A method and system for providing small cell deployment and access in a green 3GPP LTE system are disclosed. The method includes establishing, by a UE, an RRC connection with a macro cell, receiving, by the macro cell, an RRC connection establishment message from the UE, wherein the RRC connection establishment message includes an IE including an identity of a list of small cells on which the UE can initiate a connection, determining by the macro cell, at least one small cell for data transfer, verifying, by the macro, if the at least one small cell is in a sleep mode or not, triggering, by the macro cell, a connection setup message for initiating a connection between the UE and the at least one small cell if the small cell is in a wake up mode, sending, by the UE, an SRS for initial timing alignment and allocating by the at least one small cell, an uplink/downlink resource to the UE for communication with the at least one small cell.
