ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reducing the amount of heat generated by a base station is disclosed. The method includes measuring the temperature of the base station equipment with a temperature sensor. When the sensor detects that a first predefined temperature level is reached, a first alarm in the mobile switching center is triggered. In response, the mobile switching center blocks a first predefined number of transceivers. Similarly, if the temperature continues to rise past a second and third predefined temperature levels, the mobile switching center blocks a second and third respective predefined number of transceivers as necessary. As the temperature decreases, the mobile switching center unblocks the respective transceivers in reverse order as determined by the temperature. The technique reduces the operating temperature of the base station such that equipment failure due to excessive heat is prevented.
