Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a synchronization signal carrying method and an apparatus. The synchronization signal carrying method in the present invention includes: determining, by first user equipment, a priority parameter of a synchronization signal; determining, by the first user equipment according to the priority parameter, a resource for carrying the synchronization signal, where a configuration of the resource indicates the priority parameter; and sending, by the first user equipment, the synchronization signal to second user equipment by using the resource, so that the second user equipment determines a synchronization signal for the second user equipment. The embodiments of the present invention enable a more flexible synchronization signal determining manner in a D2D communications system.

Claims (4)

1. A synchronization signal carrying method comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment, a first synchronization signal carried by a first codeword sequence sent by a first user equipment, a second synchronization signal carried by a second codeword sequence sent by a second user equipment, and a third synchronization signal carried by a third codeword sequence sent by a third user equipment,

wherein a configuration of the first codeword sequence indicates that a source of the first synchronization signal is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), a configuration of the second codeword sequence indicates that a source of the second synchronization signal is a network device, and a configuration of the third codeword sequence indicates that a source of the third synchronization signal is the third user equipment, and wherein a source priority of the network device is higher than a source priority of the GNSS, and the source priority of the GNSS is higher than a source priority of the third user equipment; and

determining, by the user equipment, a synchronization signal for the user equipment according to the second synchronization signal carried by the second codeword sequence.
