[0002] Battery life is one of the key performance indicators of a terminal that people care about. However, with the introduction of 5G technology, the characteristics of large bandwidth, multiple antennas and high speed have brought great challenges to the battery life of terminals.

[0003] To address this issue, existing technologies define certain terminal power-saving features in communication protocols. Terminals and networks can save power to some extent by enabling and responding to these features. However, existing technologies lack a clear configuration method. Furthermore, when both the network and the terminal support these power-saving features, the network will respond or configure unconditionally, which can impact network performance, such as causing network latency degradation and increased network complexity, potentially hindering terminal power saving. Therefore, how to achieve a clear and effective terminal power-saving method is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the relevant application and not for limiting the application. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the relevant application are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Battery life is one of the key performance indicators of a mobile device that people are concerned about. However, with the introduction of 5G technology, the characteristics of large bandwidth, multiple antennas, and high speed have brought great challenges to the battery life of mobile devices. To address this issue, existing technologies have defined some power-saving features for mobile devices in the communication protocol, such as:

[0027] Connected-Discontinuous Reception (C-DRX): Periodically wakes up the terminal to listen to the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) to reduce power consumption. The power saving effect is affected by parameter configuration. This feature is applicable to most scenarios and has universality. Laboratory tests show that the power saving effect is significant, but it has a certain impact on network latency.

[0028] Bandwidth Part (BWP): Reduces terminal power consumption by switching and adapting between BWPs with different bandwidth sizes of 100MHz and 20MHz; this feature is applicable to most scenarios and has universality. Laboratory tests show that the power saving effect is significant, but it has a certain impact on network latency.

[0029] Intelligent pre-scheduling: This feature omits the terminal's scheduling request (SR) reporting process, reducing small packet access latency. Intelligent pre-scheduling is controlled by an on / off switch; pre-scheduling is triggered upon the arrival of downlink data and continues only for a specified duration. This feature is suitable for sparse traffic and voice scenarios. Compared to ordinary pre-scheduling, laboratory tests show that intelligent pre-scheduling improves terminal power consumption to some extent while having a smaller impact on latency.

[0030] Overheat protection: When the terminal overheats, it reports overheat auxiliary information fields (reducing the number of multiple-in-multiple-out (MIMO) layers, reducing the number of carriers, and reducing bandwidth) to request the network to make corresponding configurations to alleviate the terminal overheating. This feature is suitable for terminal overheating scenarios caused by high-energy-consuming services. Laboratory tests have shown that it has a certain power-saving effect. However, if it does not respond, the terminal may lose network access and cause more serious consequences if it is severely overheated.

[0031] Cross-time-slot scheduling: After receiving the PDCCH signal in the current time slot, the terminal closes the radio frequency path. If downlink data arrives in the current time slot, it will be received in the next time slot. This mainly saves power consumption during PDCCH demodulation and PDCSH reception when the radio frequency path is closed in subframes with no data transmission. This feature is suitable for sparse data scenarios, and laboratory tests show that it has a certain power-saving effect, but it has a significant impact on network latency and scheduling.

[0032] Wake Up Signal (WUS): A signal is sent before each Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle to indicate whether the terminal should wake up in the next DRX cycle. This feature is suitable for sparse service scenarios and has a certain power saving effect in actual tests.

[0033] Maximum MIMO layer limit: The maximum MIMO layer number is adaptively adjusted based on BWP handover, allowing the terminal to disable some receiving antennas to reduce power consumption. This feature is suitable for low-speed service scenarios, and actual testing shows a certain power-saving effect with minimal impact on network latency.

[0034] User Equipment Assistance Information (UAI): For power saving purposes, the terminal reports terminal assistance information to request the network to reduce power consumption; the terminal requests the network to release the Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection in advance; applicable to low-speed service scenarios, releasing the RRC connection in advance may increase network latency if downlink data arrives at this time.

[0035] Enhanced SkipUplinkTxDynamic: When pre-scheduling is enabled on the network side, uplink transmission is skipped if the terminal has no data to send, thereby reducing terminal power consumption and padding rate. This feature is suitable for scenarios where pre-scheduling is enabled. After enabling it, not only can the terminal reduce power consumption, but it also provides benefits to the network; not sending padding packets when the terminal has no data can reduce network interference and lower the padding rate.

[0036] Secondary Cell Dormant: The terminal uses Downlink Control Information (DCI) to instruct the terminal to operate on a non-dormant BWP when there is service, and to switch to a dormant BWP when there is no service, thus maintaining the secondary cell connection. This feature is suitable for scenarios involving frequent activation of multiple call control (CC) or sudden large data spikes.

