Abstract
Abstract A radio receiver (100) having a receiver section (103) receives and processes an information signal to provide received information having an error factor that varies at least with respect to operational parameters of the receiver section (103). In the radio receiver (100), a method is embodied for adaptively controlling the operational parameters of the receiver section (103) to optimize the error factor of the received information. The method (400, 400', 400") comprises operating in a first receiver mode in response to a predetermined mode select parameter, correlating a first signal recovered from the received information to at least a portion of a first code word to establish a first error criteria, and operating in the first receiver mode while the first error criteria does not exceed a predetermined error criteria.
