Problems solved by technology

[0013] Another problem that arises is that the operation (e.g. measurements, paging listening, etc.) of a terminal designed to work well when the corresponding network node is in the normal operating mode may not be optimal when the corresponding network node is in the "idle" state of

Embodiment Construction

[0052] In the following content, embodiments of the present invention will be described, in which a network node of the wireless network transmits an indication of its current operation mode to one or more terminals of the wireless network.

[0053] The description of the embodiments of the present invention will focus on UMTS LTE: however, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to applications in such systems. In addition, the term NodeB is used in the description, but this is definitely not a limitation. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present invention are equally applicable in the context of any type of network node such as any base station (eNodeB, femto cell, home base station, home eNodeB, home NodeB) or any radio network node with base station functionality and capabilities. .

[0054] First, a general description of example network signaling and some example tasks that the terminal may need to perform (or expect the terminal to perform) i...

Abstract

A method of operating a wireless network node of a wireless communication network is disclosed. The wireless network nodes have at least first and second downlink transmission modes, the first downlink transmission mode comprising normal operation of a particular network node and being applicable when a number of active terminals in a cell associated with the particular network node is greater than a first mode threshold value, and the second downlink transmission mode comprising restricted downlink transmission of the particular network node and being applicable when the number of active terminals in the cell associated with the particular network node is less than or equal to a second mode threshold value. The method comprises transmitting a signal indicative of a current downlink transmission mode of the wireless network node. Corresponding computer program product and arrangement are also disclosed.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of operating a network node in a wireless communication network, where the network node has two operation modes such as a high activity mode and a low activity mode. Background technique [0002] Energy consumption has been and remains an important issue for mobile terminals of wireless communication systems such as cellular systems. Recently, trends in environmentally friendly technologies have made it important to also reduce energy consumption for network nodes (for example, base stations-BS, NodeB, eNodeB, etc.). Unlike terminals that can switch to idle (or dormant) mode once they are inactive, network nodes need to always transmit some signals (for example, pilots, synchronization symbols, and broadcast messages) so that the camping terminal can be synchronized with the network (In sync). [0003] In an example scenario, when a network node serves a cell with many active terminals and some idle termi...
