Techniques for handling wide bandwidth communications

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for transmitting, to a network access device, a first indication of a supported bandwidth capability of the UE, wherein the supported bandwidth capability of the UE is less than a maximum component carrier bandwidth associated with the network access device;
• means for receiving, from the network access device, a second indication including an assignment bandwidth for a broadcast message, wherein the assignment bandwidth is within the supported bandwidth capability of the UE;
• means for receiving the broadcast message over a component carrier in accordance with the supported bandwidth capability of the UE and the assignment bandwidth for the broadcast message;
• and
• means for communicating with the network access device over the component carrier based at least in part on the broadcast message and the supported bandwidth capability of the UE.
