Abstract: An example method is provided in one example embodiment and may include determining whether at least one user equipment (UE) is present within a combined WiFi coverage area that overlaps a small cell coverage area of a multimode access point (AP), wherein the multimode AP comprises a WiFi AP portion and a small cell AP portion; and controlling a power saving mode for the small cell AP portion of the multimode AP based on whether at least one UE is determined to be present within the combined WiFi coverage area that overlaps the small cell coverage area of the multimode AP.
