ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing power consumption in a selective call receiver includes the steps of first receiving a paging signal that includes a preamble and a plurality of batches, each of the batches having a synchronization codeword and a plurality of frames including at least an address information, detecting a skip code within one of the batches, skipping a predetermined number of batches without decoding any address information contained therein in response to the skip code, and decoding the address information of a one of the batches next subsequent to the predetermined number of batches. The skip code can be encoded in a portion of the signal, such as the synchronization codeword of the one of the batches, the address information of the one of the batches, and a selected frame of the one of the batches. The predetermined number can be contained in either of a codeplug in the selective call receiver or the signal portion containing the skip code.
