METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POWER SAVING OF FEMTO BASE STATION USING ANR FUNCTION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A femto base station using an automatic neighbor relation (ANR) function, comprising:
- a reception unit receiving signals from adjacent femto base stations; and
a control unit controlling the femto base station to be transitioned to an active mode when the femto base station receives a mode transition command from at least one of the adjacent femto base stations when the femto base station operates in a sleep mode.

Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for power saving of a femto base station operating as a CSG cell in a wireless communication system. A femto base station according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a reception unit receiving signals from adjacent second femto base stations; a transmission unit transmitting signals to second femto base stations, and a control unit controlling to be transitioned to an active mode when a mode transition command is received from at least one second femto base station while operating in a sleep mode, in a wireless communication system constituted by a plurality of femto base stations using automatic neighbor relation (ANR).

10. A method of controlling a femto base station operating as a closed subscriber group cell and to which only a terminal allowed to access is accessible, comprising:
-
determining whether or not the terminal exists in its own service coverage in a first femto base station; and transmitting mode transition information to adjacent second femto base stations and transitioning an active mode to a sleep mode when all the terminals do not exist in the service coverage on the basis of the determination result. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of controlling a femto base station, comprising:
-
allowing a first femto base station to transmit a mode transition command to a second femto base station which is operating in a sleep mode; when the second femto base station receives the mode transition command from the first femto base station, transitioning the second femto base station to an active mode; and allowing the second femto base station to transmit mode transition information to an adjacent femto base station. - View Dependent Claims (17)
