A method for receiving and processing a RF paging signal in a POCSAG code format in a paging receiver having a battery saver function. A paging receiver detects a preamble code, a word synchronization code and subsequent address code of each batch of a received RF paging signal. If an error occurs in the word synchronization code of a next batch, instead of searching for a word synchronization code of the next batch as is disclosed in a conventional paging receiver, a BCH decoding algorithm is used to decode subsequent address code words of the next batch. Thus, if a non-error code word is detected in the code words, the word synchronization code in which an error occurs previously is recognized as the normal word synchronization code and subsequent address code word is searched for. Consequently, even if the word synchronization code in a next batch is missing, at the normal batch construction, the missing word synchronization code can be compensated by the subsequent address code word. |
