Abstract
Wireless communications techniques are disclosed, specifically for narrowband communication. One example method includes determining, by a network device, a first bandwidth for narrowband communication, wherein the first bandwidth is less than or equal to a default bandwidth. For example, the default bandwidth may be 5 MHz while narrowband communications operate over a smaller bandwidth, such as 3 or 3.6 MHz. The method further includes transmitting, to a wireless device, information indicative of the first bandwidth. In some implementations, determining the first bandwidth includes determining a starting location and a number of set of consecutive resource blocks, where the set of consecutive resource blocks are included in a control resource set for Type0 Physical Downlink Control Channel Common Search Space (CORESET 0) bandwidth or a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) bandwidth.
