1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting a first set of reference signal resources and a second set of reference signal resources on a carrier, the first set of reference signal resources associated with a first carrier type and the second set of reference signal resources associated with a second carrier type; and
signaling support of the first set of reference signal resources to at least one first carrier type UE while maintaining signaling to support the second set of reference signal resources with second carrier type UEs.

Abstract
A method of wireless communication occurs in a frequency band having a first set of resources associated with a first carrier type and a second set of resources associated with a second carrier type. In one configuration, the first carrier type is a NCT (NCT) and the second carrier type is a LCT (LCT). LCT UEs may only receive signals from the second carrier type. However, NCT UEs may receive signals from both the first carrier type and the second carrier type. Therefore, to provide backward compatibility while supporting NCT UEs, an eNodeB may signal support of the first carrier type to a NCT UE while maintaining signaling with LCT UEs.
