METHOD FOR OPERATING A WIMAX FEMTOCELL BASE STATION AND FEMTOCELL BASE STATION

摘要

A method for operating a WiMAX femtocell base station, wherein said femtocell base station has an active operational mode, in which the radio interface subsystem of said femtocell base station is fully power supplied, is characterized in that a power saving mode with reduced radio interface activity is provided, wherein said femtocell base station is enabled to transit between said active operation mode and said power saving mode. Furthermore, a corresponding femtocell base station for deployment in a WiMAX network is disclosed.
