1. A method of decoding data comprising a plurality of data-bursts, comprising the steps of:
- i) receiving and demodulating a first one of the data-bursts;
ii) associating hypothesis data, representing an un-received data-burst or un-received data-bursts, with the received data burst or data-bursts, wherein the received data-burst or data-bursts is/are not processed by any comparison operation before being associated with the hypothesis data;
iii) attempting to decode data related to the received and demodulated data-burst or data-bursts with the associated hypothesis data; and
iv) if the decode is successful to power down the receiver, not receiving remaining data-bursts, and if the decode is unsuccessful receiving a further one of the data-bursts and repeating steps ii) to iv), until all of the data-bursts have been received.

11. A telecommunications receiver adapted to decode data transmitted as a plurality of data-bursts, the receiver arranged to:
-
i) receive a first one of the data-bursts; ii) associate hypothesis data, representing an un-received data-burst or un-received data-bursts, with the received data-burst or data-bursts, wherein the received data-burst or data-bursts is/are not processed by any comparison operation before being associated with the hypothesis data; iii) attempt to decode data related to the received data-burst or data-bursts with the associated hypothesis data; and iv) if the decode is successful to power down the receiver, not to receive remaining data-bursts, otherwise to receive a further data-burst and to repeat the attempt to decode the data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
