Abstract
The present invention provides a method that includes receiving, at a server, one or more alarms from a first cell in a plurality of cells. The alarm(s) indicate that the first cell has detected a candidate sleeping cell in the plurality of cells based on an activity and/or a load on a communication link between the first cell and the candidate sleeping cell. The method also includes determining, at the server, whether the candidate sleeping cell is a sleeping cell using the alarm.
