Adaptive Timing Synchronization for Reception for Bursty and Continuous Signals There is provided examples of receivers, controller units (e.g. for the receivers) and related methods (e.g. for the receivers). One receiver is provided which comprises: an adjustable sample provider (604) configured to provide samples of a input signal using an adjustable sample timing; a feedback path (630) configured to provide a feedback signal to the adjustable 0 sample provider (604) on the basis of a timing error (634), wherein the feedback path (630) comprises a lop filter (636) configured to provide sample timing information (638) to the adjustable sample provider (604); and a replacement value provider (640) configured to provide a replacement sample timing information (642) replacing the sample timing information (638) provided by the feedback path (630) when an input signal does not fulfil a predetermined 5 requirement for a feedback-based sample timing adaption, wherein the replacement value provider (640) is configured to provide the replacement sample timing information (642) considering a timing error information (634).
