1. A first device, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code;
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the first device to:
receive, from a second device, an indication of a reference bandwidth;
receive, from the second device, an indication of a bandwidth extended from the reference bandwidth;
receive, from the second device, an indication of at least one frequency offset of a first set of narrowbands with respect to a second set of narrowbands associated with the reference bandwidth; and
determine, based on the reference bandwidth, the extended bandwidth and the frequency offset, the first set of narrowbands for communication with the second device.
