Abstract:
An optical terminal device includes: a relay processing circuitry relaying communication between first base stations, respectively connected to optical terminating devices at branch destinations of a transmission path, and a control device controlling the first base stations in accordance with information acquired from a second base station covering a cell overlapping cells of the first base stations; a detecting circuitry detecting a sleep control instruction, issued for one of the first base stations from the control device, from the communication being relayed by the relay processing circuitry; and a control circuitry performing control, via the transmission path, to cause the optical terminating device connected to the one of the first base stations to shift to an operating state or a sleep state, which consumes less power than the operating state, in response to detection of the sleep control instruction, the optical terminating device being one of the optical terminating devices.

Claim (Index 6):
A communication control method, wherein,\n a control device connected to an optical terminal device controls a plurality of first base stations in accordance with information acquired from a second base station covering a cell overlapping respective cells of the first base stations, the first base stations being respectively connected to a plurality of optical terminating devices at branch destinations of a transmission path of the optical terminal device, the optical terminal device relays communication between the first base stations and the control device, detects a sleep control instruction from the communication being relayed, the sleep control instruction being issued for one of the first base stations from the control device, and performs control, via the transmission path, to cause the optical terminating device connected to the one of the first base stations to shift to one of an operating state and a sleep state in response to detection of the sleep control instruction, the optical terminating device being one of the optical terminating devices, the sleep state consuming less power than the operating state, and the optical terminating device connected to the one of the first base stations communicates with the one of the first base stations through a first communication processing circuitry, communicates with the optical terminal device through a second communication processing circuitry via the transmission path, transfers the sleep control instruction for the one of the first base stations from the second communication processing circuitry to the first communication processing circuitry, and under the control of the optical terminal device, puts the second communication processing circuitry into one of an operating state and a sleep state, the sleep state consuming less power than the operating state.
