A method and system of reducing average power consumption in a wireless communication
device (WCD) that operates in sleep and awake modes during monitoring of a slotted
paging channel includes the steps of providing a plurality of counters; establishing
a roll over point for each counter at a predetermined offset relative to each other
counter; identifying a timing, point for at least one roll over point; and transitioning
between the sleep and awake modes during the occurrence of an identified timing point.
