[0095] With the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, AI-based intelligent energy-saving solutions have become a research hotspot. To enable Radio Access Network (RAN) nodes to support AI-based network energy saving, it is necessary to collect energy consumption information from relevant network nodes as input to the AI ​​model, so that the AI ​​model can perform energy-saving related processing. In the CU-DU separated architecture, one CU corresponds to one or more DUs. In related technologies, these DUs report the collected energy consumption information to the corresponding CU in the form of energy consumption index values. However, there is a deviation between the energy consumption index values ​​and the actual energy consumption values ​​measured by the DUs, and the time for collecting energy consumption information among the DUs is inconsistent, resulting in inaccurate energy consumption information statistically obtained by the CU.

[0096] Based on this, in this embodiment, the first network device receives first information sent by the second network device. The first information is used to instruct the collection and / or reporting of energy consumption information. The first information includes one or more of the following: a first instruction, and one or more time windows. Here, the first instruction is used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption values ​​or energy consumption index values; the time window is used to instruct the time period for collecting energy consumption information. Based on this, the first network device can report energy consumption values ​​to the second network device based on the first instruction in the first information, and / or collect energy consumption information based on the time period indicated by the time window in the first information. This allows different first network devices to collect energy consumption information within a unified time period. Compared to related technologies, the first network device can report more accurate energy consumption values ​​and / or a unified energy consumption collection time, thereby improving the accuracy of the reported energy consumption information and further improving the accuracy of the energy consumption information statistically obtained by the second network device.

[0097] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0098] This application provides an information processing method applied to a first network device. In practical applications, the first network device may be a DU (Distributed Unit).

[0099] SeeFigure 1 The method includes:

[0100] Step 101: Receive the first information sent by the second network device.

[0101] The first piece of information is used to instruct the collection and / or reporting of energy consumption information.

[0102] The first information includes one or more of the following: a first instruction, one or more time windows; the first instruction is used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption values ​​or energy consumption index values; the time window is used to instruct the period of time for collecting energy consumption information.

[0103] In practical applications, the second network device can be a CU (Computer Unit). The first and second network devices can be deployed based on a separate architecture, with one second network device corresponding to one or more first network devices. The second network device can send first information to the first network device; for example, one second network device can send first information to one or more corresponding first network devices respectively.

[0104] In practical applications, the first network device can collect and / or report energy consumption information based on the first information. Specifically, the first network device can collect energy consumption information based on the first information and then report the collected energy consumption information; the first network device can also collect energy consumption information first and then report the collected energy consumption information based on the first information; the first network device can also collect energy consumption information based on the first information and report the collected energy consumption information based on the first information.

[0105] In practical applications, the first network device can collect energy consumption information within the time periods corresponding to all or part of the one or more time windows indicated by the first information. During the collection of energy consumption information, the first network device can measure the energy consumption information corresponding to the energy consumption generated by relevant network nodes. For example, the relevant network nodes measured by the first network device can be the cells surrounding the first network device.

[0106] In one embodiment, the time window is used to indicate the second and third times; or,

[0107] The time window is used to indicate the second time and the first duration;

[0108] Among them, the second time represents the start time of collecting energy consumption information, the third time represents the end time of collecting energy consumption information, and the first duration represents the duration of collecting energy consumption information.

[0109] In practical applications, the second network device can send first information to multiple first network devices respectively, and the time windows indicated by these first information are the same. In this way, the first network devices that receive the first information can collect energy consumption information based on the same time window, thereby enabling different first network devices to collect energy consumption information within the same time period, improving the accuracy of the energy consumption information reported by the first network devices, and thus improving the accuracy of the energy consumption information statistically obtained by the second network devices.

[0110] The first network device can also report energy consumption values ​​or energy consumption index values ​​to the second network device based on the first instruction. Reporting energy consumption values ​​can be understood as reporting the energy consumption quantification results corresponding to the collected energy consumption information in the form of energy consumption values. Reporting energy consumption index values ​​can be understood as reporting the energy consumption quantification results corresponding to the collected energy consumption information in the form of energy consumption index values. Energy consumption index values ​​can be mapped from energy consumption values, and compared with energy consumption index values, energy consumption values ​​can more accurately reflect the actual energy consumption quantification results.

[0111] For example, if the energy consumption value corresponding to the collected energy consumption information is in the range of 1 to 2, the energy consumption value can be mapped to an energy consumption index value of 1.

