Claim 10:
11. A User Equipment (UE) for receiving information broadcasted from a new carrier type base station from among a plurality of new carrier type base stations in a LTE wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a determining unit, configured to determine a first set of transmission resources 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 is used for receipt of the synchronization signal from the new carrier type base station; and
a receiving unit, configured to receive system information from the new carrier type base station in the determined first set of transmission resources;
wherein:
the determining unit is further 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 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 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 set 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.
