[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0038] To facilitate a clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used in the embodiments of this application to distinguish the same or similar items with essentially the same function and effect. Those skilled in the art can understand that the terms "first" and "second" are not intended to limit the quantity or execution order.

[0039] Before providing a detailed introduction to the method for determining energy-efficient communities provided in this application, let me briefly introduce the background of this application.

[0040] With the development of 5G technology, the power consumption of base stations is also increasing exponentially. Due to the dense distribution of 5G base stations and the use of large-scale active antenna arrays, the power consumption of a single base station is 2.5 times that of a traditional 4G base station.

[0041] It is predicted that by 2025, the telecommunications industry will account for 20% of global electricity consumption, and electricity, as the largest operating expense (OPEX) expenditure for operators, will account for at least 15% of operators' total operating costs. Therefore, how to reduce base station power consumption as much as possible without compromising the quality of operator services has become an extremely important aspect for operators.

[0042] Currently, the usage of base stations is as follows: 30% of base stations handle 80% of the call volume, while some base stations with lower call volume continue to operate normally. Once these base stations enter energy-saving mode, it will not affect service quality. Therefore, determining whether a cell within a base station is an energy-saving cell is crucial.

[0043] As described in the background section, existing methods for identifying energy-efficient cells typically determine whether a target cell can enter an energy-saving state based on the load size of the target cell or neighboring cells. However, this method relies on a relatively singular reference dimension.

[0044] Furthermore, judging whether a target cell can enter energy-saving mode solely based on the load size of the target cell or neighboring cells may lead to a decrease in the perceived speed for users.

[0045] Specifically, when a target cell can enter energy-saving mode, user terminals in the target cell may connect to neighboring cells. However, if the perceived speed of user terminals in neighboring cells that help the target cell share traffic is low, the perceived speed of user terminals in the target cell that connect to those neighboring cells may also decrease.

[0046] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a method for determining energy-saving cells. This method can accurately determine whether a target cell is an energy-saving cell based on multiple dimensions, such as the sensing rate of the candidate coverage compensation cell, the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell, and the overlap coverage between the target cell and the candidate coverage compensation cell.

[0047] Furthermore, since this application also considers the perceived rate of user terminals in the candidate coverage compensation cell when determining the energy-saving cell, it can also avoid the problem of reduced perceived rate of user terminals in the target cell after they access the candidate coverage compensation cell after the target cell enters the energy-saving state.

[0048] This method for identifying energy-efficient communities is applicable to systems that identify energy-efficient communities. Figure 1 One structure of this energy-efficient community system is shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the energy-saving community system includes: electronic equipment 101, base station 102-1, base station 102-2 and network management equipment 103.

[0049] The electronic device 101 is communicatively connected to base stations 102-1 and 102-2 and network management device 103, respectively. The network management device 103 is communicatively connected to base stations 102-1 and 102-2, respectively.

[0050] The cells covered by base station 102-1 include cell 1 and cell 2. The cells covered by base station 102-2 include cell 3 and cell 4.

[0051] For example, assume cell 1 is the target cell, and cells 2, 3, and 4 are adjacent cells. Since cells 2, 3, and 4 are neighboring cells of cell 1, terminals in cell 1 may switch to cell 2, to cell 3, or to cell 4. In this case, cells 2, 3, and 4 can also be referred to as handoverable cells of cell 1.

[0052] Next, the electronic device 101 can determine the overlap coverage with the target cell in the switchable cells, and determine the overlapping coverage cells with an overlap coverage greater than a first preset value as candidate coverage compensation cells for the target cell.

[0053] Based on the above example, electronic device 101 can determine that the overlap coverage between cell 2 and cell 1 is 90%, and the overlap coverage between cell 3 and cell 1 is 50%. Assuming the first preset value is 80%, electronic device 101 determines that cell 2 is the candidate coverage compensation cell for cell 1.

[0054] Next, the electronic device 101 can determine whether the target cell is an energy-saving cell based on the perceived rate of the user terminal in the candidate coverage compensation cell, the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell, and the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell.

