Claim 11:
12. A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), an indication of an initial downlink bandwidth for the UE;
transmitting, to the UE via a master information block (MIB), configuration information for a control resource set (CORESET) associated with physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring for initial access, wherein the configuration information indicates a frequency domain resource allocation for the CORESET, and wherein the frequency domain resource allocation for the CORESET is at least partially outside of the initial downlink bandwidth; and
transmitting an indication of an action to be performed by the UE when the frequency domain resource allocation for the CORESET is at least partially outside of the initial downlink bandwidth, wherein the action is associated with identifying a starting resource block of the CORESET that is outside of the initial downlink bandwidth and wherein the action includes at least one of:
reducing a quantity of resource blocks associated with the frequency domain resource allocation for the CORESET based at least in part on a quantity of available resource blocks in the initial downlink bandwidth;
identifying the starting resource block of the CORESET using common resource block index values and a resource block offset indicated by the configuration information; or
identifying the starting resource block of the CORESET based at least in part on virtually extending resource block indices associated with the initial downlink bandwidth.
