[0069] The energy efficiency determination method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0070] The term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0071] The terms "first" and "second" and the like in the specification and drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, or to distinguish different processing of the same object, rather than to describe a specific order of objects.

[0072] In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof mentioned in the description of the present application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include other steps or units that are not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units that are inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0073] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0074] In order to facilitate the clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, the words "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and effects. Those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first", "second", etc. are not limiting the quantity and execution order.

[0075] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0076] In order to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the following briefly introduces the provisions on energy efficiency in 3GPP.

[0077] The technical specification TS 28.554 released by 3GPP defines wireless data energy efficiency indicators based on data traffic and general network slicing energy efficiency indicators.

[0078] In the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G) network, 5G base stations (gNBs) are key components in the radio access network (RAN). Depending on whether the control plane (CP) and user plane (UP) are separated, base stations can be divided into non-split gNBs and split gNBs.

[0079] In non-split gNBs, the CP and UP functions are implemented in the same physical entity, and the efficiency of the base station can be calculated based on the following formula.

[0080]

[0081] Among them, EEMN,DV represents the energy efficiency (EE) of the base station, MN represents the mobile network (MN), and DV represents the data volume (DV); Samples represents different sampled data; DRB.PdcpSduVolumeUl represents the volume of the service data unit (SDU) of the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) in the uplink direction, that is, the amount of data transmitted from the user equipment to the network; DRB.PdcpSduVolumeDl represents the volume of the SUD of PDCP in the downlink direction, that is, the amount of data transmitted from the network to the user equipment; PEE.Energy represents the energy consumption of the base station.

[0082] In split gNBs, the CP and UP functions are implemented in different physical entities, and the efficiency of the base station can be calculated based on the following formula.

[0083]

[0084] Among them, EEMN,DV represents the energy efficiency of the base station, MN represents the mobile network, and DV represents the data volume; Samples represents different sampled data; DRB.F1uPdcpSduVolumeUl and DRB.F1uPdcpSduVolumeDl represent the data volume transmitted from the user equipment to the network through the FI interface, and the data volume transmitted from the network to the user equipment through the F1 interface respectively; DRB.XNuPdcpSduVolumeUl and DRB.XNuPdcpSduVolumeDl represent the data volume transmitted from the user equipment to the network through the FI interface, and the data volume transmitted from the network to the user equipment through the XN interface respectively; DRB.X1uPdcpSduVolumeUl and DRB.X1uPdcpSduVolumeDl represent the data volume transmitted from the user equipment to the network through the FI interface, and the data volume transmitted from the network to the user equipment through the X1 interface respectively; PEE.Energy represents the energy consumption of the base station.

[0085] As can be seen from the above, base station energy efficiency refers to the amount of data transmission achieved by the base station within a certain period of time based on the consumption of a certain amount of energy. Therefore, EE MN,DV The higher the value, the less energy consumption is required when the performance provided by the base station remains unchanged, and the better the energy efficiency of the base station.

[0086] The energy efficiency of a general network slice can be calculated based on the following formula.

[0087]

[0088] Among them, EE KPI represents the energy efficiency of network slicing; P ns It represents the performance index of the network slice. The specific definition varies depending on the type of network slice. ns It can be any indicator that reflects the quality of network slicing services, such as throughput, latency, packet loss rate, etc. ns Indicates the energy consumption of the network slice. The specific definition does not vary depending on the type of network slice. EC ns It can be obtained by measuring the actual power consumption of network equipment.

[0089] As can be seen from the above, the energy efficiency of network slicing refers to the amount of data transmission achieved by the network within a certain period of time based on the consumption of a certain amount of energy. Therefore, EE KPI The higher the value, the less energy consumption is required when the performance provided by the network remains unchanged, and the better the energy efficiency of the network.

[0090] The above is an introduction to the energy efficiency regulations in 3GPP involved in this application, which will not be repeated below.

[0091] RAN-only sharing, also known as MOCN, is an important way of network sharing. In the MOCN architecture, multiple operators share a wireless access network, but each operator has an independent core network. This network sharing method allows multiple operators to provide services on the same wireless access network, thereby achieving resource sharing, reducing costs and improving efficiency.

