FIRST NETWORK NODE, SECOND NETWORK NODE, FIRST WIRELESS DEVICE, AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY FOR HANDLING A CARRIER IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Abstract:

A method performed by a first network node operating in a wireless communications network is described herein. The first network node initiates sending a first indication to a first wireless device operating in the wireless communications network using NB-IoT. The first indication indicates that a first carrier, the first carrier being a standalone Narrow Band-Internet of Things, NB-IoT, carrier operating within a New Radio, NR, carrier, is: a) deployed in one of: a guardband mode and an inband mode, and b) shifted away by a frequency offset from a frequency channel raster grid used by the first wireless device.