[0112] In practical applications, the first instruction can be set by the second network device based on the same situation between the manufacturer corresponding to the first network device and the manufacturer corresponding to the second network device. For example, the manufacturer corresponding to the network device can be the provider corresponding to the network device.

[0113] When the first network device and the second network device are from the same manufacturer, the first instruction can be used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption values; when the first network device and the second network device are from different manufacturers, the first instruction can be used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values.

[0114] In practical applications, energy consumption values ​​are sensitive information. While they can be exchanged between network devices from the same manufacturer, they are not suitable for exchange between network devices from different manufacturers. The first instruction is set based on the same manufacturer for both the first and second network devices. This prevents the exchange of energy consumption values ​​between the first and second network devices when they belong to different manufacturers, thus avoiding the leakage of sensitive information and improving security. Furthermore, it allows for the exchange of more accurate energy consumption values ​​between the first and second network devices when they belong to the same manufacturer. This improves the accuracy of the energy consumption information reported by the first network device while ensuring security, thereby improving the accuracy of the energy consumption information statistically obtained by the second network device.

[0115] In practical applications, the second network device can send the first information to the first network device based on one or more of the following triggering conditions:

[0116] Scenario 1: Upon receiving the first request, the second network device sends the first information to the first network device.

[0117] The first request is used to request energy consumption information.

[0118] In practical applications, the first request can be sent from a relevant network node of the second network device to the second network device. For example, the relevant network node sending the first request can be a neighboring station of the second network device.

[0119] Scenario 2: When the second network device uses the first preset model to make energy consumption-related decisions, it sends the first information to the first network device.

[0120] In practical applications, the first setting model can be an AI model or machine learning (ML) model used for energy consumption-related decisions. The first setting model can be deployed on the second network device or on related network devices of the second network device. For example, the first setting model can be used to: decide whether to shut down underutilized cells, or, after load balancing for high-load cells, assess whether it has a significant impact on overall energy efficiency.

[0121] The second network device can send first information to the first network device when it uses the first preset model to make energy-related decisions, and the decision-making process of the first preset model needs to be based on the energy consumption information collected by the first network device.

[0122] Scenario 3: When the second network device decides, based on the second setting model, to perform a handover related to the first network device for the third terminal, it sends the first information to the first network device.

[0123] In practical applications, the second setting model can be an AI model or an ML model used to decide whether to perform a handover related to the first network device for a third terminal. The second setting model can be the same model as the first setting model. The second setting model can be deployed on the second network device or on related network devices of the second network device.

[0124] In practical applications, the handover related to the first network device can be understood as: the terminal switching from one first network device to another first network device. For example, it can refer to inter-DU handover.

[0125] In practical applications, the second network device can send the first information to the first network device when the second set model determines that the third terminal is performing a handover related to the first network device.

[0126] In practical applications, the first network device can report the collected energy consumption information to the second network device based on the first information.

[0127] Corresponding to scenario 1 above, after receiving the energy consumption information, the second network device can return the energy consumption information to the network device that sent the first request.

[0128] Corresponding to scenario 2 above, after receiving energy consumption information, the second network device can use the first preset model to make energy consumption-related decisions or further train the first preset model based on the energy consumption information. If the first preset model is deployed on a network device associated with the second network device, the second network device can return the energy consumption information to the network device that has deployed the first preset model, so that the first preset model can be used to make energy consumption-related decisions or further train the first preset model.

[0129] Corresponding to scenario 3 above, after receiving the energy consumption information, the second network device can determine the change in energy consumption information before and after the handover to the third terminal, and then judge whether the decision made by the second setting model is feasible. For example, if the change in energy consumption information before and after the handover is less than a set threshold, the decision made by the second setting model can be considered feasible.

[0130] In one embodiment, the first information further includes one or more of the following: a first time, a first mapping relationship, and first configuration information; wherein,

[0131] The first time is used to indicate the latest time for reporting energy consumption information; the first mapping relationship represents the mapping relationship between energy consumption value and energy consumption index value; the first configuration information is used to indicate the subdivision method of energy consumption index value.

[0132] In practical applications, the first network device can collect energy consumption information within one of the one or more time windows indicated by the first information. The first time is later than the end time corresponding to the time window used for collecting energy consumption information. That is, the first time can be regarded as the latest reporting time corresponding to the time window used for collecting energy consumption information.

[0133] In practical applications, the first network device can map the collected energy consumption values ​​to energy consumption index values ​​based on the first mapping relationship; the collected energy consumption values ​​can be understood as the energy consumption values ​​corresponding to the measured energy consumption information. When the first indication is used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values, the first information may include the first mapping relationship.

