[0071] Before introducing the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the related technology is first described.

[0072] In the related technology, in the fronthaul semi-active system of the 5G communication system, it can include a fronthaul controller, a wireless controller, multiple AAUs, and DU / CU units; each AAU unit is equipped with multiple light-collecting modules, and multiple light-collecting modules can be connected to active devices through a combiner / splitter to form a WDM system. Among them, the working state of the light-collecting module is controlled by the fronthaul controller, and the business traffic transmitted by the light-collecting module is controlled by the wireless controller. At present, the light-collecting modules all work at rated power and have no sleep mechanism.

[0073] Based on this, in various embodiments of the present invention, a first information sent by a wireless controller is received; the first information is used to notify the wireless controller that the total business traffic transmitted by multiple lighting modules in the active antenna unit managed by the wireless controller is less than or equal to a first preset threshold; a lighting module to be put into sleep among the multiple lighting modules is determined; and a second information is sent to a forward transmission controller; the second information is used to instruct the forward transmission controller to control the lighting module to be put into sleep.

[0074] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0075] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the system architecture of the sleep control method of the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a fronthaul controller, a wireless controller, multiple AAUs, and DU / CU units.

[0076] The fronthaul system consists of a fronthaul controller and DU / CU units. The fronthaul controller is used to manage and control the working status of the light-collecting module in the AAU.

[0077] The wireless system is composed of a wireless controller and multiple AAU units, wherein the wireless controller is used to manage and control the business traffic transmitted by the lighting module in the AAU.

[0078] The orchestrator / collaborator is used to achieve collaboration between the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller to control the lighting module in the AAU to sleep or cancel sleep according to the actual business traffic.

[0079] The embodiment of the present invention provides a sleep control method, such as Figure 2 As shown, combined Figure 1 The system structure schematic diagram shown in FIG. 1 , the method comprises:

[0080] Step 201: receiving first information sent by a wireless controller; the first information is used to notify that the total traffic volume transmitted by multiple lighting modules in the active antenna unit managed by the wireless controller is less than or equal to a first preset threshold;

[0081] Step 202: determining a lighting module to be put into sleep mode among the plurality of lighting modules;

[0082] Step 203: Send second information to the forward transmission controller; the second information is used to instruct the forward transmission controller to control the lighting module to be dormant to go into dormancy.

[0083] Here, in step 201, in actual application, since the wireless controller can control the business traffic transmitted by the lighting module in the AAU, when the total business traffic transmitted by multiple lighting modules in each AAU is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, the AAU can send a business traffic over-limit notification message to the wireless controller. After receiving the business traffic over-limit notification sent by the AAU, the wireless controller can send a business traffic over-limit notification message to the orchestrator / orchestrator, that is, the first information. In this way, the orchestrator / orchestrator can control whether the lighting module in the AAU needs to be put into sleep mode.

[0084] Here, in step 202, in actual application, when the total traffic volume transmitted by multiple daylighting modules in an AAU is low, if each of the multiple daylighting modules is in working state, the power consumption of the daylighting module will increase, so the scheduler / coordinator can determine at least one daylighting module to be dormant from the multiple daylighting modules of the AAU. Specifically, the daylighting module with the smallest traffic volume can be controlled to be dormant, and the daylighting module with the traffic volume that meets the preset conditions can also be controlled to be dormant, and so on.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present invention, the orchestrator / orchestrator may coordinate between the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller to control the lighting module in the AAU to sleep or cancel sleep according to the actual traffic flow of the service.

[0086] The following is a detailed description of how the orchestrator / coordinator coordinates between the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller to control the lighting module in the AAU to sleep.

[0087] In actual application, when the business traffic transmitted by a lighting module in the AAU does not reach the traffic quota, the business traffic transmitted by the lighting module can be transferred to other lighting modules whose business traffic also does not reach the traffic quota, so that the lighting module can be used as a dormant lighting module.

