1. A method in a user equipment, the method comprising:
- receiving, over a first cell configured on a carrier frequency, parameters associated with a second cell configured on a carrier frequency, wherein the parameters comprise a cell identity and a number of transmit antenna ports; and
deriving at least one physical layer characteristic for the second cell based on both of the received parameters, thereby enabling the user equipment to receive transmissions over the second cell.

Abstract
A mobile terminal receives, over a first cell configured on a carrier frequency, at least one parameter associated with a second cell configured on a carrier frequency. The at least one parameter comprises a cell identity. The mobile terminal then derives at least one physical layer characteristic for the second cell based on the received at least one parameter. Thereby, the mobile terminal is able to receive transmissions over the second cell, even if it could not initially detect the presence of the cell.
