Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a synchronization signals and physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block;
determining a subcarrier spacing of the SS/PBCH block from a set of subcarrier spacings {15, 30} kilohertz (kHz);
based on determining the subcarrier spacing of the SS/PBCH block as 30 kHz, determining a frequency offset as one of 0, 1, 2, or 3 resource blocks (RBs) based on a configuration in a master information block (MIB) of the SS/PBCH block;
based on determining the subcarrier spacing of the SS/PBCH block as 15 kHz, determining the frequency offset as one of 10, 12, 14, or 16 RBs based on the configuration in the MIB of the SS/PBCH block;
determining a frequency location of a control resource set (CORESET) based on the frequency offset; and
receiving a type0 physical downlink control channel (Type0-PDCCH) based on the frequency location of the CORESET.
