Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a configuration method, a base station, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In order to achieve green networking of the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology, 5G), the network has introduced a variety of energy-saving functions such as channel silencing and cell dormancy to match energy consumption and business load and avoid unnecessary energy waste. Since the number of antenna elements is reduced after the channel silencing energy-saving function is adopted, it usually causes a reduction in coverage and rate, and the maximum service capacity provided by the cell is also reduced. For coverage, after the channel is silent, the cell needs to turn on the power increase function of the broadcast channel to ensure that the broadcast channel coverage is not lost by borrowing power from other frequency domains, but it will cause the downlink rate to drop by 20%-30%. Therefore, due to the unreasonable energy-saving configuration of the cell, the downlink rate will drop, which will cause the terminal to have poor performance when executing certain services.

[0018] In order to enable a more detailed understanding of the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present application, the implementation of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present application.

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present application. The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0020] In the following description, reference is made to "some embodiments", which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it is understood that "some embodiments" may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments, and may be combined with each other without conflict. It should also be noted that the terms "first / second / third" involved in the embodiments of the present application are only used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It is understandable that "first / second / third" may be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0021] At present, 5G mobile communication networks typically use 32 / 64-channel large-scale antenna base station networking. The number of channels of a single 5G base station is about 4 to 8 times that of the fourth-generation mobile communication technology (4G) base station, and the power consumption is about 2 to 3 times that of the 4G base station. Therefore, in order to achieve 5G green networking, the network has introduced a variety of energy-saving functions, including channel silencing and cell dormancy, to match energy consumption with business load and avoid unnecessary energy waste.

[0022] Taking the channel silencing function as an example, the channel silencing function means that when the business load of a 5G multi-channel base station (32 / 64 channels) is low, the power amplifiers, transceivers and other active devices on some RF channels of the base station are dormant, and only some channels are kept working, thereby reducing the power consumption of the base station. The current mainstream method is to silence 50% of the channels, such as silencing a 64-channel base station to become a 32-channel base station, and silencing a 32-channel base station to become a 16-channel base station. Figure 1 As shown, when the channel muting function is used, 50% of the channels are muted.

[0023] However, after adopting the channel silent energy-saving function, the number of antenna elements will also be reduced, which will usually cause a decrease in coverage and rate, and the maximum capacity provided by the cell will also be reduced. For coverage, after the channel is silent, the cell needs to enable the power boosting function of the broadcast channel to ensure that the coverage of the broadcast channel is not lost by borrowing power from other frequency domains, but for rate, it will usually cause the downlink rate to drop by 20%-30%.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 2The figure shows the rate drop of users at the edge of the cell when the 5G channel muting function is used. The horizontal axis represents the rate and the vertical axis represents the load. Therefore, the channel muting function is generally only enabled under low network load conditions, and the physical resource block (PRB) utilization rate and the maximum number of connected users of the radio resource control (RRC) are usually used as the judgment threshold.

[0025] See Table 1, which shows whether to start the silent energy saving function based on the PRB utilization and the maximum number of RRC connections when the channel silent energy saving function is used. Specifically, it can be confirmed based on the maximum number of RRC connections and the utilization of uplink and downlink PRBs. For example, if the uplink and downlink PRB utilization of the 5G network in Table 1 is less than 10% and the maximum number of RRC connected users is less than 5, the channel silent function is started, and the exit of the channel silent function requires that the uplink or downlink PRB utilization of the 5G network is higher than 20% or the maximum number of RRC connected users is higher than 10.

[0027]

[0028] Therefore, how to reasonably enable energy-saving functions such as channel silencing while ensuring user terminal performance has become one of the problems that need to be solved in terminal network energy saving.

[0029] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a configuration method, such as Figure 3 As shown, applied to a base station, the method may include:

[0030] S101. Perform cell energy saving configuration based on the first connection number of terminals with special capability requirements, the second connection number of common terminals, and the utilization rate of cell radio resources.

[0031] In some embodiments, a base station is a device that provides wireless communication functions for a terminal device (User Equipment, UE), including but not limited to: an evolved base station (evolutional Node B, referred to as eNB or e-NodeB for short) in a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) system, a New Radio (NR) system, or a Licensed-Assisted Access using Long-Term Evolution (LAA-LTE) system, a macro base station, a micro base station (also referred to as a "small base station"), a pico base station, etc.

