Abstract
A method for synchronization of a clock signal, which can be generated in a data receiving station, with a clock signal which is used in a data transmitting station. The synchronization is in each case carried out by evaluating a value and a time of received timemark data which represents a count that is dependent on the clock signal frequency in which the timemark data are transmitted to the data receiving station from the data transmitting station. The described method is distinguished by the fact that a parameter which characterizes the frequency of the clock signal of the data transmitting station is estimated in the data receiving station, at least partially taking into account the respective current timemark data and the previously received timemark data, and by the fact that a clock signal generator, which produces the clock signal to be synchronized, is triggered on the basis of the estimated value obtained in this way.
