Abstract
A synchronization method including: receiving, by a terminal, a system message on a first downlink carrier, where the system message includes first indication information and second indication information, the first indication information indicates a frequency domain range of a first uplink carrier, the second indication information indicates a frequency domain range of a second downlink carrier, and a frequency of the first uplink carrier is presynchronized with a frequency of the second downlink carrier; and receiving, by the terminal, a synchronization signal on the second downlink carrier, to implement frequency synchronization with the first uplink carrier. According to the synchronization method in NR-LTE co-existence, a terminal can implement frequency synchronization with an LTE uplink carrier, so that the terminal can perform uplink transmission by using a frequency domain resource in the LTE uplink carrier.
