Abstract:
A communication system and method for operating or evaluating the communication system includes powering a plurality of base stations each operating in at least a sleep mode and an active mode, wherein the base station operates in the sleep mode with less power consumption than in the active mode; analyzing an overall power consumption for powering the plurality of base stations with respect to a grade of service of the communication system; and switching at least one of the plurality of base stations to operate between the sleep mode and the active mode based on a result associated with the overall power consumption and/or the grade of service. Each of the plurality of base stations in sleep mode is further arranged to pass a service request to a nearby base station in the plurality of base stations such that the service request is handled by the respective nearby base station.

Claim (Index 8):
The method for operating a communication system in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the step of analyzing the overall power consumption with respect the grade of service includes estimating the overall power consumption and the grade of service of the communication system when the plurality of base stations operates based on each of the plurality of sleeping patterns.
