Abstract

The present invention relates to an energy saving method and a centralized control device for receiving load information and SRS (Sounding Reference Signal) information of a cell from a base station, identifying whether an energy saving trigger condition is satisfied by using the received load information, identifying whether an energy saving condition is satisfied by using the received SRS information if the energy saving trigger condition is satisfied, and transmitting a transmission power management request message to the base station if the energy saving condition is satisfied. Further, the present invention provides a base station and a transmission power management method for the base station which manages a transmission power of a cell corresponding to a transmission power management request message received from the centralized control device.
