Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device, electronic device, and storage medium for energy saving control of a home base station. Background Art

[0002] In the home communications sector, traditional home base stations are typically used to enhance 4G signal coverage, ensuring smooth 4G communication within the home. Using hardware components like radio frequency units and power amplifiers, these base stations continuously transmit 4G signals, ensuring communication services are available when needed. Based on actual user access needs, home base stations can dynamically adjust their operating modes, achieving energy savings.

[0003] In the prior art, a low-load-based threshold energy-saving method is used to control energy conservation in home base stations. This method involves first setting a low-load threshold, using the user equipment (UE) served by the home base station as the home base station load value. When the home base station load value is not greater than the low-load threshold, the home base station sends a sleep request and information about the target home base station serving the UE to be switched out to a centralized node. The centralized node determines that the target home base station is not overloaded and allows the home base station to sleep. When the home base station load value is greater than the low-load threshold, the home base station remains powered on.

[0004] In the existing technology, before entering the sleep state, the home base station needs to send a sleep request to the centralized node and carry the load information of itself and the adjacent home base stations. The centralized node needs to determine whether to allow sleep based on this information. This process is relatively complicated, which increases the communication overhead and processing time of the system, resulting in low energy-saving control efficiency; and when the target home base station is in the sleep state, it is necessary to send a wake-up message through the centralized node, and then the home base station sends a UE switching request. This process not only increases the communication delay, but may also cause a brief communication interruption of the user equipment during the switching process, affecting the user experience; since the energy-saving state of the switching device is adjusted according to the load situation, the current residents may have usage needs (below the load threshold), but the home base station is dormant, affecting the user experience.

Figure 2 FIG is another example diagram of an application scenario of the energy-saving control method for a home base station provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, intelligent energy-saving management of the home base station is achieved through the collaborative operation of a home gateway (such as an optical modem), a home base station, and terminal devices (such as mobile phones and tablets). As the core device, the home gateway connects to the external fiber optic network via a PON interface, to the home base station via a Gigabit Ethernet interface, and to terminal devices via a WiFi interface. The home gateway dynamically adjusts the operating state of the home base station based on the terminal device's access status and communication needs (information about its demand for mobile communication network usage), achieving energy savings. Figure 1 The fixed-mobile converged integrated terminal shown in the figure integrates the home gateway and home base station into one device. The two network elements communicate internally through a 1GE gigabit network, which has a high degree of integration. Figure 2The home gateway and home base station shown are two independent devices, and their communication interface is Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45 interface + Gigabit Ethernet cable).

[0098] The functions of a home gateway include broadband access, network management, device management, and user interface. For broadband access, the home gateway (optical modem) is the core device of the home network, responsible for converting external fiber optic network signals into network signals available within the home, providing wired and wireless network access services. For network management, the home gateway manages the wired and wireless connections of the home network, including DHCP services, DNS (Domain Name Server) resolution, NAT (Network Address Translation) conversion, etc. For device management, the home gateway can monitor and manage devices connected to the home gateway, including terminal devices and home base stations. For the user interface, a web management interface is provided, and users can access and configure the settings of the home gateway through a browser.

[0099] The communication interfaces of the home gateway include PON interface, Gigabit network interface, WiFi interface and other interfaces.

[0100] The PON interface is used to connect to an external fiber optic network to achieve broadband access. The PON interface supports multi-point to single-point communication and can convert fiber optic signals into network signals that can be used within the home. The PON interface is usually a small fiber optic interface that supports standard fiber optic connectors such as SC and LC. The communication protocols of the PON interface include: GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) or EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) standards.

[0101] The Gigabit Ethernet interface is used to connect to the home base station and other wired devices, enabling high-speed data transmission and control signal transmission. The Gigabit Ethernet interface is typically an RJ-45 Ethernet interface that supports the Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) standard. The communication protocol of the Gigabit Ethernet interface supports the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard, enabling high-speed data transmission and device control.