[0032] In order to facilitate the network side to schedule resources to better match the specific state of the UE and help the UE save power, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) defines a new RRC message, namely, UE Assistance Information (UAI).

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal with special capability requirements may include a terminal supporting UAI reporting, which may also be referred to as a UAI terminal.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the ordinary terminal may include a terminal that does not support UAI reporting.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the cell radio resource utilization rate may include the cell PRB utilization rate.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, the first connection number of special capability requirement terminals and the second connection number of ordinary terminals can be that after the special capability requirement terminals and the ordinary terminals are connected to the base station, the base station counts the number of special capability requirement terminals connected to obtain the first connection number, and counts the number of ordinary terminals counted to obtain the second connection number.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the base station can obtain the current cell wireless resource utilization rate, that is, the PRB utilization rate, based on the total number of successfully utilized PRBs and the total number of available PRBs.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, the base station performs cell energy-saving configuration based on the first connection number of special capability requirement terminals, the second connection number of ordinary terminals, and the cell wireless resource utilization rate, and can receive performance preference information reported by special capability requirement terminals; determine the first coefficient based on the performance preference information; generate cell equivalent load information based on the first connection number, the second connection number, the first coefficient and the cell wireless resource utilization rate; and perform cell energy-saving configuration based on the cell equivalent load information.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal with special capability requirements supports reporting UAI information. After the terminal with special capability requirements reports the UAI information to the base station, the terminal with special capability requirements can notify the base station of its various internal states, including performance preference information, through the UAI information.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the performance preference information may be a preference for the maximum aggregate bandwidth for terminals with special capability requirements, or a preference for the maximum number of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) layers, etc.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, after the base station receives the performance preference information reported by the terminal with special capability requirements, the first coefficient can be determined according to the performance preference information included in the UAI information reported by the terminal.

[0042] It should be noted that when the performance preference information changes, the first coefficient will change according to the change of the performance preference information.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, when performing cell energy-saving configuration, the cell equivalent load information is first calculated. In the process of calculating the cell equivalent load information, the first coefficient can be used as a weighting coefficient for terminals with special capability requirements or a weighting coefficient for cell wireless resource utilization.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, generating cell equivalent load information using the first connection number, the second connection number, the first coefficient and the cell wireless resource utilization rate may include: if the performance preference information is antenna layer adjustment information, weighting the first connection number using the first coefficient to obtain a weighted first connection number; generating the cell equivalent load information based on the weighted first connection number, the second connection number and the cell wireless resource utilization rate.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, the UAI information reported by the terminal with special capability requirements to the base station is a preference for the maximum number of MIMO layers. The base station can obtain performance preference information as antenna layer adjustment information from the reported UAI information. The base station obtains the cell equivalent load information based on the weighted first connection number of the terminal with special capability requirements, the second connection number of the ordinary terminal and the wireless resource utilization rate.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, when the performance preference information is antenna layer number adjustment information, the cell equivalent load information can be calculated based on formula (1), and formula (1) is as follows:

[0047] load = S{α*UE UAI +UE Legacy , PRB Cell} (1)

[0048] Where load represents the equivalent load of the cell, coefficient α represents the first coefficient, and UE UAI Indicates the first connection number of the terminal with special capability requirements, UE Legacy Indicates the second connection number of a common terminal, PRB Cell Indicates the utilization rate of cell radio resources.

[0049] It should be noted that the coefficient α can be determined based on the UAI information reported by the terminal with special capability requirements. For example, when the performance preference information included in the reported UAI information is antenna layer adjustment information, if the performance preference information includes halving the number of antenna layers of the terminal, the value of α can be 0.5.

[0050] It can be seen from the above formula (1) that when the performance preference information is the antenna layer adjustment information, the coefficient α is used to perform equivalent weighting on the number of RRC connected users, that is, the first connection number of the terminal with special capability requirements, to obtain the weighted first connection number, and finally the weighted first connection number α*UE is calculated using formula (1). UAI , second connection number UE Legacy and cell radio resource utilization PRB Cell Calculate and obtain the cell equivalent load information.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, generating cell equivalent load information using the first connection number, the second connection number, the first coefficient and the cell wireless resource utilization rate may also include: if the performance preference information is bandwidth adjustment information, weighting the cell wireless resource utilization rate using the first coefficient to obtain the weighted cell wireless resource utilization rate; generating the cell equivalent load information based on the first connection number, the second connection number and the weighted cell wireless resource utilization rate.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, the UAI information reported by the terminal with special capability requirements to the base station is a preference for the maximum aggregate bandwidth. The base station can obtain the performance preference information as bandwidth adjustment information from the reported UAI information, the first connection number of the terminal with special capability requirements, the second connection number of the ordinary terminal and the weighted wireless resource utilization of the base station to obtain the cell equivalent load information.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, when the performance preference information is bandwidth adjustment information, the cell equivalent load information can be calculated based on formula (2), and formula (2) is as follows:

