[0065] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a network device according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0066] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the physical structure of an electronic device is provided. Detailed Implementation

[0067] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0068] With the development of 5G technology, the power consumption of 5G base station equipment has increased significantly. Under the same coverage conditions, the energy consumption of a 5G base station is approximately 2.8 times that of a 4G base station. Among the base station equipment, the AAU (Active Audio Unit) accounts for approximately 90% of the total energy consumption of a 5G base station.

[0069] Therefore, various energy-saving technologies can be used to conserve energy. One of the most common methods is to shut down the AAU device or the cell during off-peak hours, a technique known as carrier shutdown. However, if a large number of 5G users suddenly connect and the AAU fails to wake up in time, it can cause service congestion, affecting the user's internet experience and even leading to user complaints. Therefore, how to wake up dormant AAU devices in a timely manner is a problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0070] Existing base station predictive power-saving wake-up algorithms have the following drawbacks:

[0071] (1) The evaluation data volume is large and the time consumption is lengthy. If AI algorithms are used, long-term data needs to be collected from the existing network, including evaluation factors such as base station engineering parameters and indicators. The data has many dimensions, large scale, and high computational difficulty, and it is often impossible to track changes in the existing network services in a timely manner.

[0072] (2) Insufficient flexibility. Network congestion caused by sudden business interruptions often fails to wake up dormant AAU devices or cells in a timely manner by collecting indicators at a 15-minute granularity in dormant areas. This is because the generation, collection, and analysis of indicators take time, resulting in a wake-up delay of at least 15 minutes.

[0073] (3) Traditional prediction models have poor accuracy. Prediction algorithms are only highly accurate if the changes in cell services are regular. However, in reality, no prediction algorithm can accurately predict unpredictable service spikes. Cell services are dynamic and influenced by multiple factors; any sudden event, such as extreme weather or mass gatherings, can cause numerous unpredictable situations. Algorithm models can only extract patterns in cell service changes from historical data, and at most, can only determine the probability of sudden service spikes and set thresholds to decide whether to put the cell into a dormant state. Even the most intelligent algorithms cannot accurately predict the future and have certain limitations.

[0074] (4) High input costs. Whether it is big data analysis or AI algorithm training, massive amounts of data preprocessing and feeding are required to obtain the corresponding algorithm model. This type of algorithm has high requirements for hardware equipment and personnel, and the corresponding input costs also rise accordingly.

[0075] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies in waking up dormant AAU devices, such as the inability to track changes in current network services in a timely manner and the lack of flexibility, this invention provides a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for waking up dormant cells.

[0076] The following is combined Figures 1-7 The present invention describes a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for waking up a dormant cell.

[0077] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the hibernation cell wake-up method provided by the present invention, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps 110 to 120:

[0078] Step 110: Obtain the first collected value of the target wake-up index of the compensation cell set of the dormant cell;

[0079] Step 120: If it is determined that the first collected value has reached the threshold of the target wake-up indicator, the dormant cell is determined to be woken up;

[0080] The correlation coefficient between the target wake-up metric and the total number of users in the compensation cell set is greater than the correlation coefficient threshold.

[0081] Specifically, after a 5G base station AAU device enters a dormant state, its associated 5G cell is also shut down, becoming a dormant cell. At this time, services can only be carried by the compensation cell. Therefore, based on data collection and real-time monitoring of the compensation cell, it is possible to accurately determine whether a dormant 5G cell needs to be woken up.

[0082] Optionally, the dormant cell can be a 5G cell;

[0083] Optionally, the compensation cell for a dormant cell may include any one or more of the following:

[0084] 2G cell; 3G cell; 4G cell; or 5G cell.

[0085] Optionally, the compensation cells for dormant cells may include 2G cells, 3G cells, 4G cells, and 5G cells.

[0086] Optionally, the compensating cells for a dormant cell may include 2G cells, 3G cells, 4G cells, and 5G cells.

