Claim:
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising: transmitting first control information to support communication for at least one first user equipment (UE) on a first system bandwidth; and transmitting second control information to support communication for at least one second UE, wherein the at least one second UE communicates on a second system bandwidth comprising a bandwidth portion that overlaps the first system bandwidth and additional bandwidth, wherein the second control information is transmitted on only the first system bandwidth; transmitting a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) across the first system bandwidth; and transmitting at least one additional reference signal only on the additional bandwidth, wherein resource blocks within the first system bandwidth are assigned unique indices, resource blocks within the additional bandwidth are assigned unique indices, and a given resource block has a same index for the first system bandwidth and the bandwidth portion of the second system bandwidth that overlaps the first system bandwidth.
