Abstract
A radio communication system comprises a radio transmitter (), and a radio receiver () configured to receive radio transmissions from the transmitter. The transmitter () uses a transmitter clock signal to transmit a succession of connection-event data packets (') according to a predetermined schedule. The receiver () enters a sleep state between receiving successive connection-event data packets from the transmitter (), in which it does not receive and process radio transmissions from the transmitter. It uses a receiver clock signal to determine when a predetermined number of receiver clock cycles has elapsed after receiving one of the connection-event data packets (′), and then enters a ready state. The predetermined number of receiver clock cycles is the number of receiver clock cycles () that elapsed between the respective receipts of two of the connection-event data packets (′) received by the receiver () minus a correction factor ().
