Abstract

See full text

The techniques described herein relate ascertaining resources of a radio access network that can be switched off during low network utilization, wherein the method comprises ascertaining an overlap of at least one sector of a base station of the radio access network by at least one sector of a surrounding base station of the radio access network. At least one candidate sector is determined to be switched off as a function of the ascertained overlap, wherein the candidate sector is essentially completely covered by the at least one sector of the surrounding base stations. The techniques may include selection from among the candidate sectors a combination of sectors that are to be switched off, and switching off the candidate sectors of the selected combination.
