Application No. 08/724,568
Claims 1 and 13 are illustrative of the claimed
invention, and they read as follows:
1. In a selective call unit that receives a
sequence of interspersed message fragments transmitted by
a messaging system, a method for optimizing memory
utilization of the selective call unit, the method
comprising in the selective call unit the steps of:
receiving a message length command from the
messaging system indicating a total message length of a
message, said message including a plurality of
interspersed message fragments, pending transmission from
the messaging system;
determining whether there is sufficient memory
available in the selective call unit according to the
message length command;
reserving memory space equivalent to the total
message length for receiving the message when the total
message length is equal to or less than available memory
space; and
disallowing reception of the message when the total
message length is greater than available memory space.
13. In a messaging system having a transmitter for
transmitting to a selective call unit a sequence of
interspersed message fragments, a method for optimizing
memory utilization of the selective call unit, the method
comprising in the messaging system the steps of:
receiving a plurality of messages from at least one
caller communicating with the messaging system, the
plurality of messages pending transmission to the
selective call unit;
determining a plurality of message length commands
each indicative of a message length of a corresponding
