A small cell sleep control method and network equipment

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a tiny cell sleep control method and network equipment, and relates to the communication field, so as to reduce energy consumption. The tiny cell sleep control method comprises steps: a service request message sent by user equipment is received, wherein the service request message comprises user equipment identification and service priority, and the service priority is the service priority needed by the current communication of the user equipment; the user equipment identification and the service priority are stored in a service list of a serve tiny cell, wherein the serve tiny cell is the tiny cell which can meet the service request of the user equipment; the serve tiny cell corresponding to the service list is judged whether to meet the wakeup condition; and when the serve tiny cell corresponding to the service list meets the wakeup condition, the service tiny cell is controlled to enter the wakeup state. The tiny cell sleep control method and the network equipment provided by the embodiment of the invention are used for wakeup of the tiny cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a small cell sleep control method and network equipment. Background technique [0002] In recent years, resource crisis, especially energy shortage, has attracted people's attention. Studies have shown that wireless communication is one of the major energy-consuming industries. At present, cellular networks are the main wireless communication networks. In cellular networks, cellular base stations need to adopt Larger transmit power to transmit signals to ensure coverage of a wide range of service cells. User equipment needs to use relatively large transmit power to transmit signals so that the transmitted signals can still meet a certain communication quality when reaching the base station. Therefore, wireless communication networks Especially the cellular network consumes a lot of energy in daily life. [0003] The macro cell uses the macro base station to provide network serv...

Problems solved by technology

However, in the above two control methods, any small cell that receives the service request message will enter the wake-up state to provide services for the user equipment, and it is inevitable to wake up multiple small cells, so the energy consumption is relatively high
