Abstract
There is provided a communication apparatus including a receiving unit that receives a first synchronization signal from a synchronization source; a control unit that identifies, prior to receiving the first synchronization signal by the receiving unit, a value corresponding to a number of times of relaying the first synchronization signal, and that identifies a resource assignment corresponding to the identified value; and a transmitting unit that transmits a second synchronization signal by using a transmission resource assigned by the identified resource assignment.
Claims5
A communication apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit that receives a first synchronization signal from a synchronization source;
- a control unit that identifies, prior to receiving the first synchronization signal by the receiving unit, a value corresponding to a number of times of relaying the first synchronization signal, and that identifies a resource assignment corresponding to the identified value;
- and
- a transmitting unit that transmits a second synchronization signal by using a transmission resource assigned by the identified resource assignment.
A communication method executed by a communication apparatus, the method comprising:
- a step of receiving a first synchronization signal from a synchronization source;
- a step of identifying, prior to receiving the first synchronization signal by the step of receiving, a value corresponding to a number of times of relaying the first synchronization signal, and identifying a resource assignment corresponding to the identified value;
- and
- a step of transmitting a second synchronization signal by using a transmission resource assigned by the identified resource assignment.
