Patent ID: 6901267

Claim:
A network element of an analog, cellular network, notably a mobile radio set or a base station, including receiving means for receiving a wide-band data sequence that is composed of a starting synchronization (DOT 1 ), a word synchronization (WS), a data word (REP 1 ) and a fixed number of repeats of a further synchronization (DOT), a word synchronization (WS) and the data word (REP 2 -REP 11 ), as well as evaluation means for recognizing that a transmission of a data sequence takes place when a starting synchronization (DOT 1 ) has been recognized or alternatively one of the further synchronizations (DOT), succeeded by a correct word synchronization (WS), has been recognized, and for evaluating data words (REP 1 -REP 11 ) received each time subsequent to a recognized starting synchronization (DOT 1 ) that is succeeded by a word synchronization (WS), or received subsequent to a recognized further synchronization (DOT) that is succeeded by a correct word synchronization (WS).
