1. A method for conserving power in a subscriber unit in a wireless communication system, said method comprising the steps of:
- dividing a common channel into a plurality of recurring timeslots;
choosing an assigned timeslot from one of said plurality of recurring timeslots for transmission of messages to said subscriber unit;
reducing processing in said subscriber unit during at least one timeslot other than said assigned timeslot, thereby conserving power in said subscriber unit.

Abstract
A subscriber unit of a time division multiple access (TDMA) radiotelephone system is, from a power consumption standpoint, reconfigured in each time slot of a TDMA frame to a power consumption tessellation in which subscriber unit circuit components not needed for communication signal processing in that time slot are powered down, and other components are powered up.
