Bandwidth configuration for narrowband communications

A method of wireless communication comprising:

• determining, by a network device, a first bandwidth for a wireless device to perform narrowband communication,
• wherein the first bandwidth is less than or equal to a default bandwidth, wherein the default bandwidth is greater than or equal to 5 MHz, and wherein the first bandwidth is determined based on a location of a set of consecutive resource units and a number of resource units of the set of consecutive resource units;
• and
• transmitting, to the wireless device, information indicative of the first bandwidth.

A method of wireless communication comprising:

• receiving, by a wireless device from a network device, information indicative of a first bandwidth for performing narrowband communication,
• wherein the first bandwidth is less than or equal to a default bandwidth, wherein the default bandwidth is greater than or equal to 5 MHz, and wherein the first bandwidth is determined based on a location of a set of consecutive resource units and a number of resource units of the set of consecutive resource units;
• and
• transmitting, by the wireless device, a message in the first bandwidth.

An apparatus for wireless communication comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions, execution of which by the processor causes the apparatus to:

• determine a first bandwidth for a wireless device to perform narrowband communication,
• wherein the first bandwidth is less than or equal to a default bandwidth, wherein the default bandwidth is greater than or equal to 5 MHz, and wherein the first bandwidth is determined based on a location of a set of consecutive resource units and a number of resource units of the set of consecutive resource units;
• and
• transmit information indicative of the first bandwidth.
