A system, method, and computer program product for reducing power consumption in remote communications, wherein a system transceiver transmits in a system transceiver message a count value and modulated communication data, and a remote transceiver polls for the count value indicative of a scheduled broadcast time for broadcast of the modulated communication data. The remote transceiver conserves power during a time period prior to the scheduled broadcast time and synchronizes an on-time of the remote transceiver with the scheduled broadcast time of the system transceiver. The remote transceiver conserves power both by polling rather than continuously listening and by entering a low-power sleep period for a time period prior to the scheduled broadcast time. |
