[Object] To simplify the operation of a terminal device for performing D2D communication in which the same communication scheme as the communication scheme of cellular communication is adopted.
[Solution] Provided is a terminal device including: a detection unit configured to detect a synchronization signal for wireless communication with a base station; and a control unit configured to control transmission of a synchronization signal for inter-device communication. A radio frame used in the wireless communication with the base station and a radio frame used in the inter-device communication have a same frame structure. A timing of the synchronization signal for the inter-device communication in the same frame structure is same as a timing of the synchronization signal for the wireless communication with the base station in the same frame structure.
