Abstract
A Femto base station which is arranged to connect to a wireless communication network and to generate a first cell for providing a wireless communication service to at least one user equipment existing within a coverage area of the first cell, comprising a transceiver comprising a transmitter and a receiver for the wireless communication with the user equipment and a controller, wherein the controller determines whether the Femto base station has entered an energy-saving mode or not, the controller disables the operation of the transmitter when it is determined that the base station has entered the energy-saving mode, and when the receiver detects a data transmission from the user equipment to a macro base station after disabling the operation of the transmitter, the controller reconfigures the transmitter. The macro base station generates a second cell with a broader coverage than the first cell and including the first cell.
