Abstract:
1. A method for reducing power consumption in a wireless device comprising: synchronizing the device with a wireless network so that the device may wake up at predetermined time intervals to determine whether the device has been identified for receipt of message data over the network; providing a message listing not having message data and comprising at least one destination identifier and an associated message pointer for a new incoming call, said at least one destination identifier being included in the message listing before the associated message pointer; detecting whether the message listing includes any destination identifiers that correspond to the device; entering into a sleep mode if the device fails to detect any destination identifier corresponding to the device in the message listing, and receiving the associated message pointer in the same message listing if the device detects any destination identifier corresponding to the device in the message listing; and receiving the message data indicated by the message pointer, whereby the device recognizes an existence of the incoming call only by reading a portion of the message listing.
