Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an energy-saving control method, device, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In TDD (Time Division Duplexing) systems, the uplink and downlink share the same spectrum. Channel reciprocity allows TDD systems to use uplink channel estimates to shape the downlink channel. Therefore, TDD systems typically use multiple channels for beamforming to obtain shaping gain. However, multi-channel systems often experience low power utilization, making it necessary to study an energy-saving strategy for multi-channel systems.

[0003] A significant improvement of 5G networks compared to 4G networks is that multi-channel AAU (Active Antenna Unit) antennas can better support signal coverage in the vertical direction. Compared to the horizontal coverage of 4G networks, 5G networks support greater capacity while improving network signal coverage performance in the vertical direction.

[0004] The current energy-saving strategy for multi-channel AAUs in 5G NR TDD (New Radio Time Division Duplexing) networks is to randomly shut down 50% of the channels when energy saving is required. However, the vertical coverage performance of NR TDD networks must rely on the vertical beams of the NR TDD network for coverage. Therefore, the existing solution cannot guarantee the vertical network signal coverage performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an energy-saving control method, device, electronic device, and storage medium to solve the problem that existing technologies cannot guarantee network signal coverage performance in the vertical direction. This invention can guarantee network signal coverage performance in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring the user's experience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention provide an energy-saving control method, comprising:

[0007] Obtain the total traffic volume of the AAU to be controlled;

[0008] When the total traffic volume meets the preset energy-saving conditions, the channels of the AAU to be controlled are divided into several groups of first channel areas arranged in a vertical direction, and the traffic volume of each group of first channel areas is counted.

[0009] Based on the traffic volume, the channels in the AAU to be controlled are shut down.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, the step of shutting down the channels in the AAU to be controlled based on the traffic volume includes:

[0011] When the traffic volume of any group of first channel areas meets the preset traffic volume condition, n first channel areas that do not meet the traffic volume condition are selected for shutdown; where n > 0, and n is an integer;

[0012] When no group of first channel areas has traffic that meets the preset traffic conditions, the channels of the AAU to be controlled are divided into several groups of second channel areas arranged in the horizontal direction, and m second channel areas are selected for shutdown; where m > 0 and m is an integer.

[0013] As an improvement to the above scheme, when the traffic volume of any group of first channel areas meets the preset traffic volume condition, selecting n first channel areas that do not meet the traffic volume condition for shutdown includes:

[0014] When the traffic volume of any group of first channel areas meets the preset traffic volume condition, all first channel areas that do not meet the traffic volume condition are sorted in ascending order of traffic volume, and the first n first channel areas with the smallest traffic volume that do not meet the traffic volume condition are shut down.

[0015] As an improvement to the above solution, the traffic volume condition includes at least one of the following:

[0016] The current percentage of RRC connected users in the first channel area is greater than the preset first percentage threshold;

[0017] The proportion of total uplink and downlink traffic is greater than the preset second proportion threshold.

[0018] As an improvement to the above solution, after shutting down the channels in the AAU to be controlled according to the traffic volume, the energy-saving control method further includes:

[0019] Based on the SSB beam configuration of the cell corresponding to the AAU to be controlled before the channel is shut down, the SSB beam configuration of the cell corresponding to the AAU to be controlled after the channel is shut down is adjusted.

[0020] As an improvement to the above solution, after shutting down the channels in the AAU to be controlled according to the traffic volume, the energy-saving control method further includes:

[0021] Obtain performance metrics related to the AAU to be controlled;

[0022] When the indicator information meets the preset performance conditions, the channel that was turned off by the AAU to be controlled is connected, and the process returns to the step of obtaining the total traffic volume of the AAU to be controlled.

[0023] As an improvement to the above scheme, the energy-saving conditions include: the uplink PRB utilization rate is less than a preset first utilization rate threshold, the downlink PRB utilization rate is less than a preset second utilization rate threshold, and the maximum number of RRC connected users is less than a preset number of users threshold.

[0024] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention also provide an energy-saving control device, comprising:

[0025] The total traffic acquisition module is used to acquire the total traffic of the AAU to be controlled.

