Abstract
Methods and apparatus are presented to reduce the amount of processing required by a remote station to successfully decode the Common Control Channel (CCCH). During periods when a remote station does not implement any update requests, CCCH messages are discarded. During periods when a remote station implements update requests, CCCH messages are fully processed. The selective processing of CCCH messages produces a corresponding savings in power consumption.