[0092] The 3GPP standard specifies a method for calculating base station energy efficiency. Calculating base station energy efficiency helps operators accurately evaluate the resource utilization of current base stations based on base station energy efficiency, which is beneficial for operators to manage base station resources, plan appropriate energy-saving strategies, reduce operating costs and improve network performance. However, in the RAN-only sharing scenario, the base station energy efficiency of each operator cannot be calculated separately, which is not conducive to operators' energy efficiency statistics and base station resource management.

[0093] In response to the above technical problems, the present application provides an energy efficiency determination method, the idea of ​​which is to determine the base station energy efficiency of each network object based on the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object and the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object. The base station energy efficiency of each network object can be measured in a standardized manner in different scenarios, which not only helps each network object to accurately evaluate the resource utilization effect of the base station in the access network sharing scenario, but also helps the network object to manage base station resources and optimize energy efficiency, so as to plan appropriate energy-saving strategies, reduce operating costs and improve network performance.

[0094] The embodiments provided in this application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0095] The energy efficiency determination method provided in this application can be applied to Figure 1 In the application environment shown. Figure 1 As shown, the application environment includes:

[0097] In some embodiments, the wireless access network 110 may be a network portion that introduces a part or all of an access network (AN) into a wireless transmission medium to provide fixed terminal services and / or mobile terminal services to users.

[0098] In some embodiments, the wireless access network 110 includes at least one base station 111. Each base station 111 included in the wireless access network 110 is used to provide wireless network access services to at least one network object.

[0099] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the base station 111 includes the following basic units: a baseband unit (BBU) 111-1, an active antenna unit (AAU) 111-2, an antenna system 111-3, a remote radio unit (RRU) 111-4, and a transmission device 111-5.

[0100] Among them, BBU111-1 is the basic unit of the baseband part responsible for processing the signal, which is used for signal modulation, demodulation, encoding and decoding, etc.

[0101] AAU111-2 is a basic unit responsible for functions such as signal transmission and reception, amplification, and filtering. AAU111-2 can be integrated into the antenna and RRU111-4. The integration of AAU111-2 and RRU111-4 is conducive to improving base station performance and simplifying base station structure.

[0102] The antenna system 111 - 3 is a basic unit responsible for sending and receiving signals. The components of the antenna system include an oscillator, a feeding network, etc.

[0103] RRU111-4 is the basic unit responsible for RF signal processing, and has functions such as up-conversion, down-conversion, filtering, and amplification.

[0104] The transmission device 111-5 is a basic unit responsible for optical transmission between the base station 111 and the core network 120. The transmission device 111-5 may be an optical fiber, an optical module, or the like.

[0105] In some embodiments, the wireless access network 110 and the core network 120 communicate through different interfaces and protocols to jointly implement data transmission, user management and network control.

[0106] In some embodiments, the core network 120 is used to manage non-access stratum functions related to the radio access network 110. Exemplarily, the core network 120 can create independent logical networks for different application scenarios, and each independent logical network has customized characteristics and performance indicators.

[0107] In some embodiments, the network management system 130 may be an independent hardware device, or a virtual management platform based on software implementation, for example, the network management system 130 may be an operations maintenance center (OMC), a network management system (NMS), an element management system (EMS), an operations support system (OSS), a network functions virtualization (NFV) platform, a computer, a server, a processor, a processing chip, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific device form of the network management system 130.

[0108] In some embodiments, the network management system 130 may be an independent device, or may be integrated in the base station 111 included in the wireless access network 110 , or may be integrated in the core network device included in the core network. Figure 1 It is illustrated by taking the example that the network management system 130 is an independent device.

A person of ordinary skill in the art can know that with the evolution of the system architecture, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0114] See also Figure 3 , is a flow chart of an energy efficiency determination method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the energy efficiency determination method provided in the present application can be implemented by the above network management system, and specifically includes the following steps S201 to S202.

[0115] S201. For a target base station in an access network used to provide a wireless network access service for at least one network object, obtain base station energy consumption consumed by each network object in the at least one network object.

[0116] In some embodiments, the base station energy consumption of each network object may be periodically acquired based on a statistical period. For example, the statistical period may be 1 hour.

[0117] In some embodiments, the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object may be determined by a network management system, and the network management system may directly obtain the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object in at least one network object.

[0118] S202: Determine the base station energy efficiency of each network object and / or the access network side energy efficiency of each network object based on the base station energy consumption of each network object and the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to each network object on the target base station side.

