METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR TURNING OFF MACRO CARRIERS TO DEPLOY FEMTOCELLS

摘要

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for deploying at least one small-coverage base station in a coverage area. The method includes configuring the at least one small-coverage base station to operate on a given channel. The method includes detecting usage information of the at least one small-coverage base station on the given channel. The method includes adjusting an overall transmit power of at least one large-coverage base station in the coverage area based at least in part on the usage information.
