Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There are provided measures for a pathloss-based access node wake-up control, more specifically a pathloss-based access node wake-up control in a heterogeneous network environment. Such measures exemplarily include a retrieval of an average handover pathloss level between an access node and a neighboring access node, an estimation of an uplink sounding pathloss level between the access node and a terminal, said terminal being connectable to the access node and the neighboring access node, a comparison of the estimated uplink sounding pathloss level and the retrieved average handover pathloss level, and an enabling of a switch-on of the access node from an inactive state in which a transmitter is switched off to an active state in which the transmitter is switched on, when the estimated uplink sounding pathloss level is smaller than the retrieved average handover.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising retrieving an average handover pathloss level between an access node and a neighboring access node, estimating an uplink sounding pathloss level between the access node and a terminal, said terminal being connectable to the access node and the neighboring access node, comparing the estimated uplink sounding pathloss level and the retrieved average handover pathloss level, and enabling a switch-on of the access node from an inact…
