We present a strategy for multipulse control over decoherence. When a two-level system interacts with a reservoir characterized by a specific frequency, we find that the decoherence is effectively suppressed by synchronizing the pulse-train application with the dynamical motion of the reservoir. We discuss the applicability of this strategy by studying the dependence of the decoherence suppression on the shape of the coupling spectral density. We find that the effectiveness of this strategy arises from the non-Markovian nature of dynamical motion of the reservoir.
