Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a base station energy-saving control method, apparatus, storage medium, and program product. Background Art

[0002] Compared with 4G base stations (Evolved Node B, hereinafter referred to as eNBs), 5G base stations (next generation NodeB, hereinafter referred to as gNBs) have 3 to 4 times the transmission power and a smaller coverage area. Therefore, radio frequency shutdown energy saving is an important function of 5G base stations. For an unenergy-saving 5G base station, if its load reaches the overload threshold, it will wake up adjacent energy-saving base stations.

[0003] In one case, if base station 1 is at the edge of a low load state and base station 2 is at the edge of a high load state, and base station 1 and base station 2 are adjacent to each other. After base station 1 enters the energy-saving state, base station 2 will wake up base station 1 due to overload. And since base station 1 is at the edge of a low load state, it will enter the energy-saving state again, causing base station 2 to be overloaded again and wake up base station 1, that is, base station 1 frequently performs energy-saving and wake-up operations. Since the shutdown and startup of radio frequency are time-consuming, base station 1 frequently performs energy-saving and wake-up operations, causing some users managed by base station 1 to be frequently released, which brings inconvenience to users' Internet access.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] It should be noted that the cells managed by 5G base stations have a low load threshold (or energy-saving threshold) and an over-load threshold for user equipment. The over-load threshold needs to be a certain multiple or more of the low load threshold to prevent unnecessary activation of adjacent cells. For example, the low load threshold is 6 and the over-load threshold is 19.

[0041] When the number of user equipments managed by a 5G base station in a cell is lower than the low-load threshold, the cell managed by the 5G base station enters the energy-saving state, and the user equipments are released to adjacent cells. When the number of user equipments in the overloaded cell managed by the 5G base station exceeds the overload threshold, a wake-up instruction is sent to the adjacent cell to wake up the adjacent cell from the energy-saving state to the normal state, and a certain proportion of user equipments in the overloaded cell are released to the adjacent cell.

[0042] In addition, the process for the cell managed by the 5G base station to enter the energy-saving state is as follows: when the cell managed by the 5G base station enters the energy-saving time, the energy-saving hysteresis timer is started. Before the timing of the energy-saving hysteresis timer ends, if the number of user equipments and the utilization rate of PRB (physical resource block) in the cell managed by the 5G base station are always lower than the low-load threshold, the cell enters the energy-saving state; otherwise, the energy-saving hysteresis timer is restarted until the cell exits the energy-saving time.

[0043] In one embodiment, the number of user equipments in the cell of the existing base station 1 is 5, which is at the edge of the low-load state; while the number of user equipments in the cell of the base station 2 is 15, which is at the edge of the high-load state. And when the base station 1 and the base station 2 are adjacent cells. Assume that the low-load threshold is 6 and the overload threshold is 19 at this time. After the base station 1 enters the energy-saving state, 5 user equipments in the cell of the base station 1 are released to the base station 2. At this time, the number of user equipments in the base station 2 is 5 + 15 = 20. At this time, the base station 2 will wake up the base station 1 due to overload. Then 5 user equipments in the cell of the base station 2 are released to the cell of the base station 1 again. And the number of user equipments in the cell of the base station 1 is 5, which is at the edge of the low-load state and will enter the energy-saving state again, resulting in the base station 2 being overloaded again and waking up the base station 1, that is, the base station 1 has frequent energy-saving and wake-up operations.

[0044] In view of this, the present invention provides a base station energy-saving control method, device, storage medium and program product to solve the defect in the prior art that the base station frequently performs energy-saving and wake-up operations, causing some users managed by the base station to be frequently released, which brings inconvenience to users' Internet access.

[0045] The following combines Figures 1-5 to describe the base station energy-saving control method of the present invention.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 A base station energy-saving control method includes:

[0047] Step 100: Determine that the target cell managed by the first base station enters the energy-saving state, and start the first waiting wake-up timer.

