Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A base station for managing a cell includes a controller configured to perform an on/off operation to turn a downlink transmission of the cell on and off. The controller performs a process of transmitting a periodic radio signal including a cell-specific reference signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A base station for managing a cell, comprising: a controller configured to perform an on/off operation to turn a downlink transmission of the cell on and off, wherein the controller is further configured to perform: a process of transmitting a periodic radio signal including a cell specific reference signal to be used for measuring received power of at least a downlink; a process of notifying a user terminal by transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) message by unicast, the RRC message including a first information and a second information, wherein the first information indicating a duration of transmitting the radio signal and the second information is information for the user terminal to identify a cycle of receiving the radio signal; and a process of notifying a neighbor base station of the same information as the first and second information transmitted to the user terminal. 2. A processor for controlling a base station for managing a cell, configured to cause the base station to perform: an on/off operation to turn a downlink transmission of the cell on and off; a process of transmitting a periodic radio signal including a cell specific reference signal to be used for measuring received power of at least a downlink; a process of notifying a user terminal by transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) message by unicast, the RRC message including a first information and a second information, wherein the first information indicating a duration of transmitting the radio signal and the second information is information for the user terminal to identify a cycle of receiving the radio signal; and a process of notifying a neighbor base station of the same information as the first and second information transmitted to the user terminal.
