PROCEDURES FOR ESTABLISHING A RECEIPT TIME AT THE RECEIPT TIME OF A SENTENCE MARK CONTAINED IN RECEIVED DATA ELEMENTS

摘要

The invention concerns a method of determining a receiver time at the moment of reception of a transmisison time mark in received data elements, the method comprising the following steps: storage of a plurality of data elements received in succession; storage of a receiver time corresponding to a data element reception moment; searching of the stored data elements for a transmisison time mark; and determining the receiver time corresponding to the reception moment of the transmisison time mark by means of the stored reception time(s). The method is characterized in that only the receiver time corresponding to the reception moment of a single data element is stored for a given or indeterminate number of stored data elements; and in that the receiver time corresponding to the reception moment of the transmission time mark is determined by extrapolation or interpolation on the basis of the stored receiver time(s).
