Each base station has a plurality of public land mobile network (Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN) identification functions, which can be used to distinguish user terminals of different operators in the same cell.

The energy saving control device comprises a processor 21, a memory 22, a communication interface 23 and a bus 24. The processor 21, the memory 22 and the communication interface 23 may be connected by a bus 24.

The processor 21 is a control center of the energy saving control device, and may be one processor or a collective term of a plurality of processing elements. For example, the processor 21 may be a general-purpose central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU), or may be another general-purpose processor.

In a possible implementation, the memory 22 may exist separately from the processor 21, and the memory 22 may be connected to the processor 21 by a bus 24 for storing instructions or program code. The processor 21, when calling and executing instructions or program code stored in the memory 22, is capable of implementing the energy saving control method provided in the embodiments described below.

In the embodiment of the present application, the software programs stored in the memory 22 are different for the management platform 101, the target base station 102, and the plurality of neighboring base stations 103, so that the functions achieved by the management platform 101, the target base station 102, and the plurality of neighboring base stations 103 are different. The functions performed with respect to the respective devices will be described in connection with the following flowcharts.

It should be noted that the structure shown in fig. 3 (or fig. 4) does not constitute a limitation of the energy saving control device, and the energy saving control device may include more or less components than those shown in fig. 3 (or fig. 4), or may combine some components, or may be arranged in different components.

The energy-saving control method provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 5, the energy saving control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to the energy saving control shown in fig. 1. The energy-saving control method comprises the following steps:

s501, the target base station acquires network load information of a plurality of adjacent base stations and network load information of the target base station.

Wherein the plurality of adjacent base stations are a plurality of base stations adjacent to the target base station; the plurality of neighboring base stations includes: adjacent base stations under multiple network systems, and/or adjacent base stations under multiple operators.

In one implementation manner, the neighboring base stations in the multiple network systems may include a base station in a third generation mobile communication technology (3th Generation Mobile Communication Technology,3G) network, a base station in a fourth generation mobile communication technology (4th Generation Mobile Communication Technology,4G) network, and a base station in a 5G network, which is not limited in this application.

The network load information may be the load capability of the target base station, such as the number of signaling interactions, the success rate of RRC establishment, the number of connections of the user, the cell traffic, the number of RRC connection users, the uplink and downlink PRB utilization, etc.

In one implementation manner, the method for the target base station to acquire network load information of a plurality of neighboring base stations specifically includes:

when the plurality of adjacent base stations are 4G base stations, the target base station acquires network load information of the plurality of adjacent base stations based on the X2 interface.

Specifically, the X2 interface is a communication interface between 4G base stations (enodebs). The signaling interactions between the 4G base stations may employ the X2 protocol. The X2 interface functions may communicate in accordance with 3GPP TS 36.423V10.4 protocol defined load management functions. The 3GPP protocol described above allows the enodebs to notify each other of the resource status, indicating overload conditions as well as transmission load.

In the general technology, between 4G base stations under a non-identical carrier (e.g., 4G base station under carrier 1 and 4G base station under carrier 2), since the inter-network protocol (Internet Protocol, IP) address is not opened between the base stations, there is no X2 link between the 4G base stations under the non-identical carrier. In this case, communication between 4G base stations under different operators may be caused to be performed only through the communication interface (S1) between packet core networks. Thus, the interaction information between the 4G base stations under the different operators needs to cross the core network, and the switching time delay is larger.

In this application, when the plurality of neighboring base stations are 4G base stations, the target base station may acquire network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations based on the X2 interface function when acquiring the network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations. The X2 interface between the base stations is used for carrying out signaling interaction, so that the time for requesting and issuing commands between the base stations and the network manager can be shortened, and the energy-saving control efficiency is improved.

In practical applications, 4G base stations under non-identical operators are typically in a mobility management entity pool (Mobility Management Entity pool, MME pool). With the evolution and development of communication technology, the 4G base station under the different operators may not be in a mobility management entity pool, which is not limited in the application.

When the plurality of adjacent base stations are 5G base stations, the target base station acquires network load information of the plurality of adjacent base stations based on the Xn interface.

Specifically, the Xn interface is a communication interface between 5G base stations (gndeb). The signaling interactions between 5G base stations may employ an Xn protocol. The Xn interface functions similarly to the function of the X2 interface.

