Claim 5:
6. A new carrier type Base station for broadcast in a LTE wireless communication network comprising a plurality of new carrier type base stations, the base station comprising:
a determining unit, configured to determine 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 to the first plurality of sets of transmission resources, which second set of transmission resources is used for transmission of a synchronization signal of the base station; and
a transmitting unit, configured to transmit system information in the determined first set of transmission resources;
wherein:
the new carrier type base station is configured to determine the second set of transmission resources based on a time-frequency resource of the synchronization signal, the time-frequency resource indicating time and frequency offset of the synchronization signal in an LTE frame structure, and 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 determining unit is further configured to determine the first set of transmission resources based on 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 more 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.