[0037] Currently, the network can only enable these power-saving features based on terminal support, without a clear configuration method, and the network is also unaware of the actual power-saving effect of each feature. When both the network and the terminal support these power-saving features, the network will respond or configure unconditionally, which will affect network performance, such as causing network latency deterioration and increased network complexity. Therefore, how to achieve a clear and effective terminal power-saving method is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0038] To address the problems existing in current power-saving methods, this application provides a power-saving method involving a network device and a computer-readable storage medium. The network device acquires network optimization measurement data sent by a terminal to be configured; determines the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume and a preset data volume threshold; and configures the terminal to be configured for power saving according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level. This effectively improves the power-saving capability of the terminal.

[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] This application provides a power-saving method. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of the power-saving method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, power-saving methods for network devices may include the following steps:

[0041] Step 101: Obtain network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured.

[0042] In the embodiments of this application, the network device may first obtain network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, network device refers to a device located on the network side, such as a base station.

[0044] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the terminal to be configured refers to a terminal that needs to be configured for power saving. For example, the terminal to be configured is a user equipment, including tablet computers, mobile phones, e-readers, remote controls, personal computers (PCs), laptops, in-vehicle devices, smart TVs, wearable devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable media players (PMPs), navigation devices, etc.

[0045] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the network device can receive network optimization measurement data actively reported by the terminal to be configured / network optimization measurement data sent after responding to the request of the network device, so as to use the network optimization measurement data to realize subsequent power-saving configuration of the terminal to be configured.

[0046] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the network optimization measurement data is the data obtained by the terminal to be configured after performing measurements based on its own supported network optimization measurement capabilities.

[0047] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the network optimization measurement capabilities supported by the terminal to be configured include: Channel State Information (CSI)-Reference Signal (RS) L3 measurement, Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT), Sensor measurement, Bluetooth measurement, and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position reporting; thus, the network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured and obtained by the terminal can be data obtained by measuring based on any one or more of the above network optimization measurement capabilities.

[0048] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, if the terminal to be configured does not support network optimization measurement capabilities, it cannot obtain network optimization measurement data, and thus the network device cannot perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured.

[0049] Step 102: Determine the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and the preset data volume threshold.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, after obtaining the network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured, the network device can determine the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and the preset data volume threshold.

[0051] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the preset data volume threshold can be used to determine the data volume level of the network optimization measurement data; in some embodiments of this application, the preset data volume threshold may include a first data volume threshold, a second data volume threshold, and a third data volume threshold; correspondingly, the data volume level of the network optimization measurement data may include a first-level data volume, a second-level data volume, and a third-level data volume.

[0052] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, if the data volume of the network optimization measurement data is greater than or equal to a first data volume threshold and less than a second data volume threshold, then the network optimization measurement data is determined to be a first-level data volume; if the data volume of the network optimization measurement data is greater than or equal to a second data volume threshold and less than a third data volume threshold, then the network optimization measurement data is determined to be a second-level data volume; if the data volume of the network optimization measurement data is greater than or equal to a third data volume threshold, then the network optimization measurement data is determined to be a third-level data volume; wherein, the first data volume threshold is less than the second data volume threshold, and the second data volume threshold is less than the third data volume threshold.

[0053] Step 103: Configure the power saving configuration for the terminal to be configured according to the power saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level.

[0054] In the embodiments of this application, after determining the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and the preset data volume threshold, the network device can perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level.

[0055] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, different levels of power-saving configuration information are matched for different data volume levels, so that network devices can perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level.

[0056] It should also be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the power-saving configuration scheme includes power-saving configuration information at different levels, including first-level power-saving configuration information, second-level power-saving configuration information and third-level power-saving configuration information.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, if the data volume level is the first level, the terminal to be configured is configured for power saving according to the first level of power saving configuration information; if the data volume level is the second level, the terminal to be configured is configured for power saving according to the second level of power saving configuration information; if the data volume level is the third level, the terminal to be configured is configured for power saving according to the third level of power saving configuration information.

[0058] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the network device can perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured via RRC signaling.

[0059] Therefore, this application deploys a clear power-saving configuration scheme, which can configure the power-saving terminal in stages according to the specific situation of the network optimization measurement data of the terminal to be configured, so that the terminal to be configured can achieve the power-saving effect without affecting the network performance, thereby improving the power-saving capability of the terminal to be configured.

[0060] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of the power-saving method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2 As shown, the method by which network devices determine the data volume level corresponding to network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of network optimization measurement data and a preset data volume threshold, i.e., the method proposed in step 102, may include the following steps:

[0061] Step 102a: If the amount of network optimization measurement data is greater than or equal to the first data amount threshold and less than the second data amount threshold, then the network optimization measurement data is determined to be the first level data amount.

