More Information
Summary:A mobile communication device ( 100 ) includes a receiver ( 102 ) which is normally shut off when the mobile communication device is idle. Upon the arrival of a paging time slot to which the mobile communication device is assigned, the mobile communication device turns on the receiver and begins receiving a composite signal including frequency diverse subchannels. The mobile communication device measures the delay spread of the subchannels ( 406 ). The receiver then adjusts the receiver on time for the next time slot based on the delay spread of the present time slot.