[0087] Optionally, if the dormant cell is an NSA base station cell, the set of compensation cells may include the top three priority anchor station cells, shared AAU cells, and the set of the top five neighboring cells with the most successful handovers.

[0088] Optionally, if the dormant cell is an NSA base station cell, the compensation cell can be one of the top three priority anchor station cells, a shared AAU cell, or one of the top five neighbor cells with the most successful handovers.

[0089] Optionally, the top three priority anchor cells can be the top three priority cells among all possible anchor cells;

[0090] Optionally, the top five neighboring cells with the most successful handovers can be the top five cells with the most successful handovers among all cells that have successfully handed over from dormant cells.

[0091] Optionally, if the dormant cell is an SA base station cell, the compensation cell set may include the combined AAU cells and the set of neighboring cells with the top five successful handovers.

[0092] Optionally, if the dormant cell is an SA base station cell, the compensation cell can be a shared AAU cell or a neighboring cell with the top five successful handovers.

[0093] Optionally, if a target wake-up indicator that is strongly correlated with the total number of users in the compensation cell set has been determined, a first collection value of the target wake-up indicator of the compensation cell set of the dormant cell can be obtained, and data collection and real-time monitoring of the compensation cell can be performed using the first collection value; if it is determined that the first collection value has reached the threshold of the target wake-up indicator, the dormant cell can be woken up.

[0094] This invention obtains the first collected value of the target wake-up index of the compensating cell set of dormant cells, given a target wake-up index that is strongly correlated with the total number of users in the compensating cell set. It then monitors whether these first collected values ​​are higher than a threshold. If they are higher than the threshold, it can be determined that the service load of the compensating cell is large, and thus the number of users is large in the near future. Therefore, it is necessary to activate the dormant cell to ensure customer experience. Since this invention does not determine the need to activate the dormant cell based on a predictive algorithm, the accuracy of wake-up is guaranteed. By monitoring the network load of the compensating cell in real time, the timeliness and flexibility of wake-up are also guaranteed when the compensating cell is overloaded or reaches a certain load.

[0095] The dormant cell wake-up method provided by this invention uses network indicators that are strongly correlated with the total number of users in the compensation cell set as wake-up indicators for dormant cells. It monitors these network indicators of the compensation cells of the dormant cell and wakes up the dormant cell when the threshold of the wake-up indicator is reached, so as to ensure that the dormant cell can be woken up flexibly and timely when a large number of users access the network.

[0096] Optionally, the target wake-up indicator is one or more of the candidate wake-up indicators, and the candidate wake-up indicators of any one of the compensation cells in the set of compensation cells include the cell signaling data indicators and / or hardware load indicators of the compensation cell.

[0097] Specifically, among all network-related data in the compensation cell, not all data are necessarily strongly correlated with the total number of users in the compensation cell set. In other words, not all data can be used as a basis for determining whether to activate a dormant cell. Therefore, some network-related data in the compensation cell that are considered to reflect the number of users can be used as candidate wake-up indicators. Based on the correlation with the total number of users in the compensation cell set, the target wake-up indicator that is strongly correlated with the total number of users in the compensation cell set can be determined.

[0098] That is, the target wake-up metric is one or more of the candidate wake-up metrics.

[0099] Specifically, in order to ensure the real-time nature of the wake-up judgment for dormant cells, the cell signaling data indicators and / or hardware load indicators of the compensation cell can be used as candidate wake-up indicators; each type of data indicator corresponds to its own wake-up threshold.

[0100] That is, when considering network-related data that may reflect the number of users as candidate wake-up indicators, both cell signaling data indicators and hardware load indicators are taken into account; in this invention, by considering both cell signaling data and the hardware load of the dormant cell when determining whether to activate the dormant cell, the real-time nature of wake-up is guaranteed.