[0119] In some embodiments, the base station energy efficiency of each network object may be determined based on a ratio between the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object and the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object.

[0120] Exemplarily, the base station energy efficiency of each network object may be determined based on the following formula (1).

[0121]

[0122] Among them, EE i_operator represents the base station energy efficiency of the i-th network object in at least one network object, P i_operator Represents the base station side network performance indicator data of the i-th network object, EC i_operator Represents the base station energy consumption of the i-th network object.

[0123] In some embodiments, the base station energy efficiency of each network object may be determined based on the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to the basic unit with the largest energy consumption in the base station and the energy consumption of at least one basic unit of the base station.

[0124] It is understandable that the energy consumption of the basic unit is affected by the corresponding base station side network performance index data, and the base station side network performance index data corresponding to the basic unit with the largest energy consumption in the base station can affect the energy consumption of the basic unit with the largest energy consumption in the base station.

[0125] In a possible implementation, when the network load of the base station is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value, the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object in at least one network object is determined based on the energy consumption of the target basic unit with the largest energy consumption in at least one basic unit of the base station; the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object in at least one network object is determined based on the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to the target basic unit. The above step S202 can be specifically implemented as follows: based on the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to the target basic unit and the energy consumption of the target basic unit, the base station energy efficiency of each network object is determined.

[0126] Exemplarily, the base station energy efficiency of each network object is a ratio of the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to the target basic unit to the energy consumption of the target basic unit.

[0127] Another possible implementation method is to obtain the base station energy consumption of each network object in at least one network object for a target network object whose network load is greater than or equal to a second preset threshold value, and determine the base station energy efficiency of each network object based on the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object and the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object.

[0128] Exemplarily, the above step S202 can be specifically implemented as the following steps A1-A3.

[0129] A1. Determine a target basic unit with the largest energy consumption from at least one basic unit of the base station, and use the energy consumption of the target basic unit as the base station energy consumption consumed by the target network object.

[0130] A2. Determine the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to the target basic unit as the base station side network performance indicator data of the target network object.

[0131] It is understandable that the energy consumption of the basic unit is affected by the corresponding base station side network performance index data, and the base station side network performance index data corresponding to the basic unit with the largest energy consumption in the base station can affect the energy consumption of the basic unit with the largest energy consumption in the base station.

[0132] A3. Determine the base station energy efficiency of the target network object based on the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to the target basic unit and the energy consumption of the target basic unit.

[0133] In some embodiments, the base station energy efficiency of the target network object is the ratio of the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to the target basic unit to the energy consumption of the target basic unit.

[0134] In some embodiments, the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object is a plurality of base station side network performance indicator data. The above step S202 can be specifically implemented as follows: based on the ratio between the sum of the plurality of base station side network performance indicator data of each network object and the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object, the base station energy efficiency of each network object is determined.

[0135] Exemplarily, the base station energy efficiency of each network object may be determined based on the following formula (2).

[0136]

[0137] Among them, EE i_operator represents the base station energy efficiency of the i-th network object in at least one network object, Perf i,j Indicates the network performance indicator data of the jth base station side of the ith network object, EC i_operator Represents the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object.

[0138] In some embodiments, the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object is a plurality of groups of base station side network performance indicator data, and each group of base station side network performance indicator data includes at least one base station side network performance indicator data. The above step S202 can be specifically implemented as follows: based on the weighted sum of the combined value of each group of base station side network performance indicator data of each network object and the weight of each group of base station side network performance indicator data, and the ratio between the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object, determine the base station energy efficiency of each network object.

[0139] Exemplarily, the combined value of each group of base station side network performance indicator data is determined based on the product of at least one base station side network performance indicator data included in each group of base station side network performance indicator data.

[0140] For example, the base station energy efficiency of each network object may be determined based on the following formula (3).

[0141]

[0142] Among them, EE i_operator represents the base station energy efficiency of the i-th network object in at least one network object, PerfG i,k represents the combined value of the kth group of base station side network performance indicator data of the i-th network object, w k is the weight of the kth group of base station side network performance indicator data, EC i_operator Represents the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object.

[0143] In some embodiments, the base station side network performance indicator data includes at least one of the following: traffic, number of data packets, number of users, number of physical resource blocks occupied, latency, and reliability.

