Abstract
A system described herein may identify one or more Key Performance Indicators ('KPIs') associated with a first base station. The system may identify, based on the one or more KPIs, an occurrence of a particular event, and select a second base station and a repeater device. The repeater device and the second base station may implement the same set of wireless frequencies. The system may cause the repeater device to repeat wireless signals transmitted to or from the second base station, and may cause the first base station to shut down or to enter a low-power mode. A UE that is wirelessly connected to the first base station prior to the first base station shutting down or entering the low-power mode, may wirelessly connect to the second base station via the repeater device based on the first base station shutting down or entering the low-power mode.
