Abstract

The present application discloses a method and a device for wireless communications, including: receiving a first signal, the first signal comprising a first message; and determining a synchronization reference according to at least whether the first message is transmitted via a direct path; the first message indicating a first sidelink frequency list, the first sidelink frequency list comprising a first frequency, which is used for sidelink communication; and receiving a first synchronization signal from the synchronization reference determined; and transmitting a second synchronization signal; a reception timing for the first synchronization signal being used to determine a transmission timing of the second synchronization signal. By receiving the first message and first synchronization signal, the present application can determine the synchronization reference correctly.