[0055] Based on the above example, electronic device 101 can determine that the sensing rate of the user terminal in cell 2 is 1.

[0056] Electronic device 101 can determine that the handover ratio from cell 1 to cell 2 is 50%.

[0057] Electronic device 101 can determine that the overlap coverage between cell 1 and cell 2 is 90%.

[0058] In this case, electronic device 101 determines the target value of 2.4 for cell 2 based on the sensing rate of user terminals in cell 2, the handover ratio from cell 1 to cell 2, and the sum of the overlap coverage of cell 1 and cell 2, and determines whether cell 1 is an energy-saving cell based on the target value of 2.4.

[0059] In practical applications, electronic device 101 can connect to multiple base stations, network management device can connect to multiple base stations, and electronic device 101 can connect to multiple network management devices. For ease of understanding, this application uses the following examples: one electronic device 101 connected to one base station 102-1, one electronic device 101 connected to one base station 102-2, one network management device 103 connected to one base station 102-1, one network management device 103 connected to one base station 102-2, and one electronic device 101 connected to one network management device 103.

[0060] Optionally, the physical device of electronic device 101 can be a terminal, a server, or other types of electronic devices.

[0061] Optionally, the physical device of the network management device 103 can be a server or other types of electronic devices.

[0062] Optionally, when the physical device of electronic device 101 is a terminal, the terminal can be a device that provides voice or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. The terminal can communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN). The terminal can be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal, or a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges voice and / or data with the radio access network, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, netbook, or personal digital assistant (PDA).

[0063] Optionally, when the physical devices of electronic device 101 and network management device 103 are servers, the server can be one of the servers in a server cluster (composed of multiple servers), or it can be a chip in the server, or it can be a system-on-a-chip in the server, or it can be implemented by a virtual machine (VM) deployed on a physical machine. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0064] Optionally, base stations 102-1 and 102-2 can be wireless communication base stations or base station controllers, etc. In the embodiments of this application, the base station can be a base station (BTS) in Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a base station (node ​​B) in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), an eNB in ​​Internet of Things (IoT) or Narrowband-Internet of Things (NB-IoT), a base station in a future 5G mobile communication network, or a future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN). The embodiments of this application do not impose any limitations on this.

[0065] The basic hardware structure of electronic devices 101 in the energy-saving community system is similar, both including... Figure 2 or Figure 3 The diagram shows the components included in the energy-saving community device. The following section uses... Figure 2 and Figure 3Taking the energy-saving community determination device shown as an example, the hardware structure of electronic device 101 is introduced.

[0066] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a hardware structure schematic of an energy-saving community determination device provided in an embodiment of this application. The energy-saving community determination device includes a processor 21, a memory 22, a communication interface 23, and a bus 24. The processor 21, memory 22, and communication interface 23 are connected via the bus 24.

[0067] Processor 21 is the control center for determining the energy-saving community device. It can be a single processor or a collective term for multiple processing elements. For example, processor 21 can be a general-purpose central processing unit (CPU) or other general-purpose processors. Among them, the general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor.

[0068] As one embodiment, processor 21 may include one or more CPUs, for example Figure 2 CPU0 and CPU1 are shown in the diagram.

[0069] The memory 22 may be a read-only memory (ROM) or other type of static storage device capable of storing static information and instructions, random access memory (RAM) or other type of dynamic storage device capable of storing information and instructions, or electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), disk storage media or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium capable of carrying or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and accessible by a computer, but is not limited thereto.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the memory 22 can exist independently of the processor 21. The memory 22 can be connected to the processor 21 via a bus 24 and is used to store instructions or program code. When the processor 21 calls and executes the instructions or program code stored in the memory 22, it can implement the energy-saving cell determination method provided in the following embodiments of the present invention.

[0071] In this embodiment, the software programs stored in the memory 22 of the electronic device 101 are different, so the functions implemented by the electronic device 101 are different. The functions performed by each device will be described with reference to the following flowchart.

[0072] In another possible implementation, the memory 22 can also be integrated with the processor 21.

