digital clock recovery (synchronization) CDMA

Does anyone have an idea about digital clock recovery (synchronization) in a CDMA wired link?The synchronization uses only the data from the transmitter not its clock...any proposed implementation?

Clock recovery isn't particularly related to CDMA, but it has to be performed with many serial communication protocols, thus it's a very common problem.

Used techniques are different, depending on the transmission speed, serial protocol and tolerable clock frequency difference. Generally, PLLs are uitilized in most cases, either analog or digital variants. Altera Gigabit transceiver e.g. have dedicated clock recovery hardware.
