METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SAVING POWER CONSUMPTION OF BASE STATION IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18490333 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SAVING POWER CONSUMPTION OF BASE STATION IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation: The method described in the patent application involves a first base station determining if a terminal is connected to it, instructing the terminal to be handed over to a second base station, powering off the first base station once the handover is complete, and transmitting a message to the second base station indicating the power-off state.
- The first base station checks if a terminal is connected to it.
- If a terminal is connected, the first base station instructs it to be handed over to a second base station.
- Once the handover is done, the first base station powers off.
- A message is sent to the second base station informing it of the power-off state.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in cellular networks to efficiently manage handovers between base stations, ensuring seamless connectivity for mobile devices.
Problems Solved: This method addresses the issue of smoothly transitioning a connected terminal from one base station to another without causing disruptions in service.
Benefits: - Improved handover process for connected terminals - Enhanced network efficiency - Reduced service interruptions during handovers
Commercial Applications: The technology could be valuable for telecommunications companies looking to optimize their network operations and provide better service to their customers.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include existing methods for handovers between base stations in cellular networks.
Frequently Updated Research: Research on optimizing handover processes in cellular networks may provide valuable insights into improving the efficiency of this technology.
Questions about Base Station Handover Technology: 1. How does this technology impact the overall performance of cellular networks? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this method across a large-scale network infrastructure?
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of a first base station may comprise: determining, by a MT of the first base station, whether there is a terminal connected to a BSU of the first base station, when a power-off condition is satisfied in the BSU; instructing, by the MT, the terminal, which is connected to the BSU, to be handed over to a second base station, when there is a terminal connected to the BSU; instructing, by the MT, the BSU to power off the BSU, when the handover of the terminal, which is connected to the BSU, is completed; and transmitting, by the MT, a first message, which indicates a power-off state of the first base station, to the second base station, when the BSU is powered off.
