Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of 5G base station energy saving technology, and specifically to a 5G base station energy saving method based on deep learning prediction. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread deployment of 5G (fifth generation mobile communication technology) networks, the energy consumption problem of base stations has become increasingly prominent. 5G base station equipment such as baseband processing units (BBU), remote radio units (RRU) and antenna units (AAU) consume a lot of power during operation, especially when traffic is low, the equipment remains in operation, resulting in unnecessary energy waste. Therefore, how to reduce the energy consumption of base stations through effective means while ensuring the quality of network services has become an important challenge in the field of 5G technology.

[0003] Traditional base station energy-saving methods mostly rely on simple shutdown strategies, usually shutting down services in certain cells at night or during specific periods of time to reduce energy consumption. Although this extensive energy-saving method can reduce power consumption to a certain extent, its limitations are becoming increasingly apparent as user demand scenarios become more complex. For example, downtown areas may still have high traffic demands even at night, and at transportation hubs such as train stations and airports, there are also a large number of vehicles running at night, resulting in a significant amount of traffic. Therefore, the traditional "one-size-fits-all" shutdown mode can no longer adapt to these diverse and dynamic scenario requirements, and is likely to result in reduced service quality and poor user experience.

[0004] In order to improve the refined management of energy conservation, it is particularly necessary to analyze the historical traffic data of each site and formulate personalized energy conservation strategies according to real-time needs. However, this method requires a lot of manpower investment. As the number of sites and the amount of data increase, the cost and efficiency of manual analysis are difficult to meet the needs. Operation and maintenance personnel face tremendous pressure when processing a large amount of site data, and the input-output ratio is low, which makes it impossible to achieve efficient operation and maintenance management on a large scale.

[0005] In this context, 5G operators urgently need to introduce artificial intelligence (AI) technology to realize intelligent energy-saving management. AI technology can analyze the historical data and real-time traffic volume of each base station, automatically generate dynamic energy-saving strategies, and achieve "one station, one policy". This method can not only adapt to various complex traffic scenarios, but also reduce dependence on manual operation and maintenance, reduce operating costs, and maintain a balance between user experience and key performance indicators (KPIs) while saving energy.

[0006] However, the existing 5G base station energy-saving technology still has obvious shortcomings: the response to traffic fluctuations is not timely enough, it relies on fixed rules, the activation mechanism is delayed, and it fails to make full use of historical and real-time data for optimized scheduling. This leads to limited energy-saving effects and cannot meet the ever-changing network needs. Therefore, a more intelligent, flexible and efficient energy-saving method is urgently needed to deal with the energy consumption management problems of 5G base stations in changing business scenarios and achieve more accurate energy-saving control. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a 5G base station energy-saving method based on deep learning prediction to solve the problems mentioned in the prior art, such as the lack of timely response to traffic fluctuations, reliance on manual operation and maintenance and fixed rules, delayed activation mechanism, and failure to make full use of historical and real-time data for optimized scheduling.

This method not only effectively reduces operating costs, but also reduces carbon emissions, conforming to the global trend and requirements of energy conservation and emission reduction, and has both environmental and economic benefits.

[0065] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0068] Step S1: The intelligent network management center collects characteristic data related to 5G transmission in the 5G base station, cleans the collected characteristic data, and obtains pre-processed data.

[0069] Step S11: The intelligent network management center collects cell characteristic data related to BBU, AAU, RRU and transmission in the 5G base station.

[0070] Step S12: The collected feature data are resampled and sorted at hourly intervals, and data cleaning is performed on them. All missing data are filled with zero values, and the daily data is strictly divided into hours, for a total of 24 hours. If the data of a node is missing, the mean value of the cell is used to fill it in to ensure data integrity and obtain preprocessed data.

[0071] Step S2: According to the coverage of the current 5G base station cell, assign data tags to it to obtain cell pre-processing data with tags. Combined with the historical data of the cell, set the deep sleep threshold and activation threshold, and divide the cell into working period, energy-saving period and sleep period based on the data tags.

[0072] Step S21: Assign data labels to each cell data according to the cell location and coverage in the preprocessed data. The labels include subway stations, industrial parks, rural areas, high-speed rail stations, large venues, schools, shopping malls, office buildings, etc. In this embodiment, the data label is "teaching building".

[0073] Step S22: Based on the historical data of the cell, a deep sleep threshold and an activation threshold are set for each cell, and the working period, energy-saving period and sleep period of each cell are divided based on the data label.

[0074] In this embodiment, the deep sleep threshold is set for each cell as the 5th percentile of the PRB utilization historical data, the activation threshold is set as the 10th percentile of the PRB utilization historical data, and then based on the data label "teaching building", the cell is divided into working hours 08~12, 14~22, energy-saving hours 07~08, 12~14, 22~00, and sleep hours 00~07. During the working hours, the 5G base station must operate normally; during the sleep hours, the base station should be in a deep sleep state; and during the energy-saving period, whether the 5G base station takes energy-saving measures is dynamically determined by the method of the present invention.

