Abstract
A method for reducing energy consumption for a base station providing multiple-input multiple-output, MIMO, communication on a mixed-mode carrier supporting at least two RATs is provided by determining sleep mode independently for the at least two RATs and performing port merging for at least one of the two RATs based on the determined sleep modes. An apparatus implementing the method is also disclosed.