[0144] Among them, the number of users refers to the average number of users connected to the RRC of the base station; reliability refers to the ratio of the number of data packets reliably transmitted within a period of time to the total number of data packets; delay includes the downlink delay from the base station to the user equipment and the uplink delay from the user equipment to the base station. Considering the difference between delay and other base station side network performance indicator data, the smaller the delay, the better the transmission performance of the base station. Therefore, when determining the base station energy efficiency, the inverse of the delay can be used as the base station side network performance indicator data to measure the base station energy efficiency.

[0145] It should be noted that the factors affecting base station energy efficiency mainly include base station side network performance indicator data and base station energy consumption. There are many types of base station side network performance indicator data, and different base station side network performance indicator data are used to evaluate different aspects of network performance. When actually evaluating base station energy efficiency, appropriate base station side network performance indicator data can be selected based on the service characteristics of the network where the base station is located.

[0146] For example, in an enhanced mobile broadband (EMBB) scenario, attention needs to be paid to the network's large bandwidth and high-speed mobile data transmission capabilities, and traffic can be selected as a base station-side network performance indicator data for measuring base station energy efficiency.

[0147] In the ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) scenario, attention should be paid to the network's low-latency and highly reliable mobile data transmission capabilities. Latency, reliability, or reliable transmission traffic can be selected as base station-side network performance indicator data to measure base station energy efficiency.

[0148] In the massive machine type communication (mMTC) scenario, base stations are generally used in IoT applications such as smart cities and smart homes. They need to focus on supporting the connection of a large number of low-power, low-cost devices. The number of users can be selected as the base station-side network performance indicator data to measure the energy efficiency of the base station.

[0149] In some embodiments, the operator's base station-side network performance indicator data is reported by the device to the network management system.

[0150] In some embodiments, the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object is a single base station side network performance indicator data; or, the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object is a combination of multiple base station side network performance indicator data.

[0151] If the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object is a combination of multiple base station side network performance indicator data, the network performance indicator of each network object can be the sum of multiple base station side network performance indicator data or the multiplication of multiple network performance indicators. This application does not limit the combination method of multiple base station side network performance indicator data.

[0152] Exemplarily, the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object may be the result of multiplying the flow rate and the reliability, that is, reliable transmission flow rate.

[0153] The base station side network performance indicator data of each network object may also be the result of adding uplink delay and downlink delay and taking the inverse thereof.

[0154] In some embodiments, at least one network object includes a target network object, the target network object is any one of the at least one network object, and the access network side includes at least one target base station. The above step S202 can be specifically implemented as the following steps B1-B2.

[0155] B1. Determine access network side performance indicator data of the target network object based on base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to each target base station side of at least one target base station of the target network object.

[0156] In some embodiments, the access network side performance indicator data of the target network object is determined by the sum of the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to each target base station side of the target network object in at least one target base station. Exemplarily, when the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to each target base station side is traffic, number of data packets or number of users, the access network side performance indicator data of the target network object is the sum of the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to each target base station side of the target network object in at least one target base station.

[0157] In some embodiments, the access network side performance indicator data of the target network object is determined by the average value of the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to each target base station side of the target network object in at least one target base station. Exemplarily, when the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to each target base station side is latency or reliability, the access network side performance indicator data of the target network object is the average value of the base station side network performance indicator data corresponding to each target base station side of the target network object in at least one target base station.

[0158] B2. Determine the access network side energy efficiency of the target network object based on the access network side performance indicator data of the target network object and the ratio between the energy consumption of the target network object on the access network side.

[0159] The energy consumption of the target network object on the access network side is determined based on the base station energy consumption consumed by the target network object on each target base station side of at least one target base station.

[0160] Exemplarily, the access network side energy efficiency of the target network object may be determined based on the following formula (4).

[0161]

[0162] Among them, EE 5GMOCN_ioperator represents the access network side energy efficiency of the ith network object in at least one network object, P 5GMOCN_ioperator Indicates the access network side performance indicator data of the i-th network object, EC 5GMOCN_ioperator Represents the energy consumed by the i-th network object on the access network side.

[0163] In some embodiments, the network object includes at least one of the following: operator, network slice, service quality granularity, network standard, service type, terminal type, and bandwidth part (Bandwidth Part, BWP).