In the general technology, between 5G base stations under a non-identical carrier (for example, a 5G base station under carrier 1 and a 5G base station under carrier 2), since IP addresses between the base stations are not open, there is no Xn link between the 5G base stations under the non-identical carrier. In this case, communication between 5G base stations under different operators may be caused to be performed only through the communication interface (S1) between packet core networks. Thus, the interaction information between the 5G base stations under the different operators needs to cross the core network, and the switching time delay is larger.

In this application, when the plurality of neighboring base stations are 5G base stations, the target base station may acquire network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations based on an Xn interface function when acquiring the network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations. The Xn interface between the base stations is used for carrying out signaling interaction, so that the time for requesting and issuing commands between the base stations and the network manager can be shortened, and the energy-saving control efficiency is improved.

In practical applications, 5G base stations under non-identical operators are typically in one core network area. With the evolution and development of communication technology, the 5G base station under the different operators may not be in a core network area, which is not limited in the application.

When the plurality of adjacent base stations are different from the operation main body of the target base station, the target base station acquires network load information of the plurality of adjacent base stations based on the target interface.

The target interface is a communication interface between base stations under different operation subjects, and an interconnection interface between the base stations supports direct transmission of data and signaling. The base station bears more radio resource management tasks and can directly talk with the adjacent base station, thereby ensuring the seamless switching of users in the whole network.

Specifically, the present application defines that the target interface is a communication interface between base stations of different operators (e.g., different operators, different network systems, etc.). Signaling interactions between base stations of different operators may employ a target protocol. The function of the target interface is similar to that of the X2 interface and the Xn interface.

In the general technology, between base stations of different operators (e.g., a 4G base station under operator 1 and a 5G base station under operator 2), since IP addresses between the base stations are not opened, there is no communication link between the base stations of different operators. In this case, communication may be performed between base stations of different operators only through the communication interface (S1) between the packet core networks. Thus, the interaction information among the base stations of different operation main bodies needs to cross the core network, and the switching time delay is larger.

In this application, when the operation subjects of the plurality of neighboring base stations are different from the operation subject of the target base station, the target base station may acquire the network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations based on the target interface function when acquiring the network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations. The signaling interaction is carried out through the target interface between the base stations, so that the time for requesting and issuing commands between the base stations and the network manager can be shortened, and the energy-saving control efficiency is improved.

S502, the target base station determines working states of the plurality of adjacent base stations.

Wherein the operating state includes a fault state and a non-fault state.

S503, the target base station determines the energy-saving state of the target base station according to the network load information of the target base station, the network load information of the plurality of adjacent base stations and the working states of the plurality of adjacent base stations.

Wherein, the energy-saving state includes: a sleep state and an awake state.

Specifically, after network load information of a plurality of adjacent base stations and network load information of a target base station and working states of the plurality of adjacent base stations are acquired, the target base station determines an energy-saving state of the target base station according to the network load information of the target base station, the network load information of the plurality of adjacent base stations and the working states of the plurality of adjacent base stations.

Therefore, through the network load information of the target base station, the network load information of the plurality of adjacent base stations and the working states of the plurality of adjacent base stations, whether the adjacent base stations can bear the network load of the target base station in the wake-up state or not can be accurately determined when the target base station enters the sleep state, the technical problem that the network performance is poor due to unreasonable setting of the existing energy-saving control method is avoided, and reasonable energy-saving control is realized.

In one implementation manner, before the target base station determines the priority of each neighboring base station according to the network load information of the target base station, the network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations, and the working states of the plurality of neighboring base stations, the neighboring base stations whose priorities meet the preset condition are determined as the target neighboring base stations.

In this case, the energy saving control method further includes:

when the plurality of adjacent base stations include the base station having the same network system as the target base station, the target base station determines the base station having the same network system as the target base station as the target adjacent base station.

Specifically, when the plurality of adjacent base stations include the base stations in the same network system as the target base station, the priority of the base stations in the same network system is higher than the priority of the base stations in different network systems. In this case, the target base station determines a base station of the same network system as the target base station as a target neighboring base station.

Illustratively, the plurality of neighboring base stations includes 5G base station 1 and 4G base station 1. When the target base station is a 5G base station, the target base station determines the 5G base station 1 as a target neighboring base station.

When the plurality of adjacent base stations do not include the base station having the same network system as the target base station, the target base station determines the base station having a network system different from that of the target base station as the target adjacent base station.

Specifically, when the plurality of adjacent base stations do not include the base stations of the same network system as the target base station, the priority of the base stations of different network systems is higher than the priority of the base stations other than the base stations of the same network system. In this case, the target base station determines a base station having a network system different from that of the target base station as a target neighboring base station.

