This disclosure generally relates to cell discovery. In one embodiment, an association between a cell and an indicator index corresponding to one of a set of scrambling sequence indicators may be predefined. A first base station may transmit the set of scrambling sequence indicators to a second base station. The second base station may select an indicator from the indicators according to the predefined association, for generating a reference signal to be transmitted to user equipment. The user equipment may determine identification information of the cell based on the received reference signal and the predefined association, and transmit the identification information to the first base station. The user equipment may determine the identification information of the cell based on the received reference signal, and then transmit the identification information to the base station, such that the load on the base station may be reduced in the procedure of cell discovery. |
