Indication of requirements of a user equipment

The apparatus of any preceding claim,

• wherein the first channel bandwidth is less than 5 MHz;
• or
• wherein the first channel bandwidth is 3 MHz;
• or
• wherein the first channel bandwidth is 3 MHz to 5 MHz.

The apparatus of any preceding claim, caused to perform:

• determining requirements associated with a wider bandwidth than the first channel bandwidth;
• receiving a configuration of a bandwidth region associated with more stringent requirements than those associated with the wider bandwidth;
• receiving resource allocation for uplink transmission, wherein allocated resources overlap with the bandwidth region;
• and
• applying the more stringent requirements associated with the bandwidth region for the uplink transmission.

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform:
• determining that user equipments meeting a first set of requirements on at least one condition are allowed to operate in or access a network comprising the apparatus configured to operate with a first channel bandwidth associated with the first set of requirements, wherein the first channel bandwidth is at least one of:
• other than 5 MHz multiplied by a non-zero positive integer;
• or narrower than a nominal carrier bandwidth;
• transmitting signalling comprising an indication that user equipments meeting the first set of requirements on at least one condition are allowed to operate in or access the network;
• receiving, from at least one user equipment, at least one signal indicating that the at least one user equipment does not meet the first set of requirements without at least one condition.
