Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, an apparatus, a network node, and a computer program product for transmitting D2D synchronization signals. According to the method, D2D synchronization signals are received from a first network node. A hop number of the D2D synchronization signals is determined based on radio resources of the D2D synchronization signals. Whether to transmit the D2D synchronization signals to a second network node is determined based on the hop number.

Claim (Index 8):
The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the determining unit is further configured to perform a scan for the presence of other synchronization signals when periodically, pseudo-randomly or occasionally dropping the transmission of D2D synchronization signals received from the first network node.