[0101] Optionally, due to factors such as network instability, the first collected values ​​of cell signaling data indicators and / or hardware load indicators may not be obtained normally. Therefore, this invention can provide a correction mechanism to promptly determine whether to wake up the dormant cell upon obtaining any of these data. That is, it can promptly wake up the dormant AAU board, i.e., promptly wake up the dormant cell, when any category of data in the cell signaling data indicators and / or hardware load indicators reflects a large load.

[0102] In this invention, even if one type of data is missing, the system can still wake up the dormant cell when the first collected value of another type of indicator reaches the wake-up threshold of that indicator, thus ensuring the real-time nature of the wake-up and the robustness of the wake-up device.

[0103] Optionally, the cell signaling data indicators of the compensated cell include any one or more of the following:

[0104] The ECGI of the compensation cell;

[0105] The number of first-category users corresponding to the ECGI;

[0106] The number of users corresponding to the ECGI is the sum of the number of users in the first category and the number of users in the second category.

[0107] The traffic carried by the first type of user corresponding to the ECGI;

[0108] The traffic carried by the second type of user corresponding to the ECGI;

[0109] The dormant cell serves the first type of users, and the compensating cell users of the dormant cell serve the first type of users and / or the second type of users.

[0110] Specifically, the signaling data indicators for the compensation community include any one or more of the following:

[0111] The ECGI of the compensation cell; or

[0112] The number of users of the first type corresponding to the ECGI; or

[0113] The number of users corresponding to the ECGI is the sum of the number of users in the first category and the number of users in the second category; or

[0114] The traffic carried by the first type of user corresponding to the ECGI; or

[0115] The traffic carried by the second type of user corresponding to the ECGI; or

[0116] The dormant cell serves the first type of users, and the compensating cell users of the dormant cell serve the first type of users and / or the second type of users.

[0117] Optionally, the first type of user can be a 5G terminal user;

[0118] Optionally, the second type of user can be a 2G terminal user, a 3G terminal user, or a 4G terminal user;

[0119] Optionally, the second type of user can be a 4G terminal user;

[0120] Optionally, the second type of user can be both 3G terminal users and 4G terminal users;

[0121] Optionally, the second type of user can be 2G terminal users and 4G terminal users;

[0122] Optionally, the second type of user can be 2G terminal users and 3G terminal users;

[0123] Optionally, the second type of user can be a non-5G terminal user.

[0124] Specifically, the signaling data indicators for the compensation community include any one or more of the following:

[0125] The ECGI of the compensation cell; or

[0126] The number of 5G terminal users corresponding to the ECGI; or

[0127] The total number of users corresponding to the ECGI, including both 5G and non-5G users; or

[0128] The 5G terminal user's traffic corresponding to the ECGI; or

[0129] The traffic carried by non-5G terminal users corresponding to the ECGI.

[0130] Optionally, the first collected value of the cell signaling data indicator of the compensation cell can be obtained periodically, such as once every 5 minutes or once every 6 minutes. This invention does not limit this.

[0131] Optionally, each cell signaling data indicator can correspond to its own wake-up threshold;

[0132] For example, if the target wake-up metric includes the number of 5G device users, and the threshold for the number of 5G device users can be 20, then it can be determined that the wake-up threshold of this target wake-up metric has been reached if the total number of 5G device users (i.e., the first collected value) of all compensation cells (i.e., the set of compensation cells) of the dormant cell is greater than or equal to 20. Among them, the total number of 5G device users of all compensation cells of the dormant cell can be the sum of the number of 5G device users corresponding to their respective ECGIs in each compensation cell.

[0133] If the target wake-up indicator includes other cell signaling data indicators, such as the traffic carried by 5G terminal users or the traffic carried by non-5G terminal users, the method for determining whether the cell signaling data indicator has reached the threshold can refer to the method for determining the number of 5G device users mentioned above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0134] Optionally, the first type of user is a 5G terminal user, and the second type of user is a non-5G terminal user.

[0135] Optionally, the hardware load indicators of the compensation cell include any one or more of the following:

[0136] The baseband load data of the compensation cell;

[0137] The load data of the AAU equipment in the compensation cell.