[0134] In practical applications, the first network device can further subdivide the energy consumption index value based on the first configuration information. When the first information includes a first indication used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values, the first information may include the first configuration information.

[0135] For example, if the first network device has already mapped the collected energy consumption value to an energy consumption index value M based on the first mapping relationship, the first network device can further map the energy consumption value to a level m1 among N levels based on the first configuration information. That is, the energy consumption index value M is further subdivided; where m1≤N, m1 can be regarded as the subdivided value corresponding to M. M and m1 can together form the subdivided energy consumption index value. For example, the subdivided energy consumption index value can be represented as M+m1. It should be noted that the "+" here is not a mathematical addition, but a character representation. For example, when M is 10 and m1 is 3, the subdivided energy consumption index value can be represented as 10+3, not 13.

[0136] For example, if the first network device has already mapped the collected energy consumption value to an energy consumption index value M based on the first mapping relationship, the first network device can also further map the energy consumption value to an energy consumption index value m2 in decimal form based on the first configuration information. That is, the energy consumption index value M is further subdivided; where m2 is a decimal, and m2 can be regarded as the subdivided value corresponding to M. M and m2 can together form the subdivided energy consumption index value. For example, the subdivided energy consumption index value can be expressed as M+m2. It should be noted that the "+" here is not a mathematical addition, but a character representation. For example, when M is 1 and m2 is 0.2, the subdivided energy consumption index value can be expressed as 1+0.5, instead of 1.5.

[0137] In one embodiment, the information processing method provided in this application further includes:

[0138] Based on the first information, the second information is reported to the second network device; wherein...

[0139] The second information represents information related to energy consumption values ​​collected by the first network device within one of a series of time windows.

[0140] In practical applications, the first network device can collect energy consumption information within one of one or more time windows, and report the collected energy consumption information to the second network device before the latest reporting time corresponding to that time window. The energy consumption information collected by the first network device can also be described as information related to the collected energy consumption value, which is equivalent to the second information in the embodiments of this application.

[0141] In practical applications, the first network device can report one or more pieces of second information to the second network device based on the first information. Each piece of second information can represent the energy consumption value-related information collected by the first network device within one or more time windows. The reporting time corresponding to each piece of second information can be different.

[0142] In one embodiment, the second information includes one or more of the following:

[0143] The first energy consumption value or the first energy consumption index value, the first energy consumption value represents the average energy consumption value corresponding to the energy consumption value collected by the first network device within a time window, and the first energy consumption index value represents the energy consumption index value mapped by the first energy consumption value.

[0144] The third information is used to indicate one or more cells corresponding to the first energy consumption value or the first energy consumption index value.

[0145] The number of first terminals, where a first terminal represents the number of terminals served by the first network device within a time window;

[0146] The second duration represents the duration during which the first network device serves the second terminal within a time window, and the second terminal represents a terminal that moves into and / or out of the service range of the first network device within a time window.

[0147] The fourth information indicates whether the first network device and / or the terminal served by the first network device are in an energy-saving state, or whether the first network device and / or the terminal served by the first network device have applied energy-saving technology.

[0148] In practical applications, the first network device can measure one or more energy consumption values ​​within a time window.

[0149] When the first indication is used to indicate the reporting of energy consumption values, the second information may include the first energy consumption value, which may be the average of one or more energy consumption values ​​measured by the first network device within the time window.

[0150] When the first instruction is used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values, the second information may include the first energy consumption index value. The first energy consumption index value can be obtained by mapping the first energy consumption value based on the first mapping relationship.

[0151] When the first instruction is used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values, the second information may further include a first energy consumption index sub-value, which represents a subdivided value corresponding to the first energy consumption index value. The first energy consumption index sub-value and the first energy consumption index value can together form a subdivided energy consumption index value. The first energy consumption index sub-value can be obtained by processing the first energy consumption value based on the first configuration information.

[0152] In practical applications, the first network device can measure one or more cells within a time window to obtain one or more energy consumption values. Here, the third information is used to indicate one or more cells corresponding to the first energy consumption value or the first energy consumption index value; it can also be understood as the third information being used to indicate one or more cells being measured.

[0153] In practical applications, the third information can be represented as a list of cell identifiers, where each item in the list represents the identifier of a cell being measured.

[0154] In practical applications, a second terminal can represent a first terminal that moves into and / or out of the service range of a first network device within a time window. The second information may include multiple second durations, each corresponding to a second terminal.

