Abstract
A method by a user equipment (UE) is described. The method includes receiving, from a base station, MIB providing a first quantity of contiguous resource blocks (RBs) and a first frequency position of a first starting RB for a first CORESET; receiving system information including a second configuration of an initial downlink (DL) BWP, the second configuration providing a second quantity of contiguous RBs, a second frequency position of a second starting RB, and a bitmap indicating frequency domain resources for a second CORESET, each bit of the bitmap corresponds a group of 6 contiguous RBs, with grouping starting from a first RB group in ascending order of RB index; and determining whether the second quantity exceeds a predefined size, wherein in a case the second quantity exceeds the predefined size, determining the first frequency position and the first quantity as a starting position and a bandwidth for an initial DL BWP, and determining a first RB index of the first RB group by using the second frequency position, in a case the second quantity does not exceed the predefined size, determining the second frequency position and the second quantity as the starting position and the bandwidth, and determining the first RB index of the first RB group by using the second frequency position.
