;
decode the at least one symbol for control information based on a first numerology, the first numerology being one of the multiple numerologies; and
obtain, from the decoded at least one symbol for control information, information regarding a selected second numerology used on the at least one data symbol, the second numerology being one of the multiple numerologies which is selectable separately from the first numerology.
