A method and device for fault identification and processing of a base station

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for recognizing and processing a failure of a base station. The method for recognizing and processing a failure of a base station comprises: monitoring, when a small base station is in an energy conservation state, heartbeat packets periodically sent by a corresponding macro base station which serves as a compensation cell; and if the heartbeat packets are not received within a preset period of time, determining that a failure occurs to the macro base station and controlling the small base station to exit the energy conservation state. By monitoring, when a small base station is in an energy conservation state, heartbeat packets periodically sent by a corresponding macro base station which serves as a compensation cell, and if the heartbeat packets are not received within a preset period of time, determining that a failure occurs to the macro base station and controlling the small base station to exit the energy conservation state, the embodiments of the present disclosure can timely find out the failed macro base station which serves as a compensation cell, wake up an energy conservation cell corresponding to same, and reduce coverage holes of a network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a base station failure identification processing method and device. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, in order to save energy, small base stations (energy-saving cells) and macro base stations (compensation cells) appear. There is an overlap between the coverage of the macro base station and the coverage of the small base station, and even the coverage of the macro base station completely covers the The coverage of small base stations, such as figure 1 As shown; further corresponding to the small base station (energy-saving cell) shutdown technology (small base station shut down, macro base station to compensate), specifically: [0003] Small base station shutdown (or dormancy) / startup function refers to the cell of small base station and the cell of macro base station, which belong to the inclusion relationship. Small base station belongs to capacit...
