Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and particularly to a method, an apparatus, a base station, and a storage medium for energy saving of a base station. Background Art

[0002] With the development of communication technologies, the distribution of base stations for the 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G) is becoming wider and wider. While providing higher-quality network services for people, the energy consumption of base stations also increases accordingly. Currently, in order to reduce the energy consumption of base stations, the base stations can be set to an energy-saving state during a fixed time period. For example, the base stations can be set to the energy-saving state from 00:00 to 5:00 at night.

[0003] However, the network demands of users served by the base stations are dynamically changing. There may be a situation where there are more active users within a fixed time period and fewer active users outside the fixed time period. It can be seen that the current energy-saving method of the base stations does not match the actual service conditions of the base stations and the network demands of users. Summary of the Invention

[0070] Advantageous effects of the embodiments of the present invention:

[0071] With the above technical solution, compared with the prior art in which the base station can only perform energy saving within a fixed time period, in the embodiment of the present application, the base station can dynamically determine whether energy saving needs to be performed on the base station according to the load data within each specified detection period, that is, it can determine whether the base station meets the preset energy-saving condition according to the user data and traffic data of the base station within the specified detection period. When the base station meets the preset energy-saving condition, energy saving is performed on the base station according to the energy-saving ratio. Since the user data and traffic data within the specified detection period can reflect the actual load situation of the base station, it can accurately determine whether energy saving needs to be performed on the base station. And since the energy-saving ratio is determined according to the traffic data of the base station, performing energy saving on the base station according to the energy-saving ratio can make the processing capacity of the base station after energy saving match the load data of the base station. Even if the network requirements of users change, the base station can be dynamically energy-saving through this method, so that the processing capacity of the base station matches the actual service situation of the base station and the network requirements of users.

[0072] Of course, it is not necessary for any product or method implementing the present invention to achieve all the above advantages simultaneously. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0079] In the embodiments of the present invention, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after

[0080] In the embodiments of this application, the term "plurality" means two or more, and other quantifiers are similar

[0081] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application

[0082] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application can be applied to 5G systems. For example, 5G New Radio (NR) systems. Both of these systems include terminal devices and network devices. The system may also include a core network part, such as an Evolved Packet System (EPS), a 5G System (5GS), etc

[0083] The network device involved in the embodiments of this application can be a base station, which can include multiple cells that provide services to terminals. Depending on the specific application scenarios, the base station can also be referred to as an access point, or it can be a device in the access network that communicates with wireless terminal devices through one or more sectors over the air interface, or other names. The network device can be used to mutually replace the received air frames and Internet Protocol (IP) packets, and act as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, where the rest of the access network can include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network device can also coordinate the attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network device involved in the embodiments of this application can be a 5G base station (gNB) in a 5G network architecture (next generation system), which can be an indoor base station, an outdoor macro base station, etc., and is not limited in the embodiments of this application. In some network architectures, the network device can include a centralized unit (CU) node and a distributed unit (DU) node, and the centralized unit and the distributed unit can also be arranged separately geographically.

[0084] To solve the problem that the energy-saving method of the base station does not match the actual service situation of the base station and the network requirements of users, the embodiments of this application provide a method for base station energy saving. This method can be applied to a base station, and the method includes: obtaining the load data of the base station within a specified detection period, where the load data includes the user data and traffic data of the base station; determining whether the base station meets the preset energy-saving conditions according to the user data and traffic data of the base station. If the base station meets the preset energy-saving conditions, then determine the energy-saving ratio according to the load data, and then save energy for the base station according to the energy-saving ratio. Compared with the prior art where the base station can only save energy within a fixed time period, in the embodiments of this application, the base station can dynamically determine whether energy saving is required according to the load data within each specified detection period, that is, it can determine whether the base station meets the preset energy-saving conditions according to the user data and traffic data of the base station within the specified detection period. When the base station meets the preset energy-saving conditions, save energy for the base station according to the energy-saving ratio. Since the user data and traffic data within the specified detection period can reflect the actual load situation of the base station, it can accurately determine whether energy saving is required for the base station. And since the energy-saving ratio is determined according to the traffic data of the base station, saving energy for the base station according to the energy-saving ratio can make the processing capacity of the base station after energy saving match the load data of the base station. Even if the network requirements of users change, the base station can be dynamically energy-saving through this method, making the processing capacity of the base station match the actual service situation of the base station and the network requirements of users.

