Abstract: The system enables the battery power to be conserved when there is no received speech signal. The circuit for reception of speech signals in a mobile telephone (1) operates with speech signals which are distributed in time windows situated in successive frames. The process includes the reception of the first speech signals corresponding to a first time window. This is followed by measurement of quality information relating to the received speech signals and comparing this with a first threshold. The mobile telephone is then configured to receive, or not receive, the second speech signal corresponding to a second time window as a function of this comparison.

Abstract: A method for reducing the number of required frequency and time hypotheses to acquire an access transmission in a satellite communication system. By reducing the number of required hypotheses, the amount of hardware required to acquire the access transmission is reduced. The method of the present invention reduces the number of required hypotheses by reducing the range of possible frequency and timing values of the access transmission. The range of possible frequency and timing values is reduced by determining the frequency and time uncertainties over individual satellite beams rather than over an entire satellite footprint.
