SIGNAL TRANSMISSION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CELL SEARCH IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Methods and apparatus for transmitting and receiving signals are provided for facilitating a cell search in a wireless communication system supporting various types of multicarrier transmission. A carrier type indication signal indicating a type of carrier supported by the base station is generated. The carrier type indication signal is transmitted with synchronization signals, to one or more terminals in a cell of the base station. A type of a carrier supported by a base station is determined based on a carrier type indication signal transmitted by the base station. A cell search procedure is performed to access the base station according to the type of the carrier supported by the base station.