[0085] The following describes in detail the method for base station energy saving provided by the embodiments of this application.

[0086] As Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for base station energy saving, and the method includes the following steps:

[0087] S101. Obtain the load data of the base station within a specified detection period, where the load data includes user data and traffic data of the base station.

[0088] Among them, the specified detection period is a detection period set based on empirical values. Optionally, a dynamic energy saving switch can be set for the base station. When the dynamic energy saving switch is turned on, the base station can determine whether energy saving is required for the base station based on the load data within each specified detection period. The load data can reflect the load condition of the base station.

[0089] S102. Determine whether the base station meets the preset energy saving conditions according to the user data and traffic data of the base station.

[0090] Among them, the smaller the load of the base station characterized by the load data of the base station within the specified detection period, the more energy saving is required for the base station.

[0091] S103. If the base station meets the preset energy saving conditions, determine the energy saving ratio according to the traffic data.

[0092] S104. Perform energy saving on the base station according to the energy saving ratio.

[0093] With the above technical solution, compared with the prior art in which the base station can only perform energy saving within a fixed time period, in the embodiment of the present application, the base station can dynamically determine whether energy saving is required for the base station according to the load data within each specified detection period, that is, it can determine whether the base station meets the preset energy saving conditions according to the user data and traffic data of the base station within the specified detection period. When the base station meets the preset energy saving conditions, energy saving is performed on the base station according to the energy saving ratio. Since the user data and traffic data within the specified detection period can reflect the actual load condition of the base station, it can accurately determine whether energy saving is required for the base station. And since the energy saving ratio is determined according to the traffic data of the base station, energy saving the base station according to the energy saving ratio can make the processing capacity of the base station after energy saving match the load data of the base station. Even if the network requirements of users change, the base station can be dynamically energy-saving through this method, so that the processing capacity of the base station matches the actual service condition of the base station and the network requirements of users.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present application, the specified detection period includes a plurality of sub-periods. The user data includes the number of Radio Resource Control (RRC) connections and the number of activated Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) of the base station in each sub-period, and the traffic data includes the Radio Link Control (RLC) traffic of the base station in each sub-period.

[0095] As an example, the specified detection period can be 90 minutes, and each sub-period can be 15 minutes. During the operation of the base station, the number of RRC connections, the number of activated DRBs, and the RLC traffic in each sub-period will be recorded. The base station can obtain the number of RRC connections, the number of activated DRBs, and the RLC traffic in each sub-period included in the specified detection period that has been recorded.

[0096] As Figure 2 shown, the above S102, determining whether the base station meets the preset energy-saving conditions according to the user data and traffic data of the base station, includes the following steps:

[0097] S201. Determine whether the number of RRC connections in each sub-period of the specified detection period is greater than or equal to the RRC threshold value, and whether the number of activated DRBs in each sub-period of the specified detection period is greater than or equal to the DRB threshold value.

[0098] If the judgment result is yes, that is, the number of RRC connections in each sub-period of the specified detection period is greater than or equal to the RRC threshold value, and the number of activated DRBs is greater than the DRB threshold value, then execute S202; if the judgment result is no, that is, there is a sub-period in the specified detection period where the number of RRC connections is less than the RRC threshold value, or there is a sub-period where the number of activated DRBs is less than the DRB threshold value, then execute S203.

[0099] For example, the specified detection period includes 6 sub-periods. The base station can compare the number of RRC connections in each sub-period with the RRC threshold value and compare the number of activated DRBs in each sub-period with the DRB threshold value. If in the 6 sub-periods, the number of RRC connections in each sub-period is greater than or equal to the RRC threshold value, and the number of activated DRBs in each sub-period is greater than or equal to the DRB threshold value, it means that the current load of the base station is large and energy saving should not be performed, so execute S202.

[0100] On the contrary, if there is a sub-period where the number of RRC connections is less than the RRC threshold value, or there is a sub-period where the number of activated DRBs is less than the DRB threshold value, it means that during the current specified detection period, the load of the base station is small at some times, so S203 can be executed to further judge the load situation of the base station.

[0101] Among them, the RRC threshold and the DRB threshold can be set according to empirical values.

