Base station energy saving method, device and base station

Abstract

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.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, in particular to a base station energy saving method, device and base station. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of smart phones, users' demand for 3G network services is increasing. In response to the sharp increase in mobile data traffic, operators have deployed a large number of macro base stations and small cell base stations to increase the overall service performance of the 3G network so that users can enjoy high-speed data services. Large-scale deployment of macro base stations and small cell base stations can improve the overall service performance of the 3G network, but inevitably wastes energy. Therefore, how to improve service performance while avoiding energy waste has become an important issue. [0003] In the prior art, when the network traffic of a base station (small cell base station) is low, its users are switched to other base stations, ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the prior art, the base station determines whether to enter the energy-saving state by judging its own network traffic flow, without considering the load capacity of the surrounding adjacent base stations. When the base station switches the user to the surrounding adjacent base stations, it may affect the The normal business of other base stations is affected, and once other base stations cannot carry the users of this base station, it will cause delay or even interruption of user services