[0164] Exemplarily, when the network object is an operator, multiple operators can access the same base station. The energy efficiency determination method provided in the present application can determine the base station energy efficiency of the same base station of different operators.

[0165] When the network object is a network standard, for example, the same base station supports both the 5G standard and the 4G standard. The energy efficiency determination method provided in the present application can determine the base station energy efficiency of different network standards under the same base station.

[0166] In the case where the network object is a terminal type, for example, the terminals accessing the same base station include reduced capability (RedCap) terminals and non-reduced capability (Non-RedCap) terminals. The energy efficiency determination method provided in the present application can determine the base station energy efficiency of different types of terminals under the same base station.

[0167] In the case where the network object is a bandwidth part, the bandwidth resources of a base station can be divided into multiple bandwidth parts. The energy efficiency determination method provided in the present application can determine the base station energy efficiency of different bandwidth parts under the same base station.

[0168] In some embodiments, the energy efficiency determination method provided by the present application further includes determining the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object in at least one network object. Figure 4 As shown, determining the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object can be specifically implemented as the following S301-S302.

[0169] S301. Obtain energy consumption of at least one basic unit of a base station.

[0170] In some embodiments, the basic unit of the base station includes at least one of the following: BBU, AAU, RRU, antenna system, transmission equipment.

[0171] In some embodiments, energy consumption monitoring equipment may be installed for each of the basic units of the base station to obtain the energy consumption of the basic units of the base station, and then the energy consumption is sent to the computing device. For example, an electric energy meter or current sensor may be installed on the power line of the basic unit of the base station to obtain the energy consumption of the basic unit.

[0172] S302: Determine the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object in at least one network object based at least on the energy consumption of at least one basic unit of the base station.

[0173] In some embodiments, the base station energy consumption consumed by each of the at least one network object may be determined based on the energy consumption of at least one base unit of the base station.

[0174] In a possible implementation manner, the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object is the sum of energy consumption of at least one basic unit of the base station.

[0175] For example, when at least one network object uses the wireless network access service provided by the base station, the following formula (5) can be used to calculate the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object.

[0176] EC i_operator =∑ element EC element Formula (5)

[0177] Among them, EC i_operator represents the base station energy consumption consumed by the ith network object, element represents the basic unit of the base station, EC element Indicates the energy consumption of the base station basic unit.

[0178] In another possible implementation manner, the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object is the average energy consumption of at least one basic unit of the base station.

[0179] For example, when there are N network objects using the wireless network access service provided by the base station, the following formula (6) can be used to calculate the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object.

[0180]

[0181] Among them, EC i_operator represents the base station energy consumption consumed by the ith network object, element represents the basic unit of the base station, EC element represents the energy consumption of the base station basic unit, and N represents the number of network objects using the wireless network access service provided by the base station.

[0182] In another possible implementation, the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object is determined based on the sum of energy consumption of some basic units in at least one basic unit of the base station and the average energy consumption of another part of the basic units in at least one basic unit of the base station.

[0183] For example, when multiple network objects use the wireless network access service provided by the base station, the following formula (7) can be used to calculate the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object.

[0184]

[0185] Among them, EC i_operator represents the base station energy consumption of the ith network object in at least one network object, element_1 represents a part of the basic units in at least one basic unit of the base station, EC element_1represents the energy consumption of some basic units in at least one basic unit of the base station, element_2 represents another basic unit in at least one basic unit of the base station, EC element_2 represents the energy consumption of another part of the at least one basic unit of the base station, and N represents the number of the other part of the basic units in the at least one basic unit of the base station.

[0186] It can be understood that when there are a basic units of at least one base station and b basic units in at least one basic unit of the base station, there are ab basic units in another part of the at least one basic unit of the base station, that is, at least one basic unit of the base station is composed of some basic units and another part of basic units.

[0187] In some embodiments, the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object is determined based on the energy consumption of at least one basic unit of the base station and the base station performance indicator data of each network object in at least one network object.

[0188] Exemplarily, the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object is determined based on the sum of the energy consumption of at least one basic unit of the base station and the base station performance indicator ratio of each network object. The base station performance indicator ratio of each network object is used to indicate the proportion of the base station performance indicator data of each network object in the sum of the base station performance indicator data of at least one network object.

