Abstract

The invention relates to a technique for controlling a synchronization of a terminal device (10) with a wireless network, e.g. an LTE network, wherein data are transmitted as a continuous data signal on a radio interface (11, 12) while being processed block-wise in the terminal (10). A method embodiment of the technique for achieving at least a downlink (11) synchronization comprises establishing a time-address mapping (TAM, 36) indicative of an association of a reference time value of an internal clock (32) with a reference address in the reception data buffer (16); determining an address of data samples representing the received data block in the reception data buffer (16) based on the time-address mapping; and initiating a block-wise reading of the data block from the reception data buffer (16) based on the determined address.