[0102] The WiFi interface provides wireless network access services, supporting a variety of terminal devices (such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops) to connect to the home network via WiFi. The WiFi interface is in the form of a WLAN antenna and supports the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands. The communication protocol of the WiFi interface supports wireless LAN standards such as IEEE 802.11b / g / n / ac / ax, enabling high-speed wireless data transmission.

[0103] Other interfaces may include a USB interface and a telephone interface. The USB interface is used to connect external storage devices or USB network expansion devices, supporting data storage and network sharing. The telephone interface is used to connect to traditional telephone lines and supports VoIP (Voice over IP) services for landline telephone communication.

[0104] The functions of a home base station include 4G signal coverage and network access. For 4G signal coverage, the home base station enhances 4G signal coverage within the home, ensuring smooth calls and text messaging within the home. It provides voice and data services using the 4G LTE standard. For network access, the home base station connects to the home gateway via a Gigabit Ethernet interface, communicating with the gateway, network management system, and core network via the home gateway's PON port.

[0105] The home base station's communication interfaces include a 4G LTE interface and a Gigabit Ethernet interface. The 4G LTE interface transmits and receives 4G LTE signals, supporting voice and data services. The Gigabit Ethernet interface connects to a home gateway, enabling high-speed data transmission and control signal transmission.

[0106] Terminal devices access the home network via Wi-Fi or 4G networks for data and voice communications. These devices can include smartphones, tablets, smart door locks, and motion sensors. They support a variety of network protocols and standards, such as IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN and 4G LTE. They connect to the home gateway via Wi-Fi or to the home base station via 4G.

[0107] The home gateway and home base station communicate via a Gigabit Ethernet interface, enabling high-speed data transmission and control signal transmission. The Gigabit Ethernet interface supports wireless LAN standards such as IEEE 802.11b / g / n / ac / ax. The home gateway and home base station transmit control signals via the Gigabit Ethernet interface. The home gateway sends control signals to control the home base station's on / off state, achieving energy-saving management. User data is also transmitted between the home gateway and home base station to ensure continuous communication.

[0108] Terminal devices connect to the home gateway via WiFi for data communication and internet access. This WiFi connection supports wireless LAN standards such as IEEE 802.11b / g / n / ac / ax, enabling high-speed wireless data transmission. The home gateway monitors the access status and communication needs of terminal devices through the WiFi connection and dynamically adjusts the operating status of the home base station.

[0109] Terminal devices connect to the home base station via the 4G network for voice and data communications. The communication protocol supports the 4G LTE standard, enabling high-speed data transmission and voice services. The home base station receives control signals from the home gateway (optical modem) and dynamically adjusts its operating status to achieve energy-saving management.

[0110] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below.

[0111] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of an energy-saving control method for a home base station provided by an embodiment of the present application. The energy-saving control method for the home base station is applied to a home gateway, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes: step 310 to step 320.

[0112] Step 310: Obtaining user usage demand information for the mobile communication network based on the access device.

[0113] The access device is a terminal device that accesses the home gateway in the home. The mobile communication network is a communication network that provides telephone or SMS services, such as a 4G network or a 5G network.

[0114] The home gateway can obtain the device type of the access device and, based on the device type, determine the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network (such as the 4G network); alternatively, the home gateway can also determine the user's home status based on the monitoring information of the access device and, based on the user's home status, determine the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present application, obtaining the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network based on the access device includes: obtaining device information of at least one of the access devices; determining the target device type of each of the access devices based on at least one of the device information; and determining the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network based on the target device type.

[0116] The device information may include MAC address, device name, IP address, etc., and may also include user agent information in the HTTP protocol header (i.e., information in the User-Agent field). The target device type may include mobile phones or non-mobile phones (general network devices).

[0117] For each access device, the home gateway can identify the device information of the access device, determine the target device type of the access device, and then determine the user's demand information for using the mobile communication network based on whether the target device types of all access devices include mobile phones.

[0118] By identifying the target device type of the access device and then determining the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network, the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network can be accurately determined, thereby improving the accuracy of controlling the working status of the home base station.

