摘要

The present invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for configuring a communication system that supports the discontinuous operation of a base station. A method for controlling the operation of a base station in a wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: checking whether or not a permitted mobile equipment exists in the coverage area of the base station and in all the coverage areas of neighboring base stations of said base station; and controlling the base station to operate in a first discontinuous mode by a predetermined cycle if said permitted mobile equipment does not exist in the coverage area of the base station and in all of the coverage areas of the neighboring base stations.