[0088] Based on this, in one embodiment, determining the lighting module to be dormant among the multiple lighting modules includes: determining the lighting module to be dormant by adjusting the business traffic transmitted by at least one lighting module among the multiple lighting modules.

[0089] Table 1 is a schematic diagram of the business traffic transmitted by multiple lighting modules before adjustment. As shown in Table 1, it is assumed that the AAU includes lighting module 1, lighting module 2, and lighting module 3; among them, the business traffic transmitted by lighting module 1 reaches the traffic quota, represented by 100%E; the business traffic transmitted by lighting module 2 accounts for 20% of the traffic quota, represented by 0.2E; the business traffic transmitted by lighting module 3 accounts for 70% of the traffic quota, represented by 0.7E.

[0090] Lighting module in AAU Transmitted business traffic Lighting module 1 100% of the traffic quota Lighting module 2 20% of the traffic quota Lighting module 3 70% of the traffic quota

[0091] Table 1

[0092] Table 2 is a schematic diagram of the business traffic transmitted by multiple lighting modules after adjustment. As shown in Table 2, the business traffic transmitted by lighting module 2 in Table 1 can be transferred to lighting module 3, so that lighting module 2 is used as a lighting module to be dormant.

[0093] Lighting module in AAU Transmitted business traffic Lighting module 1 100% of the traffic quota Lighting module 2 No business traffic Lighting module 3 90% of the traffic quota

[0094] Table 2

[0095] In actual application, since the wireless controller can manage and control the business traffic transmitted by the lighting module in the AAU, after the orchestrator / orchestrator determines the lighting module to be dormant, it can send an indication message to the wireless controller to instruct the wireless controller to transfer the business traffic transmitted by the lighting module to be dormant to other lighting modules.

[0096] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0097] Sending third information to the wireless controller;

[0098] The third information is used to instruct the wireless controller to transfer the service traffic of the lighting module to be dormant to other lighting modules among the multiple lighting modules except the lighting module to be dormant.

[0099] Here, Table 3 is a schematic diagram of the functions supported by the interface between the orchestrator / orchestrator and the wireless controller. As shown in Table 3, the orchestrator / orchestrator uses the subscription enablement and over-limit notification functions to receive the first information sent by the wireless controller; and sends the third information to the wireless controller by clearing the service traffic function on the optical module.

[0100]

[0101] Table 3

[0102] In actual application, in order to determine whether the AAU contains a lighting module that needs to be put into sleep mode, the orchestrator / orchestrator needs to set the traffic over-limit threshold corresponding to the AAU, that is, the first preset threshold, and send the set traffic over-limit threshold to the AAU through the wireless controller.

[0103] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0104] Determining the first preset threshold;

[0105] The first preset threshold is sent to the active antenna unit through the wireless controller.

[0106] In actual application, since the number of lighting modules in the AAU is fixed and the business traffic quota transmitted by each AAU is fixed, when the AAU contains a lighting module that needs to be put to sleep, it indicates that the business traffic transmitted by at least two of the multiple lighting modules in the AAU has not reached the traffic quota, that is, there is idle traffic.

[0107] Based on this, in one embodiment, determining the first preset threshold includes:

[0108] Obtaining the service flow transmitted by any one of the plurality of light-collecting modules and the number of light-collecting modules in working state in the active antenna unit;

[0109] determining a first spare flow;

[0110] Multiplying the business flow and the number of lighting modules to obtain a first flow;

[0111] The first flow rate and the first spare flow rate are subtracted to obtain a difference value; and the difference value is used as the first preset threshold value.

[0112] Here, the first spare traffic may refer to the total service traffic that the multiple lighting modules fail to transmit.

[0113] Here, the first preset threshold value may be calculated according to formula (1), which is as follows:

[0114] L1=n×Bx (1)

[0115] Among them, L1 represents the first preset threshold; n represents the number of lighting modules in the AAU that are in working state; B represents the business flow transmitted by any one of the multiple lighting modules; and x represents the first free flow.

