A synchronization method is disclosed, including: obtaining a synchronization symbol position {circumflex over (d)}0 of one time slot of an initial update period; taking Ntrack frames as an update period to adjust the synchronization symbol position, and the step of adjusting the synchronization symbol position including: obtaining a synchronization symbol position {circumflex over ({circumflex over (d)}k+1=dk+Ntrack{circumflex over (T)}k of a corresponding time slot of a (k+1)th update period according to a synchronization symbol position {circumflex over (d)}k of a corresponding time slot of a kth update period and an inter-frame sampling derivation estimation value {circumflex over (T)}k of said kth update period; obtaining synchronization symbol positions of other time slots in said kth update period according to the synchronization symbol position {circumflex over (d)}k of the corresponding time slot of the kth update period and the inter-frame sampling derivation estimation value {circumflex over (T)}k of said kth update period. A synchronization apparatus is also disclosed. The method and apparatus reduces synchronization calculation amount.
