Abstract

Abstract A paging receiver receives a message data including an overhead and a body data. The paging receiver has a first memory with multiple memory slots for holding the body data from multiple message data, and a second memory for holding information about the current storage methods for memory slots of the first memory. The overhead of the message data specifies a memory slot number for storing the body data, and also specifies a method of storing the body data, which may be storage by replacement of current contents, storage by combination with current contents, etc. A controller of the paging receiver selects the storage method from the second memory if the overhead does not specify the method of storing the body data, but uses the method specified in the overhead when present. The body data of the message data is placed in the specified slot of the first memory using the method selected by the controller.