[0026] The group traffic acquisition module is used to divide the channel of the AAU to be controlled into several groups of first channel regions arranged in a vertical direction when the total traffic meets the preset energy saving conditions, and to count the traffic of each group of first channel regions.

[0028] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention also provide an electronic device, including a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor, wherein the processor implements the energy-saving control method as described above when executing the computer program.

[0029] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of the present invention also provide a computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including a stored computer program; wherein, when the computer program is executed, it controls the device where the computer-readable storage medium is located to perform the energy-saving control method as described above.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the energy-saving control method, device, electronic device and storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present invention firstly divides the channels of the AAU to be controlled into several groups of first channel regions arranged in the vertical direction, under the condition that the total traffic volume of the AAU to be controlled meets the preset energy-saving conditions. Then, the traffic volume of each group of first channel regions is counted. Finally, the channels in the AAU to be controlled are shut down according to the traffic volume. Taking into account the traffic volume of the AAU in the vertical direction, it can ensure the network signal coverage performance in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring the user's user experience.

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

[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an energy-saving control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the energy-saving control method comprising:

[0038] S1. Obtain the total traffic volume of the AAU to be controlled;

[0039] S2. When the total traffic volume meets the preset energy-saving conditions, the channels of the AAU to be controlled are divided into several groups of first channel areas arranged in the vertical direction, and the traffic volume of each group of first channel areas is counted.

[0040] S3. Based on the traffic volume, shut down the channels in the AAU to be controlled.

[0041] It should be noted that the first channel area refers to the total channel area where all channels of the AAU to be controlled are located as a whole. This total channel area is divided by q horizontal lines to obtain several groups of channel areas arranged in the vertical direction. The first channel area includes p rows of channels, where q > 0, q is an integer, and p > 0, p is an integer.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, firstly, when the total traffic volume of the AAU to be controlled meets the preset energy-saving conditions, the channels of the AAU to be controlled are divided into several groups of first channel regions arranged in the vertical direction. Then, the traffic volume of each group of first channel regions is counted. Finally, based on the traffic volume, the channels in the AAU to be controlled are shut down. Taking into account the traffic volume of the AAU in the vertical direction, the network signal coverage performance in the vertical direction can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the user's experience.

[0043] In one optional embodiment, shutting down the channel in the AAU to be controlled based on the traffic volume includes:

[0044] When the traffic volume of any group of first channel areas meets the preset traffic volume condition, n first channel areas that do not meet the traffic volume condition are selected for shutdown; where n > 0, and n is an integer;

[0045] When no group of first channel areas has traffic that meets the preset traffic conditions, the channels of the AAU to be controlled are divided into several groups of second channel areas arranged in the horizontal direction, and m second channel areas are selected for shutdown; where m > 0 and m is an integer.

[0046] It should be noted that the second channel area refers to the total channel area where all channels of the AAU to be controlled are located as a whole. This total channel area is divided by q vertical lines to obtain several groups of channel areas arranged in the horizontal direction. The second channel area includes p columns of channels, where q > 0, q is an integer, and p > 0, p is an integer.

[0047] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the AAU channel is divided into two groups of channel areas, one group including AAU channel 0 to channel 31, and the other group including AAU channel 32 to channel 63.

[0048] For any group of first channel areas where the traffic volume meets the preset traffic volume conditions:

[0049] When the total traffic volume of AAU channels 0 to 31 meets the traffic volume condition, but the total traffic volume of AAU channels 32 to 63 does not meet the traffic volume condition, AAU channels 32 to 63 will be shut down.

[0050] When the total traffic volume of AAU channels 32 to 63 meets the traffic volume condition, but the total traffic volume of AAU channels 0 to 31 does not meet the traffic volume condition, AAU channels 0 to 31 will be shut down.

