The method comprises that a first base station determines measurement configuration information which indicates the UE to measure reference signals sent by a first network node in an assigned bandwidth, the first base station services as a service base station of the UE, and the first network node is in a sleep state; the first base station sends the measurement configuration information to the UE; the UE obtains the measuring result by measuring the reference signals of the first network node according to the measurement configuration information, and the first base station receives a measuring result sent by the UE; and the first base station determines whether to awake the first network node according to the measuring result.

What is a base station transmitter?
The goal of Base Station Transmits is to discuss challenges faced by engineers and technicians who must optimize today's wireless networks. Topics include antenna systems, backhaul testing, interference, and meeting key performance indicators (KPIs)
What does a live base station measurement entail?
If measurements on a live base station are required, the field engineer or technician needs to extract the “beamed” transmission in the direction to be evaluated, as well as know the intended EIRP. This means the test instrument must be able to track the on/off periods of the signal and use that information to control the measurement timing.
Are base station antenna measurement methods safe?
Abstract: Traditional base station antenna measurement methods conducted with professional worker climbing towers tend to raise safety and inefficiency concerns in practical application.
How can a base station be tested?
It is also possible for fault finding and commissioning teams to place the base station in a test mode where it transmits a known “test model” signal in a given direction and strength. This allows radiation patterns to be established and field strength in complex environments to be measured.
How do new base stations work?
Many new base stations utilize fiber optics from the tower base to the remote radio head (RRH) atop the tower. Short RF cables connect the RRH to the antennas. Installation teams arrive on site and conduct line sweeps on the RF cable feeds and properly align the antennas based upon MoP specifications.
How is LTE modulation quality measured?
Modulation quality of LTE base stations is most commonly performed from an RF test port on the radio. Field technicians can use an instrument, such as the Anritsu Field Master Pro™ MS2090A (figure 1), with built-in measurements for occupied bandwidth (OBW), channel power, error vector magnitude (EVM), RSRP, and other modulation quality metrics.
