TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK RECEIVER

The receiver (EMP) according to the invention is characterized, in particular, in that it comprises a control unit (CTRL) by means of which the power consumption of individual modules (1', 2', 3', 4', 5', 6', 7', 8') of the receiver (EMP) is reduced as required or can be adjusted to a specified value. In a power-saving mode, only certain modules (1', 2', 3', 4', 5', 6', 7', 8') of the receiver (EMP) which are necessary for detecting a specified identifier are supplied with power only for certain time intervals in order to monitor the received data stream in said time intervals. If the receiver (EMP) detects a specified identifier in a specified segment, it switches to normal operation in order also to supply the remaining modules with power and to receive receiver-specific data. In the time intervals between the specified time intervals, all the modules (1', 2', 3', 4', 5', 6', 7', 8') are, for example, without operating voltage in the power-saving mode.
