Question: In a 5G network utilizing Intra-RAT energy saving, what condition must be met before an NR capacity booster cell can be switched off in a distributed energy saving scenario?
Option 1: When the candidate cells detect additional capacity is needed.
Option 2: Immediately after the NR capacity booster cell's traffic load falls below a certain threshold.
Option 3: Once the MnS producer collects and analyzes traffic load performance measurements from all cells.
Option 4: After handover actions to off-load its traffic to the candidate cells are completed.
Explanation: In a distributed energy saving scenario for Intra-RAT energy saving in 5G networks, ensuring seamless service continuity is crucial. Switching off an NR capacity booster cell without first off-loading its traffic could lead to service disruptions. Therefore, the correct condition that must be met before such a cell can be safely switched off is after the completion of handover actions to transfer its existing traffic load to neighboring candidate cells, thereby maintaining network coverage and service continuity.
