    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) and methods for device-to-device (D2D) communication are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the UE may determine a network reference timing based on a reception of a primary synchronization signal (PSS) from an Evolved Node-B (eNB). The UE may transmit a primary device-to-device synchronization signal (PD2DSS) to a second UE according to the determined network reference timing. The PD2DSS may be configured to enable synchronization for a device-to-device (D2D) communication session between the UE and the second UE. In some embodiments, the PD2DSS may be based on multiple PD2DSS symbol sequences, which may be different than PSS symbol sequences used for the PSS. In some embodiments, different Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequences may be used for the PD2DSS and for the PSS.
