1. A method for reducing standby power consumption in a radio communication system, wherein said radiocommunication system has at least one base station serving one or more mobile stations, wherein said at least one base station transmits a message comprising repeated blocks of information bits, each block including a number of check bits having values dependent on data bits in said block:

  • receiving a first block of information within said message in a mobile station from said at least one base station;

    decoding said first block of information to produce decoded data;

    error checking said decoded data to generate a check indication when said data bits in said decoded first block of information are consistent with said check bits, and generating a no-check indication when said data bits in said decoded first block of information are inconsistent with said check bits; and

    reducing power applied to at least a receiver of said mobile station after said step of receiving, but before said step of decoding and said step of error checking.
