Title: DYNAMIC CYCLIC PREFIX (CP) LENGTH IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION = (54) (57) : An apparatus may determine a cyclic prefix (CP) length = for a signal for a communication link based on a dynamic indication. 700 The CP length may be determined from a plurality of CP lengths. The = .4. ) apparatus may communicate the signal using the determined CP length. Determining the CP length may be further based on at least one of a modulation and coding scheme, a subcarrier spacing, a service type, a = ( START ) communication link direction, a rank number, a type or a capability of = the node, or a number of nodes scheduled in the same transmit time = V (-702 interval. Determining the CP length may include determining a first CP length for a first symbol of a plurality of symbols in the TTI, and determining a second CP length, different than the first CP length, for = Determine at least one of a ey lic prefix (CP) length or a tone spacing fora signal fora communication link based on a dynamic indication, wherein the CP length is determined from a plurality of CP lengths, and the tone spacing is determined from a plurality of = = — tone spacings a second symbol of the plurality of symbols in the TTI.