[0155] In one embodiment, the information processing method provided in this application further includes:

[0156] Send a fifth message to the second network device; the fifth message is used to instruct the first network device not to report energy consumption information before the first time.

[0157] In practical applications, if the first network device cannot report energy consumption information in the first instance, it can send the fifth message to the second network device.

[0158] In one embodiment, the fifth information further includes one or more of the following:

[0159] The first time window represents the time period during which the first network device collects energy consumption information.

[0160] The fourth time, which represents the latest time at which the first network device reports energy consumption information;

[0161] The sixth piece of information describes the reason why the first network device did not report energy consumption information before the first time.

[0162] In practical applications, the second network device can determine the time period during which the first network device can collect energy consumption information based on the first time window. The second network device can determine the latest time at which the first network device can report energy consumption information based on a fourth time, where the fourth time is later than the end time of the first time window.

[0163] Here, the sixth piece of information represents the reason why the first network device does not report energy consumption information in the first time. For example, the sixth piece of information may include: the load is too high and there are no spare measurement resources.

[0164] In practical applications, when the second network device decides to perform a handover related to the first network device for the third terminal based on the second setting model, it can send first information to the first network device to obtain the energy consumption information reported by the first network device, and then determine the change in energy consumption information before and after performing the handover for the third terminal, so as to judge whether the decision of the second setting model is feasible.

[0165] The first network device can be characterized as either the source network device or the target network device for the handover performed by the second network device on the third terminal. The first network device can, based on the first information, collect and / or report energy consumption information before the handover by the third terminal, and / or collect and / or report energy consumption information after the handover by the third terminal.

[0166] In one embodiment, the first information further includes one or more of the following:

[0167] The fifth time represents the time when the third terminal performs a handover related to the first network device;

[0168] The sixth time is used to indicate the latest time for the first network device to report energy consumption information after the third terminal performs a handover related to the first network device.

[0169] One or more time windows include: a second time window and / or a third time window; wherein,

[0170] The end time of the time period indicated by the second time window is earlier than the fifth time.

[0171] The start time of the time period indicated by the third time window is later than the fifth time period, and / or the end time of the time period indicated by the third time window is earlier than the sixth time period.

[0172] In practical applications, the fifth time can also be understood as: the latest time to report the energy consumption information collected by the first network device before the third terminal performs the handover related to the first network device.

[0173] The sixth time can be understood as: the latest time to report the energy consumption information collected by the first network device after the third terminal performs the handover related to the first network device.

[0174] The second time window can be understood as the period of time during which the first network device collects energy consumption information before the third terminal performs a handover related to the first network device.

[0175] The third time window can be understood as the period of time during which the first network device collects energy consumption information after the third terminal performs a handover related to the first network device.

[0176] In practical applications, the first network device can collect energy consumption information within a second time window based on the first information, and report the energy consumption information collected within the second time window before the fifth time. The first network device can also collect energy consumption information within a third time window based on the first information, and report the energy consumption information collected within the third time window before the sixth time.

[0177] In practical applications, the second network device can determine the change in energy consumption information before and after the third terminal performs the handover based on the energy consumption information reported by the first network device, and then judge whether the decision of the second set model is feasible.

[0178] In this embodiment, a first network device receives first information sent by a second network device. The first information instructs the collection and / or reporting of energy consumption information. The first information includes one or more of the following: a first instruction, and one or more time windows. Here, the first instruction instructs the reporting of energy consumption values ​​or energy consumption index values; the time window instructs the time period for collecting energy consumption information. Based on this, the first network device can report energy consumption values ​​to the second network device based on the first instruction in the first information, and / or collect energy consumption information based on the time period indicated by the time window in the first information. This allows different first network devices to collect energy consumption information within a unified time period. Compared to related technologies, the first network device can report more accurate energy consumption values ​​and / or a unified energy consumption collection time, thereby improving the accuracy of the reported energy consumption information and further improving the accuracy of the energy consumption information statistically obtained by the second network device.

[0179] Corresponding to the information processing method applied to the first network device in the above embodiments, this application also provides an information processing method applied to a second network device. In practical applications, the second network device can be a CU (Computer Unit). It should be noted that the embodiments on the second network device side can be understood with reference to the relevant embodiments on the first network device side described above.

[0180] See Figure 2 The information processing method provided in this application includes:

[0181] Step 201: Send the first information to the first network device.

[0182] The first information is used to instruct the first network device to collect and / or report energy consumption information.

[0183] The first information includes one or more of the following: a first instruction, one or more time windows; the first instruction is used to instruct the first network device to report energy consumption values ​​or energy consumption index values; the time window is used to instruct the first network device to collect energy consumption information during the time period.

