Abstract/Summary

Burst timing synchronisation is maintained in a digital data decoder during multiple burst reception in a TDMA system. The data within a multiple burst are streamed into memory storage and data corresponding to a first burst in the series of bursts are selected on the basis of a current timing estimate derived from a synchronisation burst. Selections of data corresponding to other bursts in the series of bursts are modified in accordance with updated timing estimates derived from previously processed bursts.
