Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5G or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4G communication system such as LTE. A method of transmitting a synchronization signal for device-to-device (D2D) communication in an asynchronous network is provided. The method includes transmitting, at the first cell, a system information block (SIB) including resource allocation information of a first cell and at least one neighboring cell, determining whether a first terminal is in a first mode and whether the first terminal is scheduled to perform one of a D2D communication and a D2D discovery, determining, when the first terminal is in the first mode, whether the first terminal is required to transmit a D2D synchronization signal (D2DSS), and transmitting, when the first terminal is required to transmit the D2DSS, scheduling information including a transmission time point and transmission reference timing information to the first terminal.
