Abstract

Various communication systems may benefit from appropriate synchronization signal design. For example, third generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) releases 12 and 13 (Rel 12/13) may benefit from such design for device to device (D2D) communications. In particular, synchronization signals may be designed to benefit proximity services (ProSe)/D2D discovery and communication. A method can include transmitting a cellular synchronization signal on a first resource. The method can also include transmitting a device to device synchronization signal on a second resource. The first resource can be different from the second resource. The cellular synchronization signal and the device to device synchronization signal can share a same base sequence.
