Method and apparatus for controlling operation of an access terminal in a communication system

摘要: A novel and improved method apparatus provide for controlling an operation of access terminal while processing a signal from point in communication system. Various aspects the invention to disable handoff process when its demodulator or decoder is operating demodulate decode control message received point. The controlled manner that prevents terminating prematurely demodulation decoding by process. As result, may continue normal wake up/ sleep cycle period conserving battery power.