[0054] load = S{UE UAI +UE Legacy , α*PRB Cell} (2)

[0055] Where load represents the equivalent load of the cell, coefficient α represents the first coefficient, and UE UAI Indicates the first connection number of the terminal with special capability requirements, UE Legacy Indicates the second connection number of a common terminal, PRB Cell Indicates the utilization rate of cell radio resources.

[0056] It should be noted that the coefficient α can be determined based on the UAI information reported by the terminal with special capability requirements. The specific value data can be selected according to the actual situation and is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0057] From the above formula (2), it can be seen that when the performance preference information is bandwidth adjustment information, the coefficient α is used to perform equivalent weighting on the cell wireless resource utilization rate to obtain the weighted cell wireless resource utilization rate. Finally, the first connection number UE is calculated using formula (2). UAI , second connection number UE Legacy And the weighted cell radio resource utilization α*PRB Cell Calculate and obtain the cell equivalent load information.

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, when performing cell energy saving configuration based on the first number of connections, the second number of connections and the cell wireless resource utilization rate in the above embodiment, the cell energy saving configuration can be adjusted by setting a weighting coefficient α and combining the first number of connections, the second number of connections and the cell wireless resource utilization rate, thereby improving the intelligence of the cell energy saving configuration.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the cell equivalent load information, the base station decides whether to enable the energy saving function based on the cell equivalent load information.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, if the cell equivalent load information meets the threshold value for starting the energy-saving function, the cell energy-saving mode is started.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, if the cell equivalent load information does not meet the threshold value for starting the energy-saving function, the cell energy-saving mode is not started.

[0062] Exemplarily, if the cell equivalent load information generated according to formula (1) or formula (2) meets the threshold value for starting the energy-saving function, the cell energy-saving mode is started. If the cell equivalent load information generated according to formula (1) or formula (2) does not meet the threshold value for starting the energy-saving function, the cell energy-saving mode is not started. The energy-saving function threshold value can be selected according to actual conditions, and is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, if the cell equivalent load information meets the threshold value for starting the energy-saving function, a first prompt message is sent to the special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal; when the first response message sent by the special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal is received, the cell energy-saving mode is started; the first response message indicates confirmation of starting the cell energy-saving mode.

[0064] The first prompt information is used to prompt that the cell is about to enter the energy-saving mode.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, if the generated cell equivalent load information meets the threshold value for enabling the energy-saving function, the network-side base station prompts all special capability requirement terminals and all ordinary terminals through air interface messages that the cell energy-saving mode is about to be entered.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, after all special capability requirement terminals and all common terminals receive the first prompt message, all special capability requirement terminals and all common terminals determine whether to enter the cell energy saving mode based on their current actual conditions.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, when all special capability requirement terminals and all ordinary terminals determine to start the energy saving mode, starting the energy saving mode is added to the first response message, and the first response message is sent to the base station. The base station starts the cell energy saving mode based on the first response message.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, when all special capability requirement terminals and all ordinary terminals determine not to start the energy saving mode, not starting the energy saving mode is added to the first response message, and the first response message is sent to the base station. Based on the first response message, the base station does not start the cell energy saving mode.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present application, if the cell equivalent load information meets the threshold value for enabling the energy-saving function, a second prompt message is sent to the terminal with special capability requirements and the ordinary terminal.

