An energy-saving base station in a telecommunication system. The base station includes a transceiver, a control processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable memory for storing an algorithm for controlling an energy-saving mode. The transceiver is configured to transmit a series of frame-structured signals in a cell served by the base station, each signal having a frame structure comprising a data region and an overhead part carrying at least synchronization or system information. In a normal mode, the signals are separated by a normal interval. When the base station enters the energy-saving mode, an interval between a first frame-structured signal and a next second frame-structured signal is increased from the normal interval to a longer energy-saving interval. The base station interrupts transmission of one or more third frame-structured signals during the energy-saving interval, and then includes the data regions of the interrupted signals in the frame of the second frame-structured signal. |
