Abstract
A method for achieving synchronization between a transmit unit and at least one receive unit of a communications system with multi-carrier signal transmission via a transmit channel includes generating a synchronization symbol using predefined carrier frequencies, modulating the generated synchronization symbol with a predefined synchronization sequence via a transmitter to generate a synchronization signal, emitting the generated synchronization signal by the transmitter with a predefinable repetition period, the synchronization signal being utilized for transmission of an item of transmit-specific status information, receiving a signal by a receiver following transmission via the transmit channel, the received signal being formed by the emitted generated synchronization signal and transmitted repeatedly with the predefinable repetition period, and detecting and evaluating, by the receiver, the received signal via a detection algorithm, the detection algorithm determining a period of the received signal as the synchronization instant at which the synchronization signal is almost certainly present.
