Synchronization Processing Method and Apparatus, and Device

A synchronization processing method, comprising:

• receiving, by a terminal device, a first synchronization signal having one or more first beams and sent in a first time unit by a network device;
• receiving a second synchronization signal having one or more second beams sent in a second time unit by the network device, wherein a time offset corresponding to each of the one or more first beams and of the one or more second beams is different, and wherein the time offset is a difference between a time sequence of the one or more first beams in the first synchronization signal and a time sequence of the one or more second beams in the second synchronization signal;
• and
• determining, by the terminal device according to the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal, an optimal transmit beam of the network device for the terminal device and a time sequence in which the optimal transmit beam is located.

A network device, comprising:

• a transmitter;
• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions to:
• generate a first synchronization signal and a second synchronization signal;
• cause the transmitter to send, in a first time unit, a first synchronization signal having one or more first beams to a terminal device;
• and
• cause the transmitter to send, in a second time unit, a second synchronization signal having one or more second beams to the terminal device, wherein the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal cause the terminal device to determine, according to the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal, an optimal transmit beam of the network device for the terminal device from the one or more first beam and the one or more second beams, and further to determine a time sequence in which the optimal transmit beam is located;
• wherein a time offset corresponding to each of the one or more first beams and of the one or more second beams is different, and wherein the time offset is a difference between a time sequence of the one or more first beams in the first synchronization signal and a time sequence of the one or more second beams in the second synchronization signal.

A terminal device, comprising:

• a receiver;
• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions to:
• receive, through the receiver, a first synchronization signal having one or more first beams and sent in a first time unit by a network device;
• receive, through the receiver, a second synchronization signal having one or more second beams sent in a second time unit by the network device, wherein a time offset corresponding to each of the one or more first beams and of the one or more second beams is different, and wherein the time offset is a difference between a time sequence of the one or more first beams in the first synchronization signal and a time sequence of the one or more second beams in the second synchronization signal;
• and
• determine, according to the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal, an optimal transmit beam of the network device for the terminal device and a time sequence in which the optimal transmit beam is located.
