Abstract:
A device synchronization method in D2D communication implements synchronization between devices. One such method includes receiving first device-to-device (D2D) synchronization information sent by a first device in a D2D communication, including a secondary D2D synchronization signal (SD2DSS). The method further includes determining a synchronization source identifier and a forwarding hop count according to preset correspondences between the SD2DSS and the synchronization source identifier and between the SD2DSS and the forwarding hop count. A synchronization source which corresponds to the synchronization source identifier is synchronized with. The forwarding hop count in the first D2D synchronization information is updated in response to determining that the forwarding hop count in the first D2D synchronization information is less than a set threshold, to obtain second D2D synchronization information, and the second D2D synchronization information is sent.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n receiving the first D2D synchronization signal using a first resource that is used for D2D synchronization signals and that is comprised in a radio frame used for sending D2D synchronization signals; and sending a second D2D synchronization signal using a second resource that is used for D2D synchronization signals and that is comprised in the radio frame, wherein radio frames for sending the second D2D synchronization signal are configured for each transmission cycle, and in each radio frame used for sending the second D2D synchronization signal, a plurality of resources used for the second D2D synchronization signal are configured, and wherein the first resource is different than the second resource.