[0051] In the case where no group of first channel areas meets the preset traffic volume conditions:

[0052] When the total traffic volume of AAU channels 0-31 and AAU channels 32-63 both fail to meet the aforementioned traffic volume conditions, it indicates that the users accessing the NR TDD cell are dispersed in different channels in the vertical direction. The channels of the AAU to be controlled are then divided into two groups arranged as a second channel region, such as... Figure 3 As shown, select one of the second channel regions to turn off, for example, turn off AAU channels 0 to 7, AAU channels 16 to 23, AAU channels 32 to 39 and AAU channels 48 to 55, or turn off AAU channels 8 to 15, AAU channels 24 to 31, AAU channels 40 to 47 and AAU channels 56 to 63.

[0053] Understandably, the number of channels to be closed in the first channel area and the number of channels to be closed in the second channel area can be set according to actual needs. For example, if 50% of the channels need to be closed, then the number of channels to be closed in the first channel area or the number of channels to be closed in the second channel area that meets the requirement of 50% of the channels can be selected.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the step of selecting n first channel regions that do not meet the preset traffic volume condition and shutting them down when the traffic volume of any group of first channel regions meets the preset traffic volume condition includes:

[0055] When the traffic volume of any group of first channel areas meets the preset traffic volume condition, all first channel areas that do not meet the traffic volume condition are sorted in ascending order of traffic volume, and the first n first channel areas with the smallest traffic volume that do not meet the traffic volume condition are shut down.

[0056] It is understood that, in the implementation of this invention, selecting the smallest n first channel areas that do not meet the traffic volume condition for shutdown can ensure that the signal coverage performance in the vertical direction is not affected to the greatest extent.

[0057] In one alternative embodiment, the traffic volume conditions include at least one of the following:

[0058] The current percentage of RRC connected users in the first channel area is greater than the preset first percentage threshold;

[0059] The proportion of total uplink and downlink traffic is greater than the preset second proportion threshold.

[0060] For example, for each channel of the 64-channel AAU in an NR TDD cell, the uplink and downlink traffic of RRC access users at different time periods are collected, and the uplink and downlink traffic are summed to generate the total uplink and downlink traffic of that channel;

[0061] The AAU channels are divided into two groups of channel areas. One group includes AAU channels 0 to 31, and the other group includes AAU channels 32 to 63. The traffic volume conditions include at least one of the following:

[0062] The ratio of the number of RRC connected users in AAU channels 0 to 31 or AAU channels 32 to 63 to the total number of RRC connected users in the NR TDD cell during the time period exceeds a first percentage threshold, such as 80%.

[0063] The ratio of the total uplink and downlink traffic of AAU channels 0 to 31 or AAU channels 32 to 63 to the total uplink and downlink traffic of the NR TDD cell during that time period exceeds the second percentage threshold, such as 90%.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, after shutting down the channels in the AAU to be controlled according to the traffic volume, the energy-saving control method further includes:

[0065] Based on the SSB beam configuration of the cell corresponding to the AAU to be controlled before the channel is shut down, the SSB beam configuration of the cell corresponding to the AAU to be controlled after the channel is shut down is adjusted.

[0066] For example, after turning off AAU channels 32 to 63 or AAU channels 0 to 31, the SSB (Synchronized Signal Block) beam configuration of the corresponding cell is adjusted to H8 or H2V2. H8 means that the SSB beam is configured with 8 beams horizontally, mainly for horizontal coverage performance. H2V2 means that the SSB beam is configured with 2 beams horizontally, which can take into account both horizontal and vertical coverage performance.

[0067] After shutting down AAU channels 0-7, 16-23, 32-39, and 48-55, or AAU channels 8-15, 24-31, 40-47, and 56-63, the SSB beam configuration of the corresponding cell is adjusted to V4 or H2V2. V4 refers to a vertical SSB beam configuration of 4 beams, mainly for vertical coverage performance. H2V2 refers to a horizontal SSB beam configuration of 2 beams, which can take into account both horizontal and vertical coverage performance.

[0068] This invention further ensures the access success rate of users in the vertical direction by adjusting the SSB beam configuration after the channel is turned off.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, before obtaining the total traffic volume of the AAU to be controlled, the energy-saving control method further includes:

[0070] Obtain the antenna weight parameters of the current network in which the AAU to be controlled is located. The antenna weight parameters include the horizontal beamwidth, vertical beamwidth, sub-beam horizontal beamwidth, sub-beam vertical beamwidth, and SSB beam configuration.

