Definitions

  • a communication control device including an acquisition unit configured to acquire a result of measurement by a terminal device, and a control unit configured to control switching of an operation mode of a base station of a small cell overlapping with a macro cell partially or wholly based on the result of the measurement.
  • the switching is switching of the operation mode from one of a first mode and a second mode to the other.
  • the first mode is a mode in which the base station can perform wireless communication with a device in the small cell
  • the second mode is a mode that consumes less power than the first mode.
  • FIG. 8 is an explanatory view illustrating a concrete example of measurement results by the terminal device.
  • FIG. 9 is an explanatory view illustrating a second switching example of the operation mode in units of component carriers (CC).
  • FIG. 10 is an explanatory view illustrating a second switching example of the operation mode in units of small base stations.
  • FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing a first example of a schematic flow of a communication control process according to the first embodiment.
  • FIG. 12 is a flow chart showing a second example of the schematic flow of the communication control process according to the first embodiment.
  • FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram showing a first example of the schematic flow of the communication control process according to a first modification of the first embodiment.
  • FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram showing a first example of a schematic flow of a communication control process according to the first embodiment.

  • the requesting unit 151 requests each of the terminal devices 300-1 connected to the macro base station 100-1 to report a result of measurement via the wireless communication unit 120.
  • each of the terminal devices 300-1 connected to the macro base station 100-1 reports a result of measurement to the macro base station 100-1.
  • a result of measurement by each of the terminal devices 300-1 may contain a result of measurement by the macro base station 100-1 and/or a result of measurement by the one or more small base stations 200-1.
  • a request to the terminal 300-1 is made by transmitting, for example, an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection reconfiguration message (RRC Connection Reconfiguration message) to the terminal device 300-1.
  • RRC Radio Resource Control
  • the control unit 155 determines to perform the second switching of one of the small base stations 200-1 whose operation mode is the second mode. That is, if the terminal device 300-1 incapable of obtaining sufficient communication quality in any cell is present, the control unit 155 determines to perform the second switching (for example, switching from the stop mode or the power saving mode to the normal mode) of one of the small base stations 200-1 whose operation mode is the second mode (the stop mode or the power saving mode). Accordingly, the terminal device 300-1 may be able to obtain sufficient communication quality from the small base station 200-1 whose operation mode is switched to the first mode.
  • the predetermined threshold may be any value or dynamically change on the time axis.
  • the macro base station 100-1 includes the requesting unit 151, the information acquisition unit 153, and the control unit 155.
  • another node may determine the switching.
  • the other mode notifies the macro base station 100-2 of the switching or instructs the macro base station 100-2 to perform the switching and the switching recognition unit 161 may thereby recognize that the operation mode is switched from the first mode to the second mode.
  • the macro base station 100-2 instructs the small base station 200-2 to switch the operation mode from the first mode to the second mode (S615). Then, the small base station 200-2 switches the operation mode from the first mode (for example, the normal mode) to the second mode (for example, the stop mode or the power saving mode) (S617).
  • the first mode for example, the normal mode
  • the second mode for example, the stop mode or the power saving mode
  • the control entity 400-2 determines to perform switching of the operation mode of the small base station 200-2 from the first mode (for example, the normal mode) to the second mode (for example, the stop mode or the power saving mode) (S641).
  • first mode for example, the normal mode
  • second mode for example, the stop mode or the power saving mode
  • the small base station 200-2 includes the switching recognition unit 161 and the requesting unit 163. Also, for example, instead of the macro base station 100-2, the small base station 200-2 includes the information acquisition unit 165 and the control unit 167.
  • the macro base station 100 and the small base station 200 may be realized as any type of eNB (evolved Node B).
  • the macro base station 100 may be realized as macro eNB and the small base station 200 may be realized as small eNB.
  • the small eNB may be eNB covering a cell smaller than a macro cell such as pico eNB, micro eNB, or home (femto) eNB.
  • the macro base station 100 and the small base station 200 may be realized as other types of base stations such as NodeB or base transceiver station (BTS).
  • BTS base transceiver station
  • Each of the antennas 840 has a single or a plurality of antenna elements (for example, a plurality of antenna elements constituting a MIMO antenna) and is used to transmit and receive a radio signal by the RRH 860.
  • the eNB 830 may have, as shown in FIG. 22, a plurality of the antennas 840 and, for example, the plurality of antennas 840 may correspond to a plurality of frequency bands used by the eNB 830 respectively.
  • FIG. 22 shows an example in which the eNB 830 has the plurality of antennas 840, but the eNB 830 may have the single antenna 840.
