Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for managing the power of a secondary node in an E-Utran/New Radio Dual Connectivity (ENDC)—configured wireless communication network. In response to determining that one or more transmission blocking conditions have been met, a master node communicates an instruction to the secondary node via a data connection cable or an X2 logical interface to not transmit downlink signals, reducing overall power network power consumption and inter-nodal inference when ENDC resources are not required.