[0062] In embodiments of this application, the network device determines the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and a preset data volume threshold. In some embodiments of this application, if the data volume of the network optimization measurement data is greater than or equal to the first data volume threshold and less than the second data volume threshold, the network optimization measurement data is determined to be a first-level data volume.

[0063] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the first data volume threshold is less than the second data volume threshold.

[0064] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the first data volume threshold is Q0, the second data volume threshold is Q1, Q0 < Q1; the data volume of the network optimization measurement data is P, Q0 ≤ P < Q1, then it can be determined that the network optimization measurement data corresponds to the first level of data volume.

[0065] Step 102b: If the amount of network optimization measurement data is greater than or equal to the second data amount threshold and less than the third data amount threshold, then the network optimization measurement data is determined to be the second level data amount.

[0066] In embodiments of this application, the network device determines the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and a preset data volume threshold. In some embodiments of this application, if the data volume of the network optimization measurement data is greater than or equal to the second data volume threshold and less than the third data volume threshold, then the network optimization measurement data is determined to be a second-level data volume.

[0067] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the second data volume threshold is less than the third data volume threshold.

[0068] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the second data volume threshold is Q1, the third data volume threshold is Q2, Q1 < Q2; the data volume of the network optimization measurement data is P, Q1 ≤ P < Q2, then it can be determined that the network optimization measurement data corresponds to the second level of data volume.

[0069] Step 102c: If the amount of network optimization measurement data is greater than or equal to the third data amount threshold, then the network optimization measurement data is determined to be the third level of data amount; wherein, the first data amount threshold is less than the second data amount threshold, and the second data amount threshold is less than the third data amount threshold.

[0070] In embodiments of this application, the network device determines the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and a preset data volume threshold. In some embodiments of this application, if the data volume of the network optimization measurement data is greater than or equal to a third data volume threshold, the network optimization measurement data is determined to be a third-level data volume. Wherein, the first data volume threshold is less than the second data volume threshold, and the second data volume threshold is less than the third data volume threshold.

[0071] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the third data volume threshold value is Q2, the data volume of the network optimization measurement data is P, and Q2≤P, then it can be determined that the network optimization measurement data corresponds to the third level of data volume.

[0072] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the amount of data at the third level is greater than the amount of data at the second level, which is greater than the amount of data at the first level.

[0073] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of the power-saving method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 ,like Figure 3As shown, the method for configuring power saving on the terminal to be configured according to the power saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level, i.e., the method proposed in step 103, may include the following steps:

[0074] Step 103a: If the data volume level is the first level, then configure the terminal to be configured for power saving according to the first level power saving configuration information.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the network device performs power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level; in some embodiments of this application, if the data volume level is the first level of data volume, the network device performs power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the first level of power-saving configuration information.

[0076] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the energy-saving configuration information of the corresponding level can be selected in the energy-saving configuration scheme according to the data volume level.

[0077] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the energy-saving configuration scheme may include first-level energy-saving configuration information, second-level energy-saving configuration information, and third-level energy-saving configuration information.

[0078] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the first level of power-saving configuration information represents configuration information that enables a small number of high-priority power-saving features and is more conducive to network performance.

[0079] Step 103b: If the data volume level is the second level, then configure the terminal to be configured for power saving according to the second level power saving configuration information.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, the network device performs power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level; in some embodiments of this application, if the data volume level is the second level data volume, the network device performs power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the second level power-saving configuration information.

[0081] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the second level of power-saving configuration information represents the configuration information for enabling high-priority and medium-priority power-saving features, and balancing network performance and power-saving performance.

[0082] Step 103c: If the data volume level is the third level, then configure the terminal to be configured for power saving according to the third level power saving configuration information.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, the network device performs power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level; in some embodiments of this application, if the data volume level is the third level, the network device performs power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the third level power-saving configuration information.

[0084] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the third level of power-saving configuration information represents the power-saving features of enabling high priority, medium priority and low priority, and is more conducive to power saving.

[0085] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of the power-saving method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 4 ,like Figure 4 As shown, before the network device determines the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and the preset data volume threshold, i.e. before step 102, the following steps may be included:

[0086] Step 104: Determine the score for each type of energy-saving feature according to the preset scoring rules.

[0087] In the embodiments of this application, before determining the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and the preset data volume threshold, the network device can determine the score of each type of power saving characteristic according to the preset scoring rules.

[0088] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the preset scoring rules are used to determine the score of each type of power-saving feature; in some embodiments of this application, the preset scoring rules include preset reference factors; the preset reference factors include power-saving performance parameters, network interference parameters, and scenario applicability parameters; the network device can score each type of power-saving feature according to the power-saving performance parameters, network interference parameters, and scenario applicability parameters of each type of power-saving feature, to obtain the power-saving performance parameter score, network interference parameter score, and scenario applicability parameter score corresponding to each type of power-saving feature; then, the power-saving performance parameter score, network interference parameter score, and scenario applicability parameter score corresponding to each type of power-saving feature are added together to obtain the score of each type of power-saving feature.