[0138] Specifically, the hardware load indicators of the compensation community include any one or more of the following:

[0139] The baseband load data of the compensation cell; or

[0140] The load data of the AAU equipment in the compensation cell.

[0141] Optionally, the AAU device load data can be the CPU and / or DSP load of the AAU device.

[0142] For example, if the target wake-up metric includes baseband board load data, and the threshold for baseband board load data can be 60%, then the wake-up threshold of this target wake-up metric can be determined to have been reached if the average proportion of the sum of the baseband board load data (i.e., the first collected value) of all compensated cells (i.e., the set of compensated cells) of the dormant cell to the total baseband board load data is greater than or equal to 60%.

[0143] For example, if the target wake-up metric includes AAU device load data, and the threshold for AAU device load data can be 60%, then the wake-up threshold of this target wake-up metric can be determined to have been reached if the average proportion of the sum of AAU device load data (i.e., the first collected value) of all compensated cells (i.e., the set of compensated cells) of the dormant cell to the total AAU devices is greater than or equal to 60%.

[0144] Optionally, the acquisition of hardware load indicators for the compensation cell is not limited by the minimum data collection granularity. Therefore, real-time board load status can be obtained by querying the command port without affecting network management.

[0145] That is, the first collected value of the hardware load index of the compensation community can be obtained in real time.

[0146] Therefore, it is possible to determine whether to wake up the dormant cell every minute, and the first collected value of the hardware load index of the compensation cell can be obtained in real time each time the dormant cell is woken up.

[0147] Optionally, it is possible to continuously determine whether to wake up a dormant cell, based on the first collected value of the most recently acquired cell signaling data indicator and / or the first collected value of the real-time acquired hardware load indicator.

[0148] Optionally, it can be determined every certain period of time, such as 1.5 minutes, whether to wake up the dormant cell. The determination can be based on the first collected value of the most recently acquired cell signaling data indicator and / or the first collected value of the hardware load indicator acquired in real time at the time of determination.

[0149] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0150] The target wake-up indicator is determined from the candidate wake-up indicators.

[0151] Specifically, among all network-related data in the compensation cell, not all data are necessarily strongly correlated with the total number of users in the compensation cell set. In other words, not all data can be used as a basis for determining whether to activate a dormant cell. Therefore, some network-related data in the compensation cell that are considered to reflect the number of users can be used as candidate wake-up indicators. Based on the correlation with the total number of users in the compensation cell set, the target wake-up indicator that is strongly correlated with the total number of users in the compensation cell set can be determined.

[0152] Therefore, before determining whether to wake up a dormant cell, the target wake-up indicator can be determined from the candidate wake-up indicators.

[0153] Optionally, after determining the target wake-up indicator from the candidate wake-up indicators, real-time judgment of long-term dormant cell wake-up can be continuously performed.

[0154] Optionally, as the base station hardware is adjusted, supplemented, or improved, or as the environment changes, the target wake-up index can be redefined and updated at regular intervals.

[0155] Optionally, determining the target wake-up indicator from the candidate wake-up indicators includes:

[0156] Obtain the second collected value of the candidate wake-up index of the compensated cell;

[0157] Based on the second collected value, obtain the correlation coefficient between each of the candidate wake-up indicators and the total number of users;

[0158] Candidate wake-up indicators with correlation coefficients greater than the correlation coefficient threshold are identified as the target wake-up indicators.

[0159] Optionally, in order to determine the target wake-up indicator with a strong correlation to the total number of users from the candidate wake-up indicators, the second collection value of the candidate wake-up indicators of the compensation cell can be obtained first. Based on the second collection value, the correlation coefficient between each candidate wake-up indicator and the total number of users can be obtained. That is, the correlation between multiple candidate wake-up indicators and the total number of users can be determined pairwise. For example, the correlation between 5G data carrying traffic and the total number of users can be determined, and the baseband board load data can be determined, and so on, until the correlation coefficient between all candidate wake-up indicators and the total number of users is determined. If the correlation is strong, the board wake-up algorithm model corresponding to the dormant cell can be configured using these indicators for wake-up judgment.

