BASE STATION POWER SAVING METHOD AND SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC H04B7/05 

FIELD: physics, communications.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to communication. In the method, when performing transmission power planning for a broadcast control channel (BCCH) carrier, it is determined whether a traffic channel is in an idle state, it is determined whether the traffic channel is in a discontinuous transmission DTX silent period, when the traffic channel is in a non-idle state; and transmission power of channels configured on the BCCH carrier in some of time slots is reduced when the traffic channel is in the idle state or when the traffic channel is in the non-idle state and is in the DTX silent period. With the present invention, since the transmission power can be reduced according to demand of the planned part of time slots, the power consumption on the BCCH carrier can be optimised or its influence on the power consumption of the base station can be minimised while maintaining operating performance of the whole network.

EFFECT: base station power saving method and system are disclosed.
