<p>A method for deactivating a first node in a communication network' includes determining, in a first tiirte period, a number (A) of active mobile UE devices in a first network cell; determining a number i'B) of static UE devices in the first network cell; and determining a number (C) of requests for direct D2D communication from UE devices in the first network cell. The method includes estimating a number of active UE devices in the first network cell for a second time period, based on one or more of A,.8, and C and determining whether the estimated number of active UE devices is less than a threshold. If so, the method includes transmitting a 'request to a second node to take over communication with one or more of the UE devices. If the request is accepted by the second node, the first node is deactivated.</p> |