[0119] In an optional embodiment, the device information includes a MAC address, a device name, and user agent information in an HTTP protocol header;

[0120] Determining the target device type of each access device based on at least one of the device information includes: for each piece of device information, determining the preliminary device type of the access device based on the organization unique identifier in the MAC address and the device name; when the preliminary device type includes a mobile phone, determining the target device type of the access device based on the user agent information.

[0121] For each piece of device information, the home gateway can use the OUI portion of the MAC address and the keywords in the device name to determine the preliminary device type of the access device corresponding to the device information. For example, the organization identifier can be identified based on the OUI portion, and the device type corresponding to the organization identifier (i.e., the device type of the device produced by the organization corresponding to the organization identifier) ​​can be obtained as the preliminary device type of the access device. For example, if the OUI identifier of the MAC address is a well-known mobile phone manufacturer, and the device name contains mobile phone brand information such as "Huawei", "OPPO", "Xiaomi", etc., the preliminary device type is determined to include mobile phones.

[0122] When the preliminary device type includes a mobile phone (the preliminary device type may also include other device types), the User-Agent field in the HTTP protocol header can be further parsed to obtain detailed information about the device, such as the operating system, device model, etc., and then the target device type of the access device can be determined based on the detailed information of the device.

[0123] DHCP Option analysis can also be performed to identify the device type based on some attributes in the DHCP message. Commonly used attributes for identification include: Option 55 (requested parameter list), Option 60 (vendor ID), and Option 12 (host name). Based on these attributes, it can be determined whether the preliminary device type includes mobile phones.

[0124] By determining the preliminary device type based on the organization unique identifier and the device name, and then determining the target device type based on the user agent information in the HTTP protocol header when the preliminary device type includes a mobile phone, the accuracy of the target device type determination can be improved.

[0125] In an optional implementation, determining the user's usage requirement information for the mobile communication network based on the target device type includes:

[0126] If at least one of the target device types includes a mobile phone, determining that the usage requirement information requires the use of a mobile communication network; or

[0127] If at least one of the target device types does not include a mobile phone, it is determined that the usage requirement information indicates that the mobile communication network does not need to be used.

[0128] Among all access devices, if the target device type includes a mobile phone, the usage requirement information can be determined as requiring the use of a mobile communication network; if the target device type of all access devices does not include a mobile phone, the usage requirement information can be determined as not requiring the use of a mobile communication network.

[0129] In addition to using the aforementioned device information to determine the target device type, other device identification technologies, such as device fingerprint recognition, can also be used to identify the target device type and further improve recognition accuracy. For example, when unlocking a mobile phone, the mobile phone's fingerprint unlock information can be sent to the home gateway. The home gateway can then determine that the target device type of the access device is a mobile phone based on the fingerprint unlock information.

[0130] In other embodiments of the present application, obtaining the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network based on the access device includes: determining the user's entry and exit status based on the monitoring information of the access device, and the access device is located on the door; determining the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network based on the entry and exit status.

[0131] Among them, the access device located on the home door may include at least one of a smart door lock, a smart cat eye, and a human body sensing device.

[0132] Homes often have at least one of a smart door lock, a smart peephole, or a human presence sensor. These devices are typically connected to a home gateway for intelligent control of home electronics. Monitoring of these devices can be incorporated into the energy-saving control of the home base station, further enhancing local intelligence. For example, when the home base station is off, a smart door lock detects the user entering the home and automatically controls the base station to power on, preemptively ensuring 4G network coverage.

[0133] By determining the user's entry and exit status based on the monitoring information of the access device, and then determining the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network based on the entry and exit status, it is convenient to control the working status of the home base station based on the usage demand information. When the user enters the home, the home base station can be automatically controlled to turn on to ensure the coverage of the mobile communication network signal in advance. When the user leaves the home, the home base station can be automatically controlled to turn off to reduce the energy consumption of the home base station.

[0134] In an optional implementation manner, determining the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network based on the home entry and exit status includes:

[0135] If the entry / exit status indicates entry / exit, determining that the usage requirement information indicates a need to use the mobile communication network; or

[0136] If the entry and exit status indicates leaving the home, it is determined that the usage requirement information indicates that the mobile communication network does not need to be used.

