(54) Communication system and method of operation


(57) A communication system (10) configured to communicate receiver-specific information (26) from a transmitter (18) to a plurality of receivers (12). Each of the receivers (12) is assigned to one of a plurality of groups based on a group identification value stored in each receiver (12). A first receiver group (12A) is configured to operate during a first information-expected time interval (34A). The first information-expected time interval (34A) is determined based on a reception time (36) of a time-reference signal (24) and a first group identification value (42A). A second receiver group (12B) is configured to operate during a second information-expected time interval (34B) distinct from the first information-expected time interval (34A). The second information-expected time interval (34B) is determined based on the reception time (36) of the time-reference signal (24) and a second group identification value (42B).