[0102] S202. Determine that the base station does not meet the preset energy-saving conditions.

[0103] Among them, if the base station does not meet the preset energy-saving conditions, the process ends and the subsequent steps are not continued.

[0104] S203. Determine whether the RLC traffic in each sub-period of the specified detection period is less than the RLC traffic threshold. If so, execute S204; if not, execute S202.

[0105] Among them, the RLC traffic can reflect the size of the actual traffic carried by the base station currently. If the RLC traffic in each sub-period within the specified detection period is less than the RLC traffic threshold, it means that the actual traffic carried by the base station is small, and energy saving can be performed on this base station. If there is any sub-period within the specified detection period where the RLC traffic is greater than or equal to the RLC traffic threshold, energy saving is not performed on this base station temporarily to avoid affecting the service quality of the traffic carried by the base station.

[0106] S204. Determine that the base station meets the preset energy-saving conditions.

[0107] Using this method, since the number of RRC connections can represent the number of terminals connected to the base station, and the number of activated DRBs represents the number of radio data bearers established between the base station and the terminals, by comparing whether the number of RRC connections in each sub-period is greater than or equal to the RRC threshold and comparing whether the number of activated DRBs is greater than or equal to the DRB threshold, it is possible to accurately determine whether the base station needs to be energy-saving according to the number of terminals currently served by the base station and the traffic currently carried, and it is possible to avoid energy-saving of the base station when both the number of RRC connections and the number of activated DRBs are large, thus avoiding affecting the service quality of the base station.

[0108] Furthermore, if it is determined that both the number of terminals served by the base station and the traffic currently carried are small, then determine whether the RLC traffic of the base station in each sub-period is less than the traffic threshold. When it is determined that the RLC traffic of the base station in each sub-period is less than the traffic threshold, it is determined that the base station meets the preset energy-saving conditions. Compared with energy-saving of the base station in a fixed time period, the embodiment of the present application can determine whether the base station meets the preset energy-saving conditions according to the actual traffic situation of the base station, and can more accurately perform energy-saving on the base station without affecting the traffic.

[0109] In another embodiment of the present application, after determining that the load data meets the preset energy-saving conditions, in S102 above, determining the energy-saving ratio according to the traffic data can be implemented as:

[0110] Determine the energy-saving ratio based on the RLC traffic and the traffic threshold value in the last sub-cycle within the specified detection period.

[0111] Among them, the energy-saving ratio = 1 - (RLC traffic in the last sub-cycle within the specified detection period / traffic threshold value).

[0112] In the embodiments of the present application, the traffic threshold value can be set according to empirical values. By adopting the traffic threshold value in the embodiments of the present application, the value range of the energy-saving ratio can be 30% to 70%.

[0113] After determining the energy-saving ratio, a preset energy-saving method can be adopted to save energy for the base station according to the energy-saving ratio.

[0114] The preset energy-saving method can be channel shutdown, cell shutdown, or symbol shutdown. That is to say, the base station can be shut down for channels, cells, or symbols according to the energy-saving ratio. Of course, the preset energy-saving method is not limited to this, and other methods for saving energy for the base station in related technologies are also applicable to the present application.

[0115] Among them, cell shutdown means that for a multi-frequency network under the same system or in the case of 4G / 5G co-mode base station coverage, when the load in the cell is low, some cells are shut down while ensuring the traffic demand. In the embodiments of the present application, some cells can be shut down according to the energy-saving ratio.

[0116] Symbol shutdown means that when there is no valid data transmission in the downlink symbol, the radio frequency hardware such as the power amplifier is turned off during the remaining time period without effective information transmission to reduce the static power consumption. In the embodiments of the present application, the radio frequency devices can be shut down according to the energy-saving ratio. Among them, the effective time granularity of symbol shutdown is at the microsecond level.

[0117] Channel shutdown means that when the cell load is low, the channels of the Active Antenna Unit (AAU) are turned off at different levels to achieve the effect of saving energy for the base station. For example, it is reduced from 64 channels to 48 channels, or even to 16 channels. Among them, the time granularity required to turn off or turn on the channels is at the second level.