[0048] The electronic device determines that the target cell managed by the first base station enters the energy-saving state and starts the first waiting wake-up timer. The target cell refers to the cell where the user equipment managed by the first base station is below the low-load threshold. For example, when the low-load threshold is 6, the target cell can be the cell where the user equipment managed by the first base station is less than 6.

[0049] The first waiting wake-up timer is a timer set in the embodiment of the present invention, used to determine whether the target cell is woken up within the expected time.

[0050] Step 400: Determine that a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is received before the first waiting wake-up timer expires, and judge the relationship between the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time.

[0051] The electronic device determines that a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is received before the first waiting wake-up timer expires, and judges the relationship between the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time.

[0052] Among them, the overloaded cell refers to the cell where the user equipment managed by the second base station exceeds the low overload threshold. For example, when the overload threshold is 19, the overloaded cell can be the cell where the user equipment managed by the second base station is greater than 19. And the second base station is an adjacent base station of the first base station, and the target cell is an adjacent cell of the overloaded cell.

[0053] It should be noted that the number of second base stations adjacent to the first base station in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to 1. Similarly, the number of overloaded cells adjacent to the target cell in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to 1.

[0054] The energy-saving hysteresis time is the time used to judge whether the target cell enters the energy-saving state. Before the energy-saving hysteresis timer expires, if the user equipment of the cell managed by the 5G base station has been below the low-load threshold, it enters the energy-saving state; otherwise, if the cell managed by the 5G base station enters the normal state.

[0055] When a wake-up instruction is received during the energy-saving time of the target cell, the conditions for the target cell to enter energy saving next time are modified. That is, the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell is extended. This makes it more difficult for the target cell to enter the energy-saving state. Since the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell cannot be increased indefinitely, it is necessary to set the relationship between the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time. When the relationship between the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time satisfies a certain relationship, the relationship between the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time.

[0056] Step 500: Determine that the energy-saving hysteresis time is less than the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, and extend the energy-saving hysteresis time to obtain an updated energy-saving hysteresis time;

[0057] The electronic device determines that the energy-saving hysteresis time is less than the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, and extends the energy-saving hysteresis time to obtain an updated energy-saving hysteresis time. When the energy-saving hysteresis time is less than the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, this condition is met at this time, and the electronic device extends the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer to obtain an updated energy-saving hysteresis time. Among them, the updated energy-saving hysteresis time can be an integer multiple of the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer.

[0058] By extending the energy-saving hysteresis time to obtain an updated energy-saving hysteresis time, the energy-saving hysteresis time becomes longer before the target cell enters the energy-saving state next time. That is, it is easier for the target cell to receive wake-up instructions from adjacent cells before entering the energy-saving state next time, and it is more difficult to enter the energy-saving state, thus avoiding frequent entry into energy saving. This avoids the frequent turning off and on of the radio frequency (i.e., the active antenna unit) of the first base station, avoids the frequent release of some users managed by the base station, and reduces the impact on user Internet access.

[0059] By determining that the target cell managed by the first base station enters the energy-saving state, receiving a wake-up instruction from the overloaded cell managed by the second base station, determining that the energy-saving hysteresis time is less than the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, and extending the energy-saving hysteresis time to obtain an updated energy-saving hysteresis time. Thus, when the target cell is awakened by the overloaded cell in the present invention, by extending the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell, the energy-saving hysteresis time of the target cell is made more reasonable, the next energy-saving behavior of the target cell is controlled, unnecessary energy-saving or wake-up operations are effectively reduced, the frequent release of some users managed by the base station is avoided, and the inconvenience to user Internet access is reduced.

[0060] In other aspects of the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2, Step 300, the step of extending the energy-saving hysteresis time to obtain an updated energy-saving hysteresis time includes: determining that the updated energy-saving hysteresis time is the minimum value between K times the energy-saving hysteresis time and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, where K is greater than 1.

