Abstract
Modifications to frame/subframe structure are presented herein so that a wireless device can transmit its data within a fraction of a subframe. The device obtains data to be transmitted in an unlicensed spectrum and determines whether an entire subframe is required to completely communicate the data. If the data is small enough to not require the entire subframe, then the device generates a burst transmission to minimize the time period of the subframe used to communicate the data. The device transmits the burst transmission and a parameter indicating the duration of the burst transmission.
