PURPOSE: A communication system, a method and a signal for time-slot-coded data transmission are provided which enable profitable synchronization of a time-slot-coded data signal. CONSTITUTION: A communication system with means for transmitting a data stream via a transmission medium by means of time slot coding, wherein a synchronization pattern is provided for insertion into the data stream, in which the synchronization pattern is selected such that it differs by a prescribable Hamming distance from all the valid data signals of the time slot coding independently of the respective time slot of the data signals, and that it differs by a prescribable Hamming distance from all time-shifted versions of the synchronization pattern. A communication system is characterized in that the prescribable Hamming distance is greater than or equal to 2 . A communication system is characterized in that a synchronization detector is provided for continuous comparison of the received data stream with the synchronization pattern, and wherein the synchronization detector is provided for generating a synchronization pulse when the Hamming distance between the received data stream and the synchronization pattern undershoots a prescribable threshold value.
