AI summary

Disclosed are a method for transmitting and receiving a synchronization signal in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method for performing synchronization signal by transmitting and receiving a synchronization signal includes: receiving, from a base station, a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS); and performing synchronization by using the received PSS and the received SSS, in which a sequence for the SSS may be generated by a product between a first sequence and a second sequence and the number of first sequences may be configured to be larger than the number of second sequences.
