A method by which a base station transmits a synchronization signal (SS) in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: generating an SS including a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS); and transmitting the synchronization signal. A portion of the synchronization signal is transmitted in a region of a time interval corresponding to the cyclic prefix (CP) of the synchronization signal, and the portion of the synchronization signal includes the PSS and/or the SSS.
