Claim:
1. A method for enabling a User Equipment (UE) to measure a reference signal for small cell discovery, the method comprising: receiving, by the UE from a first base station, a higher layer signaling message including reference signal configuration information for at least one of a channel quality measurement and a small cell discovery; receiving, by the UE, a reference signal transmitted from a second base station of a small cell being in a dormant state; and identifying, by the UE, the reference signal received from the second base station, based on the reference signal configuration information received the first base station, wherein the reference signal configuration information includes (i) Physical Cell Identity (PCID) information of the second base station that transmits the reference signal and (ii) information on a scrambling identity used by the second base station to generate the reference signal.
