Abstract

See full text

A method for searching for a station carrying paging data without unduly draining the paging receiver battery. If a station to which the receiver is presently tuned becomes unreliable, the pager scans among channels listed in a local channel list. If no paging data is received on these channels, the scanning among the local list channels may optionally proceed for a further interval at a slower rate. After it appears that paging data will not be found on channels listed in the local list, the pager begins a full spectrum search at a slow rate until it again finds a channel carrying paging data. By this arrangement, battery power is expended at a rate roughly in accordance with the likelihood of finding a paging station.
