Abstract
A method and apparatus for cell sleep state detection and recovery are provided. In the method and apparatus, one or more connection state criteria indicative of whether a cell is in a sleep state are evaluated to determine whether the one or more connection state criteria are met. The one or more connection state criteria are selected from a random access channel (RACH) criterion, a channel measurement criterion, a cell handover criterion, a connection statistics criterion, a connected user equipment criterion, or a measurement change criterion. It is determined whether the cell is in the sleep state based on whether at least one of the one or more connection state criteria are met and in response to determining that the cell is in the sleep state, action is taken to cause the cell to exit the sleep state.
