Patent ID: 8630216

Claim:
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.
