Wireless selective call receiver with reduced power consumption at times of abnormal reception

Abstract

In a wireless selective call receiver, a receiving section receives an interleaved data signal sequentially in units of bits. The interleaved data signal is generated by interleaving a data composed of a plurality of words. The receiving section deinterleaves the received data signal to produced a deinterleaved data signal corresponding to the plurality of words, and detects a message from the deinterleaved data signal. A control unit stops an operation of the receiving section not to perform when a number of words containing BCH error bits equal to or more than a first predetermined number exceeds a second predetermined number.
