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 10):
An apparatus for transmitting device-to-device (D2D) synchronization signals, the apparatus comprising:\n at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program instructions, wherein the at least one memory and computer program instructions are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:\n receive, via a receiver of the apparatus, a D2D synchronization signal from a first network node on a first subframe with a first subframe offset for a first hop number of the D2D synchronization signal; \n determine a second subframe offset for a second hop number of the D2D synchronization signal; and \n transmit, via a transmitter of the apparatus, the D2D synchronization signal to a second network node on a second subframe with the second subframe offset.