[0089] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the higher the score of the power-saving feature, the better it corresponds to preset reference factors, including better performance in power-saving performance, network interference, and scenario applicability.

[0090] Step 105: Determine the priority information of each type of energy-saving characteristic based on the score of each type of energy-saving characteristic.

[0091] In the embodiments of this application, after determining the score of each type of power-saving feature according to the preset scoring rules, the network device can determine the priority information of each type of power-saving feature based on the score of each type of power-saving feature.

[0092] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, different values ​​can be set to determine the priority information of each type of energy-saving feature.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, by setting a first value, a second value, and a third value; if the score of a type of energy-saving characteristic is greater than or equal to the first value, the priority information of the corresponding energy-saving characteristic is determined to be high priority; if the score of a type of energy-saving characteristic is less than the first value but greater than or equal to the second value, the priority information of the corresponding energy-saving characteristic is determined to be medium priority; wherein, the first value is greater than the second value; if the score of a type of energy-saving characteristic is less than the second value but greater than or equal to the third value, the priority information of the corresponding energy-saving characteristic is determined to be low priority; wherein, the second value is greater than the third value.

[0094] Step 106: Determine the power-saving configuration scheme based on priority information; wherein, the power-saving configuration scheme includes power-saving configuration information corresponding to each data volume level.

[0095] In the embodiments of this application, after determining the priority information of each type of power-saving feature based on the score of each type of power-saving feature, the network device can determine a power-saving configuration scheme based on the priority information; wherein, the power-saving configuration scheme includes power-saving configuration information corresponding to each data volume level.

[0096] In some embodiments of this application, a first level can be determined based on high-priority energy-saving characteristics, and corresponding first energy-saving parameters can be configured for the first level to obtain first-level energy-saving configuration information; a second level can be determined based on high-priority and medium-priority energy-saving characteristics, and corresponding second energy-saving parameters can be configured for the second level to obtain second-level energy-saving configuration information; a third level can be determined based on high-priority, medium-priority, and low-priority energy-saving characteristics, and corresponding third energy-saving parameters can be configured for the third level to obtain third-level energy-saving configuration information; thereby, an energy-saving configuration scheme including first-level energy-saving configuration information, second-level energy-saving configuration information, and third-level energy-saving configuration information is obtained.

[0097] Therefore, this application can obtain a clear power-saving configuration scheme by classifying and categorizing each type of power-saving feature. This allows network devices to have a clear power-saving configuration scheme to follow when configuring power-saving terminals, thereby improving the power-saving effect.

[0098] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the preset scoring rules include preset reference factors; the preset reference factors include power-saving performance parameters, network interference parameters, and scenario applicability parameters; the method by which the network device determines the score of each type of power-saving characteristic according to the preset scoring rules, i.e., the method proposed in step 104, may include the following steps:

[0099] Step 104a: Score each type of power saving characteristic according to its power saving performance parameters, network interference parameters, and scenario applicability parameters, and obtain the power saving performance parameter score, network interference parameter score, and scenario applicability parameter score for each type of power saving characteristic.

[0100] In some embodiments of this application, the network device determines the score for each type of power-saving feature according to a preset scoring rule. In some embodiments of this application, the network device can score each type of power-saving feature according to the power-saving performance parameters, network interference parameters, and scenario applicability parameters of each type of power-saving feature, thereby obtaining the power-saving performance parameter score, network interference parameter score, and scenario applicability parameter score corresponding to each type of power-saving feature.

[0101] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the power-saving performance parameter represents the power-saving effect, the network interference parameter represents the degree of impact on the network, and the scenario applicability parameter represents the universality of the application scenario.

[0102] For example, in the embodiments of this application, C-DRX, BWP, intelligent pre-scheduling, overheat protection, cross-time slot scheduling, WUS, maximum MIMO layer limit, UAI, SkipUplinkTxDynamic, and secondary cell hibernation are scored according to power saving performance parameters, network interference parameters, and scenario applicability parameters, respectively, to obtain the power saving performance parameter score, network interference parameter score, and scenario applicability parameter score corresponding to each of the above power saving characteristics.

[0103] For example, in the embodiments of this application, when scoring a type of energy-saving characteristic according to the energy-saving performance parameters, three scoring rules can be set according to the energy-saving performance parameters; for example, if the energy-saving effect of this type of energy-saving characteristic is significant, it can be scored as 1 point; if the energy-saving effect is good, it can be scored as 0.6 points; and if the energy-saving effect is average, it can be scored as 0.3 points.

