For example, the frequency band 178 may be an identifier of a frequency band of 3.3 GHz-4.2 GHz, but the cell 134 may actually operate (e.g., operate a control channel) within the 3.4 GHz-3.6 GHz subset of that band. The 3.4 GHz-3.6 GHz subset of the band may be indicated by the frequency sub-band IE 180 in the SIB 170. If the UE 160 is capable of operating in the 3.7 GHz-4.0 GHz subset of the 3.3 GHz-4.2 GHz band but not in the 3.4 GHz-3.6 GHz subset, the UE 160 may not detect or understand the frequency sub-band IE 180 in the SIB 170 and may therefore not be able to camp on that cell, for instance, because it trats the cell 134 as barred response to being unable to recognize an IE (e.g., frequency sub-band IE 180) in the SIB 170 associated with the cell 134.

In another particular example, the SIB 170 may include a frequency band indicator 178 that identifies the frequency at which the cell 134 operates as the n77 band. However, if the cell 134 is operating in the DoD band subset of the n77 band and the UE 160 is only capable of operating in the C-band subset of the n77 band, the UE 160 will not be able to camp on the cell 134. In such an example, the SIB 170 may include a frequency sub-band IE 180 that indicates the DoD band subset of the n77 band. Since the UE 160 may not be able to understand or recognize the frequency sub-band IE 180, the UE 160 may treat the cell 134 as barred.
