Communication method, device and system

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a communication method, device, and system. One of the methods includes: monitoring whether the terminal in the first network has a second network service demand; the first network is covered by the second network; the average data transmission rate of the second network is higher than the average of the first network Data transmission rate, all public physical channels or some public physical channels in the second network except the pilot channel are closed; when the terminal has a second network service demand, send a network switching instruction including the second network configuration information to the terminal , the network switching indication is used to instruct the terminal to switch from the first network to the second network. The embodiment of the present invention reduces the power consumption of the communication equipment on the network side under the same coverage of the heterogeneous network, and reduces unnecessary power waste.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to communication technologies, and in particular, to a communication method, device, and system. Background technique [0002] Currently, networks of different standards may perform overlapping coverage. The overlapping coverage of heterogeneous networks will make the network structure more and more complex, the pressure on maintenance costs of multiple networks will increase, and the pressure on reducing the overall power consumption of wireless networks will also increase. Therefore, operators expect a converged single radio access network (Single Radio Access Network, referred to as Single RAN) to integrate voice, narrowband data, mobile broadband and other wireless bearer modes suitable for various user needs into one network element. In the SingleRAN era, the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network, High Speed ​​Packet Access (HSPA), and even It is the Long Term Evolution (LTE for sho...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in Single RAN, the network-side communication device broadcasts system messages occupying a large amount of wireless resources, and in order to ensure coverage, the network-side communication device will always transmit at the maximum power

Therefore, in Single RAN, the power consumption of communication equipment on the network side will become larger and larger
