Abstract
A method for battery saving in a battery powered radio communication device having a receiver for receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal comprises the step of enabling (100) the receiver for reception of the RF signal. The method further comprises the steps of determining (120) that the RF signal is being received at an off-signal data rate different from an on-signal data rate at which data is normally provided to the battery powered radio communication device and disabling (130) the receiver in response to determining that the RF signal is being received at the off-signal data rate.
