Abstract
The present invention discloses a base station control device which controls the base station management and the carrier aggregation (CA) function according to a heterogeneous network environment, such that an optimum system throughput can be obtained in the heterogeneous network environment through the CA function, and an operating method of the base station control device.
Claims9
A base station control device comprising:
- a load acknowledging unit configured to acknowledge an overall load of base station in an operation-on state for a plurality of base stations having a carrier aggregation (CA) function using at least two frequency bands;
- a base station operating unit configured to control operation-on (On) or operation-off (Off) for each of the plurality of base stations according to the acknowledged overall load;
- and
- a CA operation mode control unit configured to determine the operation mode of the carrier aggregation (CA) function for the base station in an operation-on state differently according to the number of base station in an operation-on state among the plurality of base stations.
An operating method of a base station control device comprising:
- a load acknowledging step which acknowledges an overall load of base station in an operation-on state for a plurality of base stations having a carrier aggregation (CA) function using at least two frequency bands;
- a base station operating step which controls operation-on (On) or operation-off (Off) for each of the plurality of base stations according to the acknowledged overall load;
- and
- a CA operation mode controlling step which determines the operation mode of the carrier aggregation (CA) function for the base station in an operation-on state differently according to the number of base station in an operation-on state among the plurality of base stations.
