Abstract

La présente invention concerne un réseau de capteurs, une communication de type machine (MTC), une communication de machine à machine (M2M) et une technologie pour l'Internet des objets (IoT). La présente invention peut être appliquée à des services intelligents basés sur les technologies ci-dessus, comme l'habitation intelligente, le bâtiment intelligent, la ville intelligente, la voiture intelligente, la voiture connectée, les soins de santé, l'enseignement numérique, le commerce de détail intelligent, les services de sécurité et de sûreté. La présente invention concerne un procédé de synchronisation de terminaux de dispositif à dispositif (D2D). Sous des scénarios de couverture partielle (PC), un équipement utilisateur de couverture (ICUE) peut envoyer un signal de synchronisation D2D (D2DSS) et un canal de diffusion à liaison latérale physique (PSBCH) sur des ressources de synchronisation d'une cellule pour mettre en œuvre une découverte mutuelle d'un ICUE et d'un équipement utilisateur "hors couverture" (OCUE) lorsqu'une condition de déclenchement du D2DSS est satisfaite.