[0061] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 , the electronic device determines that the updated energy-saving hysteresis time is the minimum value between K times the energy-saving hysteresis time and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time. Wherein, the updated energy-saving hysteresis time being the minimum value between K times the energy-saving hysteresis time and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time is expressed by the formula as T1 = min(K * T1, T1_Max);

[0062] Wherein, T1 on the left side of the formula represents the updated energy-saving hysteresis time, K * T1 on the right side of the formula represents K times the energy-saving hysteresis time, T1_Max represents the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, and min(,) represents taking the minimum value between K times the energy-saving hysteresis time and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time.

[0063] It should be noted that Figure 2 the timeout of the first waiting wake-up timer in

[0064] Since the base station energy-saving control method of the embodiment of the present invention can be used in the energy-saving control of the first base station being woken up multiple times by overloaded cells of adjacent base stations, in the initial stage of multiple wake-ups, K times the energy-saving hysteresis time is much smaller than the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time. The updated energy-saving hysteresis time is K times the energy-saving hysteresis time. That is, when the target cell makes the next energy-saving judgment, the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer becomes K times the energy-saving hysteresis time. And after the above-mentioned delay process of the energy-saving hysteresis time for multiple times, K times the final energy-saving hysteresis time may be greater than the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time. By determining that the updated energy-saving hysteresis time is the minimum value between K times the energy-saving hysteresis time and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, when the updated energy-saving hysteresis time is greater than the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, it can be selected to determine that the updated energy-saving hysteresis time is equal to the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time. Avoid calculating that the updated energy-saving hysteresis time is greater than the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time. Thus, ensuring the integrity of the base station energy-saving control process of the target cell.

[0065] In other aspects of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , after Step 400, the step of judging the relationship between the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, further includes:

[0066] Step 600, determine that the energy-saving hysteresis time is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, and end the energy-saving state.

[0067] When the electronic device determines that the energy-saving hysteresis time is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, it indicates that the target cell of the first base station has received the wake-up instructions of the overloaded cell of the second base station multiple times, and the initial energy-saving hysteresis time has been extended multiple times to be greater than or equal to the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time.

[0068] By ending the energy-saving state when the energy-saving hysteresis time is greater than or equal to the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, the target cell does not enter the energy-saving state, avoiding the subsequent release of the user equipment by the target cell to the overloaded cell of the second base station due to energy-saving reconfiguration, resulting in overloading of the cells of the adjacent second base station, triggering unnecessary repeated energy-saving and being immediately awakened. Further avoid the frequent release of some users managed by the base station, reducing the inconvenience to users' Internet access.

[0069] In other aspects of the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , after step 100, where it is determined that the target cell managed by the first base station enters the energy-saving state and the first waiting wake-up timer is started, it further includes:

[0070] Step 200, start the second waiting wake-up timer while starting the first waiting wake-up timer;

[0071] Step 300, determine that a wake-up instruction of the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is received before the second waiting wake-up timer expires, and end the energy-saving state;

[0072] It should be noted that Figure 4 the timeout of the first waiting wake-up timer means that the wake-up instruction of the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is not received before the first waiting wake-up timer expires. The timeout of the second waiting wake-up timer means that the wake-up instruction of the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is not received before the second waiting wake-up timer expires.

[0073] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, a second waiting wake-up timer is added on the basis of the first waiting wake-up timer, and the timing time of the second waiting wake-up timer is less than the timing time of the first waiting wake-up timer. After determining that the target cell managed by the first base station enters the energy-saving state, the embodiment of the present invention simultaneously starts the second waiting wake-up timer and the first waiting wake-up timer while starting the first waiting wake-up timer. If the electronic device determines that a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is received before the timing of the second waiting wake-up timer ends, it means that the target cell is woken up just at the beginning of energy saving. At this time, the electronic device directly turns off the energy-saving capability within the current energy-saving cycle, that is, ends the energy-saving state. This avoids the subsequent situation where the target cell redirects the user equipment to the cell of the second base station due to energy saving, causing the cell of the second base station to be overloaded, triggering unnecessary repeated energy saving and being immediately woken up, and further avoids the frequent release of some users managed by the base station, reducing the inconvenience to users' Internet access.

