Description

Energy-saving method and device for base station of mobile communication system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for saving energy in a base station in a mobile communication system.
Background
From the energy consumption distribution of the mobile communication network system, in the whole mobile network, the energy consumption of the base station facility is the largest and accounts for 90%, and other facilities including the core network facility and the network management equipment only account for less than 10%. In the energy consumption of the base station facility, the base station main equipment accounts for about 50%, and the heat dissipation equipment such as a machine room air conditioner accounts for about 45%.
In order to reduce energy consumption, a green mobile communication network is established, and the technology is mainly considered from the following three aspects:
1. in the aspect of base station main equipment design, various new technologies such as a high-efficiency digital power amplifier and the like are applied, and new products such as a distributed base station, a large-capacity base station and the like are introduced; the method supports more flexible deployment, supports multiple systems, and improves the utilization rate of hardware facilities;
2. in the aspect of building a machine room, intelligent ventilation transformation is carried out on a base station, such as direct ventilation application, natural heat dissipation and other modes, and an integrated machine room is adopted, so that the requirements of the machine room on heat dissipation equipment are reduced;
3. in the aspect of energy application, the proportion of green clean energy such as solar energy, wind energy, methane and the like is improved.
Wherein, the energy-saving design of the base station main equipment and the key significance of the application are related. The energy consumption of the main equipment of the base station is effectively reduced, the dependence of the equipment on the machine room environment can be effectively reduced, and the load of a matched power supply and a machine room air conditioner is reduced to a great extent, so that the total energy consumption is more effectively reduced.
In the base station master equipment, most energy is used for a power amplifier of a key component of a base station transmitting unit, and how to reduce the energy consumption of the power amplifier and reduce the generation of heat as much as possible on the premise of ensuring the linear index of the power amplifier is the key for reducing the overall energy consumption of the equipment and saving energy.
In order to achieve the purpose of energy saving and consumption reduction, in the network management of the whole mobile communication, resource fine management needs to be adopted, for example, in a certain period (for example, between ten o 'clock at night and five o' clock in the morning), if users are few in some areas, on the premise that the basic communication requirements are met, part of carrier frequencies can be turned off, and therefore energy consumption is effectively reduced.
The development of the technology puts higher energy-saving requirements on the fine management of the mobile communication system. How to more finely manage the energy consumption of the base station equipment and reduce unnecessary energy consumption is an important task in system design and implementation in the future. As a new generation mobile communication system, an LTE (Long Term Evolution) system will be increasingly applied in the future, reducing the energy consumption of the LTE system, and having important significance for building a green mobile communication network.

Detailed Description
The embodiment of the invention provides a method and a device for realizing energy conservation and emission reduction by closing downlink symbols for an LTE (Long Term Evolution) system, so that when downlink subframes or time slots are not suitable to be closed, the energy consumption of a base station can be reduced by closing partial downlink symbols and closing corresponding radio frequency channels, and the purposes of energy conservation and emission reduction are achieved.
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for realizing energy conservation of a base station, which specifically comprises the following steps:
determining a downlink subframe service load value;
when the downlink subframe service load value is smaller than a downlink subframe service load threshold value, detecting the configuration of symbols in a downlink subframe;
determining a symbol closing time template according to the configuration of the symbols in the downlink subframe;
and closing the corresponding radio frequency channel according to the symbol closing time template.
When the cell load is relatively small, part of the downlink subframes have idle or carry OFDM symbols with small traffic, and the symbols carry no or little downlink traffic data. During the time period when the rf signal is not transmitted, the rf channel will still be in an operating state, in which case the consumed energy is not converted into a useful rf signal, but is consumed in a heat loss manner. Therefore, when the system actually operates and provides the mobile communication service, the base station can make the corresponding radio frequency channel enter a low energy consumption state or a closed state by using the closed part of the downlink symbols under the condition that the load of the downlink subframe is less than a certain threshold value, thereby reducing the energy consumption.
With the Quality of Service (QoS) guaranteed as a basic starting point, when a base station detects a downlink subframe traffic load value in real time during operation, the base station may start symbol-closing operation on a part of subframes when the downlink subframe traffic load value is smaller than a downlink subframe traffic load threshold value, or when the downlink subframe traffic load value is smaller than the downlink subframe traffic load threshold value within a certain period of time.
The measurement of the downlink subframe traffic load value may be implemented by monitoring the capacity index in real time, for example, monitoring the data amount in the downlink data Buffer (Buffer) in real time, or according to the statistical average data amount of the data amount in the downlink Buffer (the statistical period is an integral multiple of 10 ms).
