Abstract
A method includes determining, at a first cell and for a selected user equipment, a second cell would have a better performing RF interface connection with the selected user equipment than the selected user equipment currently has with the first cell. The first cell can provide radio frequency coverage for the second cell. The method includes sending to the second cell one or more messages indicating the second cell should not enter or be in an energy saving state at least while the selected user equipment or a selected user application on the selected user equipment is connected to the second cell. Another method includes determining a cell should not enter an energy saving state at least while a selected user equipment is connected to the cell; and the cell not entering the energy saving state at least while the selected user equipment is connected to the cell.
