Claim Text:
1. A method for receiving a synchronization signal by a user equipment, the method comprising: detecting a first primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a first secondary synchronization signal (SSS) in a subframe #n; detecting a second PSS and a second SSS in a subframe #n+5; acquiring synchronization with a cell carrying the first and second PSSs and the first and second SSSs based on the first and second PSSs and the first and second SSSs, wherein the first PSS is located on an OFDM symbol #m−1 among OFDM symbols #0 to #m−1 of an even-numbered slot of the subframe #n, the first SSS is located on an OFDM symbol #m−2 of the even-numbered slot of the subframe #n, the second PSS is located on an OFDM symbol #m−1 among OFDM symbols #0 to #m−1 of an even-numbered slot of the subframe #n+5 and the second SSS is located on an OFDM symbol #m−2 of the even-numbered slot of the subframe #n+5, when the cell is a legacy type cell, and wherein at least the first PSS or second PSS is located on an OFDM symbol other than the OFDM symbol #m−1 of the even-numbered slot in the subframe #n or #n+5 and at least the first or second SSS is located on another OFDM symbol other than the OFDM symbol #m−2 of the even-numbered slot in the subframe #n or #n+5, when the cell is a new type cell.
