Prior to entry into a low-power sleep mode, a radiotelephone (104) in a radiotelephone system (100) calculates in advance the timing required to wake up selected portions of the radiotelephone and stores the calculated wakeup times in registers (216). Also prior to entry into sleep mode, local timing of the radiotelephone is synchronized to received PN roll boundaries from the radiotelephone system. In the sleep mode, the radiotelephone uses a sleep timer (210) to simulate system timing. When the sleep timer (210) matches the stored wakeup times, the radiotelephone re-activates the selected portions of the radiotelephone, such as an oscillator (116) and a radio frequency portion (109) of an analog front end (108), to exit the sleep mode and reacquire communication with the system. This also permits an early exit from sleep mode, for example to service an interrupt, while maintaining system timing. |