[0189] For example, when at least one network object uses the wireless network access service provided by the base station, the sum of the base station performance indicator data of the network objects of the wireless network access service provided by the base station is Factor sum , the base station performance index data of the i-th network object is Factor i , the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object can be calculated using the following formula (8).

[0190]

[0191] Among them, EC i_operator represents the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object, element represents the basic unit of the base station, and Factor i / Factor sum represents the base station performance index ratio of the i-th network object, EC element Indicates the energy consumption of the base station basic unit.

[0192] In some embodiments, the base station performance indicator data includes at least one of the following: traffic, number of users, number of physical resource blocks occupied, CPU utilization, GPU utilization, wireless resource utilization, and bandwidth. The number of users included in the base station performance indicator data may be the average number of users of the network object connected to the base station RRC.

[0193] In some embodiments, at least one basic unit of a base station includes a first basic unit and a second basic unit; the energy consumption of the first basic unit is not affected by the base station performance indicator data of the network object, and the energy consumption of the second basic unit is affected by the base station performance indicator data of the network object; the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object is determined based on the energy consumption of the first basic unit and the dynamic energy consumption affected by the base station performance indicator data; wherein the dynamic energy consumption is determined based on the energy consumption of the second basic unit and the base station performance indicator data of each network object.

[0194] It should be noted that the energy consumption of different basic units of the base station is affected by different base station performance indicator data. Based on the statistics of the existing network, the energy consumption of BBU is mainly affected by the number of baseband boards. When the number of baseband boards is constant, the energy consumption of BBU can basically remain stable regardless of the number of users and traffic connected to the base station; the energy consumption of AAU is greatly affected by factors such as traffic and number of users. The more traffic, the higher the energy consumption of AUU.

[0195] Therefore, the base station basic unit is divided into a first basic unit and a second basic unit according to whether the energy consumption of the base station basic unit is affected by the base station performance indicator data of the network object, so that the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object can be calculated more accurately.

[0196] Exemplarily, when the base station performance indicator data of each network object is a single performance indicator data, the dynamic energy consumption is determined based on the sum of the energy consumption of each second basic unit and the base station performance indicator ratio of each network object. The base station performance indicator ratio of each network object is used to indicate the proportion of the base station performance indicator data of each network object in the sum of the base station performance indicator data of at least one network object.

[0197] In a possible implementation, the energy consumption of the first basic unit is the sum of the energy consumption of the first basic unit. When at least one network object uses the wireless network access service provided by the base station, the sum of the base station performance indicator data of the network object of the wireless network access service provided by the base station is Factor sum , the base station performance index data of the i-th network object is Factor i , the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object can be calculated using the following formula (9).

[0198]

[0200] In another possible implementation, the energy consumption of the first basic unit is the average energy consumption of the first basic unit. When N network objects use the wireless network access service provided by the base station, the sum of the base station performance indicator data of the N network objects is Factor sum , the base station performance index data of the i-th network object is Factor i , the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object can be calculated using the following formula (10).

[0203] In another possible implementation, when the energy consumption of the first basic unit is the sum of the energy consumption of some basic units in the first basic unit and the average energy consumption of another part of the basic units in the first basic unit, the sum of the base station performance indicator data of the network object is Factor sum , the base station performance index data of the i-th network object is Factor i , the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object can be calculated using the following formula (11).

[0204]

[0205] Among them, EC i_operator represents the base station energy consumption of the ith network object in at least one network object, static_element_1 represents part of the basic unit in the first basic unit, EC static_element_1 represents the energy consumption of some basic units in the first basic unit, static_element_2 represents another basic unit in the first basic unit, EC static_element_2 represents the energy consumption of another part of the basic unit in the first basic unit, N represents the number of another part of the basic unit in the first basic unit, Factor i Indicates the base station performance indicator data of the i-th network object in at least one network object, Factor sum represents the sum of base station performance indicator data of at least one network object, dynamic_element represents the second basic unit, EC dynamic_element Indicates the energy consumption of the second basic unit.

[0206] It can be understood that when the base station has a first basic units and b partial basic units of the first basic unit of the base station, the other partial basic units in the first basic unit of the base station have ab units, that is, the first basic unit of the base station is composed of partial basic units and other partial basic units.

