Abstract
User equipment (UE) may receive a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) of a cell having a cell bandwidth. The PBCH may include a master information block having an indication of a frequency bandwidth of control information associated with a restricted bandwidth. The restricted bandwidth may be a part of the cell bandwidth and be less than the entire cell bandwidth. The UE may receive the control information, based on the received PBCH, and to receive additional system information within the restricted bandwidth.