[0184] In practical applications, the first network device can be a DU (Distributed Unit). The first network device and the second network device can be deployed based on a separate architecture, with one second network device corresponding to one or more first network devices. The second network device can send first information to the first network device; for example, one second network device can send first information to one or more corresponding first network devices respectively.

[0185] In practical applications, the first network device can collect and / or report energy consumption information based on the first information. Specifically, the first network device can collect energy consumption information based on the first information and then report the collected energy consumption information; the first network device can also collect energy consumption information first and then report the collected energy consumption information based on the first information; the first network device can also collect energy consumption information based on the first information and report the collected energy consumption information based on the first information.

[0186] In practical applications, the first network device can collect energy consumption information within the time periods corresponding to all or part of the one or more time windows indicated by the first information. During the collection of energy consumption information, the first network device can measure the energy consumption information corresponding to the energy consumption generated by relevant network nodes. For example, the relevant network nodes measured by the first network device can be the cells surrounding the first network device.

[0187] In one embodiment, the time window is used to indicate the second and third times; or,

[0188] The time window is used to indicate the second time and the first duration;

[0189] The second time represents the start time of the first network device collecting energy consumption information, the third time represents the end time of the first network device collecting energy consumption information, and the first duration represents the duration of the first network device collecting energy consumption information.

[0190] In practical applications, the second network device can send first information to multiple first network devices respectively, and the time windows indicated by these first information are the same. In this way, the first network devices that receive the first information can collect energy consumption information based on the same time window, thereby enabling different first network devices to collect energy consumption information within the same time period, improving the accuracy of the energy consumption information reported by the first network devices, and thus improving the accuracy of the energy consumption information statistically obtained by the second network devices.

[0191] The first network device can also report energy consumption values ​​or energy consumption index values ​​to the second network device based on the first instruction. Reporting energy consumption values ​​can be understood as reporting the energy consumption quantification results corresponding to the collected energy consumption information in the form of energy consumption values. Reporting energy consumption index values ​​can be understood as reporting the energy consumption quantification results corresponding to the collected energy consumption information in the form of energy consumption index values. Energy consumption index values ​​can be mapped from energy consumption values, and compared with energy consumption index values, energy consumption values ​​can more accurately reflect the actual energy consumption quantification results.

[0192] For example, if the energy consumption value corresponding to the collected energy consumption information is in the range of 1 to 2, the energy consumption value can be mapped to an energy consumption index value of 1.

[0193] In practical applications, the first instruction can be set by the second network device based on the same situation between the manufacturer corresponding to the first network device and the manufacturer corresponding to the second network device. For example, the manufacturer corresponding to the network device can be the provider corresponding to the network device.

[0194] When the first network device and the second network device are from the same manufacturer, the first instruction can be used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption values; when the first network device and the second network device are from different manufacturers, the first instruction can be used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values.

[0195] In practical applications, energy consumption values ​​are sensitive information. While they can be exchanged between network devices from the same manufacturer, they are not suitable for exchange between network devices from different manufacturers. The first instruction is set based on the same manufacturer for both the first and second network devices. This prevents the exchange of energy consumption values ​​between the first and second network devices when they belong to different manufacturers, thus avoiding the leakage of sensitive information and improving security. Furthermore, it allows for the exchange of more accurate energy consumption values ​​between the first and second network devices when they belong to the same manufacturer. This improves the accuracy of the energy consumption information reported by the first network device while ensuring security, thereby improving the accuracy of the energy consumption information statistically obtained by the second network device.

[0196] In one embodiment, the first information further includes one or more of the following: a first time, a first mapping relationship, and first configuration information; wherein,

[0197] The first time is used to indicate the latest time for the first network device to report energy consumption information; the first mapping relationship represents the mapping relationship between energy consumption value and energy consumption index value; the first configuration information is used to indicate the subdivision method of energy consumption index value.

[0198] In practical applications, the first network device can collect energy consumption information within one of the one or more time windows indicated by the first information. The first time is later than the end time corresponding to the time window used for collecting energy consumption information. That is, the first time can be regarded as the latest reporting time corresponding to the time window used for collecting energy consumption information.

[0199] In practical applications, the first network device can map the collected energy consumption values ​​to energy consumption index values ​​based on the first mapping relationship; the collected energy consumption values ​​can be understood as the energy consumption values ​​corresponding to the measured energy consumption information. When the first indication is used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values, the first information may include the first mapping relationship.

