Abstract
A communication receiver (106) receives an address code word (1800) of a transmitted message, the message comprising the address code word (1800) and an associated data portion (1610), the address code word comprising an address portion (1802,1804). The communication receiver (106) corrects (2104) up to a predetermined number of bit errors in the received address code word (1800). The communication receiver (106) can conserve power following a failed correction of the address code word (1800). Alternatively, the communication receiver (106) compares (2108,2111) the address portion (1802,1804) of the corrected address code word (1800) to at least one predetermined subscription address (1704,1706). The communication receiver (106) can conserve power following a determination of no match (2110,2114,2308) between the address portion (1802,1804) of the corrected address code word (1800) and the at least one predetermined subscription address (1704,1706).
