Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and in particular to a temporary base station service method and system based on battery power supply. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, the coverage and service quality of mobile communication networks have been significantly improved. However, in some special scenarios, such as emergency communications after natural disasters, communication support for temporary activities, and communication coverage in remote areas, traditional fixed base stations are difficult to deploy quickly and meet the needs. Therefore, temporary base stations (also called portable base stations or emergency base stations) are widely used in the above scenarios as a communication device with strong flexibility and easy to deploy quickly.

[0003] Temporary base stations are usually powered by batteries so that they can operate independently in the absence of a fixed power supply. However, due to the limited battery capacity, how to properly manage battery energy consumption, extend the base station operation time while ensuring the quality of communication services has become a key challenge in the design and operation of temporary base stations.

[0004] In the prior art, some temporary base stations use a simple low-battery alarm function to indicate that the battery is about to run out, but this method cannot dynamically adjust the base station operating status according to the real-time power level, which may lead to a waste of battery energy or a decrease in communication service quality.

[0005] In addition, when a temporary base station enters low-power mode or is about to stop operating, the terminal devices connected to the base station may experience poor communication or even complete disconnection due to signal weakening or interruption. This situation not only affects the user experience, but may also have adverse consequences for information transmission in emergency communication scenarios.

[0006] Therefore, designing a temporary base station service method that can monitor battery power in real time, dynamically adjust the base station power consumption mode according to the power level, and notify the access terminal device can not only improve the battery utilization efficiency and extend the working time of the temporary base station, but also effectively ensure the user's communication experience and network stability, which has important technical value and application prospects in the field of mobile communications. Summary of the invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a temporary base station service method and system based on battery power, which can dynamically adjust the power consumption mode of the temporary base station according to the battery power and can notify the status of the temporary base station to the connected terminal device.

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a temporary base station service method based on battery power supply, which comprises:

[0011] Dynamically adjusting the power consumption mode of the temporary base station according to the control signal, the power consumption mode comprising a high power consumption mode operating at high power, a standard power consumption mode operating at standard power, and a low power consumption mode operating at low power;

[0012] When the power consumption mode of the temporary base station changes, a notification message is also sent to the terminal device currently connected to the temporary base station, wherein the notification message includes the first information related to the power consumption mode change and the link information of the target communication device recommended for switching.

[0013] Preferably, when the temporary base station receives a connection request from the terminal device, it chooses to connect the current terminal device to the temporary base station, or switches to other target communication devices, or rejects the connection request based on the signal strength, service quality and battery power that the temporary base station can currently provide.

[0014] Preferably, when the temporary base station enters the low power consumption mode, the corresponding service quality is configured preferentially for high-priority terminal devices; and low-priority terminal devices that cannot meet the service quality requirements are forcibly switched to other target communication devices.

[0015] Preferably, corresponding service qualities are configured for the terminal devices according to different service types of different terminal devices accessing the temporary base station.

[0016] Preferably, the target communication device comprises a conventional base station or non-terrestrial network equipment operating based on mains electricity.

[0017] Preferably, the control signal and the notification signal are generated based on a core network connected to the temporary base station.

[0018] The present invention also provides a temporary base station service system based on battery power supply, which includes a server, and the server works based on the temporary base station service method as described above.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the temporary base station service method disclosed in the above technical solution of the present invention can switch to low power consumption mode when the battery is low by monitoring the battery power in real time and dynamically adjusting the power consumption mode according to the comparison result between the power level and the preset threshold value, thereby reducing battery consumption and extending the operation time of the temporary base station. This dynamic adjustment mechanism has more energy efficiency optimization advantages than the traditional fixed power consumption mode. In addition, when the power consumption mode of the temporary base station changes (such as entering a low power consumption mode), a notification message is sent to the access terminal device, including power consumption mode change information and switching suggestions for the target communication device, which can effectively guide the terminal device to quickly switch to other available base stations or communication devices, avoid poor user communication due to signal weakening or interruption, and ensure the continuity of communication services. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a temporary base station service method in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to explain the technical content, structural features, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with the implementation methods and the accompanying drawings.

