Abstract
Abstract A mobile radio station is disclosed having a device for synchronization with data streams transmitted over radio channels by base stations of a cellular mobile radio network. After an erroneous attempt at synchronization with a radio channel that has a receiving level, another attempt at synchronization with the radio channel is made after a delay. The delay depends on the receiving levels of different radio channels, the number of erroneous synchronization attempts, the number of radio channels with which the mobile radio station has already been synchronized, or the velocity of the mobile radio station. A new delay may also be obtained based on the old delay and the last two receiving levels.
