Abstract
A technique for controlling a receiver to enter a micro sleep mode during which at least one receiver component is temporarily switched off is described. The receiver is configured to process sub-frames each having a first sub-frame portion followed by a second sub-frame portion, the first sub-frame portion carrying information indicative of whether or not the second sub-frame portion needs to be decoded. A method implementation of this technique comprises the steps of providing a regular micro sleep mode in which the receiver component is switched off after the first sub-frame portion has been decoded in case the decoding indicates that the second sub-frame portion does not need to be decoded, providing an extended micro sleep mode in which the receiver component is switched off immediately after the first sub-frame portion has been received, evaluating a mode setting criterion, and controlling the receiver to enter the regular micro sleep mode or the extended micro sleep mode depending on the mode setting criterion.