[0118] As an example, if the preset energy-saving method is channel shutdown, taking a 64-channel base station as an example, every 16 channels are grouped as one group. When the energy-saving ratio is 33%, the base station needs to turn off 64 * 33% = 21 channels. Since the base station channels are grouped, 16 channels of the base station AAU are selected to be turned off to achieve energy saving for the base station.

[0119] By adopting this method, the energy-saving ratio is determined according to the actual RLC traffic of the base station, and then cell shutdown, symbol shutdown or channel shutdown is performed according to the energy-saving ratio, so that the base station after energy-saving can still work according to the current traffic volume carried, and the service will not be affected by energy-saving. That is, the energy-saving ratio of the base station is matched with the RLC traffic of the base station, and energy-saving of the base station can be achieved without affecting the service.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to avoid frequent energy-saving of the base station, the target energy-saving duration can be adjusted according to the number of consecutive energy-saving times. After the process shown in Figure 2 if it is determined that the base station meets the preset energy-saving condition, the method further includes:

[0121] If the base station meets the preset energy-saving condition, the energy-saving times of the base station are incremented by one, and then it is determined whether the energy-saving times of the base station are greater than or equal to the preset times.

[0122] If so, the target energy-saving duration is determined to be the sum of the previous energy-saving duration of the base station and the penalty hysteresis duration; if not, the target energy-saving duration is determined to be the initial energy-saving duration.

[0123] If the energy-saving times of the base station are greater than or equal to the preset times, it means that the base station needs to be energy-saving in multiple consecutive specified detection periods, that is, the base station is in a low-load state for a long time. Therefore, the energy-saving duration of the base station can be increased. Suppose the energy-saving times of the base station is 3 times, the preset times is 3 times, the initial duration of the base station is L1, and the penalty hysteresis duration is C1. Then the target energy-saving duration of the base station is determined to be L2 = L1 + C1. For another example, if the energy-saving times of the base station is 4 times, then the target energy-saving duration of the base station is determined to be L3 = L2 + C1.

[0124] By adopting this method, if the energy-saving times of the base station are greater than or equal to the preset times, it means that the base station is in a low-load state for a long time. By setting the penalty hysteresis duration, the energy-saving duration of the base station can be extended, and as the number of consecutive energy-saving times of the base station increases, the energy-saving duration of the base station will become longer and longer, realizing dynamic adjustment of the energy-saving duration. And because the energy-saving duration of the base station is extended, it is equivalent to delaying the time when the base station determines whether it meets the preset energy-saving condition according to the load data next time, increasing the time interval for resource detection of the base station, avoiding frequent resource detection of the base station, saving the processing resources of the base station, and reducing the operating load of the base station. And it avoids frequent turning on and off of the energy-saving of the base station, avoiding frequent cell switching of the terminal, and ensuring service quality.

[0125] Accordingly, after determining the target energy-saving duration through the above embodiments, the base station can be energy-saving according to the target energy-saving duration. After the energy-saving duration of the base station reaches the target energy-saving duration, the energy-saving of the base station is stopped, and the duration of the specified detection period is updated. Then, after reaching the updated duration of the specified detection period, return to S101 above to determine whether to perform energy-saving on the base station according to the load data within the updated specified detection period.

[0126] In the embodiment of the present application, within the target energy-saving duration, the base station is energy-saving according to the energy-saving ratio. After reaching the target energy-saving duration, the base station needs to be restored to the non-energy-saving state, and then it is dynamically determined whether the base station needs to enter the energy-saving state again according to the load data of the base station within the next specified detection period.

[0127] That is to say, assuming that the duration of the specified detection period is 90 minutes, after stopping the energy-saving of the base station, assuming that the duration of the specified detection period is updated to 75 minutes, then after the base station works normally for 75 minutes, the load data of the base station within these 75 minutes is obtained, and it is determined again whether the base station meets the preset energy-saving conditions. By doing so in a loop, dynamic energy-saving of the base station can be achieved.

[0128] Among them, updating the duration of the specified detection period includes:

[0129] Determine the difference between the current duration of the specified detection period and the first preset duration; if the difference is greater than the second preset duration, update the duration of the specified detection period to the difference; if the difference is less than or equal to the second preset duration, update the duration of the specified detection period to the second preset duration.

[0130] That is to say, each time energy-saving is performed on the base station, the duration of the specified detection period is reduced by the first preset duration, but the duration of the specified detection period cannot be less than the second preset duration.

