Claim 23:
24. A base station (BS) comprising:
a processor configured to:
determine, based on a channel bandwidth, a first portion of a control resource set (CORESET), wherein the first portion is within a channel bandwidth, and wherein the CORESET includes a second portion outside the channel bandwidth; and
a transceiver coupled to the processor, wherein the transceiver is configured to:
transmit system information block (SIB) scheduling information in the first portion of the CORESET including a reference signal, wherein the transceiver configured to transmit the reference signal is configured to:
puncture a portion of the reference signal in the second portion of the CORESET; and
increase a transmit power for the reference signal from a reference transmit power based on the puncturing;

transmit a synchronization signal block (SSB) including an indication of a starting RB offset associated with the CORESET, wherein the starting RB offset comprises a number of RBs relative to the SSB; and
transmit a SIB based on the SIB scheduling information.
