Method and apparatus for saving power of user equipment in wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A power saving method of a terminal in a wireless communication system in which transmit power control is performed in units of subframe, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a transceiver, control information including a reference pattern for a power saving mode from a base station;
determining, by a controller, whether the terminal is configured to operate in the power saving mode; and
determining, by the controller, when the terminal is configured to operate in the power saving mode, whether to decode a downlink control channel according to the reference pattern,wherein the reference pattern comprises Almost Blank Subframe (ABS) pattern information.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for improved power saving in a User Equipment (UE) supporting enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination/Time-domain ICIC (eICIC/Time-domain ICIC) are provided. The power saving method includes receiving control information including a reference pattern for a power saving mode from a base station, determining whether the terminal is configured to operate in the power saving mode, and determining, when the terminal is configured to operate in the power saving mode, whether to decode a downlink control channel according to the reference pattern.