[0160] Therefore, candidate wake-up indicators with correlation coefficients greater than the correlation coefficient threshold are identified as the target wake-up indicators.

[0161] For example, correlation coefficients can be classified as follows:

[0162] 0.8-1.0 indicates a very strong correlation;

[0163] A value of 0.6-0.8 indicates a strong correlation;

[0164] 0.4-0.6 indicates a moderate degree of correlation;

[0165] 0.2-0.4 indicates a weak correlation;

[0166] 0.0-0.2 indicates a very weak correlation or no correlation;

[0167] Optionally, the correlation coefficient threshold can be set to 0.6;

[0168] Optionally, the correlation coefficient threshold can be preset or indicated by a higher level, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0169] Optionally, when obtaining the correlation coefficient between each of the candidate wake-up indicators and the total number of users, the Pearson correlation coefficient algorithm can be used to obtain the correlation between each of the candidate wake-up indicators and the total number of users.

[0170] Optionally, if no target wake-up indicator with a strong correlation to the total number of users is found among the candidate wake-up indicators, it indicates that the board corresponding to the dormant cell is not suitable for the energy-saving wake-up algorithm. A more flexible wake-up strategy should be adopted, such as timed wake-up or fixed threshold wake-up.

[0171] For example, the second collection data of a set of compensated cells for a dormant AAU is shown in Table 1 below:

[0172] Table 1. Second collection data of the compensated cell set of dormant AAUs

[0173] Community A 12 105 43 Community B 8 76 15 Community C 23 59 32 Community D 17 231 28

[0174] The Pearson correlation coefficient algorithm can be used. Let the number of 4 / 5G users X be a vector containing the data in the table above: X = (117, 84, 82, 248). Let Y be the board load: Y = (43, 15, 32, 28).

[0175] The cosine of the angle between these two centered vectors, i.e., the Pearson correlation coefficient r, is cosθ. Substituting this into the formula, we can see that for the dormant cell corresponding to this AAU, the number of 4 / 5G users (total number of users) and the board load r value (baseband board load data) are between 0.5 and 0.6. Figure 2 This is one of the schematic diagrams of correlation judgment provided by the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the correlation is generally low, but the fluctuations are large.

[0176] This indicates that the number of users in the dormant cell corresponding to this AAU is not sufficiently correlated with the board and is not a target for system adjustments. The algorithm model excludes candidate wake-up indicators with such low correlation.

[0177] Optionally, when there is a strong correlation between board load and the total number of users, the correlation coefficient between each of the candidate wake-up indicators and the total number of users can be obtained based on the second collected value using the Pearson correlation coefficient algorithm. For example, the correlation between data traffic and board load can be calculated, with specific data as follows:

[0178] Community A 43 42 Community B 15 9 Community C 32 35 Community D 28 25

[0179] Figure 3 This is the second schematic diagram of the correlation judgment provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the correlation coefficient r is between 0.8 and 0.9, indicating a strong correlation; flexible wake-up algorithm thresholds can be set. For example, when the number of 5G users is greater than 20, the wake-up condition is met when the total number of users is greater than 100 or the board load is greater than 60%. A wake-up command is output in real time to activate the AAU device in sleep mode at the 5G base station.

[0180] Optionally, obtaining the correlation coefficient between each of the candidate wake-up indicators and the total number of users based on the second collected value includes:

[0181] Using the Pearson correlation coefficient algorithm, based on the second collected value, the correlation coefficients between each of the candidate wake-up indicators and the total number of users are obtained;

[0182] The correlation coefficient between the candidate wake-up metric and the total number of users is the quotient of the covariance and standard deviation between the second collected value of the candidate wake-up metric and the total number of users.

