| 发明名称 | Managing energy consumption of base stations | ||
| 摘要 | A base station includes an emulation controller (20) configured to receive signals indicating that another base station in an active mode managing a cell, having a predetermined cell identity and coverage area, will go into an idle mode and no longer manage the cell, and to determine terminal activity in the cell. A baseband processing unit (18) is connected to the emulation controller (20) and configured to emulate the active mode of the other base station by taking over management of the cell, in at least part of its coverage area, using the same cell identity. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method of operating a base station, comprising: receiving signals indicating that another base station will transition from an active mode in which that base station manages a cell, to an idle mode in which that base station no longer manages the cell, wherein the cell has a coverage area and a predetermined cell identity; determining information about terminal activity in the cell; and emulating the active mode of the other base station by taking over management of the cell, in at least part of its coverage area, using the predetermined cell identity, wherein said taking over includes the base station transmitting, using the predetermined cell identity, information that the other base station previously transmitted in the active mode but no longer transmits in the idle mode. | ||
