The world's pager market shows rapid growth. People want their pagers to be able to receive more information. To accommodate these demands, the FLEX-TD high-speed radio paging system was developed and standardized in Japan as an enhanced new generation high capacity paging system.

This paper focuses on the TD reception schemes employed and discusses their performance.
