FIELD: engineering of wireless communication devices, which interact with communication system with code division based multi-access (CDMA).
SUBSTANCE: in accordance to the invention, wireless communication device operates in standby mode, in which it transitions between inactive state for saving power and active state for receiving one or more paging signals. Wireless communication device attempts a repeated capture of first pilot-signal, connected to first paging signal, which was demodulated previously, and second pilot-signal, which was previously tracked. Wireless communication device performs switching from first paging signal to second paging signal, connected to second pilot-signal, when an attempt of repeated capture of first pilot-signal failed, and an attempt of repeated capture of second pilot-signal succeeded.
EFFECT: ensured seamless paging coverage by wireless communication device which operates in paging mode, with simultaneous reduction of energy consumption in wireless communication device.
