Abstract
The base station includes: a determination unit for comparing states of traffic currently provided by the base station and other neighboring base stations and determining whether the base station has the lowest traffic; an information transmission unit for sending a sleep request and a handover request for handing over the user terminal associated with the base station to one of the neighboring base stations in case where the determination unit determines that the traffic currently provided by the base station is lowest; a receiving unit for receiving feedback information sent from the one of the neighboring base stations after admission control; and an executing unit for executing sleep decision after receiving handover request permitting information from the neighboring base station.
