Improvement is afforded in the recognition of wide-band data transmitted
in the form of a data sequence to a network element of an analog, cellular network,
notably a mobile radio set or a base station. The sequence includes a starting
synchronization (DOT1), a word synchronization (WS), a data word (REP1)
and number of repeats of a synchronization (DOT), a word synchronization (WS) and
the data word (REP 1-REP 11). The network element recognizes, from
received sequences, that a transmission of a sequence occurs when a starting synchronization
(DOT 1) has been recognized, or alternatively when one of the further synchronizations
(DOT) that is succeeded by a correct word synchronization (WS) has been recognized,
and evaluates the data words (REP 1-REP 11) received each time subsequent
to a recognized starting synchronization (DOT 1) that is succeeded by a
word synchronization (WS), or received subsequent to a recognized further synchronization
(DOT) that is succeeded by a correct word synchronization (WS).