[0207] In the case where the base station performance indicator data of each network object is multiple performance indicator data, the dynamic energy consumption is determined based on the energy consumption affected by each performance indicator data in the base station performance indicator data of each network object; wherein the base station performance indicator data includes target performance indicator data, and the energy consumption affected by the target performance indicator data is determined based on the sum of the energy consumption of the second basic unit affected by the target performance indicator data and the indicator ratio of the target performance indicator data, wherein the indicator ratio of the target performance indicator data is used to indicate the proportion of the target performance indicator data of each network object in the sum of the target performance indicator data of at least one network object.

[0208] In a possible implementation, the energy consumption of the first basic unit is the sum of the energy consumption of the first basic unit. When at least one network object uses the wireless network access service provided by the base station, the sum of the j-th base station performance indicator data of the network object of the wireless network access service provided by the base station is Factor sum,j , the performance index data of the jth base station of the ith network object is Factor i,j , the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object can be calculated using the following formula (12).

[0211] In another possible implementation, the energy consumption of the first basic unit is the average energy consumption of the first basic unit. When N network objects use the wireless network access service provided by the base station, the sum of the j-th base station performance indicator data of the N network objects is Factor sum,j , the performance index data of the jth base station of the ith network object is Factor i,j , the base station energy consumption consumed by the i-th network object can be calculated using the following formula (13).

Exemplarily, the local area network energy consumption consumed by each network object in at least one network object connected to the target LAN is obtained, and the local area network energy efficiency of each network object is determined based on the local area network energy consumption consumed by each network object and the base station side network performance indicator data of each network object.

[0220] The energy efficiency determination method of the embodiment of the present application is introduced below with a specific embodiment. In this embodiment, the basic unit of the base station includes three parts: BBA, RRU and transmission equipment. The statistical cycle is 1 hour. The network objects include two operators, namely operator A and operator B. Figure 5 As shown, the specific implementation steps of this embodiment are as follows S401-S403.

[0221] S401. Obtain energy consumption of a base station basic unit within a statistical period.

[0222] The energy consumption of BBU during the statistical period is 10 kilowatt-hours (kwh), the energy consumption of RRU during the statistical period is 20kwh, and the energy consumption of transmission equipment during the statistical period is 6kwh.

[0223] It should be noted that the unit of energy consumption can be kwh or joule (J), and the unit of energy consumption can be converted from kwh to J based on the conversion relationship of 1 kwh=3,600,000 J. The present application does not limit the unit of energy consumption.

[0224] S402: Determine the energy consumption of the base stations of each operator.

[0225] In some embodiments, the energy consumption of the base station of operator A and the energy consumption of the base station of operator B may be determined based on the energy consumption of the basic unit of the base station.

[0226] In a possible implementation, the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object is the sum of the energy consumption of at least one basic unit of the base station. The energy consumption of the base station of operator A and the energy consumption of the base station of operator B can be calculated based on formula (5).

[0227] Energy consumption of base stations of operator A 1_operator =10+20+6=36kwh, the energy consumption of operator B’s base station EC 2_operator =10+20+6=36kwh.

[0228] In another possible implementation, the base station energy consumption consumed by each network object is the average energy consumption of at least one basic unit of the base station. The base station energy consumption of operator A and the base station energy consumption of operator B can be calculated based on formula (6).

[0229] Energy consumption of base stations of operator A 1_operator =(10+20+6)÷2=18kwh, the energy consumption of operator B’s base station EC 2_operator =(10+20+6)÷2=18kwh.

[0230] In some embodiments, the energy consumption of the base station of operator A and the energy consumption of the base station of operator B can be determined respectively based on the energy consumption of the basic unit of the base station, the base station performance indicator data of operator A and the base station performance indicator data of operator B.

[0231] Exemplarily, the base station energy consumption of each operator is determined based on the sum of the energy consumption of the basic units of the base station and the base station performance index ratio of each operator, and the base station performance index ratio of each operator is used to indicate the proportion of the base station performance index data of each operator in the sum of the base station performance index data of operator A and operator B. The base station energy consumption of operator A and the base station energy consumption of operator B can be calculated respectively based on formula (8).

