Problems solved by technology

[0009] Although it has been proposed to use sleep mode to save power consumption, it is not disclosed how to use sleep mode, especially for a group of base stations
In addition, the energy efficiency of the base station is not enough
Furthermore, putting some base stations into sleep mode may cause some problems, for example, reducing the coverage area of ​​the communication network and mobile terminals may have difficulty accessing the network or suffer from high call loss / degradation of service quality

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for status management of base stations in a communication network. The method comprises measuring overall traffic load of the base stations (210) and transferring at least one of the base stations from an awaken mode to a sleep mode based on the measurement (220).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to conserving power of base stations, and in particular to a method for state management of a base station in a communication network and an apparatus for implementing the method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid expansion of mobile communication networks, operators are becoming more and more aware of their energy bills. China Mobile's operation and maintenance expenditure report shows that in 2007, electricity expenditure was equal to 10 billion US dollars, accounting for more than half of the operation and maintenance costs. More operators are putting more demands on energy usage. At the same time, saving energy reduces CO 2 Benefits the environment in terms of emissions and preventing global warming. [0003] In a network element, the base station is the single largest energy consumer. Therefore, it is important to reduce the power consumption of the base station. [0004] At present, power sa...
