7. A user equipment comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one 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 user equipment at least to:
determine, by the user equipment in a wireless network, a starting physical resource block of a common physical resource block grid that is associated with a wideband channel, wherein a plurality of bandwidth parts is provided within the common physical resource block grid, each bandwidth part having a bandwidth that is less than the bandwidth of the wideband channel;
determine, by the user equipment, a wideband channel guard band for the wideband channel, the wideband channel guard band provided between a lowest frequency of the wideband channel and a first usable physical resource block of the common physical resource block grid;
determine, by the user equipment for at least one bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts, a bandwidth part-specific physical resource block grid that is a subset of the common physical resource block grid;
wherein causing the user equipment to determine, by the user equipment for at least one bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts, the bandwidth part-specific physical resource block grid comprises causing the user equipment to determine at least a lower edge or a lowest-frequency physical resource block of the bandwidth part-specific physical resource block grid for the at least one bandwidth part; and
wherein causing the user equipment to determine the at least a lower edge or a lowest-frequency physical resource block of the bandwidth part-specific physical resource block grid for the at least one bandwidth part comprises causing the user equipment to determine a first full physical resource block of the common physical resource block grid that fulfills a minimum guard band requirement for the at least one bandwidth part.
