Synchronization topics include: Receiver synchronization and network synchronization concepts.

In digital communication systems, synchronization is the process of controlling events to occur in an order that achieves reliable function. 

Here are some types of synchronization in digital communication:
Symbol synchronization: Determines the starting time of the incoming signal. This is needed to ensure subsequent correlation processing starts/stops at the correct time.
Synchronous transfer: Data is generated at a constant rate using a shared periodic clock. The data and control signals are generated relative to the clock edge.
Carrier synchronization: Estimates and compensates for the carrier frequency and phase differences between the transmitted signal and the corresponding received signal.
Bit-synchronous operation: Data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE), data terminal equipment (DTE), and transmitting circuits are all operated in bit synchronism with a clock signal.
Frequency synchronization: Required for digital communication systems using noncoherent modulation.
Phase synchronization: Required for digital communication systems using coherent modulation.
Symbol synchronization: Required in every digital communication system which transmits information synchronously.
