Abstract
An operation control method in a base station of a wireless communication system includes: checking whether or not an allowed mobile station exists in coverage of the base station and overall coverage of base stations adjacent to the base station; and controlling the base station to perform transmission/reception at a predetermined period through a first discontinuous operation, when the allowed mobile station does not exist in the coverage of the base station and the overall coverage of the adjacent base stations.
Claims7
An operation method of a first base station, comprising:
- checking whether or not an allowed mobile station exists in coverage of the first base station and coverage of a second base station adjacent to the first base station;
- and
- discontinuously operating with a first period, if the allowed mobile station does not exist in the coverage of the first base station and the coverage of the second base station.
A base station comprising:
- a data processing unit configured to transmit/receive data or signals to and from a mobile station;
- a network processing unit configured to process data into a network;
- and
- a control unit configured to discontinuously operate the data processing unit with a predetermined period, if an allowed mobile station does not exist in coverage of the base station and coverage of an adjacent base station adjacent to the base station.