[0137] The entry and exit status can be determined in combination with the number of users in the home. When it is identified that all users are out of the home, the usage demand information can be determined as not needing to use the mobile communication network. When there are users at home (such as some users are out of the home or some users are entering the home), the usage demand information can be determined as needing to use the mobile communication network.

[0138] Step 320: Control the working state of the home base station according to the usage demand information.

[0139] The working state of the home base station may be on or off.

[0140] When the usage demand information indicates that the mobile communication network needs to be used, the home gateway controls the home base station to be in the on state to meet the user's needs for making calls and sending and receiving text messages; when the usage demand information indicates that the mobile communication network is not needed, the home gateway controls the home base station to be in the off state to save energy.

[0141] In some embodiments of the present application, controlling the working state of the home base station according to the usage demand information includes:

[0142] If the usage requirement information indicates that the mobile communication network needs to be used, sending a control signal for turning on the mobile communication network to the home base station; or

[0143] If the usage requirement information indicates that the mobile communication network does not need to be used, a shutdown control signal is sent to the home base station.

[0144] If the usage demand information indicates that the mobile communication network needs to be used, the home gateway can send an on control signal to the home base station to control the home base station to turn on, so that the home base station is in the on state; if the usage demand information indicates that the mobile communication network does not need to be used, the home gateway can send a off control signal to the home base station to control the home base station to turn off, so that the home base station is in the off state, thereby saving energy consumption.

[0145] The energy-saving control method for a home base station provided in an embodiment of the present application obtains user usage demand information for a mobile communication network based on an access device through a home gateway, controls the working state of the home base station according to the usage demand information, and uses the home gateway to implement localized management and control. The control logic is simple, and there is no need for communication and interaction with other units or uplink devices. The response is timely, which improves the energy-saving control efficiency. Moreover, the working state of the home base station can be dynamically adjusted based on the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network, and can ensure that the home base station is in an on state when the user has usage needs. There is no need to switch the home base station to which the device is connected, which can avoid communication interruption and improve user experience.

[0146] Based on the above technical solution, obtaining the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network based on the access device may include: when it is detected that a device has access to the target WiFi corresponding to the target service set identifier, determining that the usage demand information requires the use of the mobile communication network.

[0147] Home gateways can currently generally set up multiple WiFi signals. Users need to distinguish their WiFi names and passwords when connecting, and terminal devices can also distinguish different WiFi signals through WiFi's SSID (Service Set Identifier).

[0148] Users can fixedly connect terminal devices that need to use mobile communication networks (such as 4G networks) to a target WiFi. When the home gateway recognizes that a device is connected to the target WiFi corresponding to the target SSID, it determines that the usage demand information requires the use of the mobile communication network, and can control the opening of the home base station to enable users to communicate through the mobile communication network. In this way, more personalized usage needs of users can be realized.

[0149] Based on the above technical solution, the method may further include: determining a time period during which the user needs to use the mobile communication network based on schedule information configured by the user; and controlling the home base station to remain turned on during the time period.

[0150] The user can configure schedule information through the user interface provided by the home gateway. By analyzing the schedule information configured by the user, the time period when the user is at home (such as at night) can be determined, that is, the time period when the user needs to use the mobile communication network can be obtained. The home base station can be controlled to remain on during the time period. That is, when the start time of the time period is reached, the home gateway sends a control message to turn on the home base station to control the home base station to turn on. When the end time of the time period is reached, the home gateway sends a control message to turn off the home base station to control the home base station to turn off, thereby saving energy consumption.

[0151] By making personalized settings based on user needs, we can combine the user's schedule to predict in advance the time the user will be at home and further optimize the switching time of the home base station.

[0152] On the basis of the above technical solution, the obtaining of user demand information for the mobile communication network based on the access device may include: when the energy-saving configuration information of the home base station is adaptive energy-saving, obtaining user demand information for the mobile communication network based on the access device.

