REDUCED PERFORMANCE MODE WHEN RECEIVING A COMMON CONTROL CHANNEL

摘要

A common control channel is monitored with a first and a second receiver. A target quality is determined for that channel, which may be signaled from a network. A quality parameter for the channel is determined from the first and second receivers, and compared to the target quality (directly or indirectly). Responsive to the comparing, one of the receivers is then operated in a reduced performance mode which consumes less power, for which several examples are disclosed. The comparison for switching from full to reduced and back to full may use different thresholds, which may be dynamically adjusted autonomous of the network to maintain the target quality. The common control channel may be one with which a broadcast traffic channel is associated. Methods, apparatus and computer programs embodied on a memory are detailed.