[0070] The second prompt information is used to prompt the network performance change before and after the cell energy saving mode is started.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, if the cell equivalent load information meets the threshold value for turning on the energy-saving function, and the special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal confirm entering the cell energy-saving mode, the network-side base station can also prompt all special capability requirement terminals and all ordinary terminals through air interface messages about the change in the maximum network performance capability before and after the cell energy-saving mode is started. In one implementation, the difference between the maximum network performance capability and the current service capability provided after the cell energy-saving mode is started can be prompted to all special capability requirement terminals and all ordinary terminals through RRC reconfiguration messages (RRC signaling configuration mode 1). Taking channel silence as an example, the service channel usually has a performance loss of 20% to 30%.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal with special capability requirements and the ordinary terminal can provide feedback on whether to accept the adjustment of network performance based on the currently required network performance.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the base station comprehensively determines whether to enter the cell energy-saving mode based on the feedback from the terminal with special capability requirements and the ordinary terminal.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, if the base station determines to execute the cell energy saving mode, it prompts the special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal through an air interface message to finally enter the cell energy saving mode or not enter the cell energy saving mode (RRC signaling configuration mode 2).

[0075] In one embodiment of the present application, after performing cell energy saving configuration based on the cell equivalent load information, when updated performance preference information reported by a terminal with special capability requirements is received, updated cell equivalent load information is generated based on the updated performance preference information, the first number of connections, the second number of connections and the cell wireless resource utilization rate; if the updated cell equivalent load information meets the threshold value for shutting down the energy saving function, the cell energy saving mode is exited.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, the base station monitors the UAI information reported by the terminal with special capability requirements. If the performance preference information contained in the UAI information is updated, the generated cell equivalent load information will also change. When it is determined that the cell equivalent load information meets the threshold value for shutting down the energy-saving function, the cell energy-saving mode is exited.

[0077] It should be noted that the process of calculating the cell equivalent load information can refer to the calculation method of the above formula (1) and formula (2), which will not be repeated here.

[0078] For example, if the base station monitors the UAI information reported by the terminal with special capability requirements, such as the terminal with special capability requirements requires the network to provide a higher capability service, it can comprehensively determine whether to exit the energy-saving mode in combination with the network load situation.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, by utilizing the UAI information reported by the terminal with special capability requirements, on the one hand, the activation and exit thresholds of energy-saving functions such as channel silencing are reasonably adjusted to maximize the energy-saving effect; on the other hand, through the interaction between the terminal with special capability requirements and the ordinary terminal and the base station, the impact of the energy-saving function on the terminal performance is reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0080] It can be understood that a configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application can take into account the different requirements of special capability requirement terminals and ordinary terminals for network performance and the wireless resource utilization of the cell to adjust the energy-saving configuration mode of the cell, and can more reasonably configure the cell energy-saving mode.

[0081] Based on the above embodiments, the present application embodiment proposes a configuration method, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method may include:

[0082] 1. The base station determines whether to enter the cell energy-saving mode based on the cell equivalent load information. If so, execute step 2; if not, return to the starting step.

[0083] 2. Use RRC signaling configuration mode 1 to inform special capability requirement terminals and common terminals of network performance changes after the energy saving mode is turned on.

[0084] 3. Based on the feedback from the special capability requirement terminals and ordinary terminals, comprehensively determine whether to enter the cell energy-saving mode. If so, execute step 4; if not, return to the starting step.

[0085] 4. Configure mode 2 through RRC signaling to inform special capability requirement terminals and ordinary terminals to finally execute the energy-saving mode or not.

[0086] 5. Monitor UAI information, generate updated cell equivalent load information according to the updated performance preference information, the first connection number, the second connection number, and the cell wireless resource utilization rate contained in the updated UAI information, and determine whether to exit the energy-saving mode based on the updated cell equivalent load information. If so, return to the start execution step.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, the base station may send a first prompt message to the special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal. After the special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal obtain the first prompt message indicating that they are about to enter the energy-saving mode, and when the base station confirms that the special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal confirm to start the cell energy-saving mode, the base station informs the special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal of the network performance changes before and after the energy-saving mode is started through RRC signaling configuration mode 1. The special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal, based on their own requirements for network performance, provide feedback on whether the adjustment of the network performance meets the current requirements. The base station comprehensively determines whether to enter the cell energy-saving mode based on the feedback from the special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal, and informs the special capability requirement terminal and the ordinary terminal through RRC signaling configuration mode 2 whether the cell energy-saving mode is finally turned on or not.

[0088] Based on the above embodiments, the present application embodiment provides a base station 1. Figure 5 As shown, the base station 1 includes:

In practical applications, based on the same public concept of the above embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the base station 1 of the embodiment of the present application includes: a processor 11, a memory 12 and a communication bus 13.
