This application provides a communication method and a communications device. One example method includes: receiving, by a first communications device, first information from a third communications device; and sending, by the third communications device, the first information to the first communications device.

Communication method and communications apparatus

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, relates to a signal sending device, a signal receiving device, a symbol timing synchronization method, and a system, and resolves a problem that complexity of symbol timing synchronization performed by a terminal with relatively low crystal oscillator accuracy is high. In a receiving device, a receiving module receives a synchronization signal including a first signal and a second signal. The first signal includes N1 generalized ZC sequences, and the second signal includes N2 generalized ZC sequences. The second signal is used to distinguish different cells or different cell groups. There are at least two generalized ZC sequences with different root indexes in (N1+N2) generalized ZC sequences. A processing module performs a first sliding correlation operation and a second sliding correlation operation on the synchronization signal, and performs symbol timing synchronization according to a relationship between a sliding correlation peak generated when a sliding correlation is performed on the N1 generalized ZC sequences and a sliding correlation peak generated when a sliding correlation is performed on the N2 generalized ZC sequences. This has relatively low implementation complexity, compared with an existing method in which grid search should be performed multiple times to compensate for a relatively large phase rotation.
