In a communication system (100) for decoding a quick paging channel (QPCH), a receiver (200) determines a channel condition of a pilot channel received at a mobile station (102-104). A control system (210, 401) determines receive diversity at the receiver (200) by determining a number of a plurality of receiver chains (290) in the receiver (200) for receive diversity based on the determined channel condition. The receiver (200) determines a first data bit of the QPCH in accordance with processing of one or more signals produced based on the determined receive diversity. The control system (210, 401) is configured for reducing the number of selected receiver chains (290) when the determined channel condition is above a first channel condition threshold (601) and increasing the number of selected receiver chains (290) when the determined channel condition is below a second channel condition threshold (602).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for use in a communication system, the apparatus comprising:a receiver, including a plurality of receiver chains adapted for processing in the receiver, for receiving a pilot channel and determining a channel condition of said pilot channel; anda control system for controlling receive diversity and power consumption of said receiver by selecting a number of said plurality of receiver chains based on said determined channel condition;wherein:said control system is configured for reducing said number of selected receiver chains when said determined channel condition is above a first channel condition threshold,said control system is configured for increasing said number of selected receiver chains when said determined channel condition is below a second channel condition threshold,said first channel condition threshold corresponds to a stronger channel condition than a channel condition corresponding to said second channel condition threshold, andsaid control system is configured for adjusting a delta threshold corresponding to a difference between said first and second channel condition thresholds based on a mobility level of said receiver in said communication system.
