1. A method comprising:
- comparing input information into two or more access points, the two or more access points each having respective controllers being operated synchronously with each other, the two or more access points having overlapping radio coverage to at least one user equipment in a wireless communication network, the input information being compared based upon one or more scenarios operable to minimize energy consumption;
identifying one or more energy conservation constraints in the wireless communication network based on the comparison of the input information; and
controlling each of the two or more access points using said respective synchronous controllers to selectively distribute traffic through at least one of the two or more access points based upon the one or more energy conservation constraints.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and a non-transitory computer readable medium include comparing two or more access points in a wireless communication network based upon one or more scenarios to minimize energy consumption, identifying one or more energy conservation constraints in the wireless communication network and controlling each of the two or more access points by selectively distributing traffic based upon the one or more energy conservation constraints.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program of machine-readable instructions executable by a digital processing apparatus of a computer system to perform operations for controlling computer system, said actions comprising:
-
comparing input information into two or more access points, the two or more access points each having respective controllers being operated synchronously with each other, the two or more access points having overlapping radio coverage to at least one user equipment in a wireless communication network, the input information being compared based upon one or more scenarios operable to minimize energy consumption; identifying one or more energy conservation constraints in the wireless communication network based on the comparison of the input information; and controlling each two or more access points using said respective synchronous controllers to selectively distribute traffic through at least one of the two or more access points based upon the one or more energy conservation constrains constraints.
