Abstract
An apparatus and a method for reducing power consumption in a mobile communication terminal are disclosed. According to the apparatus and the method, when a mobile communication terminal receives a paging channel in a sleep mode, an expiration time of a predetermined timer is retroacted (advanced) or delayed to a reception time of the paging channel within a range in which operations of the mobile communication terminal are not decisively influenced, so that the total number of times of activation of the mobile communication terminal can be reduced. Consequently, power consumption can be reduced.
