Methods, systems, and devices for signaling reduction schemes in a wireless communication are described. A wireless communication method is provided to include signaling, by a network device, a cell configuration information including a first cell configuration for a first cell, a reference configuration information, and a reference identification (ID) for establishing a logical link between the first cell and the reference configuration information, and wherein the signaling is used to configure the first cell based on the first cell configuration for the first cell and the reference configuration information.
