A method and apparatus can communicate synchronization signals. A first Synchronization Signal (SS) associated with a first Identity (ID) can be received. A first SS sequence for the first SS can be defined by at least an element-wise multiplication of a first cyclically shifted sequence with a second cyclically shifted sequence. The first cyclically shifted sequence can be a first base sequence cyclically shifted with a first cyclic shift value. The second cyclically shifted sequence can be a second base sequence cyclically shifted with a second cyclic shift value. A second SS associated with a second ID can be received. A second SS sequence for the second SS can be defined by at least an element-wise multiplication of a third cyclically shifted sequence with a fourth cyclically shifted sequence. The third cyclically shifted sequence can be the first base sequence cyclically shifted with a third cyclic shift value. The fourth cyclically shifted sequence can be the second base sequence cyclically shifted with a fourth cyclic shift value. The first ID and second ID can be determined to be the same in response to the first cyclic shift value and the third cyclic shift value being same and the second cyclic shift value and the fourth cyclic shift value being different.
