Abstract

Disclosed is a method for cell discovery. In a network in which a macro cell overlaps at least one small cell, when the carrier frequency used by the macro cell is different from the carrier frequency used by the small cell, the small cell transmits a discovery signal using the carrier frequency used by the macro cell, or the small cell transmits a discovery signal using a carrier frequency of the small cell that is different from the carrier frequency used by the macro cell.
