Abstract
A method and apparatus for cell sleep state detection and recovery are provided. In the method and apparatus, an O-RAN network entity evaluates one or more resource utilization criteria indicative of whether a cell is in a sleep state to determine whether the one or more resource utilization criteria are met. The one or more resource utilization criteria are selected from a PUCCH criterion, a throughput criterion, a PRB utilization criterion, a PDCCH utilization criterion, a transmit or receive power criterion, a modulation and coding scheme criterion, a BLER criterion or a supplemental downlink criterion. The network entity determines whether the cell is in the sleep state based on whether at least one of the one or more resource utilization criteria are met and in response to determining that the cell is in a sleep state, causes the cell to exit the sleep state.