[0183] The Pearson correlation coefficient is widely used to measure the degree of correlation between two variables, and its value ranges between -1 and 1. The Pearson correlation coefficient between two variables is defined as the quotient of their covariance and standard deviation:

[0184]

[0185] The above formula defines the population correlation coefficient, commonly represented by the lowercase Greek letter ρ. By estimating the sample covariance and standard deviation, the Pearson correlation coefficient can be obtained, commonly represented by the lowercase English letter r.

[0186]

[0187] r can also be estimated from the mean of the standard scores of the (Xi, Yi) sample points, yielding an expression equivalent to the above formula:

[0188]

[0189] in and σ X These are the standard score, sample mean, and sample standard deviation for the Xi sample, respectively. r describes the strength of the linear correlation between the two variables. r ranges from -1 to +1. If r > 0, it indicates a positive correlation, meaning the larger the value of one variable, the larger the value of the other. If r < 0, it indicates a negative correlation, meaning the larger the value of one variable, the smaller the value of the other.

[0190] Geometrically, the Pearson correlation coefficient is the cosine of the angle between two n-dimensional vectors after data digitization.

[0191] In this invention, by real-time monitoring of changes in existing network services, collecting signaling data, and real-time CPU / DSP load of the board, and using the Pearson correlation coefficient algorithm for rapid analysis, it is possible to determine in almost real time whether the dormant 5G base station AAU board needs to be woken up to provide services, thus achieving the goal of not affecting the user's internet experience.

[0192] Optionally, when the target wake-up indicator includes the cell signaling data indicator of the compensation cell, the first collected value of the target wake-up indicator for the set of compensation cells of the dormant cells includes:

[0194] Optionally, the first collected value of the cell signaling data indicator of the compensation cell can be obtained periodically, such as once every 5 minutes or once every 6 minutes. This invention does not limit this.

[0195] Optionally, the second collected value of the cell signaling data indicator of the compensation cell can also be acquired periodically, such as once every 5 minutes or once every 6 minutes. This invention does not limit this.

[0196] Optionally, the length of the first cycle is 5 minutes.

[0197] Optionally, when the target wake-up indicator includes the number of first-type users corresponding to the ECGI and / or the number of users corresponding to the ECGI, the first collected value of the target wake-up indicator for obtaining the set of compensated cells of the dormant cells includes:

[0198] Based on the terminal device information database, determine the number of first-type users corresponding to the ECGI and / or the number of users corresponding to the ECGI;

[0199] The terminal device information database is used to identify any user as either a first-class user or a second-class user.

[0200] Optionally, the first type of user can be a 5G device user;

[0201] Optionally, the second type of user can be a non-5G device user;

[0202] Optionally, when determining the number of 5G device users or the total number of users in the compensation cell set of the dormant cell, the accessed devices can be identified first to determine whether they are 5G mobile phones.

[0203] Alternatively, identification can be performed using a terminal device information database;

[0204] Optionally, the terminal device information database can be used to identify any user as a 5G user or a non-5G user;

[0205] For example, information about one or more device users can be entered into the terminal device information database. The terminal device information database can determine whether each device user is a 5G user or a non-5G user, and thus obtain the number of 5G users and the number of non-5G users.

[0206] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0207] Before determining the number of first-type users and / or the number of users corresponding to the ECGI based on the terminal device information database, the terminal device information database is established.

[0208] Optionally, in order to identify whether a user is a 5G user or a non-5G user, the terminal device information database can be established before determining the number of first-type users and / or the number of users corresponding to the ECGI based on the terminal device information database.

[0209] Optionally, establishing the terminal device information database includes:

[0210] An initial terminal device information database is established, which includes information on an initial first type of user and information on an initial second type of user.

[0211] Based on the information of the first type of users and the information of the second type of users initialized, machine learning is performed on the initialized terminal device information database to obtain the terminal device information database after machine learning.

