Claim 0:
1. A method performed by a new carrier type base station, from among a plurality of new carrier type base stations, for broadcast in a LTE wireless communication network, the method comprising:
determining a first set of transmission resources to be used for transmission of system information, out of a first plurality of sets of transmission resources, and a second set of transmission resources, out of a second plurality of sets of transmission resources that are different from the first plurality of sets of transmission resources, which second set of transmission resources is used for transmission of a synchronization signal of the new carrier type base station; and
transmitting the system information in the determined first set of transmission resources;
wherein:
the second set of transmission resources are determined based on a time-frequency resource of the synchronization signal, the time-frequency resource indicating time and frequency offsets of the synchronization signal in an LTE frame structure, the time and frequency offsets being configured to be different for adjacent new carrier type base stations among the plurality of new carrier type base stations;
the first set of transmission resources is determined based on the second set of transmission resources, and the determining includes determining which set of transmission resources, out of the first plurality of sets of transmission resources, is associated with the second set of transmission resources;
the synchronization signal is one or both of: a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS); and
the transmission resources in the first set of transmission resources are time-frequency resource elements.
