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.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- receiving by a receiver having an identification number a first portion of a hailing message in a non-sequential manner, said first portion comprising a segment of a hailed identification number;
- comparing said segment to a respective segment of said identification number to detect mismatches therebetween;
- and
- terminating reception of said hailing message if the number of detected mismatches exceeds a predetermined number.
A method comprising:
- receiving at least a portion of a hailed identification number and channel coding information in a non-sequential manner, said information enabling correction of up to a predetermined number of errors in said hailed identification number.
An apparatus comprising:
- a controller coupled to a receiver having an identification number;
- and
- a comparator to compare segments of a hailed identification number to respective segments of said identification number and to detect mismatches therebetween,
- wherein said hailed identification number is provided to said receiver in portions of a hailing message in a non-sequential manner.
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver having an identification number, said receiver able to receive portions of a hailing message in a non-sequential manner, said portions comprising segments of a hailed identification number;
- and
- a comparator to compare said segments to respective segments of said identification number to detect mismatches therebetween.
An apparatus comprising:
- an antenna;
- a receiver having an identification number, said receiver able to receive from said antenna portions of a hailing message in a non-sequential manner, said portions comprising segments of a hailed identification number;
- and
- a comparator to compare said segments to respective segments of said identification number to detect mismatches therebetween.
An article comprising a storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a controller coupled to a receiver having an identification number result in:
- when said receiver has received a first portion of a hailing message in a non-sequential manner, said first portion comprising a segment of a hailed identification number, comparing said segment to a respective segment of said identification number to detect mismatches therebetween;
- and
- terminating reception of said hailing message if the number of detected mismatches exceeds a predetermined number.