[0212] Optionally, when establishing the terminal device information database, an initial terminal device information database can be established first, which includes information on an initial first type of user and information on an initial second type of user. Then, machine learning can be performed on the initial terminal device information database based on the initial information on the first type of user and the initial information on the second type of user, and the learned model can be used as the terminal device information database.

[0213] Optionally, when the candidate wake-up indicators of the compensation cell include the hardware load indicators of the compensation cell, the first collected value of the target wake-up indicator of the set of compensation cells of the dormant cells includes:

[0214] The first collected value of the hardware load index of the compensation cell is obtained in real time.

[0215] Optionally, the acquisition of hardware load indicators for the compensation cell is not limited by the minimum data collection granularity. Therefore, without affecting network management, real-time board load status can be obtained by querying the command port. That is, the first collected value of the hardware load indicators for the compensation cell can be obtained in real time.

[0216] Optionally, the second collected value of the hardware load index of the compensation cell can also be obtained in real time.

[0217] Optionally, determining to wake up a dormant cell when the first collected value of the target wake-up indicator reaches the threshold of the target wake-up indicator includes any one or more of the following:

[0218] If the first collected value of any one of the target wake-up indicators reaches the threshold of the target wake-up indicator, the dormant cell is determined to be woken up; or

[0219] If the first collected value of any multiple targets among all wake-up indicators has reached its respective threshold, the dormant cell is determined to be awakened; or

[0220] Once the first collected value of all target wake-up indicators has reached its respective threshold, the dormant cell is determined to be awakened.

[0221] Optionally, the sleep cell can be woken up if the first collected value of any one of the target wake-up indicators reaches the threshold of the target wake-up indicator.

[0222] For example, if the target wake-up criteria include the number of 5G users in the compensation cell set and the board load, then the dormant cell can be woken up only when the number of 5G users in the compensation cell set is greater than a threshold, such as 20. Alternatively, the dormant cell can be woken up when the number of 5G users in the compensation cell set is greater than the wake-up threshold, such as 20, and the board load is greater than the wake-up threshold, such as 60%.

[0223] Optionally, the wake-up of a dormant cell can be determined if the first collected value of any of the target wake-up indicators has reached its respective threshold.

[0224] For example, if the target wake-up indicators include the number of 5G users in the compensation cell set, the total number of users, and the board load, then the dormant cell can be woken up when the number of 5G users in the compensation cell set is greater than the wake-up threshold, for example, 20, the total number of users is greater than the threshold, for example, 100, and the board load is greater than the wake-up threshold, for example, 60%. Alternatively, the dormant cell can be woken up when the number of 5G users in the compensation cell set is greater than the wake-up threshold, for example, 20, and the total number of users is greater than the threshold, for example, 100.

[0225] Optionally, the sleep cell can be woken up if the first collected value of all target wake-up indicators has reached its respective threshold.

[0226] For example, if the target wake-up criteria include the number of 5G users in the compensation cell set, the total number of users, and the board load, then the dormant cell can be woken up only when the number of 5G users in the compensation cell set is greater than the wake-up threshold, for example, 20, the total number of users is greater than the threshold, for example, 100, and the board load is greater than the wake-up threshold, for example, 60%.

[0227] In one embodiment, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the hibernation cell wake-up method provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the target of the data collection can be a compensating cell for a dormant 5G cell;

[0228] This includes the ability to collect the first-level hardware load indicators of the compensation cell in real time, such as the baseband board and AAU device CPU / DSP load bound to the compensation cell. This data acquisition is not limited by the minimum data collection granularity. Real-time board load information can be obtained by querying the command port without affecting network management.

[0229] Specifically, the system can periodically collect and save the first collected values ​​of cell signaling data indicators for compensating cells in dormant 5G cells every 5 minutes (the minimum collection granularity). Cell signaling data indicators mainly include the cell's ECGI (Electronic Control Group Identity), and its corresponding number of 4 / 5G terminal devices, traffic volume, etc.