[0116] Table 4 is a schematic diagram of the free flow corresponding to the lighting module. As shown in Table 4, assuming that the business flow transmitted by lighting module 1 reaches the flow quota, represented by 100%E, the corresponding idle flow is 0; the business flow transmitted by lighting module 2 accounts for 20% of the flow quota, represented by 0.2E, and the corresponding idle flow is 80%E; the business flow transmitted by lighting module 3 accounts for 90% of the flow quota, represented by 0.9E, and the corresponding idle flow is 10%E. Then the total idle flow corresponding to the three lighting modules is 0.8E+0.1E=0.9E. Assuming that the first preset threshold is 0.9E, the AAU can trigger a flow limit violation notification to the wireless controller, and the wireless controller notifies the orchestrator / collaborator.

[0117] Lighting module in AAU Transmitted business traffic Free flow Lighting module 1 100% of the traffic quota 0 Lighting module 2 20% of the traffic quota 80% of the traffic quota Lighting module 3 90% of the traffic quota 10% of the traffic quota

[0118] Table 4

[0119] In one example, if Figure 3 As shown, a process of transmitting a first preset threshold to an AAU through a wireless controller is described, including:

[0120] Step 301: Set the business flow B transmitted by any one of the plurality of daylighting modules, the number n of daylighting modules in working state in the active antenna unit, and the first spare flow x.

[0121] Here, set the following parameters on the orchestrator / orchestrator:

[0122] N is the total number of AAU side optical modules, which is obtained from the fronthaul controller or entered by the network operation and maintenance personnel through the interface. N>3;

[0123] n, is the number of currently working optical modules on the AAU side, which is maintained by the orchestrator through system logic;

[0124] B is the rate of a single optical module, which is obtained by the orchestrator from the fronthaul controller or input by the network operation and maintenance personnel through the interface.

[0125] x, x∈(B, N×B], indicates that when the free traffic is greater than x, one optical module is put into sleep mode. (To ensure that at least one optical module can be put into sleep mode, x>B) is set and input by the operation and maintenance personnel.

[0126] Step 302: multiply the business flow B by the number of lighting modules n to obtain a first flow y1; subtract the first flow y1 from the first spare flow x to obtain a difference; and use the difference as the first preset threshold.

[0127] Step 303: Send the first preset threshold to the active antenna unit through the wireless controller.

[0128] Here, the first preset threshold is transmitted to the AAU by the wireless controller, which has the following advantages:

[0129] When the total business flow on an AAU side is less than the first preset threshold, the correspondence between the business flow and the lighting module can be adjusted so that some lighting modules do not carry business and some of the lighting modules are put into sleep mode.

[0130] In one example, if Figure 4 As shown, the process of controlling the light-collecting module in the AAU to sleep is described, including:

[0131] Step 401: Enable the subscription interface with the wireless controller.

[0132] Step 402: Receive first information sent by the wireless controller through a subscription interface.

[0133] Here, when the total traffic volume of services transmitted by the plurality of lighting modules in the AAU is less than n×Bx, the first information sent by the wireless controller through the subscription interface is received.

[0134] Among them, n represents the number of lighting modules in the AAU that are in working state; B represents the business flow transmitted by any one of the multiple lighting modules; and x represents the first spare flow.

[0135] Step 403: Determine whether the number of lighting modules in the AAU that are in working state is greater than 1; when it is determined that the number of lighting modules in the AAU that are in working state is greater than 1, execute step 404.

[0136] Step 404: determine the lighting module to be dormant, call the subscription interface with the wireless controller, instruct the wireless controller to clear the service traffic of the lighting module to be dormant, and return the number corresponding to the lighting module to be dormant.

[0137] Step 405: call the interface with the fronthaul controller, and instruct the fronthaul controller to control the lighting module to be put into sleep mode.

[0138] Here, Table 5 is a schematic diagram of the functions supported by the interface between the orchestrator / orchestrator and the fronthaul controller. As shown in Table 5, the orchestrator / orchestrator uses the sleep control notification function to instruct the fronthaul controller to control the lighting module to be put into sleep mode.