[0234] When the base station performance indicator data of the operator is the number of physical resource blocks occupied, and the number of physical resource blocks occupied by operator A is 100 and the number of physical resource blocks occupied by operator B is 200, the energy consumption EC of the base station of operator A is 1_operator =100÷(100+200)×(10+20+6)=12kwh, operator B’s base station energy consumption EC 2_operator =100÷(100+200)×(10+20+6)=24kwh.

[0235] In some embodiments, at least one basic unit of a base station includes a first basic unit and a second basic unit; the energy consumption of the first basic unit is not affected by the base station performance indicator data of the operator, and the energy consumption of the second basic unit is affected by the base station performance indicator data of the operator; the base station energy consumption consumed by each operator is determined based on the energy consumption of the first basic unit and the dynamic energy consumption affected by the base station performance indicator data; wherein the dynamic energy consumption is determined based on the energy consumption of the second basic unit and the base station performance indicator data of each operator.

[0236] Exemplarily, when the base station performance indicator data of each operator is a single performance indicator data, the dynamic energy consumption is determined based on the sum of the energy consumption of each second basic unit and the base station performance indicator ratio of each operator. The base station performance indicator ratio of each operator is used to indicate the proportion of the base station performance indicator data of each operator in the sum of the base station performance indicator data of at least one operator.

[0240] When the base station performance indicator data of the operator is the number of physical resource blocks occupied, and the number of physical resource blocks occupied by operator A is 100 and the number of physical resource blocks occupied by operator B is 200, the energy consumption EC of the base station of operator A is 1_operator =10+(100÷(100+200)×(20+6))=18.67kwh, the energy consumption of operator B’s base station is EC 2_operator=10+(100÷(100+200)×(20+6))=27.33kwh.

[0241] In another possible implementation, the energy consumption of the first basic unit is the average energy consumption of the first basic unit. The energy consumption of the base station of operator A and the energy consumption of the base station of operator B can be calculated based on formula (10).

[0242] If BBU is the first basic unit, RRU and transmission equipment are the second basic unit. When the base station performance indicator data of the operator is traffic, and the traffic of operator A is 1GB and the traffic of operator B is 3GB, the energy consumption EC of the base station of operator A is 1_operator =(10÷2)+(1÷(1+3)×(20+6))=11.5kwh, the energy consumption of operator B’s base station EC 2_operator =(10÷2)+(3÷(1+3)×(20+6))=24.5kwh.

[0243] When the base station performance indicator data of the operator is the number of users, and the number of users of operator A is 10 and the number of users of operator B is 40, the energy consumption EC of the base station of operator A is 1_operator =(10÷2)+(10÷(10+40)×(20+6))=10.2kwh, the energy consumption of operator B’s base station EC 2_operator =(10÷2)+(40÷(10+40)×(20+6))=25.8kwh.

[0244] When the base station performance indicator data of the operator is the number of physical resource blocks occupied, and the number of physical resource blocks occupied by operator A is 100 and the number of physical resource blocks occupied by operator B is 200, the energy consumption EC of the base station of operator A is 1_operator =(10÷2)+(100÷(100+200)×(20+6))=13.67kwh, the energy consumption of operator B’s base station is EC 2_operator =(10÷2)+(100÷(100+200)×(20+6))=22.33kwh.

[0245] In the case where the base station performance indicator data of each operator is multiple performance indicator data, the dynamic energy consumption is determined based on the energy consumption affected by each performance indicator data in the base station performance indicator data of each operator; wherein the base station performance indicator data includes target performance indicator data, and the energy consumption affected by the target performance indicator data is determined based on the sum of the energy consumption of the second basic unit affected by the target performance indicator data and the indicator ratio of the target performance indicator data, wherein the indicator ratio of the target performance indicator data is used to indicate the proportion of the target performance indicator data of each operator in the sum of the target performance indicator data of at least one operator.

[0246] If BBU is the first basic unit, RRU and transmission equipment are the second basic unit, the energy consumption of RRU is affected by the traffic of the operator, and the energy consumption of transmission equipment is affected by the number of users of the operator. The traffic of operator A is 1GB, the traffic of operator B is 3GB, the number of users of operator A is 10, and the number of users of operator B is 40.

[0247] In a possible implementation, the energy consumption of the first basic unit is the sum of the energy consumption of the first basic units. The energy consumption of the base station of operator A and the energy consumption of the base station of operator B can be calculated based on formula (12).