[0200] In practical applications, the first network device can further subdivide the energy consumption index value based on the first configuration information. When the first information includes a first indication used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values, the first information may include the first configuration information.

[0201] For example, if the first network device has already mapped the collected energy consumption value to an energy consumption index value M based on the first mapping relationship, the first network device can further map the energy consumption value to a level m1 among N levels based on the first configuration information. That is, the energy consumption index value M is further subdivided; where m1≤N, m1 can be regarded as the subdivided value corresponding to M. M and m1 can together form the subdivided energy consumption index value. For example, the subdivided energy consumption index value can be represented as M+m1. It should be noted that the "+" here is not a mathematical addition, but a character representation. For example, when M is 10 and m1 is 3, the subdivided energy consumption index value can be represented as 10+3, not 13.

[0202] For example, if the first network device has already mapped the collected energy consumption value to an energy consumption index value M based on the first mapping relationship, the first network device can also further map the energy consumption value to an energy consumption index value m2 in decimal form based on the first configuration information. That is, the energy consumption index value M is further subdivided; where m2 is a decimal, and m2 can be regarded as the subdivided value corresponding to M. M and m2 can together form the subdivided energy consumption index value. For example, the subdivided energy consumption index value can be expressed as M+m2. It should be noted that the "+" here is not a mathematical addition, but a character representation. For example, when M is 1 and m2 is 0.2, the subdivided energy consumption index value can be expressed as 1+0.5, instead of 1.5.

[0203] In one embodiment, sending first information to a first network device includes:

[0204] Upon receiving a first request, first information is sent to a first network device; the first request is used to request energy consumption information; and / or,

[0205] When making energy-related decisions using a first predefined model, first information is sent to a first network device; and / or,

[0206] If, based on the second setting model, a decision is made to perform a handover related to the first network device for the third terminal, first information is sent to the first network device.

[0207] In practical applications, the second network device can send the first information to the first network device based on one or more of the following triggering conditions:

[0208] Scenario 1: Upon receiving the first request, the second network device sends the first information to the first network device.

[0209] The first request is used to request energy consumption information.

[0210] In practical applications, the first request can be sent from a relevant network node of the second network device to the second network device. For example, the relevant network node sending the first request can be a neighboring station of the second network device.

[0211] Scenario 2: When the second network device uses the first preset model to make energy consumption-related decisions, it sends the first information to the first network device.

[0212] In practical applications, the first setting model can be an AI model or ML model used for energy consumption-related decisions. The first setting model can be deployed on a second network device or on related network devices of the second network device. For example, the first setting model can be used to: decide whether to shut down underutilized cells, or, after load balancing for high-load cells, assess whether it has a significant impact on overall energy efficiency.

[0213] The second network device can send first information to the first network device when it uses the first preset model to make energy-related decisions, and the decision-making process of the first preset model needs to be based on the energy consumption information collected by the first network device.

[0214] Scenario 3: When the second network device decides, based on the second setting model, to perform a handover related to the first network device for the third terminal, it sends the first information to the first network device.

[0215] In practical applications, the second setting model can be an AI model or an ML model used to decide whether to perform a handover related to the first network device for a third terminal. The second setting model can be the same model as the first setting model. The second setting model can be deployed on the second network device or on related network devices of the second network device.

[0216] In practical applications, the handover related to the first network device can be understood as: the terminal switching from one first network device to another first network device. For example, it can refer to inter-DU handover.

[0217] In practical applications, the second network device can send the first information to the first network device when the second set model determines that the third terminal is performing a handover related to the first network device.

[0218] In practical applications, the first network device can report the collected energy consumption information to the second network device based on the first information.

[0219] Corresponding to scenario 1 above, after receiving the energy consumption information, the second network device can return the energy consumption information to the network device that sent the first request.

[0220] Corresponding to scenario 2 above, after receiving energy consumption information, the second network device can use the first preset model to make energy consumption-related decisions or further train the first preset model based on the energy consumption information. If the first preset model is deployed on a network device associated with the second network device, the second network device can return the energy consumption information to the network device that has deployed the first preset model, so that the first preset model can be used to make energy consumption-related decisions or further train the first preset model.

[0221] Corresponding to scenario 3 above, after receiving the energy consumption information, the second network device can determine the change in energy consumption information before and after the handover to the third terminal, and then judge whether the decision made by the second setting model is feasible. For example, if the change in energy consumption information before and after the handover is less than a set threshold, the decision made by the second setting model can be considered feasible.

