Typically a correlator is used to look for a known sequence of bits, so the radio can align the rest of the processing from the end of this known sequence. This is referred to as frame synchronization. You could use the correlation estimation block to implement something like this. It would place a tag on the stream when it finds your known sequence and you would then know how everything is aligned from then on.
