In a cellular communication network, a method of dynamic mobility management in which a base station employing cell-breathing or other similar energy-efficiency mechanism notifies User Equipments (UEs) in its cell, either via broadcasting or with direct over-the-air signaling, that such a mechanism is utilized within the cell. The base station may also notify neighbor base stations of its use of cell-breathing. The neighbor base stations disseminate this information to UEs within their own cells, and consider this information when deciding whether to hand over a UE to a base station that is capable of performing cell-breathing. The base station may also inform UEs in the cell and/or neighbor base stations when it is preparing to reduce transmission power. UEs store information regarding which base stations use cell-breathing, and consider this information when performing cell reselections. |
