以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施の形態について説明する。はじめに、図1を用いて本発明の実施の形態1にかかる移動通信システムの構成例について説明する。本図の移動通信システムは、セル1を有する基地局10及びセル2を有する基地局20を有している。つまり、基地局10は、カバーエリアとしてセル1の範囲を管理し、基地局20は、カバーエリアとしてセル2の範囲を管理する。基地局10及び基地局20は、例えば、3GPPの技術仕様書に規定されているeNodeB(eNB)や、NodeB等であってもよい。eNBは、主に、3GPPの技術仕様書に規定されている無線アクセス方式であるLTE方式を実現するために用いられる。
続いて、図7を用いて本発明の実施の形態2にかかる基地局30の構成例について説明する。ここでは、基地局30が、Energy Saving Cellを管理する基地局として説明する。さらに、基地局30が管理するEnergy Saving Cellが、複数の他の基地局が管理するCompensation Cellによって補償される場合について説明する。基地局30は、通信部31、判定部32及び省電力制御部33を備えている。本図の基地局30は、図2における基地局10と比較して判定部32を有している点が異なる。以下、通信部31及び省電力制御部33は、図2における通信部11及び省電力制御部12と異なる点を主に説明する。
続いて、図17を用いて、本発明の実施の形態3において前提となる課題について説明する。本図においては、Cell#2~Cell#7がEnergy Saving Stateへ遷移した場合、Cell#1がCell#2~Cell#7を補償するためにcompensatingForEnergySaving stateへ遷移する。また、Cell#2~Cell#7がEnergy Saving Stateへ遷移する前の状況において、Cell#1のPCIはBと設定されており、Cell#10のPCIもBと設定されている。PCI(物理セルID)は、セルを識別する識別子として用いられる。PCIは、有限である。そのため移動通信ネットワーク内のセルにPCIが割り当てられる際に、通信に影響が出ないように重複した値が割り当てられることもある。
