1. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving signaling of resources in a narrowband region, the narrowband region spanning no more than a single 180 kilohertz resource block in a transmission time interval (TTI);
receiving physical broadcast channel information on the signaled resources in the narrowband region; and
performing system acquisition in the narrowband region based at least in part on the physical broadcast channel information received on the signaled resources.
