Abstract
A selective call receiver (100) uses a method of partial address correlation to decode a portion of a selective call signal transmitted by a radio communication system so as to reduce energy consumption of the selective call receiver (100). The selective call receiver (100) is programmed to receive the portion of the selective call signal from the radio communication system, determine a first probable energy E.sub.1 that would be dissipated by the selective call receiver if it were to use partial address correlation, and compare the first probable energy E.sub.1 to a second probable energy E.sub.2 that would be dissipated by the selective call receiver if it did not use partial address correlation. If E.sub.1 is less than E.sub.2, then partial address correlation is used.