Illustratively, the plurality of neighboring base stations includes a 4G base station 1, and the non-neighboring base stations include a 5G base station 1 therein. When the target base station is a 5G base station, although the network system of the 5G base station 1 and the target base station is the same, the 5G base station 1 and the target base station are not adjacent. In this case, the target base station determines the 4G base station 1 as the target neighboring base station.

In still another implementation manner, when the target base station determines the priority of each neighboring base station and determines the neighboring base station whose priority meets the preset condition as the target neighboring base station, the energy-saving control method further includes:

The target base station acquires position information of a plurality of adjacent base stations.

Specifically, the target base station may extract latitude and longitude information of each base station from (Measurement Report, MR) data of each neighboring base station, and obtain location information of a plurality of neighboring base stations according to a preset positioning method.

Optionally, the positioning method may include: TA value method, triangulation method, and the like, which are not limited in this application.

And the target base station determines the priority of the plurality of adjacent base stations according to the position information and the network load information of the plurality of adjacent base stations.

Specifically, after the location information of the plurality of neighboring base stations is acquired, the target base station may determine priorities of the plurality of neighboring base stations according to the location information and the network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations.

In one implementation, when the network load information of a certain neighboring base station satisfies the preset load condition and the neighboring base station is closest to the target base station, the target base station may determine the priority of the base station as the highest priority.

In still another implementation manner, when the network load information of a certain neighboring base station satisfies a preset load condition and the network system of the neighboring base station is the same as that of the target base station, the target base station may determine the priority of the base station as the highest priority.

Alternatively, the target base station may determine the priorities of multiple neighboring base stations in other manners, which is not limited in this application.

When the plurality of adjacent base stations comprise base stations with the same network system as the target base station, the target base station determines the base stations with the priority higher than the preset level as the target adjacent base stations in the base stations with the same network system as the target base station.

The target base station is illustratively a 5G base station. The plurality of neighboring base stations includes 5G base station 1, 5G base station 2, and 5G base station 3. The target base station determines the priorities of the 5G base station 1, the 5G base station 2 and the 5G base station 3 according to the position information and the network load information of the 5G base station 1, the 5G base station 2 and the 5G base station 3 as follows: first-order: 5G base station 1, second order: 5G base station 2 and three stages: 5G base station 3.

When the preset level is the second level, the target base station determines the 5G base station 3 with the priority higher than the second level among the 5G base station 1, the 5G base station 2 and the 5G base station 3 as the target adjacent base station.

When the plurality of adjacent base stations do not include the base stations with the same network system as the target base station, the target base station determines the base stations with the priority higher than the preset level as the target adjacent base stations in the base stations with different network systems from the target base station.

The target base station is illustratively a 5G base station. The plurality of neighboring base stations includes a 4G base station 1, a 4G base station 2, and a 4G base station 3. The target base station determines the priorities of the 4G base station 1, the 4G base station 2 and the 4G base station 3 according to the position information and the network load information of the 4G base station 1, the 4G base station 2 and the 4G base station 3 as follows: first-order: 4G base station 1, second order: 4G base station 2 and three stages: 4G base station 3.

When the preset level is the second level, the target base station determines the 4G base station 3 with the priority higher than the second level among the 4G base station 1, the 4G base station 2 and the 4G base station 3 as the target adjacent base station.

In one implementation manner, in S503, the method for the target base station to determine the network load information of the target base station, the network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations, and the working states of the plurality of neighboring base stations specifically includes:

and when the network load information of the target base station meets the first load condition, the target base station sends an energy-saving sharing request message to the target adjacent base station.

Specifically, the target base station may directly communicate with the target neighboring base station according to the network load information of the target base station, the network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations, and the operating states of the plurality of neighboring base stations.

In this case, when the network load information of the target base station satisfies the first load condition, the target base station may directly transmit the energy saving sharing request message to the target neighbor base station.

In some embodiments, the target base station may be preset with a power save period. When the current time meets the energy-saving period of the target base station, the target base station can judge whether the network load information of the target base station meets the first load condition. When the network load information of the target base station meets the first load condition, the target base station can directly send an energy-saving sharing request message to the target adjacent base station.

The first load condition may be that the network load information of the target base station is less than or equal to a first threshold.

The first threshold may be a correlation threshold corresponding to network load information.

