a processor; and
a non-transitory memory including instructions, the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
configure a narrowband internet of things carrier relative to one or more physical resource blocks of a radio carrier and within one physical resource block of the one or more physical resource blocks, the one or more physical resource blocks having a bandwidth that is greater than a bandwidth of the narrowband internet of things carrier; and
configure the narrowband internet of things carrier relative to the one or more physical resource blocks and within the one physical resource block of the one or more physical resource blocks such that there is a first guard band between the narrowband internet of things carrier and a first adjacent physical resource block, and a second guard band between the narrowband internet of things carrier and a second adjacent physical resource block.
