Cell-specific or transmission point (TP)-specific information is indicated to a UE based on the subframe in which a cell/TP transmits its primary and secondary synchronization sequences (PSS and SSS). The principal scenario of interest is a dense deployment of picocells/TPs which are under the control of an overlaid macrocell's eNodeB. Since the antenna port from which PSS/SSS are transmitted can change between subframes, the invention associates some information (such as zero power CSI-RS) related to the picocell/TP transmitting the PSS/SSS with a particular PSS/SSS and subframe combination. The table of associations can be provided by signalling from the macrocell eNodeB, and the information being associated can then be obtained by the UE from any picocell/TP it is in range of without additional signalling being necessary. |