[0104] For example, in the embodiments of this application, when scoring a type of power-saving characteristic according to network interference parameters, three scoring rules can also be set according to network interference parameters; for example, if this type of power-saving characteristic has no impact on the network, it is scored as 1 point; if it has a small impact on the network, it is scored as 0.6 points; and if it has a large impact on the network, it is scored as 0.3 points.

[0105] For example, in the embodiments of this application, when scoring a type of power-saving feature according to the scenario applicability parameter, two scoring rules can be set according to the scenario applicability parameter; for example, if this type of power-saving feature is applicable to most scenarios and has universality, it can be scored as 1 point, and if it is only applicable to a single business scenario, it can be scored as 0.5 points.

[0106] Step 104b: Add up the scores of the power saving performance parameters, network interference parameters, and scenario applicability parameters corresponding to each type of power saving characteristic to obtain the score of each type of power saving characteristic.

[0107] In the embodiments of this application, after the network device scores each type of power-saving feature according to the power-saving performance parameters, network interference parameters, and scenario applicability parameters of each type of power-saving feature, and obtains the power-saving performance parameter score, network interference parameter score, and scenario applicability parameter score corresponding to each type of power-saving feature, the network device can add the power-saving performance parameter score, network interference parameter score, and scenario applicability parameter score corresponding to each type of power-saving feature to obtain the score of each type of power-saving feature.

[0108] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the scoring methods described above are used to score various power-saving characteristics such as C-DRX, BWP, intelligent pre-scheduling, overheat protection, cross-time slot scheduling, WUS, maximum MIMO layer limit, UAI, SkipUplinkTxDynamic, and secondary cell hibernation. The scores obtained are shown in Table 1 below:

[0112] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the method by which the network device determines the priority information of each type of power-saving feature based on the score of each type of power-saving feature, i.e., the method proposed in step 105, may include the following steps:

[0113] Step 105a: If the score of a type of energy-saving characteristic is greater than or equal to the first value, then the priority information of the corresponding energy-saving characteristic is determined to be high priority.

[0114] In embodiments of this application, the network device determines the priority information of each type of power-saving feature based on the score of each type of power-saving feature; in some embodiments of this application, if the score of a type of power-saving feature is greater than or equal to a first value, the priority information of the corresponding power-saving feature is determined to be high priority.

[0115] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the first value is 2.5 points. If the score of a type of energy-saving feature is 3.5 points, which is greater than the first value, then the priority information of this type of energy-saving feature can be determined as high priority.

[0116] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the first value is 2.5 points. If the score of a type of energy-saving feature is 2.6 points, which is greater than the first value, then the priority information of this type of energy-saving feature can be determined as high priority.

[0117] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the first value is 2.5 points. If the score of a type of energy-saving feature is 2.5 points, which is equal to the first value, then the priority information of this type of energy-saving feature can be determined as high priority.

[0118] Step 105b: If the score of a type of energy-saving characteristic is less than the first value and greater than or equal to the second value, then the priority information of the corresponding energy-saving characteristic is determined to be medium priority; wherein, the first value is greater than the second value.

[0119] In embodiments of this application, the network device determines the priority information of each type of power-saving feature based on the score of each type of power-saving feature; in some embodiments of this application, if the score of a type of power-saving feature is less than a first value and greater than or equal to a second value, the priority information of the corresponding power-saving feature is determined to be medium priority; wherein, the first value is greater than the second value.

[0120] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the first value is 2.5 points and the second value is 1.5 points. If the score of a type of energy-saving feature is 2.1 points, which is greater than the second value and less than the first value, then the priority information of this type of energy-saving feature can be determined as medium priority.

[0121] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the first value is 2.5 points and the second value is 1.5 points. If the score of a type of energy-saving feature is 1.5 points, which is equal to the second value and less than the first value, then the priority information of this type of energy-saving feature can be determined as medium priority.

[0122] Step 105c: If the score of a type of energy-saving characteristic is less than the second value and greater than or equal to the third value, then the priority information of the corresponding energy-saving characteristic is determined to be low priority; wherein, the second value is greater than the third value.

[0123] In embodiments of this application, the network device determines the priority information of each type of power-saving feature based on the score of each type of power-saving feature; in some embodiments of this application, if the score of a type of power-saving feature is less than a second value and greater than or equal to a third value, the priority information of the corresponding power-saving feature is determined to be low priority; wherein, the second value is greater than the third value.

[0124] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the second value is 1.5 points, the third value is 1.2 points, and if the score of a type of energy-saving feature is 1.4 points, then the priority information of this type of energy-saving feature can be determined to be low priority.

[0125] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the second value is 1.5 points and the third value is 1.2 points. If the score of a type of energy-saving feature is 1.2 points, then the priority information of this type of energy-saving feature can be determined to be low priority.

[0126] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, if the score of a type of energy-saving characteristic is less than the third value, then the energy-saving characteristic will not be deployed.