[0027] This embodiment discloses a temporary base station service method based on battery power supply. The temporary base station is a supplement to the conventional base station based on city power supply and can be used in places where conventional base stations cannot be deployed temporarily, such as natural disaster areas, high altitude areas and temporary large-scale activity areas. Figure 1 , the temporary base station service method comprises the following steps:

[0028] S10: real-time monitoring of the battery power of the temporary base station based on battery operation;

[0029] S11: comparing the battery power with a preset power threshold, and generating a control signal according to the comparison result;

[0030] S12: Dynamically adjust the power consumption mode of the temporary base station according to the control signal, wherein the power consumption mode includes a high power consumption mode operating at high power, a standard power consumption mode operating at standard power, and a low power consumption mode operating at low power.

[0031] S13: When the power consumption mode of the temporary base station changes, a notification message is also sent to the terminal device currently connected to the temporary base station, and the notification message includes first information related to the power consumption mode change and link information of the target communication device recommended for switching.

[0032] Specifically, the temporary base station collects the current battery power information in real time through the built-in battery management module (BMM), and records the power data every 5 seconds. This information is transmitted to the control unit (CU) of the base station through the data interface for subsequent processing.

[0033] The control unit compares the real-time battery power value with two preset power thresholds:

[0034] First threshold: 30% (critical value for switching from standard power consumption mode to low power consumption mode);

[0035] Second threshold: 10% (critical value for temporary base station to stop service).

[0036] According to the comparison results, the control unit generates corresponding control signals. The specific rules are as follows:

[0037] When the power level is higher than 30%, the temporary base station is controlled to maintain high power consumption mode to provide full power communication services;

[0038] When the battery level is lower than 30% but higher than 10%, the temporary base station is controlled to switch to low power consumption mode to reduce transmission power and energy consumption of non-essential functions;

[0039] When the battery level is lower than 10%, a notification of impending service termination is sent to the terminal device, and the temporary base station service is prepared to be shut down.

[0040] When the temporary base station switches from high power consumption mode to low power consumption mode, or is about to stop service, the temporary base station sends notification information to the currently connected terminal device through the signaling channel. The notification information includes:

[0041] Information about power consumption mode changes (e.g., "The base station is currently in low power consumption mode, and the coverage may be reduced");

[0042] The link information of the target communication device for the recommended handover, such as the identification (such as cell ID) and signal strength information of other available regular base stations, helps the terminal to quickly select the optimal connection.

[0043] After receiving the notification information, the terminal device scans the surrounding communication device signals and switches to the recommended communication device based on the target device link information and current signal quality provided by the base station. After the terminal switches, the temporary base station records the switching results and further updates the notification information when necessary.

[0044] For the temporary base station service method in this embodiment, first, by real-time monitoring of the battery power, and dynamically adjusting the power consumption mode according to the comparison result between the power level and the preset threshold, it can switch to the low power consumption mode when the power is low, reduce battery consumption, and thus extend the operation time of the temporary base station. This dynamic adjustment mechanism has more energy efficiency optimization advantages than the traditional fixed power consumption mode.

[0045] Secondly, when the temporary base station power consumption mode changes (such as entering low power consumption mode), a notification message is sent to the access terminal device, including power consumption mode change information and switching suggestions for the target communication device. This can effectively guide the terminal device to quickly switch to other available base stations or communication devices, avoiding user communication problems caused by signal weakening or interruption, and ensuring the continuity of communication services.

[0046] In addition, in emergency scenarios such as natural disasters, by dynamically adjusting the power consumption mode and notification mechanism of temporary base stations, it is possible to maximize communication security capabilities when battery resources are limited, reduce the risk of communication interruption due to battery depletion, and improve the reliability of the entire emergency communication system.

[0047] On the other hand, the control signal and the notification signal are generated based on a core network connected to the temporary base station.

[0048] Specifically, the temporary base station establishes a connection with the core network and transmits information such as battery power to the core network in real time.

[0049] The core network generates a control signal based on the collected battery power.

[0050] When the base station enters the low power consumption mode or the service status changes, the core network generates a notification signal and sends it to the access terminal device through the temporary base station.

[0051] In this embodiment, based on the global perspective of the core network, intelligent scheduling of base station resources is performed, such as selecting a target communication device to be switched, thereby optimizing battery usage and service quality of the temporary base station.

[0052] On the other hand, when the temporary base station receives a connection request from the terminal device, it chooses to connect the current terminal device to the temporary base station, or switches to other target communication devices, or rejects the connection request based on the signal strength, service quality and battery power that the temporary base station can currently provide.