The number of the closed symbols and the downlink sub-frame traffic load threshold value are related to the average data size that can be carried by one sub-frame,
the threshold value of the service load of the downlink subframe is equal to the average data quantity carried by the downlink subframe multiplied by gamma; where γ is the set load factor. The average data volume carried by the downlink sub-frame can be obtained according to the service statistical data.
If the downlink sub-frame service load value is less than the downlink sub-frame service load threshold value, the method for realizing energy saving by closing part of symbols can be started.
The third generation mobile communication system standardization organization (3GPP) specifies that the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system of the 3G radio interface technology supports 2 radio frame structures:
A. a first radio frame (hereinafter, referred to as Type1) suitable for Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system is shown in fig. 1, where:
the frame length of Type1 is 10ms, and is composed of 20 slots (slots), each of which has a length of 0.5ms, and is marked as #0 to #19 in fig. 1. Every two consecutive slots are defined as one Subframe (Subframe), for a total of 10 subframes, i.e.: subframe i consists of time slots 2i and 2i +1, where i ═ 0, 1, 2.
When Type1 is applied to FDD system, 10 subframes are available for uplink and downlink every 10ms since uplink and downlink of frequency division duplex system are separated in frequency domain.
B. The second Type of radio frame (hereinafter referred to as Type2) is only applicable to TDD systems, and its structure is shown in fig. 2, where:
the frame length of the wireless frame is 10ms, and each frame is divided into 2 half frames of 5 ms. Dividing each 5ms half frame into 8 conventional Time slots (slots) with the length of 0.5ms and 1 special Time Slot region with the length of 1ms, wherein the 1ms special Time Slot region consists of a Downlink Pilot Time Slot (DwPTS), a Guard Time Slot (GP) and an Uplink Pilot Time Slot (UpPTS); meanwhile, every two regular slot pairs constitute one sub-frame (Subframe), where sub-frame #0 and the downlink pilot slot are always used for downlink transmission, and the uplink pilot slot is always used for uplink transmission. The frame structure of the LTE-TDD system currently defines 7 configuration modes, as shown in table one:
watch I,
Wherein D represents a downlink normal subframe, U represents an uplink normal subframe, and S represents a special subframe. When the cell networking is planned, the downlink/uplink subframe proportion configuration of the cell is determined, and the downlink/uplink subframe proportion configuration is basically not changed subsequently.
When determining a downlink subframe in which a symbol can be turned off, the influence of a common channel, such as broadcasting, paging, etc., needs to be considered; the impact of uplink data scheduling needs to be considered; the impact on the uplink data HARQ response needs to be considered; and the impact of semi-persistent scheduling needs to be considered.
As shown in fig. 3, the minimum Resource unit used for transmission in the LTE system is a Resource Element (RE), and a Resource Block (RB) is formed by several Resource elements. The downlink physical channel corresponds to a set of resource elements for carrying information originating from a higher layer.
The PSCH (Primary Synchronization CHannel), SSCH (Secondary Synchronization CHannel), and PBCH (Physical Broadcast CHannel) among the downlink Physical channels belong to a cell-level CHannel, and their resource locations are determined as follows:
for FDD systems, the PSCH is located on the middle 72 subcarriers of the last OFDM symbol of slot 0 and slot 10; for a TDD system, the PSCH is located on the middle 72 subcarriers of the third OFDM symbol in subframe 1 and subframe 6.
For FDD systems, the SSCH is located on the middle 72 subcarriers of slot 0 and slot 10 penultimate OFDM symbols; for a TDD system, the SSCH is located on the middle 72 subcarriers of the first last OFDM symbol in slot 1 and slot 11.
The PBCH is located on the middle 72 subcarriers of the first four symbols of slot 1 of subframe 0.
Thus, for an FDD system, where subframe 0 and subframe 5 cannot implement closed subframes due to carrying broadcast channels and synchronization signals; for a TDD system, where subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 5, and subframe 6 also cannot implement a closed subframe due to carrying a broadcast channel or a synchronization signal, subframe 2 is always set as an uplink subframe and also cannot be set as a closed downlink subframe. When the subframes for executing the symbol closing operation are determined, the subframes can adopt a symbol closing mode, and the purposes of energy saving and consumption reduction are achieved. For other subframes which can be closed, when part of the service is carried, the method of closing the symbol can be adopted to achieve the purpose of energy saving and consumption reduction.
In the LTE system, the downlink control channel includes: a PCFICH (Physical Control format indicator CHannel), a PHICH (Physical Hybrid arq indicator CHannel), and a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control CHannel).
