Abstract
A power management system for a mobile station reduces standby mode processing by receiving and processing single time slots of a short paging channel. Each single time slot of a short paging channel includes a mobile station identifier which alerts a receiving mobile station that a pending telephone call or paging message may be directed to the mobile station. Once so alerted, the mobile station receives and processes full paging channels comprising four time slots to determine whether the mobile station is the intended recipient of the telephone call or paging message. If the mobile station determines that it is not the intended recipient, then the mobile station resumes receiving and processing single time slots of the short page channel. Processing fewer time slots of data for purposes of call detection conserves mobile station battery power.