For example, when the network load information is the number of signaling interactions, the first threshold may be a threshold of the number of signaling interactions.

When the network load information is a success rate of RRC establishment, the first threshold may be a threshold of the success rate of RRC establishment.

When the network load information is the number of connections of the user, the first threshold may be a threshold of the number of connections of the user.

When the network load information is cell traffic, the first threshold may be a threshold of cell traffic.

When the network load information is the number of RRC connected users, the first threshold may be a threshold of the number of RRC connected users.

When the network load information is the uplink and downlink PRB utilization, the first threshold may be a threshold of the uplink and downlink PRB utilization.

And the target base station responds to the energy-saving sharing confirmation message sent by the target adjacent base station, and determines the energy-saving state of the target base station to be the dormant state.

The energy-saving sharing confirmation message is sent when the network load information of the target adjacent base station does not meet the second load condition and the target adjacent base station is in a non-fault state.

Alternatively, the second load condition may be that the network load information of the target neighboring base station is less than or equal to the first threshold value, or that the network load information of the target neighboring base station is greater than or equal to the second threshold value. The second threshold is greater than the first threshold.

For example, preset K1 is network load information of the target base station, K2 is network load information of the target neighboring base station, N is a first threshold, and M is a second threshold.

And under the condition that K1 is less than or equal to N, the target base station can directly send the energy-saving sharing request message to the target adjacent base station.

And under the condition that N is less than or equal to K2 and less than or equal to M and the target adjacent base station is in a non-fault state, the target adjacent base station sends an energy-saving sharing confirmation message to the target base station.

Specifically, when the network load information of the target adjacent base station does not meet the second load condition and the target adjacent base station is in a non-fault state, it is indicated that the target adjacent base station can share the network load information of the target base station in the non-fault state. In this case, the target neighbor base station may transmit a power save sharing acknowledgement message to the target base station. Correspondingly, the target base station responds to the energy-saving sharing confirmation message sent by the target adjacent base station, and the energy-saving state of the target base station is determined to be a dormant state.

In some embodiments, when the current power saving state of the target base station is the sleep state, the target base station may determine that the power saving state of the target base station remains unchanged, i.e., remains in the sleep state.

Correspondingly, when the current energy-saving state of the target base station is the wake-up state, the target base station can switch the energy-saving state of the target base station to the sleep state.

Or the target base station responds to the energy-saving sharing failure message sent by the target adjacent base station, and determines the energy-saving state of the target base station to be an awakening state.

The energy-saving sharing failure message is sent when the network load information of the target adjacent base station meets a second load condition; or the energy-saving sharing confirmation message is sent when the target adjacent base station is in a fault state.

Specifically, when the network load information of the target adjacent base station meets the second load condition or the target adjacent base station is in a fault state, the target adjacent base station is indicated to be unable to share the network load information of the target base station. In this case, the target neighbor base station may transmit a power saving sharing failure message to the target base station. Correspondingly, the target base station responds to the energy-saving sharing failure message sent by the target adjacent base station, and the energy-saving state of the target base station is determined to be an awakening state.

In some embodiments, when the current power saving state of the target base station is the awake state, the target base station may determine that the power saving state of the target base station remains unchanged, i.e., remains in the awake state.

Correspondingly, when the current energy-saving state of the target base station is the dormant state, the target base station can switch the energy-saving state of the target base station to the wake-up state.

In one implementation manner, in S503, the target base station includes:

and receiving a prediction result sent by the management platform.

The prediction result is obtained by the management platform through energy-saving sharing prediction according to the network load information of the target base station and the network load information of a plurality of adjacent base stations.

Specifically, when the target base station receives the prediction result sent by the management platform according to the network load information of the target base station, the network load information of the plurality of adjacent base stations and the working states of the plurality of adjacent base stations, the target base station can determine the energy-saving state of the target base station according to the prediction result.

In some embodiments, the management platform may obtain the network load information of the target base station and the network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations, and perform energy-saving sharing prediction according to the network load information of the target base station and the network load information of the plurality of neighboring base stations to obtain a prediction result.

Optionally, the management platform may use a deep bidirectional RNN algorithm to perform energy-saving sharing prediction, may use an LSTM algorithm to perform energy-saving sharing prediction, and may further use other neural network algorithms to perform energy-saving sharing prediction.

The prediction process of the neural network algorithm may refer to the description of the neural network algorithm by using a general technology, which is not described herein.