[0071] For example, mainstream NR TDD equipment manufacturers have developed fixed-weight beamforming schemes for AAU antennas after rigorous anechoic chamber testing and live network verification, as shown in Table 1. Network maintenance personnel can select one of the weight configurations according to the actual coverage scenario to complete weight optimization.

[0072] Table 1. 17 Standardized Weight Combinations for a Certain Manufacturer

[0073]

[0074]

[0075] Currently, NR TDD cells can support a maximum of 8 SSBs for broadcast beam configuration, as shown below:

[0076] The SSB beam is configured with 8 beams horizontally, i.e., H8, which corresponds to the Default0 and S0 modes in Table 1 and is mainly aimed at horizontal coverage performance.

[0077] The SSB beam is configured with 8 beams in the vertical direction, namely V8, which corresponds to the S11 mode and S16 mode in Table 1. It is mainly aimed at the coverage performance in the vertical direction.

[0078] The SSB beam configuration consists of 2 horizontal beams and 2 vertical beams, i.e., H2V2, which corresponds to the S3 / S4, S8 / S9, and S13 / S14 modes in Table 1, and can take into account the coverage performance in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0079] In an optional embodiment, after shutting down the channels in the AAU to be controlled according to the traffic volume, the energy-saving control method further includes:

[0080] Obtain performance metrics related to the AAU to be controlled;

[0081] When the indicator information meets the preset performance conditions, the channel that was turned off by the AAU to be controlled is connected, and the process returns to the step of obtaining the total traffic volume of the AAU to be controlled.

[0082] For example, after shutting down the channel in the AAU to be controlled, the indicator information before and after the shutdown is compared. For example, if the difference in the RRC connection success rate before and after the shutdown is greater than a preset first difference threshold, or the difference in the number of user complaints before and after the shutdown is greater than a preset second difference threshold, it indicates that the current shutdown strategy has affected the performance of the AAU to be controlled. The shut-down channel is then connected, and the process returns to step S1.

[0083] In one optional embodiment, the energy-saving conditions include: uplink PRB utilization rate being less than a preset first utilization rate threshold, downlink PRB utilization rate being less than a preset second utilization rate threshold, and the maximum number of RRC connected users being less than a preset number of users threshold.

[0084] For example, when the uplink and downlink PRB (Physical Resource Block) utilization of all channels of the AAU is less than 10%, and the maximum number of connected users of RRC (Radio Resource Control) is less than 5, it indicates that the channel is in a low-load period and should be turned off.

[0085] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a structural block diagram of an energy-saving control device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The energy-saving control device 10 includes:

[0086] Total traffic acquisition module 11 is used to acquire the total traffic of the AAU to be controlled;

[0087] The group traffic acquisition module 12 is used to divide the channel of the AAU to be controlled into several groups of first channel regions arranged in a vertical direction when the total traffic meets the preset energy saving conditions, and to count the traffic of each group of first channel regions.

[0088] The channel shutdown module 13 is used to shut down the channels in the AAU to be controlled according to the traffic volume.

[0089] Optionally, shutting down the channels in the AAU to be controlled based on the traffic volume includes:

[0090] When the traffic volume of any group of first channel areas meets the preset traffic volume condition, n first channel areas that do not meet the traffic volume condition are selected for shutdown; where n > 0, and n is an integer;

[0091] When no group of first channel areas has traffic that meets the preset traffic conditions, the channels of the AAU to be controlled are divided into several groups of second channel areas arranged in the horizontal direction, and m second channel areas are selected for shutdown; where m > 0 and m is an integer.

[0092] Optionally, when the traffic volume of any group of first channel areas meets the preset traffic volume condition, selecting n first channel areas that do not meet the traffic volume condition for shutdown includes:

[0094] Optionally, the traffic volume conditions include at least one of the following:

[0095] The current percentage of RRC connected users in the first channel area is greater than the preset first percentage threshold;
