Question: When a 5G NR (New Radio) capacity booster cell enters an energy-saving state for defined energy-saving use cases, what may happen to the candidate cell(s) in terms of their operational state?
Option 1: Candidate cell(s) may transition to a **compensatingForEnergySaving** state to increase coverage area.
Option 2: Candidate cell(s) will automatically enter an **energySaving** state as well, mirroring the booster cell's state.
Option 3: The candidate cell(s) must undergo a **coverageAreaReduction** process to minimize overlap.
Option 4: No operational state change is required for candidate cell(s) in this scenario.
Explanation: In the context of 5G energy efficiency (as per 3GPP standards), when a capacity booster cell enters an energy-saving mode, to maintain network performance, adjacent cells (candidate cells) may need to adjust their coverage. The **compensatingForEnergySaving** state allows these cells to increase their coverage area, ensuring minimal disruption to service quality. This procedure is part of energy-saving compensation activation, highlighting the network's ability to dynamically adapt for both efficiency and performance.
