Abstract

A method is provided in one embodiment and includes receiving a first message including an indication that a first access point of a first network is a gateway access point of a first network, receiving a second message including an indication that a second access point of the first network is an inner access point of the first network, and receiving an indication of a number of wireless devices registered with at least one of the first access point and the second access point. The method further includes determining a power mode for the second access point based upon whether at least one wireless device is registered with the first access point or the second access point, and sending a power mode command message to the second access point indicative of the determined power mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of communications, and more particularly to systems and methods for small cell power control in an enterprise network environment. Background technique [0002] In the communications environment, networking architectures are becoming increasingly complex. For example, femtocells have gained recent fame due to their performance and their ease-of-use. In general terms, an access point can operate in a licensed spectrum to connect a wireless device to a network (eg, using a broadband connection). For mobile operators, access points can provide improvements in both coverage and capacity: especially useful in indoor environments. There is an increasing emphasis on reducing power consumption within enterprise environments. However, femtocell access points within an enterprise environment may consume power even when there are no users within the enterprise environment. Contents of the invention [00...