[0073] Communication interface 23 is used to determine whether the energy-saving community device is connected to other devices via a communication network, which may be Ethernet, wireless access network, wireless local area network (WLAN), etc. Communication interface 23 may include a receiving unit for receiving data and a sending unit for sending data.

[0074] Bus 24 can be an industry standard architecture (ISA) bus, a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus, or an extended industry standard architecture (EISA) bus, etc. This bus can be divided into address bus, data bus, control bus, etc. For ease of representation, Figure 2 The bus is represented by a single thick line, but this does not mean that there is only one bus or one type of bus.

[0075] Figure 3 This illustrates another hardware structure for determining an energy-saving community device in an embodiment of the present invention. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the energy-saving community determination device may include a processor 31 and a communication interface 32. The processor 31 is coupled to the communication interface 32.

[0076] The functions of processor 31 can be referred to in the description of processor 21 above. In addition, processor 31 also has a storage function, and can perform the functions of memory 22 mentioned above.

[0077] The communication interface 32 is used to provide data to the processor 31. This communication interface 32 can be an internal interface for determining the energy-saving community device, or it can be an external interface for determining the energy-saving community device (equivalent to communication interface 23).

[0078] It should be pointed out that, Figure 2 (or Figure 3 The structure shown in the diagram does not constitute a limitation on the determination of energy-saving community devices, except... Figure 2 (or Figure 3 In addition to the components shown in the diagram, the energy-saving community determination device may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0079] The method for determining energy-saving communities provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0080] like Figure 4As shown, the method for determining energy-saving cells provided in this application embodiment is applied to electronic devices, and the method for determining energy-saving cells includes: S401-S402.

[0081] S401. The electronic device identifies the overlapping coverage cells of the target cell that have a coverage overlap greater than a first preset value among the switchable cells of the target cell as candidate coverage compensation cells for the target cell.

[0082] Optionally, the electronic device obtains the number of handovers from the target cell to all neighboring cells, and identifies neighboring cells with a handover count greater than a preset number as handoverable cells.

[0083] The preset number of times can be 0 or other values, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0084] Specifically, a handoverable cell refers to the cell after a terminal performs a cell handover. Cell handover means that a user terminal that is currently using network services in a target cell moves from one cell to another, and the serving cell also changes from the original target cell to the new cell.

[0085] In practical applications, to facilitate subsequent use, electronic devices can sort the proportion of the target cell to each available cell and the number of times the target cell to each available cell is switched per unit time from largest to smallest.

[0086] Next, the electronic device can determine the list of handoverable cells for the target cell based on the proportion of handovers from the target cell to each handoverable cell after sorting and the number of handovers from the target cell to each handoverable cell per unit time.

[0087] Optionally, the electronic device determines the handover ratio from the target cell to each available cell based on the number of times the target cell hands over to each available cell within a unit time, and the sum of the number of times the target cell hands over to all available cells within a unit time.

[0088] In practical applications, to facilitate subsequent use, electronic devices can sort the overlap coverage of each overlapping coverage cell with the target cell from largest to smallest.

[0089] Next, the electronic device determines the list of overlapping coverage cells of the target cell based on the overlapping coverage cells whose overlap coverage with the target cell is greater than a first preset value.

[0090] Optionally, the electronic device sends a request to the network management device to obtain measurement report (MR) data of the target cell and neighboring cells. The network management device receives the request and sends the MR data of the target cell and neighboring cells to the electronic device.

[0091] In this case, the electronic device determines the neighboring cells that have a coverage relationship with the target cell as overlapping coverage cells based on the above MR data, and counts the number of collection points in the target cell with radio signal strength greater than the third preset value and the number of collection points in the overlapping coverage cells with radio signal strength greater than the third preset value.

[0092] Next, the electronic device determines the overlap coverage between the target cell and the overlapping coverage cell based on the number of collection points in the target cell whose radio signal strength is greater than the third preset value and the number of collection points in the overlapping coverage cell whose radio signal strength is greater than the third preset value.

