Abstract
Provided are a mobile communication system, a base station, a communication method and a program whereby respective cells can be changed to an energy saving cell or a Compensation Cell, while minimizing the occurrence of interference. The mobile communication system according to the present invention has a base station (11) having a cell (1), and a base station (20) having a cell (2). Furthermore, the base station (20) according to the present invention sends first information indicating that preparations for change of the cell (1) to an energy saving state have been completed, to the base station (20).
Claims19
A mobile communication system, comprising:
- a first base station having a first cell;
- and
- a second base station having a second cell;
- wherein the first base station sends first information indicating that preparations for change of the first cell to an energy saving state have been completed, to the second base station.
A base station having a first cell,
- wherein, in a case where a configuration is adopted whereby, when the first cell changes to an energy saving state and a coverage area of the first cell is reduced, then a coverage area of a second cell is enlarged so as to compensate for the first cell,
- the base station comprises:
- a communication unit that communicates with a second base station having the second cell;
- and
- an energy saving control unit that sends first information indicating that preparations for change of the first cell to the energy saving state have been completed, to the second base station via the communication unit.
A communication method used in a base station having a first cell,
- wherein, in a case where a configuration is adopted whereby, when the first cell changes to an energy saving state and a coverage area of the first cell is reduced, then a coverage area of a second cell is enlarged so as to compensate for the first cell,
- the communication method comprises sending first information indicating that preparations for change of the first cell to the energy saving state have been completed, to a second base station having the second cell.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program to be executed by a computer in a base station having a first cell is stored,
- wherein, in a case where a configuration is adopted whereby, when the first cell changes to an energy saving state and a coverage area of the first cell is reduced, then a coverage area of a second cell is enlarged so as to compensate for the first cell,
- the program causes the computer to execute a step for sending first information indicating that preparations for change of the first cell to the energy saving state have been completed, to a second base station having the second cell.