[0127] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the third value is 1.2 points. If the score of a type of energy-saving feature is 0.9 points, then the deployment of that type of energy-saving feature will not be carried out.

[0128] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the priority information of each of the power-saving characteristics such as C-DRX, BWP, intelligent pre-scheduling, overheat protection, cross-time slot scheduling, WUS, maximum MIMO layer limit, UAI, SkipUplinkTxDynamic, and secondary cell hibernation is determined based on their respective scores, as shown in Table 2 below:

[0129] Table 2

[0130]

[0131]

[0132] Among them, since the score for cross-time slot scheduling is lower than the third score of 1.2, network devices are not deployed for cross-time slot scheduling.

[0133] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the priority information includes high priority, medium priority, and low priority. The method by which the network device determines the power-saving configuration scheme based on the priority information, i.e., the method proposed in step 106, may include the following steps:

[0134] Step 106a: Determine the first level based on the high-priority energy-saving characteristics, and configure the corresponding first energy-saving parameters for the first level to obtain the first level energy-saving configuration information.

[0135] In some embodiments of this application, the network device determines the power-saving configuration scheme based on priority information; in some embodiments of this application, the network device can determine the first level according to the high-priority power-saving characteristics, and configure the corresponding first power-saving parameters for the first level to obtain the first level power-saving configuration information.

[0136] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the first level represents the level that only enables high-priority power-saving features, the first level corresponds to the first power-saving parameter, and the first power-saving parameter represents the power-saving parameter that prioritizes network performance.

[0137] For example, in an embodiment of this application, based on the high-priority energy-saving characteristics determined in the foregoing examples, the first-level energy-saving configuration information can be as shown in Table 3 below:

[0138] Table 3

[0139]

[0140] Step 106b: Determine the second level based on the high-priority and medium-priority energy-saving characteristics, and configure the corresponding second energy-saving parameters for the second level to obtain the second-level energy-saving configuration information.

[0141] In some embodiments of this application, the network device determines a power-saving configuration scheme based on priority information; in some embodiments of this application, the network device can determine a second level based on high-priority power-saving characteristics and medium-priority power-saving characteristics, and configure corresponding second power-saving parameters for the second level to obtain second-level power-saving configuration information.

[0142] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the second level represents the level at which the high-priority and medium-priority power-saving features are enabled. The second level corresponds to the second power-saving parameter, which represents the power-saving parameter that balances network performance and power-saving effect.

[0143] For example, in an embodiment of this application, based on the high-priority and medium-priority power-saving characteristics determined in the foregoing examples, the obtained second-level power-saving configuration information can be shown in Table 4 below:

[0144] Table 4

[0145]

[0146] Step 106c: Determine the third level based on the high-priority, medium-priority, and low-priority energy-saving characteristics, and configure the corresponding third energy-saving parameters for the third level to obtain the third-level energy-saving configuration information.

[0147] In some embodiments of this application, the network device determines a power-saving configuration scheme based on priority information. In some embodiments of this application, the network device can determine a third level based on high-priority power-saving characteristics, medium-priority power-saving characteristics, and low-priority power-saving characteristics, and configure corresponding third power-saving parameters for the third level to obtain third-level power-saving configuration information.

[0148] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the third level represents the level of enabling high-priority, medium-priority and low-priority power-saving features. The third level corresponds to the third power-saving parameter, which represents a power-saving parameter that is beneficial to power saving, that is, a power-saving parameter that is beneficial to reducing power consumption.

[0149] Therefore, in the embodiments of this application, the power-saving configuration scheme includes a first-level power-saving configuration information, a second-level power-saving configuration information, and a third-level power-saving configuration information.

[0150] For example, in an embodiment of this application, based on the high-priority, medium-priority, and low-priority power-saving characteristics determined in the foregoing examples, the obtained third-level power-saving configuration information can be shown in Table 5 below:

[0151] Table 5

[0152]

[0153] Furthermore, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of the power-saving method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 5 ,like Figure 5 As shown in the embodiments of this application, after the network device obtains the network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured, i.e., after step 101, the following steps may be included:

[0154] Step 107: If the amount of network optimization measurement data is less than the first data amount threshold, then power saving configuration will not be performed on the terminal to be configured.

[0155] In the embodiments of this application, after the network device obtains the network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured, if the amount of the network optimization measurement data is less than a first data amount threshold, the network device will not perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured.

[0156] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, if the amount of network optimization measurement data is less than the first data amount threshold, it means that the terminal to be configured may only support network optimization capabilities, but has not performed sufficient network optimization related measurements and reporting behaviors, and has not achieved the effect of network optimization. Therefore, power saving configuration is not performed on the terminal to be configured, that is, no power saving features of the terminal to be configured are enabled.

