1. A method, performed by an electronic device, of controlling a plurality of cells for providing radio resources to a plurality of user equipments (UEs), the method comprising:
obtaining information about a load of each of the plurality of cells;
calculating a total load of the plurality of cells based on the obtained information;
changing a state of at least one cell from among the plurality of cells from an active state to an inactive state or from an inactive state to an active state based on the calculated total load and power consumption efficiency of each of the plurality of cells; and
controlling the plurality of cells so that the plurality of UEs are connected to active cells from among the plurality of cells in response to the change in the state of the at least one cell,
wherein based on a ratio of the total load to a maximum total load being less than a first threshold ratio, a state of a first cell having a lowest power consumption efficiency from among the plurality of cells is set to an inactive state.
