Abstract

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for generating secondary synchronization signals, wherein the method comprises steps of: determining a value of iteration times M according to a total number N of cell ID groups or a cell ID group index N ID (1) , wherein M is a natural number; calculating to obtain M cyclic shift accumulation parameters q k (k=0, 1 . . . M−1) through M times of iterations; calculating a common cyclic shift factor m′ through q 0 ; calculating a first cyclic shift value m 0 and a second cyclic shift value m 1 according to m′; and generating the secondary synchronization signals according to m 0 and m 1 . The present invention solves the problem that the method for generating the secondary synchronization signals in related arts cannot support a greater number of cell ID groups.