[0222] In one embodiment, the information processing method provided in this application further includes:

[0223] Receive the second information reported by the first network device; wherein,

[0224] The second information represents information related to energy consumption values ​​collected by the first network device within one of a series of time windows.

[0225] In practical applications, the first network device can report one or more pieces of second information to the second network device based on the first information. Each piece of second information can represent the energy consumption value-related information collected by the first network device within one or more time windows. The reporting time corresponding to each piece of second information can be different.

[0226] In one embodiment, the second information includes one or more of the following:

[0227] The first energy consumption value or the first energy consumption index value, the first energy consumption value represents the average energy consumption value corresponding to the energy consumption value collected by the first network device within a time window, and the first energy consumption index value represents the energy consumption index value mapped by the first energy consumption value.

[0228] The third information is used to indicate one or more cells corresponding to the first energy consumption value or the first energy consumption index value.

[0229] The number of first terminals, where a first terminal represents the number of terminals served by the first network device within a time window;

[0230] The second duration represents the duration during which the first network device serves the second terminal within a time window, and the second terminal represents a terminal that moves into and / or out of the service range of the first network device within a time window.

[0231] The fourth information indicates whether the first network device and / or the terminal served by the first network device are in an energy-saving state, or whether the first network device and / or the terminal served by the first network device have applied energy-saving technology.

[0232] In practical applications, the first network device can measure one or more energy consumption values ​​within a time window.

[0233] When the first indication is used to indicate the reporting of energy consumption values, the second information may include the first energy consumption value, which may be the average of one or more energy consumption values ​​measured by the first network device within the time window.

[0234] When the first instruction is used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values, the second information may include the first energy consumption index value. The first energy consumption index value can be obtained by mapping the first energy consumption value based on the first mapping relationship.

[0235] When the first instruction is used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values, the second information may further include a first energy consumption index sub-value, which represents a subdivided value corresponding to the first energy consumption index value. The first energy consumption index sub-value and the first energy consumption index value can together form a subdivided energy consumption index value. The first energy consumption index sub-value can be obtained by processing the first energy consumption value based on the first configuration information.

[0236] In practical applications, the first network device can measure one or more cells within a time window to obtain one or more energy consumption values. Here, the third information is used to indicate one or more cells corresponding to the first energy consumption value or the first energy consumption index value; it can also be understood as the third information being used to indicate one or more cells being measured.

[0237] In practical applications, the third information can be represented as a list of cell identifiers, where each item in the list represents the identifier of a cell being measured.

[0238] In practical applications, a second terminal can represent a first terminal that moves into and / or out of the service range of a first network device within a time window. The second information may include multiple second durations, each corresponding to a second terminal.

[0239] In one embodiment, the information processing method provided in this application further includes:

[0240] Sending a second energy consumption index value to a third network device; the second energy consumption index value is mapped from a second energy consumption value; the second energy consumption value is determined based on a first energy consumption value in one or more pieces of second information; and / or,

[0241] Send a third energy consumption index value to a third network device; the third energy consumption index value is determined based on a first energy consumption index value in one or more second pieces of information.

[0242] In practical applications, the third network device can be understood as a network device that requests energy consumption information from the second network device. For example, the third network device can be the network device that sends the first request, or it can be a network device that has deployed a first set model.

[0243] In practical applications, a second network device can send first information to one or more first network devices, where a first indication in the first information is used to indicate the reporting of energy consumption values. In this case, the second network device can receive one or more second information reports from these first network devices, determine a second energy consumption value based on the first energy consumption values ​​in the second information, and then map the second energy consumption value to a second energy consumption index value. For example, the second energy consumption value can represent the sum of the first energy consumption values ​​in one or more second information reports.

[0244] For example, when a second network device sends a first message to five first network devices, and the first indication in the first message is used to indicate the reporting of energy consumption values, assuming that the energy consumption values ​​measured by these first network devices based on the first message are all 1.2, then the second network device can receive five second messages, and the energy consumption values ​​in the second messages are all 1.2. The second network device can determine the second energy consumption value as 6 based on the first energy consumption value in these second messages. Assuming that the energy consumption value can be rounded down to obtain the corresponding energy consumption index value, then the second network device can determine the second energy consumption index value as 6.

[0245] In practical applications, a second network device may also send first information to one or more first network devices, where a first indication is used to instruct the reporting of energy consumption index values. In this case, the second network device may receive one or more second information messages reported by these first network devices and determine a third energy consumption index value based on the first energy consumption index values ​​in these second information messages. For example, the third energy consumption value may represent the sum of the first energy consumption index values ​​in one or more second information messages.