[0153] The user can configure the energy-saving information of the home base station through the user interface provided by the home gateway (such as the Web or APP interface). If the user's energy-saving configuration information for the home base station is adaptive energy saving, the home gateway can obtain the user's usage demand information for the mobile communication network based on the access device, and then control the working status of the home base station based on the usage demand information, thereby realizing the adjustment of the energy-saving control method of the home base station based on the user's settings.

[0154] On the basis of the above technical solution, the method may further include:

[0155] When the energy-saving configuration information of the home base station is always on, keeping the home base station turned on; or

[0156] When the energy-saving configuration information of the home base station is always off, the home base station is kept in a turned-off state.

[0157] Users can configure the energy-saving information of the home base station through the user interface provided by the home gateway (such as the Web or APP interface). In addition to configuring the energy-saving configuration information as adaptive energy saving, the energy-saving configuration information can also be configured to make the home base station always on or always off.

[0158] If the user sets the energy-saving configuration information of the home base station to always on, the home base station remains on and the home gateway does not control it. If the user sets the energy-saving configuration information of the home base station to always off, the home base station remains off and the home gateway does not control it.

[0159] Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling energy saving of a home base station provided by an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment is described by taking the method of controlling the working state of the home base station based on the device type of the access device as an example. Figure 4 As shown, the method may include:

[0160] In step 410, the terminal device attempts to connect to the home WiFi, or the terminal device disconnects from the home WiFi.

[0161] Step 420: The home gateway detects whether a terminal device is connected or disconnected.

[0162] Step 430: The home gateway obtains terminal device information.

[0163] Step 440: The home gateway analyzes the terminal device attributes.

[0164] The home gateway analyzes the terminal device attributes and determines the target device type of the terminal device.

[0165] In step 450 , the home gateway determines whether the terminal device is a device that requires a 4G network. If yes, step 460 is executed; if not, step 480 is executed.

[0166] Step 460: Turn on the home base station.

[0167] The home gateway sends a power-on control signal to the home base station, and the home base station powers on the home base station based on the control signal.

[0168] In step 470, the user successfully connects to the 4G network.

[0169] Step 480: shut down the home base station.

[0170] The home gateway sends a shutdown control signal to the home base station, and the home base station shuts down the home base station based on the control signal.

[0171] The energy-saving control method for the home base station provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes localized dynamic energy-saving management of the home base station, ensuring stable service when the user needs it, and shutting down the home base station when the user is not at home or has no communication needs, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0172] Figure 5 This is a flow chart of the implementation of the energy-saving control method of the home base station provided by the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5As shown, the energy-saving control method for a home base station provided in an embodiment of the present application can be implemented by configuring a terminal information receiving module, a terminal attribute identification module, and a base station energy-saving control module in a home gateway. The terminal information receiving module receives information about the access terminal device through the home WiFi interface, including the MAC address, device name, IP address, connection status, and data packet characteristics.

[0173] The terminal attribute identification module analyzes the received terminal device information to determine whether the terminal device is a device that requires a 4G network, such as a smartphone. It can filter the device name to screen out devices that may use the 4G network, and then analyze the data packets of the device to identify the device attributes, that is, identify the target device type of the device. The specific identification method can refer to the above embodiment and will not be repeated here. The base station energy saving management and control module determines the energy saving requirements of the base station based on the attributes of the WiFi access terminal, realizes dynamic energy saving management of the home base station, and can also perform dynamic energy saving management of the home base station based on user setting information and time factors (such as schedule information).

[0174] The specific steps of energy-saving control may include: the base station energy-saving management and control module is located in the home gateway (optical modem) unit, which receives the device information currently connected to the WiFi provided by the terminal attribute identification module, and determines whether the terminal device is a device that requires a 4G network; if the terminal device is not a device that requires a 4G network, keep the base station closed; if the terminal device is a device that requires a 4G network, turn on the base station.

[0175] Special situation handling of energy-saving control: Users can actively set the base station to always on, always off or dynamic energy-saving (adaptive) status according to their daily behavioral needs or patterns to meet the personalized needs of different home users; the home gateway can be linked with smart door locks, human body sensors and other devices in the home to determine in advance whether the user is returning home or leaving home, and wake up or shut down the base station in advance to improve user experience.

