This research reviews synchronization standards and techniques for D2D-enabled cellular networks, and discusses different scenarios and the evolution of cellular networks. The paper focuses on the signals, channels, and entities used for synchronization in D2D networks in various scenarios, as well as synchronization techniques in vehicular communications.
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is introduced for cellular networks allowing User Equipments (UEs) to communicate directly in close physical proximity. In traditional cellular networks, time synchronization is performed by the network infrastructure equipment to address the challenges of coordinating independent clocks and tasks of UEs to communicate with each other. These challenges are more critical in D2D as the network has no central point to coordinate UEs. The aim of this paper is twofold: (i) reviewing synchronization standards and techniques for D2D-enabled cellular networks and (ii) discussing different scenarios and contemporary cellular network generations. We review the main signals, channels, and entities used by D2D-enabled cellular networks for synchronization procedures in different scenarios. Moreover, we focus on the synchronization in Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X). Finally, we conduct a literature study on effective proposed synchronization techniques in D2D and vehicular communications to highlight recent advances and provide future directions.