The PCFICH carries information on the number of OFDM symbols (1, 2, 3, or 4) used for transmitting the PDCCH in one subframe. The PCFICH is transmitted in the first symbol of a downlink subframe; UE is inThe duration span of the DCI (measured in terms of the number of OFDM symbols) must be determined before the control information is demodulated. The system indicates the number of OFDM symbols occupied by the PDCCH by cfi (control Format indicator) 1, 2, and 3. In thatThe DCI may span 1, 2, or 3 in duration, as characterized by the value of the CFI. In thatThe duration span of DCI may be from 2 OFDM symbols to 4 OFDM symbols, which is characterized by CFI + 1. When the number of symbols occupied by the PDCCH is greater than 0, the PCFICH exists. The 2-bit information of the PCFICH is encoded into 32 bits, QPSK modulation is adopted, the PCFICH maps 4 resource element groups (REGs, i.e. 4 continuous physical resource elements) which are not used as reference symbols in the first OFDM symbol in the downlink subframe, and the 4 REGs for mapping the PCFICH are distributed on the whole system bandwidth at equal intervals.
The PHICH contains ACK/NACK feedback information corresponding to a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel). A plurality of PHICHs are mapped to the same resource element to form a PHICH group, which is mapped to physical resource elements not used for transmission of a reference signal and a PCFICH.
The PDCCH carries scheduling and other control information, which mainly include UL-SCH (Uplink Shared CHannel), DL-SCH (Downlink Shared CHannel) allocation information, and TPC (Transmit power control) information of the PUCCH and PUSCH, respectively. The PDCCH occupies the first N OFDM symbols of the subframe, and the value of N may be 1, 2, 3, or 4.
In principle, the operation of turning off the symbol can be performed as long as there is a downlink subframe of an idle symbol. For the sub-frame which does not reach the full load of the data bearing of the corresponding sub-frame, the data borne by part of the symbols can be transferred to other downlink sub-frames for bearing through scheduling, and then the closing operation is executed on the corresponding symbols.
After determining the subframe in which the symbol closing operation can be performed, the configuration of the symbols in the downlink subframe needs to be obtained. When determining the closed time template, the influence of the control area, and the influence of the common reference Signal, PSS (Primary Synchronized Signal), SSS (Secondary Synchronized Signal), PBCH (Primary Synchronized Signal) need to be considered. Because the paging information is issued in a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH), no special processing is required when the symbol time template is judged to be closed; since the broadcast channel and the downlink synchronization signal are carried at the fixed positions of the sub-frame 0 and the sub-frame 5, if the off symbol operation needs to be performed, it needs to be separately considered for judgment. Since the terminal needs to perform channel estimation according to the downlink reference signal, the position of the reference symbol cannot perform the operation of turning off the symbol.
The following conditions are analyzed, and the implementation mode of obtaining the symbol configuration condition in the downlink subframe is detected. As shown in fig. 4a, 4 b.
And (I) detecting the symbol configuration condition in the downlink subframe for the normal subframe (non-subframe 0/5 and special subframe) to obtain a method flow of the symbol closing time template. The 2 nth slot (n-0) is judged from the L-1 th symbol, and the 2n +1 th slot is judged from the L-0 th symbol. Fig. 4a illustrates a method for detecting a symbol configuration of a normal subframe by taking the normal subframe without downlink data transmission as an example.
Step 1: if the lth symbol of the 2 nth slot is 0 or a specific value for identifying that the symbol does not carry data indicates that the symbol can be turned off, if the normal CP configuration is adopted, turning off the lth symbol to the 3 rd OFDM symbol of the 2 nth slot, skipping the 4 th symbol, turning off the 5 th symbol and the 6 th symbol, and if L >4, turning off the lth symbol to the 6 th symbol; if the extended CP configuration is adopted, the lth symbol to the 2 nd OFDM symbol of the 2 nth slot are turned off if L <3, the 3 rd symbol is skipped, the 4 th symbol and the 5 th symbol are turned off, and the lth symbol to the 5 th symbol are turned off if L > 3.
Step 2: if the Lth symbol of the 2 nth time slot is not 0, judging that the Lth symbol is L +1 symbol, if the symbol is in the normal CP configuration, L is less than 7, turning to Step1, otherwise, ending the time slot judgment; if the configuration is the extended CP, L <6, go to step1, otherwise, end the time slot judgment.
Step 3: the 2n +1 th slot is judged from the L-0 th symbol, and the judgment steps are the same as Step1 and Step 2.
