METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POWER SAVING OF CSG FEMTO BASE STATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Provided are a method and an apparatus for power saving of a CSG femto base station in a wireless communication system. A method of controlling a femto base station according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a macro base station to which the femto base station belongs to verify whether or not terminals registered in the femto base station exist in a service coverage of the macro base station, verifying an operation mode of the femto base station if at least one of the registered terminals exists in the service coverage of the macro base station on the basis of the verification result; and allowing the macro base station to direct the switching to an active mode to the femto base station when the femto base station operates in a sleep mode on the basis of the verification result.
