Abstract
System and method for wirelessly communicating between a base station and a mobile device. The base station wirelessly sends a first one or more overhead messages to the mobile device. The first one or more overhead messages may include at least one parameter. The mobile device may wirelessly receive the first one or more overhead messages from the base station, including the at least one parameter. The base station may wirelessly send a second one or more messages to the mobile device according to a schedule based on the at least one parameter. The mobile device may wirelessly receive the second one or more messages according to the schedule based on the at least one parameter. The mobile device may schedule a sleep cycle based on the at least one parameter, which may reduce battery consumption in the mobile device. The second one or more messages may be sent less frequently than the first one or more overhead messages.
