[0032] It should be noted that the executor of the cell wake-up method of this embodiment is a cell wake-up device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware, and can be configured in a network device, without limitation.

[0033] The cell wake-up method in the embodiment of the present disclosure is executed by the first base station in the base station cluster, and the base station cluster also includes: a second base station and multiple candidate third base stations, wherein the base station cluster can be a grid data processing of the longitude and latitude of the base station, and the grid is used as a dimension to divide the n sites in L*M grids into a base station cluster ((L, M, n values ​​can be dynamically set according to needs, and the entire network is divided into several base station clusters in this way), the first base station can be the control base station in the base station cluster, the second base station and multiple candidate third base stations can be the controlled base stations in the base station cluster, the control base station can monitor all controlled base stations in the base station cluster, when the base station in the base station cluster suddenly fails, the control base station can automatically analyze the surrounding cells that can be used for compensation coverage, evaluate the number of cells that need to be awakened, formulate and issue corresponding wake-up strategies, and wake up the corresponding cells.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the cell wake-up method includes:

[0035] S101: Receive resource occupancy information sent by a second base station.

[0036] The resource occupancy information is used to describe the resource occupancy status of the first cell served by the second base station.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, resource occupancy information may include: at least one of the following: a first utilization rate of an uplink physical resource block (PRB); a second utilization rate of a downlink physical resource block (PRB); and the number of connections of a radio resource control (RRC).

[0038] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a communication connection is established between the first base station and the second base station, that is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first base station can receive the resource occupancy information of the second base station sent by the second base station based on the communication link between the first base station and the second base station.

[0039] S102: Determine the number of cells that need to be woken up according to the resource occupancy information.

[0040] After receiving the resource occupancy information sent by the second base station, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine the number of cells that need to be woken up according to the resource occupancy information.

[0041] In some embodiments, the number of cells to be awakened is determined based on the resource occupancy information, and the resource demand of the cells to be awakened is evaluated based on the collected resource occupancy information and a set threshold. The number of cells to be awakened is determined based on the resource demand.

[0042] Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of cells that need to be woken up is determined based on resource occupancy information, which may be by obtaining a first reference utilization of an uplink RPB, a second reference utilization of a downlink RPB, and a reference number of connections of an RRC, and determining a first number based on the first reference utilization and the first utilization, and then determining a second number based on the second reference utilization and the second utilization, and then determining a third number based on the number of connections and the reference number of connections, and determining the number of cells based on the first number, the second number, and the third number.

[0043] Among them, the theoretical average best bearer utilization per carrier predetermined for the uplink RPB can be called the first reference utilization, the theoretical average best bearer utilization per carrier predetermined for the downlink RPB can be called the second reference utilization, and the theoretical average best perceived bearer user number per carrier predetermined for the RRC can be called the reference connection number.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a calculation example for determining the first quantity according to the first reference utilization and the first utilization is as follows:

[0045]

[0046] Among them, ULPRB j is the first utilization rate, is the first reference utilization rate, and 1.1 is the calculated first quantity.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, according to the second reference utilization rate and the second utilization rate, a calculation example for determining the second quantity is as follows:

[0048]

[0049] Among them, DLPRB j is the second utilization rate, is the second reference utilization rate, and 0.9 is the calculated second quantity.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a calculation example for determining the third number according to the number of connections and the reference number of connections is as follows:

[0051]

[0052] Among them, RRC j is the number of connections, is the reference connection quantity, and 0.8 is the calculated third quantity.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the first number, the second number and the third number are determined, the number of cells may be determined according to the first number, the second number and the third number.

[0054] In some embodiments, the number of cells is determined based on the first number, the second number and the third number. The average number between the first number, the second number and the third number may be determined, and the average number determined above may be used as the number of cells. Alternatively, the maximum number between the first number, the second number and the third number may be used as the number of cells. There is no limitation on this.

[0055] Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of cells is determined based on the first number, the second number and the third number, which may be to determine the maximum number among the first number, the second number and the third number, round up the maximum number, and use the rounded number as the number of cells.

[0056] That is to say, referring to the above example, the calculated first number is 1.1, the calculated second number is 0.9, and the calculated third number is 0.8. The maximum number 1.1 among the first number, the second number and the third number can be determined, and then 1.1 can be rounded up to 2, and the rounded-up 2 can be used as the number of cells.

[0057] S103: Determine some target third base stations from a plurality of candidate third base stations, where the number of the some target base stations is the same as the number of cells.

[0058] After determining the number of cells that need to be awakened based on resource occupancy information, the embodiment of the present disclosure can determine some target third base stations from multiple candidate third base stations, that is, the candidate third base stations whose number of cells is determined from multiple candidate base stations can be used as target third base stations.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, each second cell has a corresponding compensation priority, and a cell with a higher compensation priority will be used as a cell to be woken up first.