[0131] In the embodiment of the present application, the duration of the specified detection period can be updated by the following formula:

[0132] T n =T (n-1) -S1, where T n is the updated duration of the specified detection period, T (n-1) is the current duration of the specified detection period, S1 is the first preset duration, n is the number of energy-saving times, and n is greater than or equal to 1. And T n cannot be less than the second preset duration.

[0133] For example, the second preset duration can be 30 minutes, that is, if the duration of the specified detection period is shortened to 30 minutes, the duration of the specified detection period will not be updated continuously. This can avoid the inaccurate judgment of the load condition of the base station caused by the unstable load condition of the base station in the short term, so as to more accurately determine the load condition of the base station.

[0134] In the embodiment of the present application, after determining that energy saving is required for the base station according to the load data of a specified detection period, it indicates that the load of the base station is small during this period. After the base station performs energy saving according to the energy saving duration, the energy saving of the base station can be stopped. It is equivalent to making the base station continue to work for a period of time in the non-energy-saving state, which can avoid the impact on the services of the base station caused by long-term energy saving of the base station. After the working duration of the base station in the non-energy-saving state reaches the duration of the updated specified detection period, the base station determines whether to perform energy saving according to the load data within the updated specified detection period, thereby realizing the determination of whether to perform energy saving according to the latest load data, making the energy saving of the base station more refined, and maximizing the energy saving of the base station according to actual needs, reducing the power consumption of the base station.

[0135] In another embodiment of the present application, if it is determined that the load data does not meet the preset energy saving condition, the energy saving times of the base station are cleared, the duration of the specified detection period is set to the initial value of the detection period duration, and the above S101 is returned.

[0136] The method for base station energy saving provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below in combination with a specific scenario, as Figure 3 shown, the method includes:

[0137] S301. When the dynamic energy saving switch of the base station is turned on, the base station sets the energy saving detection time T1, the RRC threshold R, the DRB threshold D, the traffic threshold M, the energy saving setting duration L1, the detection period shortening threshold S1, and the penalty hysteresis duration C1, and starts timing when all parameter values are in the initial state.

[0138] Among them, the energy saving detection time T1 is the duration of the specified detection period, the energy saving setting duration L is the initial energy saving duration, and the detection period shortening threshold S is the first preset duration in the above embodiment.

[0139] S302. When the timing value reaches the energy saving detection time, obtain the number of RRC connections, the number of DRB activations, and the RLC traffic in each sub-period within this timing period of the base station.

[0140] S303. Judge whether the number of RRC connections in each sub-period reaches the RRC threshold R, and judge whether the number of DRB activations in each sub-period reaches the DRB threshold D.

[0141] If all the judgment results are yes, then execute S304; if any judgment result is no, then execute S305.

[0142] S304. Clear all counters and return to the initial state.

[0143] S305. Judge whether the RLC traffic in each sub - period has reached the traffic threshold M.

[0144] If so, then execute S304; if not, then execute S306.

[0145] S306. Determine the energy - saving ratio according to the RLC traffic and the traffic threshold M in the last sub - period, perform energy - saving on the base station according to the energy - saving ratio, set the energy - saving duration as L1, and the energy - saving times N = 1.

[0146] Among them, the RLC traffic in the last sub - period is the RLC traffic of the last granularity within the time period of this timing of the base station. One granularity is one sub - period. For example, the duration of one granularity can be 15 minutes.

[0147] S307. After reaching the energy - saving duration L1, set the detection period to be shortened to T2, T2 = T1 - S1, and return to the initial state to start timing again.

[0148] It can be understood that after starting timing again, when the timing duration reaches T2, then execute S302.

[0149] If it is determined for the second time that energy - saving needs to be performed on the base station, then set the energy - saving duration as L1 and the energy - saving times N = 2. After the energy - saving duration L1 for the second time of energy - saving on the base station, set the detection period to be shortened to T3, T3 = T2 - S1. Then return to the initial state again to start timing.

[0150] When the timing duration reaches T3, if it is determined for the third time that energy - saving needs to be performed on the base station and the energy - saving times = 3 and energy - saving penalty is carried out, then set the energy - saving duration as L2 = L1 - C1.