[0139]

[0140] Table 5

[0141] In one example, if Figure 5 The figure shows the process of interaction between the orchestrator / orchestrator and the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller, including:

[0142] Step 501: Enable the subscription interface with the wireless controller.

[0143] Here, after enabling the subscription interface with the wireless controller, the total service traffic in the AAU can be monitored through the wireless controller.

[0144] Step 502: Receive a limit-exceeding notification sent by a wireless controller.

[0145] Here, when the total traffic volume of services transmitted by the plurality of lighting modules in the AAU is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, an over-limit notification sent by the wireless controller is received.

[0146] Step 503: Determine the lighting module to be in sleep mode, and send the second information to the forward control.

[0147] Here, after receiving the second information, the forward transmission controller reduces the power of the lighting module to be put into sleep mode, so as to control the lighting module to be put into sleep mode.

[0148] Step 504: adjust the traffic for aggregation, and send third information to the wireless controller.

[0149] Here, the orchestrator / orchestrator interacts with the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller to control the light-collecting module in the AAU to sleep, which has the following advantages:

[0150] (1) When the total business traffic on the AAU side is low, the light-collecting module is controlled to sleep. Compared with the related art in which the light-collecting module has no sleep mechanism, this can avoid the occurrence of many unnecessary power consumption problems caused by the actual low business traffic carried by the light-collecting module when the total business traffic is low, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the overall power consumption of the optical module.

[0151] (2) Adaptive sleep of the lighting module is achieved through coordination between the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller.

[0152] The following is a detailed description of how the orchestrator / coordinator coordinates between the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller to control the lighting module in the AAU to cancel sleep.

[0153] In actual application, since the wireless controller can control the business traffic transmitted by the light-collecting module in the AAU, when the total business traffic transmitted by multiple light-collecting modules in each AAU is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, the AAU can send an optical module online notification message to the wireless controller. After receiving the optical module online notification sent by the AAU, the wireless controller can send an optical module online message, i.e., the fourth information, to the orchestrator / orchestrator. In this way, the orchestrator / orchestrator can cancel the sleep state of the light-collecting module in the AAU.

[0154] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0155] Receive fourth information sent by the wireless controller; the fourth information is used to indicate that the total traffic volume transmitted by multiple lighting modules in the active antenna unit connected to the wireless controller is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold; the second preset threshold is greater than the first preset threshold;

[0156] Determine whether there is a dormant lighting module among the plurality of lighting modules;

[0157] Sending fifth information to the forward transmission controller; the fifth information is used to instruct the forward transmission controller to control the dormant lighting module to stop dormancy.

[0158] In actual application, in order to determine whether the AAU contains a lighting module that needs to be canceled from sleep mode, the orchestrator / orchestrator needs to set the traffic limit threshold corresponding to the AAU, that is, the second preset threshold, and send the set traffic limit threshold to the AAU through the wireless controller.

[0159] Based on this, in one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0160] determining the second preset threshold;

[0161] The second preset threshold is sent to the active antenna unit through the wireless controller.

[0162] In actual application, since the number of lighting modules in the AAU is fixed and the business traffic quota transmitted by each AAU is fixed, when the AAU contains a lighting module that needs to be put to sleep, it indicates that the business traffic transmitted by at least two of the multiple lighting modules in the AAU has not reached the traffic quota, that is, there is idle traffic.

[0163] Based on this, in one embodiment, determining the second preset threshold includes:

[0164] Obtaining the service flow transmitted by any one of the plurality of light-collecting modules and the number of light-collecting modules in working state in the active antenna unit;

[0165] determining a second spare flow rate;

[0166] Multiplying the business flow and the number of lighting modules to obtain a second flow;

[0167] The second flow rate and the second free flow rate are subtracted to obtain a difference value; and the difference value is used as the second preset threshold value.

[0168] Here, the second spare flow may refer to the total business flow that the multiple lighting modules fail to transmit.

