Abstract
A technique for controlling power consumption in a wireless device detects data frames indicating a pause in the reception of speech frames from the wireless network. The mobile unit places the receiver circuitry in a low-power or sleep mode to thereby reduce processor cycles and save battery power. At the end of a time period, the receiver circuitry awakens to receive and process additional speech frames or to return to the low-power mode if no additional speech signals have been received.