[0060] In the disclosed embodiment, the compensation priority of the second cell can be determined based on the following method: the compensation neighboring area of ​​the macro station can be composed of surrounding macro stations, indoor cells of this station or cells with the same coverage as this station. The compensation neighboring area of ​​the indoor cell can only be compensated by surrounding macro stations or macro stations at the same site. Based on the longitude and latitude and azimuth of the cell, the angle range of the normal direction of the azimuth of a certain cell is calculated. When the distance between the surrounding neighboring station and this cell is less than d (the distance d can vary according to the needs of the scene), this cell can compensate for the surrounding qualified base stations. The traversal calculation is performed in this way to obtain the compensation neighboring areas of all cells in the entire cluster, and they are prioritized according to distance and azimuth. The second cell served by the candidate third base station with the closest distance and the best angle has the highest compensation priority.

[0061] Optionally, in some embodiments, some target third base stations are determined from multiple candidate third base stations, the number of second base stations in the base station cluster is determined, and the compensation priorities are sorted from large to small, and when the number of base stations is greater than the number of cells and the number of cells is not zero, the candidate third base station corresponding to the second cell with a higher number of cells and a higher corresponding compensation priority is determined as the target third base station.

[0062] That is to say, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the number of base stations is greater than the number of cells and the number of cells is not zero, the candidate third base station corresponding to the second cell with the highest number of cells and the highest corresponding compensation priority ranking is determined as the target third base station.

[0063] For example, assuming that there are i second cells and the number of cells to be awakened is 2, the second cells served by the candidate third base station in the "Cluster Cell Information Table" are sorted in order of compensation priority: 460-00-ID1

[0064] -CI1, 460-00-ID2-CI2, ..., 460-00-ID4-CI4, 460-00-IDi-CIj.

[0065] Among them, 460-00 represents the operator's PLMN, IDi represents the base station ID to which the second cell belongs, and CIj represents the cell-level number of the second cell in the base station number IDi. The energy-saving state of the second cell "460-00-ID1-CI1" is "1110", and the energy-saving state of the second cell "460-00-ID2-CI2" is "1110" (each second cell has a corresponding energy-saving state flag). According to the number of cells determined above, only 460-00-ID1-CI1 and 460-00-ID2-CI2 with higher compensation priority need to be awakened, and there is no restriction on this.

[0066] S104: Send a cell wake-up instruction to the target third base station, where the cell wake-up instruction is used to wake up the second cell served by the target third base station.

[0067] Among them, the cell wake-up instruction can be a cell shutdown instruction for waking up the second cell served by the target third base station. The cell shutdown instruction can be used by the target third base station to turn off the symbol shutdown, channel shutdown, and carrier shutdown functions, so that the corresponding second cell exits the energy-saving mode to wake up the second cell so that the second cell can carry the communication services of the second base station.

[0068] That is to say, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first base station may send a cell wake-up instruction to the target third base station via the communication link between the first base station and the target third base station after determining the target third cell, and then, the third base station may wake up the second cell served by the target third base station based on the cell wake-up instruction.

[0069] In the disclosed embodiment, the first base station receives resource occupancy information sent by the second base station, wherein the resource occupancy information is used to describe the resource occupancy of the first cell served by the second base station, and determines the number of cells that need to be awakened based on the resource occupancy information, and then determines some target third base stations from multiple candidate third base stations, wherein the number of some target base stations is the same as the number of cells, and sends a cell wake-up instruction to the target third base station, wherein the cell wake-up instruction is used to wake up the second cell served by the target third base station, so that the first base station can automatically analyze the second cell around the first cell that can be used to compensate for the coverage of the first cell, and promptly formulate and complete the wake-up strategy for the second cell, thereby effectively improving the wake-up efficiency of the second cell and effectively ensuring user perception.

[0070] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of a cell wake-up method proposed in another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, the cell wake-up method includes:

[0072] S201: When it is determined that a second base station fails and / or communication between the second base station and the first base station is interrupted, and fault repair failure information sent by the second base station is received, receive resource occupancy information sent by the second base station.

[0073] The fault repair failure information is used to indicate that the fault repair of the second base station has failed, and / or the repair of the communication interruption between the second base station and the first base station has failed.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first base station will monitor the operating status and alarm status of the controlled base stations in the base station cluster in real time to determine whether the second base station has a fault. At the same time, the first base station will perform a link detection between the second base station and the first base station at a fixed period every S seconds. When it is determined that the second base station has a fault, and / or the communication between the second base station and the first base station is interrupted, the first base station sends a fault repair instruction to the second base station, so that the second base station attempts to repair the second base station fault and / or the communication interruption between the second base station and the first base station, or the first base station detects that the communication between the second base station and the first base station is interrupted, and attempts to reconnect the link three times.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, if fault repair failure information indicating failure to repair a second base station fault and / or failure to repair a communication interruption between the second base station and the first base station is received, resource occupancy information sent by the second base station can be obtained, and then, based on the resource occupancy information of the second base station, the surrounding cells of the second base station can be woken up.

[0076] S202: Generate and send a fault repair instruction to the second base station, where the fault repair instruction is used to instruct the second base station to repair the fault and / or to instruct the second base station to restore the communication connection with the first base station.

