  • Patent number: 8861411
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method manage power of a small base station. Whether a notify message indicating that a subscribed terminal enters a macro base station that includes an off-small base station is received from the macro base station under a closed access mode is determined. When the notify message is received, whether a service is providable to the subscribed terminal is determined. When the service is providable to the subscribed terminal, the small base station is turned on. During the closed access mode or when a load of a macro cell is large during an open access mode, when a terminal that should be serviced does not exist in the neighborhood of a small base station, an interference and power consumption unnecessarily generated may be reduced by turning off the small base station.
