Method and device for synchronizing a mobile radio receiver with a frame structure of a radio signal

A method for synchronizing a mobile radio receiver with a frame structure of a radio signal received from a specific base station assumes that each base station transmits a predefined, individual sequence of frame synchronization codes for each frame. The synchronization codes are detected and decoded in the mobile radio receiver and a characteristic code parameter is allocated to them. The sequence transmitted by the specific base station is identified on the basis of the code parameters and the start and end times of the sequence are defined. The mobile radio receiver is frame-synchronized with these times.