[0093] Optionally, one way for the electronic device to determine the overlap coverage between the overlapping coverage cell and the target cell is as follows: the electronic device calculates the overlap coverage between the overlapping coverage cell and the target cell by the ratio of the number of collection points in the overlapping coverage cell with radio signal strength greater than a third preset value to the number of collection points in the target cell with radio signal strength greater than a third preset value.

[0094] Optionally, the electronic device determines the cells shared by the target cell's list of handoverable cells and its list of overlapping coverage cells based on the intersection of the target cell's list of handoverable cells and its list of overlapping coverage cells. In this case, the electronic device adds the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cells and the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cells and the target cell, and sorts them from largest to smallest to obtain the target cell's list of cells with shared traffic, i.e., the list of candidate coverage compensation cells.

[0095] Optionally, the candidate coverage compensation cell can be a cell that, after the target cell has been energy-saving, may have the ability to distribute the service volume of user terminals to the target cell.

[0096] Specifically, the candidate coverage compensation cell is a cell used to help the target cell distribute the service load of user terminals. Therefore, the candidate coverage compensation cell needs to be able to receive access requests from user terminals under the target cell to switch cells, and the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell is greater than a first preset value. This ensures that when the target cell is in energy-saving mode, the candidate coverage compensation cell can play a role in distributing the service load.

[0097] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, assuming cell 1 (i.e., the target cell) has cells 2, 3, and 4 as neighboring cells, since cells 2, 3, and 4 are neighboring cells of cell 1, terminals in cell 1 may switch to cell 2, cells 3, and cells 4. In this case, cells 2, 3, and 4 can also be referred to as handoverable cells of cell 1.

[0098] Next, the electronic equipment can obtain measurement report (MR) data from cell 1 and neighboring cells from the network management equipment, thereby determining that cells 2 and 3 overlap with cell 1, and thus determining that cells 2 and 3 are overlapping coverage cells of cell 1. In this case, the electronic equipment determines the overlap coverage of cells 2 and 3 with cell 1 based on the number of sampling points in cell 1 with signal strength greater than a third preset value, the number of sampling points in cell 2 with signal strength greater than a third preset value, and the number of sampling points in cell 3 with signal strength greater than a third preset value.

[0099] In this scenario, assume the first preset value is 80%, the third preset value is -100 dBm, and the number of sampling points with signal strength greater than -100 dBm in cell 1 is 100, the number of sampling points with signal strength greater than -100 dBm in cell 2 is 90, and the number of sampling points with signal strength greater than -100 dBm in cell 3 is 50.

[0100] As shown above, the overlap coverage between cell 2 and cell 1 is 90%, and the overlap coverage between cell 3 and cell 1 is 50%. The electronic equipment can determine that the overlap coverage between cell 2 and cell 1 is greater than the first preset value, and that cell 2 is a switchable cell for cell 1. Finally, cell 2 can be determined as a candidate coverage compensation cell for cell 1.

[0101] S402. The electronic device determines whether the target cell is an energy-saving cell based on the perceived rate of the user terminal in the candidate coverage compensation cell, the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell, and the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell.

[0102] Optionally, the sensing rate can be the total number of data packets sent and received by the user terminal per unit time.

[0103] Optionally, the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell can be the ratio between the number of handovers from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell per unit time and the number of handovers from the target cell to the available cell.

[0104] Optionally, the overlap coverage can be the percentage of the overlap area between the target cell and the candidate overlapping coverage cells.

[0105] Optionally, "energy-saving community" is used to indicate that the target community can enter an energy-saving state.

[0106] Specifically, because the target cell processes traffic slower when in energy-saving mode compared to when in non-energy-saving mode, alternative coverage compensation cells are needed to distribute the traffic load of the target cell in energy-saving mode. In summary, to determine whether a target cell is energy-saving, it's necessary to assess whether the alternative coverage compensation cells can effectively distribute the target cell's traffic load, and the perceived speed of these alternative coverage compensation cells must be high. This ensures that after the target cell achieves energy saving, user terminals assigned to alternative coverage compensation cells will not experience a decline in user experience due to the lower perceived speed of the alternative coverage compensation cells.

