Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing power consumption of a mobile communication terminal operated at a slotted mode in a spread spectrum communication system such as a CDMA cellular mobile communication system. The mobile communication terminal reduces a paging channel monitoring time by entering a sleep mode or a wake-up mode at an arbitrary timing instead of a PN code rollover period, resulting in the increment of a standby time of the terminal.
