<p>A paging system using synchronized transmission protocol (82) and remote pagers active during monitor intervals to receive data transmitted during corresponding message intervals (86) is provided with adaptive on-off radio receiver control (84) for reducing monitor interval duration to conserve battery power and for centering message intervals within corresponding monitor intervals to increase message reliability. The adaptive on-off control is a function of a recent history of timing errors (94, 96) and thereby accounts for environmental conditions.</p> |
