Abstract
A method for managing a mobile communication system in which a base station and a mobile station communicate with each other, the method includes: stopping, among cells of a plurality of base stations, operation of a cell whose amount of use of communication is smaller than a reference value; and operating, among the cells of the plurality of base stations, a cell whose amount of use of communication is larger than the reference value using a high-order multi-input and multi-output configuration in which a plurality of antennas are used for transmission.

A method of managing a mobile communication system in which a base station and a mobile station communicate with each other, the method comprising:
- operating first cells, which are included in a plurality of base stations, located adjacent one another;
- grouping a certain lumber of the first cells when a number of cells of the plurality of base stations exceeds the certain number;
- measuring an amount of use of communication of the first cells;
- making all of the first cells operate using one of a plurality of multi-input and multi-output configurations based on a degree to which a total amount of use of communication of the first cells is larger than a maximum value;
- and
- stopping one or more second cells included in the first cells when the total amount of use of communication is less than or equal to a first reference value and the one or more second cells have amounts of use of communication that are smaller than a second reference value based on an average value of the amounts of use of communication of the first cells.
A monitoring control apparatus for a mobile communication system in which a base station and a mobile station communicate with each other, the monitoring control apparatus comprising:
- a collection unit to collect amounts of use of communication from cells of a plurality of base stations;
- and
- a control unit to:
- operate first cells, which are included in a plurality of base stations, located adjacent one another,
- group a certain number of the first cells when a number of cells of the plurality of base stations exceeds the certain number;
- measure an amount of use of communication of the first cells:
- make all of the first s operate using one of a plurality of multi-input and multi-output configurations based on a degree to which a total amount of use of communication of the first cells is larger than a maximum value, and
- stop one or more second cells included in the first cells when the total amount of use of communication is less than or equal to a first reference value and the one or more second cells have amounts of use of communication that smaller than a second reference value based on an average value of the amounts of use of communication of the first cells.
