method and system for efficient monitoring of wireless broadcast network power

摘要

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EFFICIENT MONITORING IN WIRELESS BROADCAST NETWORK POWER. The invention relates to a mobile communication device that can receive wireless broadcast signals from several different base stations or transmitters. The device alternates its operation between a low power mode and a higher power mode in order to conserve the battery power. The length of time the device remains in standby mode is its waiting interval. The waiting interval is a function of two components. One component is set by the wireless broadcast network and the other component is set by the carrier that provides the mobile communication device. When the device wakes up from standby, it can check the condition of any notification messages. If there are any updates, then it will process them. If there are no updates, then it will return to low power mode.
