Embodiments of the present invention provide a
base station energy-saving method, device, and
base station, which relate to the field of communication technology. The method includes: a
macro base station receives an energy-saving
handover request sent by at least one
small cell base
station, and each energy-saving
handover request carries first parameter information ; Judging whether the at least one
small cell base
station satisfies the energy-saving
handover condition according to the first parameter information and the energy-saving handover condition; The base
station sends an energy-saving switching command, so that the at least one
small cell base station enters an energy-saving state. In the present invention, the
macro base station judges whether at least one small
cell base station can be switched to the energy-saving state according to the first parameter information of at least one small
cell and the energy-saving switching condition, and fully considers the load condition of the
macro base station to ensure that the macro base station can be at least one Users covered by the small
cell normally provide services.
