  • Methods and systems for reduced power operation of cellular mobile terminals
    Patent number: 5978366
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in a mobile terminal having a receiver for receiving a time multiplexed message distributed over a plurality of time slots by receiving a first subset of the plurality of time slots so as to receive a first portion of the time multiplexed message corresponding to the first subset of the plurality of time slots. The mobile terminal then determines from the first portion of the time multiplexed message if additional time slots of the time multiplexed message need to be received by the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal receives a second subset of the plurality of time slots so as to receive a second portion of the time multiplexed message if the mobile terminal determines from the first portion that additional portions of the time multiplexed message are to be received by the mobile terminal. This first portion of the message is preferably independently decodeable from the remainder of the message.
