摘要:
A wireless communication device (32) within a wireless on-call communication system (10) includes a device receiver (92) for receiving an on-call message (36), a device processor (98) coupled to the device receiver (92) for processing the on-call message (36); a device memory (100) coupled to the device processor (98) for storing the on-call message (36); and an on-call application (108) coupled to the device processor (98) having an on-call schedule (80) for defining an active time period (126) and an inactive time period (128). The device processor (98) processes the on-call message (36) during the active time period (126) and discards the on-call message (36) during the inactive time period (128).