[0074] In other aspects of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 , after step 200, that is, after starting the second waiting wake-up timer while starting the first waiting wake-up timer, it further includes:

[0075] If it is determined that a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is not received before the timing of the second waiting wake-up timer ends, execute step 400, that is, determine whether a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is received before the timing of the first waiting wake-up timer ends, and judge the relationship between the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time.

[0076] Since the timing time of the second waiting wake-up timer is less than the timing time of the first waiting wake-up timer, if a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is not received before the timing of the second waiting wake-up timer ends, at this time, continue to execute the step of determining whether a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is received before the timing of the first waiting wake-up timer ends, and judge the relationship between the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time.

[0077] By executing the step of determining whether a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is received before the timing of the first waiting wake-up timer ends and judging the relationship between the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time when a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is not received before the timing of the second waiting wake-up timer ends, the integrity of the base station energy-saving control process of the target cell is ensured.

[0078] In other embodiments of the present invention, please refer toFigure 5 , after step 100, determining that the target cell managed by the first base station enters the energy-saving state and starting the first waiting wake-up timer, further includes:

[0079] Step 700, determining that a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is not received before the first waiting wake-up timer expires, and maintaining the energy-saving state.

[0080] Specifically, the electronic device determines that a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is not received before the first waiting wake-up timer expires, that is, there is no adjacent overloaded cell for the target cell, so the wake-up instruction sent by the adjacent overloaded cell is not received, and thus the energy-saving state is continued, that is, the radio frequency of the first base station is turned off to achieve energy saving of the first base station.

[0081] The base station energy-saving control device provided by the present invention will be described below. The base station energy-saving control device described below can be correspondingly referred to the base station energy-saving control method described above.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 6 , a base station energy-saving control device, includes:

[0083] A waiting wake-up module 201, configured to determine that the target cell managed by the first base station enters the energy-saving state and start the first waiting wake-up timer;

[0084] A judgment module 202, configured to determine that a wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is received before the first waiting wake-up timer expires, and judge the relationship between the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time;

[0085] An energy-saving hysteresis time extension module 203, configured to determine that the energy-saving hysteresis time is less than the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, and extend the energy-saving hysteresis time to obtain an updated energy-saving hysteresis time;

[0086] Wherein, the second base station is an adjacent base station of the first base station, and the target cell is an adjacent cell of the overloaded cell.

[0087] The base station energy-saving control device of the present application determines that the target cell managed by the first base station enters the energy-saving state, receives the wake-up instruction of the overloaded cell managed by the second base station, determines that the energy-saving hysteresis time is less than the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, and extends the energy-saving hysteresis time to obtain the updated energy-saving hysteresis time. Therefore, when the target cell is woken up by the overloaded cell in the present invention, by extending the energy-saving hysteresis time of the energy-saving hysteresis timer of the target cell, the energy-saving hysteresis time of the target cell becomes more reasonable, controls the next energy-saving behavior of the target cell, effectively reduces unnecessary energy-saving or wake-up operations of the target cell, avoids frequent release of some users managed by the base station, and reduces the inconvenience to users' Internet access.

[0088] In one embodiment, the energy-saving hysteresis time extension module is used to determine that the updated energy-saving hysteresis time is the minimum value between K times of the energy-saving hysteresis time and the maximum value of the preset energy-saving hysteresis time, where K is greater than 1.

[0094] Wherein, the timing time of the second waiting wake-up timer is less than the timing time of the first waiting wake-up timer.

[0095] In one embodiment, the base station energy-saving control device further includes:

[0097] In one embodiment, the base station energy-saving control device further includes:

[0098] The energy-saving maintenance module is used to determine that no wake-up instruction for the overloaded cell managed by the second base station is received before the first waiting wake-up timer expires, and maintain the energy-saving state.
