Abstract
A method for operating a base station of a mobile wireless system, in particular of a mobile communications network, wherein the base station is configured to operate in different operation states, wherein the operation states at least include an active operational mode, in which the radio interface subsystem of the base station is fully activated, and a low-duty operational mode with reduced radio transmission activity, is characterized in that in the low-duty operational mode the base station implements a window mechanism including availability intervals during which radio transmissions are allowed and unavailability intervals in which no radio transmissions are allowed. Furthermore, a corresponding base station for deployment in a mobile wireless system is disclosed.
