Claim 9:
10. A method, comprising:
acquiring, by a bandwidth-limited user equipment (UE) having a bandwidth capability, a synchronization signal block including a master information block (MIB);
determining a set of identifying bits, wherein the set of identifying bits is contained in the MIB or in an extended MIB (e-MIB);
identifying an initial control resource set (CORESET), based on the set of identifying bits, the initial CORESET occupying a bandwidth greater than the bandwidth capability of the bandwidth-limited UE;
selecting, by the bandwidth-limited UE, a portion of the initial CORESET, the portion of the initial CORESET occupying a bandwidth within the bandwidth capability of the bandwidth-limited UE;
receiving, by the bandwidth-limited UE, an initial bandwidth part (BWP) configuration; and
switching, by the bandwidth-limited UE, to the initial BWP configuration,
wherein:
the bandwidth-limited UE is configured with a UE-specific dedicated BWP, and
the UE-specific dedicated BWP is different from the initial BWP configuration.