[0151] The following is an illustration of the Figure 3 flow shown with a specific example. Assume that after turning on the dynamic energy - saving switch, the base station sets the energy - saving detection time T1 as 90 minutes, sets the RRC threshold R = 10, the DRB threshold D = 15, the traffic threshold M = 1G, L1 = 120 minutes, S1 = 15 minutes, C1 = 30 minutes, sets the energy - saving form as channel shutdown (taking 64 channels as an example), and the base station starts timing.

[0152] When the timing reaches 90 minutes, the base station obtains the number of RRC connections, the number of DRB activations, and the RLC traffic every 15 minutes within 90 minutes.

[0153] If the number of RRC connections of the base station is greater than or equal to 10 and the number of DRB activations is greater than or equal to 15 within every 15 minutes, it is determined that the base station does not perform energy saving, and all counters and timers are cleared.

[0154] If, among the load data obtained by the base station, the number of RRC connections of the base station is less than 10 within a certain 15 - minute period, or the number of DRB activations of the base station is less than 15, it is determined whether the RLC traffic of the base station is greater than 1G within every 15 minutes. If so, it is determined that energy saving is required for the base station; if not, it is determined that energy saving is not required for the base station, and all counters and timers are cleared.

[0155] Suppose that within the above - mentioned 90 minutes, the RLC traffic of the base station in the last granularity (the last 15 minutes) is 700M. Then the proportion of the used traffic at this time is 70% of the traffic threshold M (700M / 1G). Then it can be determined that the energy - saving proportion is 1 - 70% = 30%. Then the base station can close 16 channels according to this energy - saving proportion.

[0156] If the RLC traffic of the base station in the last granularity is 300M, it can be determined that the energy - saving proportion is 70%. At this time, the base station can close 48 channels.

[0157] After the base station closes the channels, the base station enters a 120 - minute energy - saving time, and the timer starts timing the energy - saving duration. And at this time, the count of the energy - saving times is N = 1.

[0158] After the energy - saving duration reaches 120 minutes, the base station stops energy - saving, that is, re - opens the closed channels, and starts timing the second detection period of 75 minutes (90 - 15 = 75). After the timing reaches 75 minutes, the base station determines whether the base station meets the preset energy - saving conditions according to the number of RRC connections, the number of DRB activations, and the RLC traffic within every 15 minutes of these 75 minutes. If not, all counters and timers are cleared, and the 90 - minute timing starts again; if so, the energy - saving proportion is determined, and the count of the energy - saving times N = 2 is set, and the base station enters 120 - minute energy - saving again according to the re - determined energy - saving proportion.

[0159] After the second 120 - minute energy - saving, the base station stops energy - saving and starts timing the third detection period of 60 minutes (75 - 15 = 60). After the timing reaches 60 minutes, the base station determines whether the base station meets the preset energy - saving conditions according to the number of RRC connections, the number of DRB activations, and the RLC traffic within every 15 minutes of these 60 minutes. If not, all counters and timers are cleared, and the 90 - minute timing starts again; if so, the count of the energy - saving times N = 3 is set, and energy - saving punishment is required, and the base station enters 150 - minute energy - saving according to the energy - saving proportion.

[0160] It can be seen that for each consecutive energy saving operation, the detection period is shortened by 15 minutes. However, the time of the detection period cannot be lower than 30 minutes. If, after consecutive energy saving operations are performed multiple times in the above manner, the calculated detection period is lower than 30 minutes, the detection period will be set to 30 minutes. And if consecutive energy saving is still required later, the subsequent detection period will not be shortened. Instead, for each additional energy saving operation, the energy saving duration will increase by 30 minutes.

[0161] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to determine whether to perform energy saving based on the number of users and real-time traffic, enabling the base station to dynamically enter the energy-saving state. Compared with setting the base station to the energy-saving state during a fixed time period, the energy-saving method of the embodiment of the present application is more in line with the load situation of the base station, and there is no need for manual setting, which can save labor costs. Moreover, by setting the energy-saving ratio according to the RLC traffic, greater energy saving can be achieved, reducing the power consumption of the base station. And because the energy-saving ratio is adapted to the actual RLC traffic, the energy saving is made more refined through the setting of the energy-saving penalty duration, avoiding frequent turning on and off of energy saving and minimizing the impact on users.
