Abstract
A method of receiving a signal in bursts comprising frames each including payload data and error correction data received in separate time periods, the bursts being separated by time intervals during which power is saved by disabling at least some signal processing components of the receiver, Signal processing components of the receiver are disabled to save power before all the error correction data for all the frames in the burst is received.
Claims20
A method of comprising receiving a signal in bursts comprising:
- frames each including payload data and error correction data received in separate time periods, the bursts being separated by time intervals during which power is saved by disabling at least some signal processing components of the receiver;
- wherein signal processing components of the receiver are disabled to save power before all the error correction data for all the frames in the burst is received.
A receiver for receiving a signal in bursts comprising:
- frames each including payload data and error correction data received in separate time periods, the bursts being separated by time intervals, the receiver comprising signal processing components;
- and
- disabling means for disabling at least some of the signal processing components of the receiver during the time intervals between bursts, wherein the disabling means is arranged to disable signal processing components of the receiver to save power before all the error correction data for all the frames in the burst is received.
