A device, network, and method for providing a variable-duration reference signal. In an embodiment, a method for wireless communications includes determining, by a first device, a starting timing and an ending timing of one or more symbols of a first carrier in accordance with a reference timing for transmission and reception, wherein each of the one or more symbols has a fixed duration; determining, by the first device, a signal of variable duration on the first carrier, wherein the starting timing of the signal of variable duration is offset from the starting timing of any of the one or more symbols of the first carrier in accordance with the reference timing; and transmitting, by the first device on the first carrier, the signal of variable duration, at the starting timing of the signal of variable duration. |
