1. A baseband processor of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
generate, for transmission, UE capability information including a frequency separation threshold, wherein the frequency separation threshold represents a frequency separation from a carrier bandwidth (CBW) of the UE;
receive a reference signal (RS) within the frequency separation threshold and outside of the CBW; and
perform a layer 1 (L1) operation based on the RS.
