Abstract:
The base station control method according to the present invention is a control method for controlling the operating mode of the base station, comprising the steps of: judging whether a terminal is not present inside a cell controlled by the base station; and running in a low-duty operation mode (LDM) if the terminal is not present in the cell.
Abstract:
Provided is The present invention provides a method to dynamically control the sleep window or the listening window of a sleep mode in order to minimize power consumption of a mobile terminal. The power saving method relates to a method for a transmitter of a communication system that controls data transmission to a listening window and a sleep window to control the sleep window, wherein if the data transmission is generated during the listening window, the transmitter gradually decreases a sleep window subsequent thereto by a predetermined ratio, and to the contrary, if the data transmission is not generated during the listening window, the transmitter gradually increases a sleep window subsequent thereto by a predetermined ratio.
Abstract:
In a method for setting the cycle of the low-duty mode in a femtocell base station, the cycle of the low-duty mode has a pattern in which available intervals and unavailable intervals repeatedly appear, and the available intervals are set in such a way as to include the paging listening interval of a paging cycle. In a method for setting the cycle of the low-duty mode in a femtocell base station having a service area overlapping a macrocell, the unavailable intervals are set with reference to the extent to which the service area of the femtocell base station overlaps the macrocell. In a method for setting the cycle of the low-duty mode in a plurality of femtocell base stations running in low-duty mode, the same cycle can be set in the plurality of base stations.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a femtocell search method for a handover from a macrocell to a femtocell. The present invention relates to a method for a terminal that accesses a macrocell to search a femtocell in an environment where a plurality of femtocells are overlapped in one macrocell. The terminal searches a femtocell by using a dummy preamble in order to minimize the size of neighbor cell lists broadcasted from the macrocell to the terminal. Therefore, according to the present invention, an MAC overhead can be minimized by eliminating neighbor femtocell lists in a mobile neighbor advertisement (MOB_NBR_ADV) message broadcasted from the macrocell, and the terminal can search a femtocell with a minimum scanning load by checking only a femtocell dummy preamble in a dedicated symbol of the macrocell.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a service-providing method for a femto cell, which provides a plurality of user equipments with two or more femto services at the same time, and to a transceiver for the method. In the event a femto base station supports two or more femto cell subscription schemes, the femto base station provides the user equipments which have subscribed to different femto cells with data services having qualities different from one another at the same time. The femto cell subscription schemes supported by the femto base station are advertised to user equipments via a PHY-level identifier or a MAC-level identifier. A CSG-closed femto cell provides a limited number of subscribers with high-quality data services, a CSG-open femto cell provides a limited number of subscribers with relatively lower quality data services, and an OSG femto cell provides all user equipments with the lowest quality data service regardless of whether or not the user equipments have subscribed to the femto cell.
Abstract:
A base station management method according to the present invention is a method for managing an operation mode of a base station, and includes determining whether a terminal exists in a cell managed by the base station and operating in a low duty operation mode (LDM) when no terminal exists in the cell.
