Claim 16:
17. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a processor configured to:
perform physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring in a first portion of a control resource set (CORESET) including a first set of control channel elements (CCEs), wherein the first portion is within a channel bandwidth, and wherein the CORESET includes a second portion including a second set of CCEs outside the channel bandwidth, wherein the PDCCH monitoring is based on puncturing one or more CCEs of the second set of CCEs based on the channel bandwidth; and
a transceiver coupled to the processor, wherein the transceiver is configured to:
receive 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
receive a system information block (SIB) based on the PDCCH monitoring.
