1. A method by a reduced capability wireless device, the method comprising:
receiving system information from a network node, the system information comprising information specific to the reduced capability wireless device; wherein:
the system information is carried at least in part by a first physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH, comprising resource blocks (Y), and
receiving the system information comprises receiving a first subset (X) of resource blocks (Y), the first subset (X) of resource blocks (Y) received using a first bandwidth equal to or less than the maximum bandwidth supported by the reduced capability wireless device;
treating a second subset (Z) of resource blocks (Y) as punctured, the second subset (Z) comprising resource blocks other than the first subset of resource blocks (X), wherein the second subset (Z) comprises all of the resource blocks (Y) except for the first subset (X) of the resource blocks (Y);
and performing an operation using at least the information specific to the reduced capability wireless device received in the system information.
