3.9.23 Managing the BS Idle Mode Parameters
The single sector Idle Mode capability provides the benefits of MS power savings
and manageable total sector active and non active users, together with reduced
overhead on the backhaul network.
Idle Mode (IM) mechanism allows an MS to become unavailable on the air
interface, and thus freeing operational resources and preserving MS power.
During IM operation, an MS switch off its transmission and reception capabilities,
and becomes available for DL broadcast control messaging, i.e., MS Paging, in a
periodically manner. Using paging broadcast, BS can indicate (if necessary) the
MS to exit from IM and return into normal operation mode. The paging control
message is sent over the DL of a set of BSs simultaneously. This set is called
Paging group (PG). In the current release, each Paging Group includes a single BS.
During IM, MS performs location updates when moving from one PG to another.
While in the same PG, MS does not need to transmit in the UL and can be paged
in the DL if there is traffic targeted at it.
After enabling the BS configuration mode, you can configure the Idle Mode
parameter (refer to Section 3.9.23.1).
You can display configuration information for the Idle Mode parameter of a
selected or all existing BSs (refer to Section 3.9.23.2).
