Abstract
An electronic device that is configured to receive synchronization signals transmitted from each of a plurality of devices, select at least one synchronization signal from among the synchronization signals to perform a synchronization process based on a determination that the electronic device is moving toward a location at which at least one of the synchronization signals is not available, and perform the synchronization process based on the selected synchronization signal.
Claims9
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication interface configured to
- receives synchronization signals transmitted from each of a plurality of devices, wherein the synchronization signals include at least a Primary Sidelink Synchronization Signal (PSSS);
- a local synchronization signal, and a Secondary Sidelink Synchronization Signal (SSSS), wherein one of the synchronization signals is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal received from a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite, and
- receive an instruction from a base station to select the at least one synchronization signal from among the synchronization signals;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- select the local synchronization signal from among the synchronization signals based on an instruction received from the base station to perform a synchronization process based on a determination that the electronic device is moving toward a tunnel;
- and
- perform the synchronization process based on the local synchronization signal.