[0157] Furthermore, in embodiments of this application, before the network device acquires the network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured, i.e., before step 101, the following steps may be included:

[0158] Step 108: Obtain network optimization capability information and power saving feature capability information sent by the terminal to be configured.

[0159] In the embodiments of this application, before obtaining network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured, the network device may obtain network optimization capability information and power saving characteristic capability information sent by the terminal to be configured.

[0160] For example, in an embodiment of this application, during the process of a terminal to be configured registering in a cell, the network device can receive network optimization capability information and power saving feature capability information sent or reported by the terminal to be configured.

[0161] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, if the network device does not obtain the network optimization capability information sent by the terminal to be configured, it indicates that the terminal to be configured may not have network optimization capability, and power-saving configuration of the terminal to be configured is not required.

[0162] Step 109: Determine the types of network optimization capabilities supported by the terminal to be configured based on the network optimization capability information; wherein, the network optimization measurement data corresponds to the types of network optimization capabilities.

[0163] In the embodiments of this application, after obtaining the network optimization capability information and power saving characteristic capability information sent by the terminal to be configured, the network device can determine the types of network optimization capabilities supported by the terminal to be configured based on the network optimization capability information; wherein, the network optimization measurement data corresponds to the types of network optimization capabilities.

[0164] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the network device can parse the network optimization capability information to determine the types of network optimization capabilities supported by the terminal to be configured.

[0165] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the network device can record the specific types of network optimization capabilities that the terminal to be configured can support by setting a specific identifier.

[0166] For example, in embodiments of this application, network optimization capabilities may include CSI-RS L3 measurement, MDT, sensor measurement, Bluetooth measurement, GNSS location reporting, etc.

[0167] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the network optimization measurement data obtained by the network device from the network optimization data sent by the terminal to be configured is obtained by measuring based on the types of network optimization capabilities supported by the terminal to be configured; that is, the network optimization measurement data corresponds to the types of network optimization capabilities.

[0168] For example, in an embodiment of this application, during the cell registration process, the terminal A to be configured sends network optimization capability information to the base station (network device). The base station determines that the terminal A to be configured supports CSI-RS L3 measurement and MDT by parsing the network optimization capability information, and records it through a specific identifier.

[0169] For example, in an embodiment of this application, during the cell registration process, the terminal A to be configured sends network optimization capability information to the base station (network device). The base station parses the network optimization capability information to determine that the terminal A to be configured supports all types of network optimization capabilities, such as CSI-RS L3 measurement, MDT, Sensor measurement, Bluetooth measurement, and GNSS location reporting, and records them through a specific identifier.

[0170] Step 110: Determine the types of power-saving features supported by the terminal to be configured based on the power-saving feature capability information.

[0171] In the embodiments of this application, after determining the types of network optimization capabilities supported by the terminal to be configured based on the network optimization capability information, the network device can determine the types of power-saving features supported by the terminal to be configured based on the power-saving feature capability information.

[0172] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the network device can parse the power-saving feature capability information to determine the types of power-saving features supported by the terminal to be configured.

[0173] For example, in an embodiment of this application, the base station (network device) parses the power-saving feature capability information sent by the terminal to be configured and determines that the terminal to be configured supports two power-saving features: C-DRX and BWP.

[0174] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the base station (network device) parses the power-saving feature capability information sent by the terminal to be configured, and determines that the terminal to be configured supports all power-saving features such as C-DRX, BWP, intelligent pre-scheduling, overheat protection, cross-time slot scheduling, WUS, maximum MIMO layer limit, UAI, SkipUplinkTxDynamic, and secondary cell hibernation.

[0175] Furthermore, in embodiments of this application, after the network device determines the types of power-saving features supported by the terminal to be configured based on the power-saving feature capability information, i.e. after step 110, the following steps may be included:

[0176] Step 111: If the first power-saving feature is not included in the power-saving feature types supported by the terminal to be configured, then the first power-saving feature will not be configured when configuring the terminal to be configured for power saving.

[0177] In the embodiments of this application, after the network device determines the types of power-saving features supported by the terminal to be configured based on the power-saving feature capability information, if the types of power-saving features supported by the terminal to be configured do not include the first power-saving feature, then the first power-saving feature is not configured when configuring the terminal to be configured for power saving.

[0178] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the power-saving feature that the terminal to be configured does not support is the first power-saving feature.

[0179] For example, in an embodiment of this application, if the power-saving features supported by the terminal to be configured do not include intelligent pre-scheduling, then intelligent pre-scheduling will not be configured when the network device performs power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured.

[0180] Furthermore, in embodiments of this application, before the network device determines the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and a preset data volume threshold, i.e. before step 102, the following steps may be included:

[0181] Step 112: Determine whether the terminal to be configured meets the preset conditions for power-saving configuration.

