Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for allocation of CORESET #0 for new radio (NR). A method may include determining a control resource set zero configuration table to be applicable based on a synchronization raster of a narrowband new radio where a synchronization signal block has been detected; receiving a physical broadcast channel according to a puncturing assumption; obtaining, from a master information block indicated in the received physical broadcast channel, a row index pointing into the control resource set zero configuration table; determining information related to at least one of information of punctured or non-punctured resource blocks, or interleaving information, based on the row index; and using the determined information to determine the control resource set zero for the narrowband new radio.