[0107] Specifically, one implementation method for electronic devices to determine whether a target cell is an energy-saving cell based on the perceived rate of user terminals in the candidate coverage compensation cell, the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell, and the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell is as follows: First, preset the weights corresponding to the perceived rate of user terminals in the candidate coverage compensation cell, the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell, and the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell. Then, multiply the perceived rate of user terminals in the candidate coverage compensation cell, the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell, and the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell by the corresponding weights. Finally, add the obtained products to obtain the target value used to determine whether the target cell is an energy-saving cell.

[0108] In this case, when the above target values ​​include at least one target value that is greater than or equal to the second preset value, the electronic device can determine that the corresponding target cell is an energy-saving cell.

[0109] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, assuming cell 2 is a candidate overlapping coverage cell for cell 1, the overlap coverage between cell 2 and cell 1 is 90%, the handover ratio from cell 1 to cell 2 is 50%, the perceived rate of the user terminal in cell 2 is 1, and the second preset value is 2, the target value of cell 2 can be obtained from the above data = 1 + 0.9 + 0.5 = 2.4.

[0110] In this case, the target value of cell 2 is greater than the second preset value, which proves that there is at least one candidate coverage compensation cell in cell 1 with a target value greater than or equal to the second preset value. Therefore, the electronic device can determine that cell 1 is an energy-saving cell.

[0111] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the above method for determining energy-saving communities also includes: S501-S502.

[0112] S501. Electronic devices acquire service-related information of candidate coverage compensation cells.

[0113] The service-related information includes at least one of the following: load information, service traffic information, bandwidth information, frequency point information, scenario information, and transmission mode information.

[0114] Optionally, the load information can be the occupancy rate of the physical resource block (PRB) of the selected coverage compensation cell.

[0115] Optionally, the service traffic information can be the data transmission volume of the candidate coverage cells per unit time.

[0116] Optionally, the bandwidth information can be the maximum number of bytes per second that the candidate coverage cell can process.

[0117] Optionally, the frequency point information can be the center point information of each channel bandwidth in the candidate coverage cell.

[0118] Optionally, the scene information can be the propagation environment of the signal transmission in the candidate coverage cell.

[0119] Optionally, the transmission mode information can be the signal transmission mode information of the radio frequency unit corresponding to the candidate coverage cell, such as single-stream transmission mode and dual-stream transmission mode.

[0120] Specifically, one way for electronic devices to obtain service-related information of candidate coverage compensation cells is as follows: the electronic device sends a unique identifier corresponding to the candidate coverage compensation cell to the network management device. The network management device receives the unique identifier corresponding to the candidate coverage compensation cell and sends the corresponding service-related information of the candidate coverage compensation cell to the electronic device.

[0121] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, electronic device 101 sends the unique identifier code corresponding to cell 2 (i.e., the candidate coverage compensation cell of cell 1) to network management device 103. Network management device 103 receives the unique identifier code corresponding to cell 2 and sends the service-related information of cell 2 to electronic device 101.

[0122] S502. The electronic device inputs service-related information into a pre-trained service relationship model to obtain the perceived rate of user terminals in the candidate coverage compensation cell.

[0123] Optionally, the business relationship model can be a logical operation model established through artificial intelligence algorithms.

[0124] Optionally, artificial intelligence algorithms may include: neural networks, decision trees, and other algorithms.

[0125] Specifically, a service relationship model is first trained in advance using artificial intelligence algorithms. Electronic devices input the load information, service traffic information, bandwidth information, frequency information, scenario information, and transmission mode information of the candidate coverage compensation cells into the trained service relationship model. Through the logical operations of the service relationship model, the perceived rate of user terminals in the candidate coverage compensation cells is obtained.

[0126] For example, the electronic device inputs the load information, service traffic information, bandwidth information, frequency information, scenario information and transmission mode information of cell 2 into the trained service relationship model to obtain the perceived rate of the user terminal in the cell as 1.

