1. A narrow-band Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) User Equipment (UE), the NB-IoT UE comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the NB-IoT UE to perform at least:
receiving, from a base station, information on a limitation of one or more inactive bandwidth parts supported in a cell of the base station, wherein the one or more inactive bandwidth parts are bandwidth parts usable by UE in an inactive state; and
inhibiting access to the cell based on the limitation of the one or more inactive bandwidth parts supported in the cell and a limitation of one or more bandwidth parts supported by the NB-IoT UE, wherein each bandwidth part is subcarrier spacing specific.
