PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wireless terminal for use with a multi-mode base station that supports a transmit standby mode and an active mode.SOLUTION: A transmit standby mode of base station operation is a low power/low interference level of operation compared to an active mode. In the transmit standby mode, at least some of synchronization signaling such as pilot tone signaling is reduced in a power level and/or rate with respect to the active mode. Mode transitions from active to transmit standby are responsive to a detected period of inactivity, scheduling information, base station mode change signals, and/or detected wireless terminal state transitions. Mode transitions from transmit standby to active are responsive to scheduling information, access signals, wake-up signals from a wireless terminal, hand-off signals, etc. |
