<p>An adaptive battery saving controller (412, 422) for a battery powered communication receiver utilizes a signal quality detector (404) for detecting strong signal and weak signal conditions. During strong signal conditions, the adaptive battery saving controller (412, 422) is capable of suspending the supply of power to the receiver (402) during the reception of message code words not intended for the communication receiver. The adaptive battery saving controller (412, 422) is also capable of suspending the supply of power to the receiver (402) following substantially upon the detection of a hard address error. During weak signal conditions, the adaptive battery saving controller (412, 422) reverts to conventional battery saving techniques.</p> |
