1. User Equipment (UE) comprising:

  • a receiver circuit configured to receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message from an evolved Node B (eNB) of a serving cell for said UE, said RRC message comprising carrier information associated with said serving cell eNB;

    a processing circuit configured to extract, from said serving cell eNB carrier information;

    a carrier type, synchronization information and Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement information, wherein said synchronization information comprises a status indicator for a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) / Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) and a reference cell index associated with said PSS/SSS;

    a synchronization circuit configured to synchronize said UE to said serving cell eNB based on said synchronization information associated with said serving cell eNB carrier information; and

    a signal measurement circuit configured to perform RRM signal measurements on said serving cell eNB based on said RRM measurement information associated with said serving cell eNB carrier information.