[0077] The fault repair instruction is used to instruct the second base station to repair the fault, and / or to instruct the second base station to restore the communication connection with the first base station.

[0078] That is to say, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when it is determined that the second base station has a fault and / or the communication between the second base station and the first base station is interrupted, the first base station may send a fault repair instruction to the second base station, wherein the fault repair instruction is used to instruct the second base station to repair the fault and / or to instruct to restore the communication connection between the second base station and the first base station. Since the fault repair instruction is generated and sent to the second base station when it is determined that the second base station has a fault and / or the communication between the second base station and the first base station is interrupted, the second base station can attempt to repair the fault and / or attempt to restore the communication connection between the second base station and the first base station.

[0079] S203: Receive resource occupancy information sent by the second base station, where the resource occupancy information is used to describe resource occupancy status of the first cell served by the second base station.

[0080] S204: Determine the number of cells that need to be woken up according to the resource occupancy information.

[0081] S205: Determine some target third base stations from a plurality of candidate third base stations, where the number of the some target base stations is the same as the number of cells.

[0082] S206: Send a cell wake-up instruction to the target third base station, where the cell wake-up instruction is used to wake up the second cell served by the target third base station.

[0083] The description of S203 - S206 can be specifically referred to the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0084] S207: It is detected that a failure occurs in the first base station.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the failure of the first base station refers to an event that occurs to the first base station causing the first base station to be unable to operate normally.

[0086] S208: Determine a controlled base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance from the multiple base station distances.

[0087] In the disclosed embodiment, each base station in the base station cluster has a corresponding base station distance, and the base station distance is the sum of multiple distances between the corresponding base station and multiple other base stations in the base station cluster.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second base station and / or the candidate third base station are controlled base stations, the first base station is a controlling base station, and the controlling base station is a base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance among multiple base station distances.

[0089] That is to say, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, assuming that there are n base stations in the base station cluster, corresponding to N1, N2, N3...Nn respectively, multiple examples between each base station and each other base station can be calculated. For example, the distance between N1 and N2 is d1-2, the distance between N1 and N3 is d1-3, the distance between N1 and Nn is d1-n, the distance between N2 and N1 is N2-1, the distance between N2 and N3 is N2-3, and the distance between N2 and Nn is N2-n. Then, it can be determined that the base station distance corresponding to the N1 base station is D1=(d1-2+d1-3+...+d1-n), and the base station distance corresponding to the second base station is Dn=(dn-1+dn-2+...+dn-(n-1)). Then, the minimum base station distance min{D1,D2,...Di,...Dn} among the multiple base station distances can be selected, and when Di is the minimum, the Di base station is determined to be the first base station.

[0090] When the embodiment of the present disclosure monitors that the first base station has a fault, a controlled base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance can be determined from multiple base station distances. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the control base station fails, a controlled base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance can be determined from controlled base stations such as the second base station and / or candidate third base station.

[0091] S209: Send a control instruction to the controlled base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance, wherein the control instruction is used to instruct the controlled base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance to be used as a new control base station.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after determining a controlled base station corresponding to a minimum base station distance from multiple base station distances, a control instruction can be sent to the controlled base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance, wherein the control instruction is used to instruct the controlled base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance to be used as a new control base station.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a control base station in a base station cluster fails, a new control base station is automatically reselected from other controlled base stations, so that the new control base station can continue to trigger and execute subsequent cell wake-up methods in a coherent manner, thereby effectively improving communication quality.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is determined that a fault occurs in the second base station and / or the communication between the second base station and the first base station is interrupted, and fault repair failure information sent by the second base station is received, resource occupancy information sent by the second base station is received, and a fault repair instruction is generated and sent to the second base station, so that the second base station can attempt to repair the fault and / or attempt to restore the communication connection between the second base station and the first base station, and then the resource occupancy information sent by the second base station is received, and the number of cells that need to be awakened is determined based on the resource occupancy information, and then some target third base stations are determined from multiple candidate third base stations, and a cell wake-up instruction is sent to the target third base station, so that the first base station can automatically analyze the surrounding areas of the first cell that can be used The second cell covered by the first cell is compensated, and the wake-up strategy of the second cell is formulated and completed in time, so as to effectively improve the wake-up efficiency of the second cell and effectively ensure user perception, and then monitor that the first base station has a failure, and determine the controlled base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance from multiple base station distances, and then send a control instruction to the controlled base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance, wherein the control instruction is used to indicate that the controlled base station corresponding to the minimum base station distance will be used as a new control base station, so that when a control base station in the base station cluster fails, a new control base station can be automatically reselected from other controlled base stations, so that the new control base station can continue to trigger the execution of subsequent cell wake-up methods in a coherent manner, thereby effectively improving communication quality.

[0096] It should be noted that the executor of the cell wake-up method of this embodiment is a cell wake-up device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware, and can be configured in a network device, without limitation.
