Abstract
A D2D communication device sends a synchronization signal to enable synchronization of one or more other D2D communication devices. The D2D communication device provides the synchronization signal with an indication that the synchronization signal is derived from a D2D communication device configured as a synchronization master which, when not being synchronized to an external synchronization reference, has a higher priority to be used as a synchronization source than other D2D communication devices not synchronized to an external synchronization reference.
