Abstract: A method for waking up user equipment in a cellular network includes waking up a receiver module at a predetermined wakeup time to receive a transmitted paging signal, when awake, determining prevailing conditions for receiving paging signals, and skipping at least a next possible wakeup time if at least one of the prevailing conditions exceeds an associated threshold level. A user equipment for use on a mobile communications network includes a reception quality determiner to determine at least one of a reception quality of a received signal and a radio frequency (RF) level of the signal, a paging indication processor to process received paging signals, a system message handler to determine a level of activity for a cellular network, and a conditional wakeup mechanism that is configured to set a next wakeup for the user equipment time responsively to an input from at least one of the reception quality determiner and the system message handler.

Abstract: A portion of a traffic channel message is detected and decoded to determine if a rapid handover procedure may be used. A first portion of the traffic channel includes information data and CRC data. The CRC data is decoded, and if the CRC determines the message is valid, the mobile station may proceed directly to handover.

Abstract: A method for managing and controlling a real-time system which is processing a variable complexity task in a predetermined period of time, the method comprising the steps of detecting the progress in processing the task is detected in real-time, determining if the system is likely to complete processing the task in the predetermined time period, increasing or decreasing the complexity of the task and the processing rate of the real-time system accordingly.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption of a receiver is provided. The receiver may have an identification number and may receive a portion of a hailing message in a non-sequential manner. The portion may comprise a segment of a hailed identification number. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the apparatus for reducing power consumption may comprise a comparator to compare between the segment of the hailed identification number to a respective segment of the identification number of the receiver.
