DISCOVERY SIGNALS AND NETWORK SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNALS DESIGN IN LTE

摘要

Base stations (eg, small cells) may support active and dormant states. To facilitate state transitions, these cells may transmit discovery signals. The transmission design from the small cells of both the discovery signals and the network synchronization signals will provide at regular intervals while supporting the advantage of transitioning between active and dormant states. A method, computer program product, and apparatus for determining a first reference signal for at least one of discovery or measurement, and a second reference signal for synchronization are disclosed, wherein both the first reference signal and the second reference signal are identical It is based on the type of reference signal.
