Abstract

A receiver for a radio telephone is disclosed comprising receiving means for receiving signal comprising multi-stage encoded information. The receiver further comprises means for recognizing information from the multi-stage encoded information or first stage decoded information, and control means for enabling a quiescent mode for the receiver in accordance with a recognition result.

Claims

1. A receiver of a radio telephone, comprising:

receiving means for receiving a signal comprising

multi-stage encoded information;

means for comparing the multi-stage encoded information or first stage decoded information with predetermined information before said encoded information is fully decoded, and

control means for enabling a quiescent mode for the receiver in accordance with the result of the comparison.

2. A receiver according to claim 1, wherein the means for comparing the multi-stage encoded information comprises:

means for deriving information from the multi-stage encoded information or a first stage decoded information before said encoded information is fully decoded, and

means for comparing the derived information with the predetermined information, the quiescent mode being enabled in accordance with the comparison result.

3. A receiver according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined information is a bit pattern.

4. A receiver according to claim 3, wherein the deriving means derives information bit by bit.

5. A receiver according to claim 4, wherein the derived information comparing means compares the derived information bit by cumulative sequential bit with the predetermined bit pattern.

6. A receiver according to claim 1, wherein the first stage decoded information is obtained by de-scrambling the received signal.

7. A receiver according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined information is derived in accordance with a scrambling process, and the information is derivable from the received multi-stage encoded information signal.

8. A receiver according to claim 1, wherein the received signal is a paging control channel message.

9. A receiver according to claim 8, wherein the paging control channel message is indicative of a paging message being present in the received signal.

10. A receiver according to claim 8, wherein the paging control channel message is indicative of no paging messages being present in the received signal.

11. A method for receiving multi-stage encoded information signals for a radio telephone receiver, comprising the steps of:

upon receiving a multistage encoded information signal, comparing information from the multi-stage encoded information or first stage decoded information with predetermined information before said encoded information is fully decoded; and

enabling a quiescent mode for the receiver in accordance with a comparison result.

12. A method according to claim 11, wherein the step of comparing information comprises:

deriving information from the multi-stage encoded information or first stage decoded information before said encoded information is fully decoded, and

comparing the derived information with the predetermined information.

13. A method according to claim 12, wherein the predetermined information is a bit pattern.

14. A method according to claim 13, wherein information is derived bit by bit.

15. A method according to claim 14, wherein the derived information is compared bit by cumulative sequential bit with the predetermined bit pattern.

16. A method according to claim 11, wherein the fist stage decoded information is obtained by de-scrambling the received signal.

17. A method according to claim 12, wherein the predetermined information is derived in accordance with a scrambling process, and the information is derivable from the received multi-stage encoded information signal.

18. A method according to claim 11, wherein the received signal is a paging control channel message.

19. A method according to claim 18, wherein the paging control channel message is indicative of a paging messages being present in the received signal.

20. A method according to claim 18, wherein the paging control channel message is indicative of a paging message being present in the received signal.
