Abstract

A digital radio paging communication system has a transmitter and a plurality of receivers. The receivers are energized intermittently to save battery power. The transmitter generates a preamble signal, a synchronization signal, a plurality of calling signals and a stabilization signal, which are arranged into a sequence of signals including two of the preamble signals separated by a measured time interval and at least one batch signal including the synchronization signal and the plurality of calling signals which are divided into a plurality of groups. Each group of calling signals have a stabilization signal at the leading portion thereof followed by a receiver identifying code. A carrier wave is modulated with the sequence of signals and then transmitted. Each of the receivers receives and demodulates the carrier wave. Responsive to the receipt of a first preamble signal, the receiver switches from intermittent to continuous power at an intermediate stand-by level. If a second preamble signal is received within a predetermined time period, the receiver switches to full power. From there, it either receives its own code and gives a paging signal or it times out. Either way, it re…
