Method and apparatus for controlling operation mode of femtocell base station
A method for controlling an operation mode of a femtocell base station includes receiving a channel quality indicator of a downlink channel between the femtocell base station and a terminal, which is transmitted from the terminal; calculating a communication quality between the femtocell base station and the terminal based on the channel quality indicator; determining whether or not an interference factor has occurred in communication between the femtocell base station and the terminal based on the communication quality; and changing or maintaining an operation mode of the femtocell base station based on the determination result. The communication quality may be calculated when the operation mode of the femtocell base station is allowed to be changed.