[0246] For example, when a second network device sends a first message to five first network devices, and the first indication in the first message is used to indicate the reporting of energy consumption index values, assuming that the energy consumption values ​​measured by these first network devices based on the first message are all 1.2, and the corresponding energy consumption index value can be obtained by rounding down the energy consumption value, then the second network device can receive five second messages, and the energy consumption index values ​​in the second messages are all 1. Then, the second network device can determine the third energy consumption index value as 5 based on the first energy consumption index values ​​in these second messages.

[0247] In one embodiment, the information processing method provided in this application further includes:

[0248] Receive the fifth message sent by the first network device; the fifth message is used to instruct the first network device not to report energy consumption information before the first time.

[0249] In practical applications, if the first network device cannot report energy consumption information in the first instance, it can send the fifth message to the second network device.

[0250] In one embodiment, the fifth information further includes one or more of the following:

[0251] The first time window represents the time period during which the first network device collects energy consumption information.

[0252] The fourth time, which represents the latest time when the first network device reports energy consumption information;

[0253] The sixth piece of information indicates the reason why the first network device did not report energy consumption information in the first instance.

[0254] In practical applications, the second network device can determine the time period during which the first network device can collect energy consumption information based on the first time window. The second network device can determine the latest time at which the first network device can report energy consumption information based on a fourth time, where the fourth time is later than the end time of the first time window.

[0255] Here, the sixth piece of information represents the reason why the first network device does not report energy consumption information in the first time. For example, the sixth piece of information may include: the load is too high and there are no spare measurement resources.

[0256] In practical applications, when the second network device decides to perform a handover related to the first network device for the third terminal based on the second setting model, it can send first information to the first network device to obtain the energy consumption information reported by the first network device, and then determine the change in energy consumption information before and after performing the handover for the third terminal, so as to judge whether the decision of the second setting model is feasible.

[0257] The first network device can be characterized as either the source network device or the target network device for the handover performed by the second network device on the third terminal. The first network device can, based on the first information, collect and / or report energy consumption information before the handover by the third terminal, and / or collect and / or report energy consumption information after the handover by the third terminal.

[0258] In one embodiment, the first information further includes one or more of the following:

[0259] The fifth time represents the time when the third terminal performs a handover related to the first network device;

[0260] The sixth time is used to indicate the latest time for the first network device to report energy consumption information after the third terminal performs a handover related to the first network device.

[0261] One or more time windows include: a second time window and / or a third time window; wherein,

[0262] The second time window indicates that the end time of the time period is earlier than the fifth time window;

[0263] The start time of the time period indicated by the third time window is later than the fifth time period, and / or the end time of the time period indicated by the third time window is earlier than the sixth time period.

[0264] In practical applications, the fifth time can also be understood as: the latest time to report the energy consumption information collected by the first network device before the third terminal performs the handover related to the first network device.

[0265] The sixth time can be understood as: the latest time to report the energy consumption information collected by the first network device after the third terminal performs the handover related to the first network device.

[0266] The second time window can be understood as the period of time during which the first network device collects energy consumption information before the third terminal performs a handover related to the first network device.

[0267] The third time window can be understood as the period of time during which the first network device collects energy consumption information after the third terminal performs a handover related to the first network device.

[0268] In practical applications, the first network device can collect energy consumption information within a second time window based on the first information, and report the energy consumption information collected within the second time window before the fifth time. The first network device can also collect energy consumption information within a third time window based on the first information, and report the energy consumption information collected within the third time window before the sixth time.

[0269] In practical applications, the second network device can determine the change in energy consumption information before and after the third terminal performs the handover based on the energy consumption information reported by the first network device, and then judge whether the decision of the second set model is feasible.

[0270] In this embodiment, the second network device sends first information to the first network device. The first information instructs the first network device to collect and / or report energy consumption information. The first information includes one or more of the following: a first instruction, and one or more time windows. Here, the first instruction instructs the first network device to report energy consumption values ​​or energy consumption index values; the time window indicates the time period for the first network device to collect energy consumption information. Based on this, the first network device can report energy consumption values ​​to the second network device based on the first instruction in the first information, and / or collect energy consumption information based on the time period indicated by the time window in the first information. This allows different first network devices to collect energy consumption information within a unified time period. Compared to related technologies, the first network device can report more accurate energy consumption values ​​and / or a unified energy consumption collection time, thereby improving the accuracy of the reported energy consumption information and further improving the accuracy of the energy consumption information statistically obtained by the second network device.
