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 14):
A method, comprising:\n in response to determining, by a system comprising a processor, that a radio access network device is of a field radio access network device class, determining a count comprising a first number of idle state user equipments and a second number of active state user equipments, wherein the idle state user equipments of the first number of idle state user equipments are affiliated with the radio access network device and neighbor devices that are first neighbors to the radio access network device, and wherein the active state user equipments of the second number of active state user equipments are affiliated with the radio access network device and the neighbor devices; and in response to determining that the count is zero, initiating a state transition from a first state of the radio access network device to a second state of the radio access network device different than the first state.