[0169] Here, the second preset threshold value may be calculated according to formula (2), specifically as follows:

[0170] L2=n×By (1)

[0171] Among them, L2 represents the second preset threshold; n represents the number of lighting modules in the AAU that are in working state; B represents the business flow transmitted by any one of the multiple lighting modules; and y represents the second free flow.

[0172] In one example, if Figure 6 As shown, a process of transmitting the second preset threshold to the AAU through the wireless controller is described, including:

[0173] Step 601: Set the business flow B transmitted by any one of the plurality of daylighting modules, the number n of daylighting modules in working state in the active antenna unit, and the second spare flow y.

[0174] Here, set the following parameters on the orchestrator / orchestrator:

[0175] N is the total number of daylighting modules on the AAU side, which is obtained from the fronthaul controller or input by the network operation and maintenance personnel through the interface. N>3;

[0176] n, is the number of currently working optical modules on the AAU side, which is maintained by the orchestrator through system logic;

[0177] B is the rate of a single optical module, which is obtained by the orchestrator from the fronthaul controller or input by the network operation and maintenance personnel through the interface.

[0178] Assume y∈[0, (N-1)×B]) When the free flow is less than y, the optical module in sleep mode is started. It should be noted that when canceling sleep mode, there must be at least one optical module in sleep mode, so y<(N-1)×B), y is set and input by the operation and maintenance personnel;

[0179] Here, the configured value sent down should ensure that y < x - B, where x is the first available traffic and y is the second available traffic.

[0180] Step 602: Multiply the service traffic B by the number of lighting modules n to obtain a second traffic y2; subtract the second traffic y2 from the second available traffic x to obtain a difference; use the difference as the second preset threshold.

[0181] Step 603: Send the second preset threshold to the active antenna unit through the wireless controller.

[0182] Here, transmitting the second preset threshold to the AAU through the wireless controller has the following advantages:

[0183] When the total service traffic on one AAU side is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, the corresponding relationship between the service traffic and the lighting modules can be adjusted to make the dormant lighting modules enter the working state again.

[0184] In one example, as Figure 7 shown, the process of controlling the cancellation of dormancy of the lighting modules in the AAU is described, including:

[0185] Step 701: Enable the subscription interface with the wireless controller.

[0186] Step 702: Receive the fourth information sent by the wireless controller through the subscription interface.

[0187] Here, when the total service traffic transmitted by multiple lighting modules in the AAU is greater than n×B - y, receive the fourth information sent by the wireless controller through the subscription interface.

[0188] Among them, n represents the number of lighting modules in the working state in the AAU; B represents the service traffic transmitted by any one of the multiple lighting modules; y represents the second available traffic.

[0189] Step 703: Determine whether the number of lighting modules in the working state in the AAU is less than N; when it is determined that the number of lighting modules in the working state in the AAU is less than N, execute Step 704.

[0190] Among them, N is the total number of lighting modules in the AAU.

[0191] Step 704: Invoke the interface with the fronthaul controller and instruct the fronthaul controller to turn on the lighting modules to be dormant.

[0192] In one example, as Figure 8 shown, the process of the orchestrator / collaborator interacting with the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller is described, including:

[0193] Step 801: Enable the subscription interface with the wireless controller.

[0194] Step 802: Receive a limit-exceeding notification sent by a wireless controller.

[0195] Step 803: Determine the lighting module that has been deactivated from sleep mode, and send the fifth information to the forward control.

[0196] Here, the orchestrator / orchestrator interacts with the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller to control the light-collecting module in the AAU to cancel sleep mode, which has the following advantages:

[0197] (1) When the total service traffic on the AAU side is high, the lighting module is controlled to cancel the sleep state to ensure the normal forwarding of service traffic.

[0198] (2) Adaptive sleep cancellation of the lighting module is achieved through coordination between the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller.

[0199] By adopting the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, when the total business traffic on the AAU side is low, the adaptive sleep of the light-collecting module is realized by coordinating between the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller; when the total business traffic on the AAU side is high, the adaptive sleep cancellation of the light-collecting module is realized by coordinating between the wireless controller and the fronthaul controller.
