A method comprising: receiving at a user equipment (102; 103; 105) a plurality of broadcast signals, wherein said plurality of signals comprise at least one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS); a secondary synchronization signal (SSS); and a common reference symbol (CRS); receiving control information, said control information defining which of a plurality of signals said user equipment (102; 103; 105) uses for synchronization, wherein said control information indicates that said user equipment (102;103;105) is to use a user equipment specific signal for synchronization to obtain synchronization information with respect to a transmission point (106;107;118;120); receiving at said user equipment (102;103;105) said user equipment specific signal, wherein said user equipment specific signal comprises a demodulation reference signal (DMRS); and using said user equipment specific signal to obtain said synchronization information with respect to said transmission point (106;107;118;120), wherein said transmission point (106;107;118;120) is one transmission point of a plurality of transmission points (106;107;118;120), wherein said synchronization information comprises frequency information and timing information, and wherein said user equipment (102;103;105) is in communication with the plurality of transmission points (106; 107; 118; 120), said transmission point (106;107;118;120) being a serving transmission point, said control information indicating if said user equipment (102;103;105) is to use a same or different reference to that of the serving transmission point for at least one other of said transmission points (106;107;118;120). receiving at a user equipment (102; 103; 105) a plurality of broadcast signals, wherein said plurality of signals comprise at least one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS); a secondary synchronization signal (SSS); and a common reference symbol (CRS); receiving control information, said control information defining which of a plurality of signals said user equipment (102; 103; 105) uses for synchronization, wherein said control information indicates that said user equipment (102;103;105) is to use a user equipment specific signal for synchronization to obtain synchronization information with respect to a transmission point (106;107;118;120); receiving at said user equipment (102;103;105) said user equipment specific signal, wherein said user equipment specific signal comprises a demodulation reference signal (DMRS); and using said user equipment specific signal to obtain said synchronization information with respect to said transmission point (106;107;118;120), wherein said transmission point (106;107;118;120) is one transmission point of a plurality of transmission points (106;107;118;120), wherein said synchronization information comprises frequency information and timing information, and wherein said user equipment (102;103;105) is in communication with the plurality of transmission points (106; 107; 118; 120), said transmission point (106;107;118;120) being a serving transmission point, said control information indicating if said user equipment (102;103;105) is to use a same or different reference to that of the serving transmission point for at least one other of said transmission points (106;107;118;120). <EOS>
