Method and apparatus for synchronization for device-to-device communication

摘要

A method and an apparatus for synchronization for a device-to-device communication are disclosed. The method includes: instantly adjusting a synchronization phase value according to a time point when a synchronization signal is received, as soon as a device receives the synchronization signal from an adjacent device in an unconnected state; accumulatively storing at least one phase adjustment value according to a time point when at least one synchronization signal is received, whenever the device receives the at least one synchronization signal from at least one adjacent device in a connected state; and adjusting the synchronization phase value according to the stored at least one phase adjustment value when the device transitions from the connected state to the unconnected state.

1. A method of synchronization for a device-to-device communication, the method comprising:
detecting, by a device, at least one synchronization signal transmitted from at least one adjacent device in a connected state; accumulating at least one phase adjustment value according to a time point when the at least one synchronization signal is received; and in response to transitioning from the connected state to an unconnected state, adjusting a synchronization phase value according to the accumulated phase adjustment value.
