Power conservation in a mobile communication device utilizing variable reacquisition time in a discontinuous reception regime

Architecture that facilitates power conservation in a mobile communications device, the mobile communications device comprising:

• an acquire component for acquiring a transmitted signal;
• a storage component for storing predetermined reacquisition time data;
• and
• a control component for determining active window data associated with the transmitted signal, the control component periodically activating the mobile communications device from a partially powered down state in accordance with the reacquisition time data associated with the active window data, and reacquiring the transmitted signal.

Architecture that facilitates power conservation in a mobile communications device, the mobile communications device comprising:

• an acquire component for acquiring a plurality of transmitted signals;
• a storage component for storing a plurality of predetermined reacquisition time data;
• and
• a control component for determining active window data associated with each of the acquired transmitted signals, the control component periodically activating the mobile communications device from a partially powered down state in accordance with corresponding reacquisition time data associated with the active window data of respective transmitted signals, and reacquiring the respective transmitted signals.

A method of conserving power in a mobile communications CDMA device operating in discontinuous reception mode, comprising:

• storing a plurality of reacquisition times in the mobile communications device, each of the reacquisition times stored in association with a time component;
• acquiring one or more transmitted signals;
• and
• periodically activating a portion of the mobile communications device in accordance with the time component of the acquired transmitted signal, the time component varying among the one or more transmitted signals acquired by the mobile communications device.