[0182] In the embodiments of this application, before determining the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and the preset data volume threshold, the network device may first determine whether the terminal to be configured meets the preset conditions for power saving configuration.

[0183] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the preset conditions refer to the data volume of network optimization measurement data being greater than or equal to the basic data volume threshold and / or the terminal to be configured supporting network optimization capabilities corresponding to the network optimization measurement data.

[0184] Among them, the basic data volume threshold is equal to the first data volume threshold.

[0185] Step 113: If the conditions are met, perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured based on the network optimization measurement data, determine the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data, and perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level.

[0186] In the embodiments of this application, after determining whether the terminal to be configured meets the preset conditions for power-saving configuration, the network device performs power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured based on network optimization measurement data if the conditions are met, determines the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data, and performs power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level.

[0187] In other words, in the embodiments of this application, the network device will perform subsequent power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured only when the network device determines that the amount of network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured is greater than or equal to the basic data amount threshold, and / or the terminal to be configured supports the network optimization capability corresponding to the network optimization measurement data.

[0188] Step 114: Otherwise, do not configure the terminal to be configured for power saving.

[0189] In the embodiments of this application, after determining whether the terminal to be configured meets the preset conditions for power-saving configuration, the network device does not perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured if the preset conditions are not met.

[0190] Furthermore, based on the above-mentioned energy-saving methods, for example, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the implementation process of the power-saving method proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 6 ,like Figure 6 The diagram shows the main flow of the power-saving method. First, the network device obtains the network optimization capability information sent by the terminal to be configured (step 201). Then, the network device determines whether the terminal to be configured supports network optimization capability (step 202). If the terminal to be configured does not support network optimization capability, then power-saving configuration is not performed on the terminal to be configured (step 203). If the terminal to be configured supports network optimization capability, then the network device determines whether the first data volume threshold is reached based on the network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured (step 204). If the first data volume threshold is reached, the data volume level of the network optimization measurement data can be determined, and power-saving configuration is performed according to the corresponding power-saving configuration information (step 205). If the network optimization measurement data sent by the terminal to be configured does not reach the first data volume threshold, then power-saving configuration is also not performed on the terminal to be configured (step 203).

[0191] In summary, the power-saving method proposed in this application can classify and categorize various power-saving features, helping the network side to clearly and rationally manage and configure these features, reducing the impact on the network and achieving a balance between network optimization and power saving. Furthermore, it can help network devices support network optimization-related functions, reduce the cost of network operation and optimization for operators, solve the problem of blind spots in existing network coverage, and improve user experience. Moreover, the power-saving method in this application does not have additional requirements for network devices and is relatively easy to implement.

[0192] This application provides a power-saving method in which a network device acquires network optimization measurement data sent by a terminal to be configured; determines the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume and a preset data volume threshold; and performs power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level. Therefore, in this application, when power-saving configuration is required for a terminal to be configured, the network device can first acquire the network optimization measurement data of the terminal to be configured, then determine the corresponding data volume level based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data, and finally perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level. This allows the terminal to save power while reducing its impact on the network, achieving a balance between network optimization and power saving, and improving the terminal's power-saving capability.

[0193] In another embodiment of this application, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the network device structure proposed in the embodiments of this application.

[0204] Furthermore, the determining unit 12 is also configured to, before determining the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and the preset data volume threshold, determine whether the terminal to be configured meets the preset conditions for power-saving configuration; if the conditions are met, determine the data volume level corresponding to the network optimization measurement data based on the data volume of the network optimization measurement data and the preset data volume threshold; and perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured according to the power-saving configuration information corresponding to the data volume level; otherwise, do not perform power-saving configuration on the terminal to be configured.

[0205] Furthermore, the preset condition is that the amount of network optimization measurement data is greater than or equal to the basic data amount threshold and / or the terminal to be configured supports network optimization capabilities corresponding to the network optimization measurement data.

[0212] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the network device structure proposed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 ,like Figure 8 As shown, the network device 10 proposed in this application embodiment may further include a processor 14, a memory 15 storing instructions executable by the processor 14, and further, the network device 10 may also include a communication interface 16 and a bus 17 for connecting the processor 14, the memory 15 and the communication interface 16.

It is understood that for different devices, the electronic device used to implement the above-mentioned processor function can also be other types, and this application embodiment does not specifically limit this. The processor 14 may also include a memory 15, which can be connected to the processor 14. The memory 15 is used to store executable program code, which includes computer operation instructions. The memory 15 may include high-speed RAM memory and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least two disk drives.

[0214] In embodiments of this application, bus 17 is used to connect communication interface 16, processor 14, and memory 15, as well as the mutual communication between these devices.
