  • Extended sleep mode method and apparatus
    Patent number: 6223047
    Abstract: A power saving standby mode reduces the consumption of power in a radiocommunication system in which a base station transmits a message comprising repeated data words. Upon receiving a first word of the message, the power supplied to at least a receiver unit in the mobile phone is powered down. Decoding, CRC checking and MIN comparison of the received message are performed after the receiver unit has powered down. The early power down procedure reduces the consumption of power in the mobile phone.
