Claim:
1. A method of synchronizing a new type cell in a user equipment, where the new type cell is supported by a new type user equipment and not supported by a legacy user equipment, the method comprising: receiving information related to a first synchronization reference cell and a second synchronization reference cell, wherein the first synchronization reference cell and the second synchronization reference cell are configured as a synchronization reference cell for the new type cell, and measuring a channel state of each of the first synchronization reference cell and the second synchronization reference cell, performing a synchronization of the new type cell, wherein the synchronization of the new type cell is performed based on a synchronization information of the synchronization reference cell having a value of the measured channel state equal to or greater than a prescribed value in the first synchronization reference cell and the second synchronization reference cell.
