Abstract:
Enabling a changing of a state of a device based on a hierarchical class of the device is disclosed. Non-macro radio access network (RAN) devices can be comprised in a network connected to a macro RAN device via a gateway RAN device. The gateway RAN device can be connected to a field RAN device via an intermediate RAN device. A state of a field RAN device can be altered based on a criterion. In an embodiment the criterion can be use of the hierarchical class of the RAN device, e.g., a field class RAN device, by an active or idle UE. In an embodiment the criterion can be use, by an active or idle UE, of another RAN device that is a logical neighbor to the field RAN device. Altering the state can result in a power savings or improved interference characteristics of the network.

Claim (Index 1):
A system, comprising:\n a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:\n in response to determining a first field radio access network device relationship between a field radio access network device and a gateway radio access network device having a gateway neighbor relationship with a macro radio access network device, a second field radio access network device relationship between the field radio access network device and an intermediate radio access network device comprising an intermediate neighbor relationship with the gateway radio access network device, and a third field radio access network device relationship between the field radio access network device and a user equipment that is not affiliated with the field radio access network device and is not affiliated with a neighbor radio access network device that is a neighbor to the field radio access network device, determining a state transition for a state of the field radio access network device based on the first field radio access network device relationship, the second field radio access network device relationship, and the third field radio access network device relationship; and \n in response to determining that a trigger rule related to initiating the state transition has been satisfied, initiating the state transition for the state of the field radio access network device.
