A method and apparatus for controlling a radio receiver circuit are disclosed. The radio receiver circuit is adapted to receive data over a communication channel, over which data is transmitted in transmission time intervals, each comprising at least one time slot. Data transmitted in one or more such time slots comprises a control sequence selected from a finite predefined set of control sequences. The method comprises determining correlation values between a received control sequence of said one or more time slots of a transmission time interval and each of the defined control sequences. Furthermore, the method comprises determining, based on said correlation values, whether any data is transmitted in the transmission time interval, and, in response to determining that no data is transmitted in the transmission time interval, disabling at least part of the radio receiver circuit during at least part of the remainder of the interval, for saving power. |