In some embodiments, the management platform may further finely predict a split scene according to the information such as the energy saving period, the threshold value, the timer and the like set by the target base station, for example, a scene with fast speed and sudden load change.

And when the predicted result is used for indicating that the network load information of the target base station meets the first load condition, the network load information of the target adjacent base station does not meet the second load condition, and the target adjacent base station is in a non-fault state, determining that the energy-saving state of the target base station is in a dormant state.

Specifically, when the prediction result is used for indicating that the network load information of the target base station meets the first load condition, the network load information of the target adjacent base station does not meet the second load condition, and the target adjacent base station is in a non-fault state, it is indicated that the target adjacent base station can share the network load information of the target base station in the non-fault state. In this case, the target base station may determine that the power saving state of the target base station is determined to be the sleep state.

Specifically, when the prediction result is used for indicating that the network load information of the target base station meets the first load condition, the network load information of the target adjacent base station and the second load condition, or the target adjacent base station is in a fault state, it is indicated that the target adjacent base station cannot share the network load information of the target base station. In this case, the target base station may determine that the power saving state of the target base station is determined to be the awake state.

In one example that may be implemented, fig. 6 shows a flow diagram of a method of energy saving control based on the same network system. And the 4G base stations realize information interaction between the 4G base stations based on an X2 interface. And the 5G base stations realize information interaction between the 5G base stations based on an Xn interface.

Specifically, the terminal in the cell covered by each base station can determine the accessed base station according to the supporting condition of the frequency band.

The OMC may send energy saving configuration information to each base station (e.g., 4G base station 1 of operator 1, and 5G base station 1 of operator 1).

In one implementation manner, after receiving the energy-saving configuration information, the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 may perform energy-saving determination at a time corresponding to the energy-saving configuration information (for example, whether the network load information of the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 meets the first load condition), and if it is determined that energy saving is possible, send a sleep request to the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2. The 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 may then send a received message to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

The 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 may then send threshold information to the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2, which threshold information is used to determine whether the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 may accept traffic of the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

The 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 may then determine a reply success/failure response based on its own network load information.

When the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 determines that the own network load information does not satisfy the second load condition, a threshold-satisfying response message may be transmitted to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Accordingly, when the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 determines that the own network load information satisfies the second load condition, a non-satisfaction threshold response message may be transmitted to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

In the case where the 5G base station 2 of the carrier 2 transmits the satisfaction threshold response message to the 5G base station 1 of the carrier 1, the 5G base station 1 of the carrier 1 may transmit the status notification to the 5G base station 2 of the carrier 2 and start to sleep.

The status notification includes information such as a fault query.

Next, the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 replies to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 with the request success information.

Subsequently, when the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 needs to be woken up by energy saving, there are 2 ways:

in the first mode, the OMC based on AI training can collect network load information of adjacent base stations and predict load difference. When the neighboring base station cannot carry the network load information of the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1, an energy-saving wake-up request may be sent to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Next, the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 transmits a wake-up success message to the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2.

Next, the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 transmits a received message to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Mode two: the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 may collect its own network load information, and may send an energy-saving wake-up request to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 when the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 cannot carry the network load information of the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Next, the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 transmits a power saving wake-up request to the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2.

The 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 may then send a power saving wake up request to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

The 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 may reply to the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 with a success response message or with a failure response message.

The 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 may then send threshold information to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

The 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 may then determine a reply success/failure response, i.e. a threshold response is met or not met, based on its own network load information.

In yet another implementation manner, after receiving the energy-saving configuration information, the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 may perform energy-saving determination at a time corresponding to the energy-saving configuration information (for example, whether the network load information of the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 meets the first load condition), and if it is determined that energy saving is possible, send a sleep request to the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2.

The 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 may then send a received message to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

The 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 may then send threshold information to the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2, which threshold information is used to determine whether the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 may accept traffic of the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

The 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 may then determine a reply success/failure response based on its own network load information.

When the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 determines that the own network load information does not satisfy the second load condition, a threshold-satisfying response message may be transmitted to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Accordingly, when the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 determines that the own network load information satisfies the second load condition, a non-satisfaction threshold response message may be transmitted to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

In the case where the 4G base station 2 of the carrier 2 transmits the satisfaction threshold response message to the 4G base station 1 of the carrier 1, the 4G base station 1 of the carrier 1 may transmit the status notification to the 4G base station 2 of the carrier 2 and start to sleep.

Next, the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 replies to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 with the request success information.

