Abstract
A method and apparatus for detecting a periodic message in a mobile communication system includes initiating, at a receiver, a reception of synchronization data a predetermined amount of time prior to a current periodic message. The predetermined amount of time is based on at least one of an estimated signal quality value from at least one prior periodic message and an estimated error in the at least one prior periodic message. The synchronization data is used to achieve synchronization, and the current periodic message is detected based on the synchronization.
