Abstract: Methods and apparatus for early determination of an operation mode in a Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) system are provided. A User Equipment (UE) determines a mode of operation of a NB-IoT network before decoding a broadcast channel which indicates the mode of operation, based on at least one synchronization signal received at the UE, wherein the mode of operation indicates what bandwidth resources are used in the network. The UE processes signals based on the determined mode of operation.
