Method and apparatus for selective reading of system information in a mobile wireless device
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- in a mobile wireless communication device connected to a wireless communication network;
receiving a first transmission of a multiple segment message from the wireless communication network through a radio frequency receiver;
detecting at least one decoding error in at least one received segment of the first transmission;
powering down at least a portion of the radio frequency receiver during receive time intervals for a first subset of segments in a second transmission of the multiple segment message from the wireless communication network;
selectively receiving a second subset of segments in the second transmission of the multiple segment message; and
powering up at least the portion of the radio frequency receiver previously powered down prior to selectively receiving the second subset of segments in the second transmission of the multiple segment message;
wherein the first subset of segments in the second transmission corresponds to one or more segments in the first transmission received without decoding errors, and the second subset of segments in the second transmission corresponds to the at least one received segment in the first transmission received with decoding errors.

Abstract
A method to read selectively system information messages in a mobile wireless communication device. The mobile wireless device receives a first transmission of a multiple segment message through a radio frequency receiver. The mobile wireless device detects decoding errors in at least one of the received segments of the first transmission. In response to detecting decoding errors, the mobile wireless device selectively receives a first subset of segments in a second transmission of the multiple segment message. The mobile wireless device powers down at least a portion of the radio frequency receiver during receive time intervals for a second subset of segments in the second transmission. The first subset of segments in the second transmission corresponds to segments in the first transmission received with decoding errors. The second subset of segments in the second transmission corresponds to segments in the first transmission received without decoding errors.

7. A method, comprising:
-
in a mobile wireless communication device connected to a wireless communication network; receiving multiple repeated copies of a system information message transmitted by a radio network subsystem in the wireless communication network; assembling and decoding the system information message from multiple segments correctly received in the multiple repeated copies; and controlling a receiver, by a control processor in the mobile wireless communication device, to power up and receive segments of the system information message received incorrectly previously; wherein at least a portion of the receiver in the mobile wireless communication device powers down during time intervals in which one or more later copies, corresponding to segments received correctly in one or more earlier copies, of the system information message are transmitted. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A mobile wireless communication device, comprising:
-
a control processor, and a transceiver coupled to the control processor, the transceiver including a receiver configured to receive wireless transmissions from a radio network subsystem in a wireless communication network; wherein the mobile wireless communication device is configured to receive a system information message, the mobile wireless communication device comprising; logic configured to determine a first copy of the system information message contains changed values, wherein each copy of the system information message contains segments spaced apart in an identical pattern; logic configured to receive all segments of the first copy of the system information message; logic configured to detect an error in at least one received segment of the first copy of the system information message; logic configured to discard first segments of the first copy received with an error; logic configured to retain second segments of the first copy received without error; logic configured to receive one or more segments of subsequent copies of the system information message that correspond to the first segments of the first copy received with an error; and logic configured to assemble the system information message from the retained second segments of the first copy and the one or more received segments of subsequent copies. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium having at least one program to control a mobile wireless communication device connected to a radio access system in a wireless communication network stored thereon, the at least one program configured to, when executed, cause the mobile wireless communication device to:
-
receive a first transmission of a message comprising multiple segments from the wireless communication network through a radio frequency receiver; detect at least one decoding error in at least one segment received in the first transmission; power down at least a portion of the radio frequency receiver during receive time intervals for a first subset of segments in a second transmission of the message from the wireless communication network, the first subset of segments in the second transmission corresponding to segments in the first transmission received without decoding errors; selectively receive a second subset of segments in the second transmission of the message, the second subset of segments in the second transmission corresponding to segments in the first transmission received with decoding errors; and power up the portion of the radio frequency receiver previously powered down prior to reception of the second subset of segments in the second transmission of the message. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