[0127] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 ,like Figure 6 As shown, in S402 above, the method by which the electronic device determines whether the target cell is an energy-saving cell based on the perceived rate of the user terminal in the candidate coverage compensation cell, the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell, and the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell specifically includes: S601-S603.

[0128] S601. When there are multiple candidate coverage compensation cells, the electronic device determines the target value of each candidate coverage compensation cell based on the perceived rate of the user terminal in each candidate coverage compensation cell, the handover ratio from each candidate coverage compensation cell to the target cell, and the overlap coverage between each candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell, so as to obtain multiple target values ​​corresponding to multiple candidate coverage compensation cells.

[0129] Optionally, the target value for the candidate coverage compensation cell can be data used to determine the extent to which the candidate coverage cell can effectively share the traffic volume of the target cell after the target cell enters energy-saving mode.

[0130] Specifically, the electronic device multiplies the perceived rate of user terminals in the candidate coverage compensation cell, the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell, and the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell by their corresponding weights. In this case, the sum of the above products is the target value corresponding to the candidate compensation cell.

[0131] S602. When at least one of the multiple target values ​​is greater than or equal to the second preset value, the electronic device determines the target cell as an energy-saving cell.

[0132] Optionally, the second preset value can be a specific value greater than 0.

[0133] Specifically, after determining multiple target values, the electronic device can evaluate each target value. When a target value is less than a second preset value, the corresponding candidate coverage compensation cell is removed. After determining whether each target value is greater than or equal to the second preset value, if at least one target value is greater than or equal to the second preset value, then it is determined that at least one candidate coverage compensation cell exists for the target cell, and the service load can be allocated to the target cell while it is in energy-saving mode. In this case, the target cell entering energy-saving mode will not affect the user experience, therefore the electronic device can determine that the target cell is an energy-saving cell.

[0134] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, assuming the second preset value is 2, the target value of cell 2 (i.e., the candidate coverage compensation cell of cell 1) is 2.4. Since the target value of cell 2 is greater than the second preset value, the electronic device 101 determines that cell 1 is an energy-saving cell.

[0135] S603. When the target value among the multiple target values ​​does not include a target value that is greater than or equal to the second preset value, the electronic device determines that the target cell is a non-energy-saving cell.

[0136] Optionally, "non-energy-saving community" is used to indicate that the target community cannot enter energy-saving mode.

[0137] Specifically, after determining multiple target values, the electronic device can evaluate each target value. When a target value is less than a second preset value, the corresponding candidate coverage compensation cell is removed. After determining whether each target value is greater than or equal to the second preset value, if none of the multiple target values ​​are greater than or equal to the second preset value, it is determined that none of the candidate coverage compensation cells for the target cell can distribute service load to the target cell while it is in energy-saving mode. In this case, the target cell entering energy-saving mode would affect user experience, therefore the electronic device can determine that the target cell is a non-energy-saving cell.

[0138] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, assume that the candidate coverage compensation cells for cell 1 include cell 2 and cell 3, and the second preset value is 2. The target value for cell 2 is 1.8, and the target value for cell 3 is 1.9. In this case, since the target values ​​of all candidate coverage compensation cells for cell 1 are not greater than the second preset value, the electronic device determines cell 1 as a non-energy-saving cell.

[0139] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 ,like Figure 7 As shown, the above-mentioned method for determining energy-saving communities also includes: S701-S703.

[0140] S701. Electronic equipment obtains the number of handovers from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell.

[0141] Specifically, the electronic device sends a request to the network management device to obtain the number of handovers from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell. The network management device receives the handover request from the electronic device and sends the electronic device the number of handovers from user terminals in the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell per unit time.

[0142] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, electronic device 101 sends a request to network management device 103 to obtain the number of handovers from cell 1 to cell 2. Network management device 103 receives the request from electronic device 101 and sends a message to electronic device 101 stating that the number of handovers from user terminals in cell 1 to cell 2 within a unit of time is 50.

