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 14):
A method, comprising:\n determining a synchronization source identifier and a forwarding hop count; encapsulating the synchronization source identifier and forwarding hop count into first device-to-device (D2D) synchronization information; acquiring a primary D2D synchronization signal (PD2DSS)-secondary D2D synchronization signal (SD2DSS) group corresponding to the synchronization source identifier, according to a preset correspondence between a synchronization source identifier and a PD2DSS-SD2DSS group, wherein each PD2DSS-SD2DSS group comprises multiple combinations of PD2DSSes and SD2DSSes; acquiring an SD2DSS corresponding to the determined forwarding hop count, according to a preset correspondence between an SD2DSS and a forwarding hop count; determining a combination of a PD2DSS and an SD2DSS that comprises the SD2DSS and that is in the PD2DSS-SD2DSS group; adding the combination of the PD2DSS and the SD2DSS to a D2D synchronization signal, and using the D2D synchronization signal as the first D2D synchronization information; and sending the first D2D synchronization information in the D2D synchronization signal.
