Abstract

An embodiment of the present disclosure may provide a power consumption controlling method and apparatus. An embodiment of the present disclosure may provide a method and apparatus for controlling power consumption by a base station, the method comprising: determining empty symbol duration in at least one subframe; and performing a power amplifier (PA) on/off operation based on the determination result. Further, an embodiment of the present disclosure may provide a method and apparatus for controlling power consumption by a base station, the method comprising: generating baseband in-phase/quadrature-phase (IQ) data; determining whether the baseband IQ data includes data which must be transmitted for a predetermined time; and controlling a PA on/off based on the determination result and a transient of a power amplifier (PA).
