The present disclosure relates to a method used in a radio node, and an associated radio node. The radio node is served by a superior radio node and serves one or more subordinate radio nodes. The method includes: receiving a first synchronization signal from the superior radio node; obtaining a first downlink transmission time position for the first synchronization signal; determining a second downlink transmission time position for a second synchronization signal to be transmitted by the radio node, based on the first downlink transmission time position; and transmitting the second synchronization signal via the second downlink transmission time position to the one or more subordinate radio nodes.
