Method of controlling plurality of cells for providing radio resources to plurality of user equipments, and electronic device for performing the method

An electronic device configured to control a plurality of cells to provide radio resources to a plurality of user equipments (UEs), the electronic device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor electrically connected to the memory and the plurality of cells, the processor configured to control the electronic device to:
• obtain information about a load of each of the plurality of cells;
• calculate a total load of the plurality of cells based on the obtained information;
• change a state of at least one cell from among the plurality of cells from an active state to an inactive state or from an inactive state to an active state based on the calculated total load and power consumption efficiency of each of the plurality of cells;
• in response to a ratio of the total load to a maximum total load being less than a first threshold ratio, set a state of a first cell having a lowest power consumption efficiency from among the plurality of cells to an inactive state;
• and
• control the plurality of cells so that the plurality of UEs are connected to active cells from among the plurality of cells in response to the change in the state of the at least one cell.