[0053] Specifically, when the temporary base station receives a connection request from a terminal device, it immediately starts a connection evaluation, that is, measuring the signal strength and service quality indicators (such as bandwidth, delay, etc.) that the current temporary base station can provide, and performing a comprehensive evaluation in combination with the current power information obtained by the battery management module.

[0054] Based on the evaluation results, the control unit executes the following decision logic:

[0055] Access terminal: If the signal strength and service quality meet the preset standards and the battery power is sufficient, the terminal is allowed to access.

[0056] Handover suggestion: If the signal strength or service quality is insufficient, or the battery power is below the threshold, a handover suggestion is sent to the terminal, along with information about other target communication devices (such as the cell ID and signal strength of neighboring base stations). If there are no other available target communication devices, the connection request is rejected and a rejection notification is sent, indicating that the current service is unavailable.

[0057] For successfully connected terminal devices, the temporary base station dynamically adjusts the power consumption mode according to the real-time power and service quality, and continuously monitors the signal quality. When the service capability of the base station changes, the connected terminal devices are notified in time, and the latest switching suggestions or service status information are provided.

[0058] In this embodiment, by dynamically evaluating signal strength, service quality and battery power, resource allocation of the temporary base station is optimized to ensure the best service under limited battery conditions.

[0059] On the other hand, when the temporary base station enters the low power consumption mode, the corresponding service quality is configured for high-priority terminal devices first; and low-priority terminal devices that cannot meet the service quality requirements are actively switched to other target communication devices.

[0060] Specifically, when the battery power of the temporary base station is less than 30%, the temporary base station automatically switches to low power consumption mode and starts priority management. At this time, the temporary base station classifies the priority of the connected terminal devices according to preset rules (such as emergency services, VIP users, etc.), and divides the interrupted devices into high priority and low priority.

[0061] Then, the corresponding quality of service is configured for high-priority terminal devices to ensure that their communication needs can still be met in low-power mode. This includes allocating sufficient bandwidth, prioritizing data flow, etc.

[0062] However, for low-priority terminal devices, if the current temporary base station cannot meet their service quality requirements, a switching instruction is sent through the signaling channel to force switching to other target communication devices.

[0063] In this embodiment, in low power consumption mode, services are provided to high priority terminal devices first, ensuring that important communications are not affected and improving the emergency response capability of the system. Secondly, through priority management, limited resources are reasonably allocated to maximize the service capability of temporary base stations in low power consumption mode.

[0064] In addition, forced switching of low-priority terminal devices can reduce the decline in user experience caused by insufficient service quality and maintain the overall stability of the network.

[0065] On the other hand, the temporary base station service method in this embodiment further includes: configuring corresponding service quality for the terminal equipment according to different service types of different terminal equipment accessing the temporary base station.

[0066] Specifically, the temporary base station classifies the connected terminal devices through the service type identification module, and identifies the service type required by the terminal devices, such as voice calls, video streams, data transmission, etc.

[0067] Next, configure the corresponding Quality of Service (QoS) parameters based on the identified service type:

[0068] Voice calls: Assign higher priority and low latency to ensure call quality.

[0069] Video streaming: Allocate sufficient bandwidth and stability to avoid delays and freezes.

[0070] Data transmission: Dynamically adjust bandwidth allocation based on power consumption and network load.

[0071] Then, the temporary base station continuously monitors the network status and battery power, and dynamically adjusts the QoS configuration to ensure that different business types can still receive the best service under limited resources.

[0072] If the current temporary base station cannot meet the service quality requirements of certain business types, the temporary base station will send a notification to the terminal device, suggesting that it switch to other target communication devices to obtain better service quality.

[0073] In this embodiment, personalized service quality configuration is provided for different service types to improve user satisfaction. In addition, limited network resources are reasonably allocated to ensure efficient service of temporary base stations under various business requirements and maximize the use efficiency and service capabilities of base stations.

[0074] The target communication device in the above embodiment includes a conventional base station or non-terrestrial network device (such as a satellite communication device) based on city power. It should be noted that there are usually signals of conventional base stations around the area where the temporary base station is located. The signal strength of the conventional base station may not be satisfactory. However, when the temporary base station is low on power, switching the terminal device to a nearby conventional base station is also a good choice.