[0176] The embodiments of the present application can solve the problem of energy waste. By intelligently detecting the access status and communication needs of user devices, dynamic energy-saving management of base stations can be achieved. When the user is not at home or has no communication needs, the base station is automatically shut down, significantly reducing energy consumption. The complex problem of energy-saving control in the prior art is solved by adopting localized home gateway control, which makes the control behavior simple and does not require communication with the upstream unit, resulting in efficient energy-saving control. Energy-saving control based on user needs is achieved. Nowadays, users usually access the Internet through WiFi at home, and the coverage effect of home base stations mainly meets the user's needs for making calls and sending and receiving text messages. The embodiments of the present application combine the user's WiFi connection status to determine their demand for 4G network coverage, and achieve intelligent linkage of home devices, making full use of various network resources to perform energy-saving control on home base stations.

[0177] Figure 6 This is an interactive flow chart of the energy-saving control method for a home base station provided by an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, on the UE side, when the device connects to WiFi, it reports the MAC address and device information and participates in HTTP protocol communication; on the optical modem (home gateway) side, the terminal information receiving module receives the MAC address and device information reported by the UE side device, the terminal attribute identification module extracts the device information, analyzes the data packet characteristics, determines the terminal type, and sends the connected WiFi device type (terminal type) to the energy-saving control module. The energy-saving control module controls the power-on status of the home base station, and can also prioritize energy-saving control based on user configuration information, and optimize based on time factors, that is, it prioritizes user-configured information (time factors or the number of specific Wi-Fi access devices) to determine whether the home base station needs to work, such as counting the number of mobile phones (or other 4G devices) connected to WiFi. If the number of accesses is 0, the home base station is turned off and enters energy-saving mode. If it is greater than or equal to 1, the home base station is turned on to achieve 4G communication coverage; the base station side can control the opening or closing of the home base station based on the control signal sent by the energy-saving control module on the optical modem side.

[0178] In this embodiment, the home gateway intelligently manages the home base station through the Gigabit Ethernet interface, dynamically adjusting the home base station's operating state based on the user's access status and communication needs. When the user is not at home or has no communication needs, the home base station automatically shuts down; when the user requires communication services, the home base station promptly powers up.

[0179] The embodiment of the present application uses a home gateway to achieve localized control and management. The control logic is simple, there is no need to communicate or interact with other units or upstream devices, and the response is timely. Compared with the continuous full-power operation of traditional base station equipment, the embodiment of the present application significantly reduces the energy consumption of the home base station through intelligent detection and dynamic adjustment. For example, a traditional base station runs 24 hours a day, with an annual power consumption of 87.6KWh; through intelligent management and control, the embodiment of the present application only runs 8 hours a day, and the annual power consumption is reduced to 29.2KWh, with a significant energy-saving effect. The embodiment of the present application reduces the operating time of the home base station, reduces the loss of equipment, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces maintenance costs. The embodiment of the present application can respond intelligently and can be linked to smart devices such as home smart door locks and human body sensors to more effectively meet user needs and improve user experience.

[0180] In the embodiment of the present application, the home gateway combines the user's schedule and behavior configuration to control the home base station switch, which can ensure communication continuity, avoid the problem of the user device being disconnected from the 4G network before connecting to WiFi, ensure the continuity and stability of communication, and improve the user experience; enhance adaptability, and through user configuration, it can adapt to the network usage needs of different families.

[0181] In the embodiment of the present application, the home gateway analyzes the MAC address, device name, IP address, connection status and data packet characteristics of the terminal device, uses the OUI part of the MAC address and the keywords in the device name to preliminarily determine the device type, parses the User-Agent field in the HTTP protocol header, and obtains detailed information about the device, such as the operating system, device model, etc., and can accurately identify whether the terminal device is a device that requires a 4G network, such as a smartphone, thereby improving the accuracy of device identification, and deciding whether the working status of the home base station needs to be adjusted based on the type of terminal device, thereby realizing flexible network management.