[0075] Step S3: Divide the cell pre-processed data with data labels into training set, validation set and test set in chronological order. Take the cell pre-processed data with data labels as input, build a neural network consisting of feature extraction layer and feature fusion layer, and train the 5G base station PRB utilization prediction model based on the neural network. After multiple iterations, the model with the best performance on the test set is finally selected as the optimal model and deployed to the intelligent network management center.

[0076] Furthermore, the cell pre-processed data with data labels are divided into training set, validation set and test set in a ratio of 7:2:1 in chronological order to ensure the continuity and integrity of the training data.

[0077] Step S31: Design a feature extraction layer of a 5G base station PRB utilization prediction model based on a neural network, such as Figure 2 As shown, the specific steps are as follows:

In this example, is 72, is 8, is 1.

[0079] Step S312: The feature extraction layer includes a transposition layer and three pooling layers, forming a four-layer feature pyramid structure. The transposition layer is used to Transpose to get , as the output of the first layer. The kernel size of each layer of the three-layer pooling layer is 3, the stride is 2, and the padding is 1. The present invention uses the feature pyramid method (FPN, Feature pyramid Network), and the output of each layer is ,in , the output of each layer is calculated as follows:

[0085] ;

[0086] in, Indicates filling, the value is 1; Indicates the window size, the value is 3; Indicates the step size, the value is 2.

[0087] The downsampling operation of the above pooling layer captures a wider range of contextual information, improves the global feature extraction capability of the model, and helps the model focus on key features, ignores irrelevant information, and improves the accuracy of prediction.

[0088] Step S32: Design a feature fusion layer of a 5G base station PRB utilization prediction model based on a neural network. The specific steps are as follows:

[0089] Step S321: The feature fusion layer includes eight linear layers and three concatenation layers. The feature pyramid method of step S312 is used to obtain four layers of feature pyramid output, and each layer output is combined to form a multi-scale temporal feature. ,like Figure 3 As shown, four linear layers are used to transform the temporal features of the four-layer feature pyramid Mapping to intermediate features , expressed as ;

[0090] ;

[0091] ;

[0092] ;

[0093] ;

[0094] in Represents the linear operation of a linear layer.

[0095] Then by passing the Layer characteristics and The layer features are concatenated in the time dimension through the concatenation layer, and the first The output features are expressed as .

[0102] ;

[0103] in, represents the transpose operation, express The weight matrix in the linear layer.

[0104] Step S33: train and test the model. The specific steps are as follows:

[0105] Step S331: First set the total number of training epochs to 80 and the initial learning rate to 0.01. After each epoch, apply the model to the validation set and calculate its loss. If it is found that the model performance is no longer improved, the learning rate is halved to further optimize the model training.

[0106] Step S332: The root mean square error RMSE between the 5G base station PRB utilization predicted by the model and the actual PRB utilization in the test set is used as the loss function of the model, expressed as:

[0107] ;

[0108] in Represents the prediction results Predict the PRB utilization value for one time step in the future, Indicates the actual PRB utilization value of this time step; express The total number of future time steps to predict.

[0109] The Adam optimizer is used to optimize the network parameters to gradually reduce the loss value.

[0110] Step S333: Save the weight parameter corresponding to the lowest loss function value as the optimal weight parameter obtained during the training process as the optimal model.

[0111] Step S334: Apply the model to each 5G base station in the collection area, such as Figure 4 As shown, through the historical 72 time steps, the PRB utilization prediction results of each base station in the future 72 time steps are finally obtained.

[0112] Step S4: Input the preprocessed cell base station data into the trained 5G base station PRB utilization prediction model to generate the PRB utilization prediction result of the cell during the energy-saving period.

[0113] Step S5: During the energy-saving period, if the PRB utilization prediction result is higher than the deep sleep threshold, the cell is kept in normal operation; if it is lower than the threshold, the cell is put into deep sleep and a corresponding activation mechanism is configured to respond to the demand in a timely manner.

[0114] Furthermore, the activation mechanism is as follows Figure 1 As shown in the right half, when the user's 5G access request reaches the activation threshold, for example, if 5G access requests from different users greater than the activation threshold are received in the past 5 minutes, the base station will automatically wake up the cell in deep sleep state to ensure the normal operation of the network; if the access request does not reach the activation threshold, the cell will continue to maintain a deep sleep state to save energy.

[0115] It should be understood that the deep sleep threshold is not limited to the 5th percentile of the above-mentioned PRB utilization historical data, the activation threshold is not limited to the 10th percentile of the above-mentioned PRB utilization historical data, and the energy-saving period division is not limited to the above-mentioned period division, and no limitation is made here.
