1. A user equipment (UE) for communication with an access node, the UE comprising baseband circuitry including:
a radio frequency (RF) interface; and
one or more processors configured to:
for a secondary cell (SCell) carrier without a synchronization signal block (SSB), receive from the RF interface data that indicates an offset between a reference point and a lowest subcarrier of a reference physical resource block (PRB), wherein the reference PRB is a lowest PRB of a carrier from a perspective of the access node that allocates the SCell carrier to the UE; and
configure data transmission with the access node according to the offset indicated by the received data.