Subsequently, when the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 needs to be woken up by energy saving, there are 2 ways:

in the first mode, the OMC based on AI training can collect network load information of adjacent base stations and predict load difference. When the neighboring base station cannot carry the network load information of the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1, a power saving wake-up request may be sent to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Next, the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 transmits a wake-up success message to the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2.

Next, the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 transmits a received message to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Mode two: the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 may collect its own network load information, and may send an energy-saving wake-up request to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 when the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 cannot carry the network load information of the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Next, the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 transmits a power saving wake-up request to the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2.

The 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 may then send a power saving wake up request to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

The 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 may reply to the 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 with a success response message or with a failure response message.

The 4G base station 2 of the operator 2 may then send threshold information to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

The 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 may then determine a reply success/failure response, i.e. a threshold response is met or not met, based on its own network load information.

In one example that may be implemented, fig. 7 shows a schematic flow chart of a method for energy saving control based on different network systems. And the 4G base stations realize information interaction between the 4G base stations based on an X2 interface. And the 5G base stations realize information interaction between the 5G base stations based on an Xn interface.

After receiving the energy-saving configuration information, the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 may perform energy-saving determination at a time corresponding to the energy-saving configuration information (for example, whether the network load information of the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 meets the first load condition), and if it is determined that energy saving is possible, send a sleep request to the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2.

The 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 may then send a received message to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

In case the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 sends a non-satisfaction threshold response message to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1, the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 may send an application sleep request to the OMC.

Next, the OMC performs a prediction result obtained by energy-saving sharing prediction based on the network load information of the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 and the network load information of a plurality of adjacent base stations adjacent to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Assuming that the network load information of the 4G cell 1 of the operator 1 does not meet the second load condition as a result of the prediction, the OMC may send a notification message to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1, the notification message being used to notify the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 that the network load information of the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 is carried.

The 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 may then send request success information to the OMC.

The OMC may then send a sleep success response message to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Subsequently, when the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 needs to be awakened by energy saving, the OMC based on AI training can collect network load information of the adjacent base stations and predict load differences. When the neighboring base station cannot carry the network load information of the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1, an energy-saving wake-up request may be sent to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Next, the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 transmits a wakeup success message or a wakeup failure message to the OMC.

The OMC may then send threshold information to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

The 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 may then determine a reply success/failure response based on its own network load information.

When the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 determines that the own network load information does not satisfy the second load condition, a threshold-satisfying response message may be transmitted to the OMC.

Accordingly, when the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 determines that the network load information of itself satisfies the second load condition, a response message that does not satisfy the threshold may be sent to the OMC.

In one example that may be implemented, fig. 8 shows a flow diagram of a method of energy saving control based on different network formats. And the 4G base stations realize information interaction between the 4G base stations based on an X2 interface. And the 5G base stations realize information interaction between the 5G base stations based on an Xn interface. And information interaction among the base stations is realized based on the target interfaces among the base stations corresponding to different operation subjects.

In the case where the 5G base station 2 of the operator 2 transmits the unsatisfied threshold response message to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1, the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 may transmit the sleep request application to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Next, the 4G base station 1 of the carrier 1 determines whether to carry the network load information of the 5G base station 1 of the carrier 1 according to the network load information of itself.

When the 4G base station 1 of the carrier 1 determines network load information capable of carrying the 5G base station 1 of the carrier 1 according to the network load information thereof, the 4G base station 1 of the carrier 1 transmits a response message satisfying the threshold to the 5G base station 1 of the carrier 1.

Accordingly, when the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 determines that the network load information of the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 cannot be carried according to the network load information of the 4G base station 1, the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 sends a response message that does not meet the threshold to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Subsequently, when the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 needs to be awakened by energy saving, the OMC based on AI training can collect network load information of the adjacent base stations and predict load differences. When the neighboring base station cannot carry the network load information of the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1, an energy-saving wake-up request may be sent to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Next, the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 transmits a power saving wake-up request to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Next, the 5G base station 1 of the carrier 1 transmits a wake-up success message or a wake-up failure message to the 4G base station 1 of the carrier 1.

The 5G base station 1 of the operator 1 may then send threshold information to the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1.

The 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 may then determine a reply success/failure response based on its own network load information.

When the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 determines that the own network load information does not satisfy the second load condition, a threshold-satisfying response message may be transmitted to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.

Accordingly, when the 4G base station 1 of the operator 1 determines that the own network load information satisfies the second load condition, a non-satisfaction threshold response message may be transmitted to the 5G base station 1 of the operator 1.
