Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods to affect the activity of a base station transmitter (BTS) in a cellular communications network based, at least in part, on operating conditions. In one particular example implementation, a BTS in a cellular communication network may be placed in a reduced power consumption state in response to events or conditions indicative of reduced demand for service in the cell serviced by the BTS.
