This application relates to a communication method and apparatus, and may be applied to the internet of vehicles, for example, V2X, LTE-V, and V2V, or may be used in fields such as intelligent driving and intelligent connected vehicles. A first resource is determined in a first resource set, and a jth synchronization signal block in N synchronization signal blocks is sent on a jth candidate resource in N candidate resources. The first resource set includes M groups, and an ith group in the M groups includes X candidate resources. M×X candidate resources included in the first resource set may be used to transmit a synchronization signal block. Each of the N synchronization signal blocks occupies Y symbols in time domain, where Y is an integer greater than or equal to 5. The first resource includes the N candidate resources, and the N candidate resources belong to one or more groups in the M groups.