[0143] S702, The electronic device obtains the number of handovers from the target cell to the handoverable cell.

[0144] Specifically, the electronic device sends a request to the network management device to obtain the number of handovers from the target cell to the available cells. The network management device receives the request from the electronic device and sends the number of handovers from user terminals in the target cell to the available cells per unit time to the electronic device.

[0145] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, electronic device 101 sends a request to network management device 103 to obtain the number of handovers from cell 1 to cell 2, cell 3, and cell 4. Network management device 103 receives the request from electronic device 101 and sends to electronic device 101 a total of 100 handovers from user terminals in cell 1 to cell 2, cell 3, and cell 4 within a unit time period.

[0146] S703. The electronic device determines the handover ratio from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell as the ratio between the number of handovers from the target cell to the candidate coverage compensation cell and the number of handovers from the target cell to the available cell.

[0147] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device 101 determines the ratio between the number of handovers from cell 1 to cell 2 and the total number of handovers from cell 1 to cell 2, cell 3 and cell 4 as the handover ratio from cell 1 to cell 2 = (50 ÷ 100) * 100% = 50%.

[0148] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 ,like Figure 8 As shown, the above-mentioned method for determining energy-saving communities also includes: S801-S803.

[0149] S801. The electronic device acquires the number of sampling points in the first sampling point set within the target cell.

[0150] The first set of sampling points consists of the sampling points in the target cell whose signal strength is greater than the third preset value.

[0151] Optionally, the third preset value can be -100dBm.

[0152] Specifically, the electronic device sends the unique identifier of the target cell and a request to obtain MR data to the network management device. The network management device receives the unique identifier of the target cell and the request, and then sends the MR data of all sampling points under the target cell to the electronic device. In this scenario, the electronic device determines the number of sampling points in the first sampling point set based on the MR data of all sampling points under the target cell.

[0153] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device sends the unique identifier of cell 1 and a request to obtain MR data to the network management device 103. The network management device 103 receives the unique identifier of cell 1 and the request to obtain MR data, and sends the MR data of all sampling points under cell 1 to the electronic device 101. In this case, the electronic device 101 determines that the number of sampling points in the first sampling point set is 100 based on the MR data of all sampling points under cell 1.

[0154] S802. The electronic device acquires the number of sampling points in the second sampling point set within the target cell.

[0155] The second set of sampling points consists of sampling points whose signal strength is greater than a third preset value among the sampling points of the candidate coverage compensation cell.

[0156] Specifically, the electronic device sends a unique identifier for the candidate coverage compensation cell and a request to obtain MR data to the network management device. The network management device receives the unique identifier and the request, and then sends the MR data of all sampling points under the target cell connected to the candidate coverage compensation cell to the electronic device. In this scenario, the electronic device determines the number of sampling points in the first sampling point set based on the MR data of all sampling points under the target cell connected to the candidate coverage compensation cell.

[0157] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, electronic device 101 sends the unique identifier of cell 2 and a request to obtain MR data to network management device 103. Network management device 103 receives the unique identifier of cell 2 and the request to obtain MR data, and sends the MR data of all sampling points under cell 1 accessing cell 2 to electronic device 101. In this case, electronic device 101 determines that the number of sampling points in the first sampling point set is 90 based on the MR data of all sampling points under cell 1 accessing cell 2.

[0158] S803. The electronic device determines the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell by the ratio between the number of sampling points in the second sampling point set and the number of sampling points in the first sampling point set.

[0159] Optionally, the electronic device determines the overlap coverage between the candidate coverage compensation cell and the target cell based on the number of sampling points in the second sampling point set and the number of sampling points in the first sampling point set, using the following calculation formula:

[0160]

[0161] Where MRnRsrp is the MR signal strength of the candidate coverage compensation cell, MR is the MR signal strength of the target cell, and n is the number of all MR acquisition points under the target cell.

[0162] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, cell 2 has 90 second sampling points, while cell 1 has 100 first sampling points. Therefore, the overlap coverage between cell 2 and the target cell is...

[0163] =90÷100=90%.
