Claim 10:
11. A first user equipment (UE), comprising:
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing programming including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the first UE to perform operations including:
performing, with a network controller, initial access to the network controller on a first subset of contiguous subcarriers of a carrier for communications between the first UE and the network controller, the performing of the initial access comprising:
receiving, from the network controller, a message including configuration information of the first subset of contiguous subcarriers of the carrier;
performing synchronization with the carrier within the first subset of contiguous subcarriers of the carrier and the initial access to the carrier within the first subset of contiguous subcarriers of the carrier; and

after the performing the initial access to the network controller, transmitting an uplink transmission to the network controller or receiving in the carrier a downlink transmission from the network controller.