(II) for subframe 0 or subframe 5, the method flow for detecting and obtaining the symbol configuration condition in the downlink subframe and obtaining the symbol closing time template is shown in fig. 4 b.
If it is the frame structure type1, i.e. FDD system, the 2 nth slot (n is 0) is judged from the L1 th symbol, if it is the normal CP configuration, if L <4, the L3 rd to 3 rd OFDM symbols of the 2 nth slot are closed; if the extended CP configuration is adopted, the Lth symbol to the 2 nd OFDM symbol of the 2 nth time slot are closed if L < 3. And if the 2n +1 time slot is in the normal CP configuration, starting to judge from the L-th symbol being 5, if the CP is in the extended CP configuration, starting to judge from the L-th symbol being 4, if the L-th symbol on each antenna port is 0, closing the L-th symbol to the last symbol, otherwise, ending to judge the last symbol by the L-L + 1.
If the frame structure type2 is the TDD system, for the 2 nth time slot, starting to detect from the 1 st OFDM symbol, determining the configuration information of the time template of symbol closing; for the 2n +1 th slot, in the case of a normal CP, detection starts from the L-5 th OFDM symbol; in the case of the extended CP, starting from the L-th 4 OFDM symbols, determining the configuration information of the time template with the closed symbols; wherein the last OFDM symbol of the 2n +1 th slot cannot be turned off.
According to the downlink subframe configuration condition of the obtained closed symbol, the symbol closed time template can be determined.
The method for closing the corresponding radio frequency channel according to the symbol closing time template can execute one-time complete closing operation of the radio frequency channel, and can also execute step-by-step closing of the radio frequency channel, namely, the small signal part of the sub radio frequency channel is closed (analog devices such as a digital-to-analog converter and an analog transceiver) and the large signal part is closed (a power amplifier).
In addition, when the channel quality is good, the configuration of the common reference signal can be changed by the control of the scheduler to obtain more closed symbol numbers. Such as modifying a 4-port to a 2-port.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a concrete implementation mode of the energy-saving base station device.
If the base station adopts an integrated structure, the radio frequency channel closing execution unit can directly close the radio frequency channel according to the time template of the radio frequency channel closing decided by the base station. If the Base station adopts a distributed structure (i.e. a BBU + RRU architecture is adopted), a Radio frequency channel closing information detection notification Unit can be arranged on the BBU (Base Band Unit) side for notifying the RRU (Radio Resource Unit) of the time template information for closing the Radio frequency channel; or, a radio frequency channel closing information detection notification unit is not arranged on the BBU side, and at this time, the RRU side needs to control the radio frequency channel according to the time template after recovering the time template for closing the radio frequency channel according to the data sent to the RRU by the BBU.
In the process of detecting and obtaining the configuration of the symbols in the downlink subframe and determining the symbol closing time template, it needs to judge which downlink symbols are closed, and then needs to judge whether the symbols bear data. The function of judging whether the downlink symbol carries data can be completed in the physical layer of the baseband board, and the symbol closing time template can be determined on the basis of the judgment. In this case, the symbol closing time template information needs to be transmitted to the RRU unit through the Ir interface. And a radio frequency channel closing information detection unit can be arranged at the RRU side, and symbol closing time template information is recovered according to a detection result by detecting baseband data from the BBU received by the RRU. Where the decision whether a symbol carries data or not can be determined by the processing power of the hardware.
The device according to the invention is described below in several embodiments.
For the integrated base station, the present invention provides a specific implementation apparatus, as shown in fig. 5, the base station apparatus includes: a statistic unit 501, a judgment unit 502, a detection unit 503, a base station scheduler 504, a baseband data processing unit 505, a radio frequency channel closing information detection unit 506 and a radio frequency channel closing execution unit 507.
The statistical unit 501 is configured to collect and count downlink subframe traffic load value information, and report statistical result information according to a set period. The reporting period can be set as required, and the set period is an integral multiple of 10 ms.
A judging unit 502, configured to judge whether the downlink subframe traffic load value is smaller than a downlink subframe traffic load threshold value according to the statistics result information reported by the statistics unit 501; and notifies the detection unit 503 of the determination result.
A detecting unit 503, configured to detect a symbol configuration in a downlink subframe when a downlink subframe traffic load value is smaller than a downlink subframe traffic load threshold value; and further determines a symbol closing time template according to the configuration of the symbols in the downlink subframe, and informs the base station scheduler 504.
The base station scheduler 504 schedules the data to be carried according to the symbol closing time template, and notifies the baseband data processing unit 505. For symbols not carrying downlink data, no scheduling is required.
Whether the symbol bears data or not is judged, the judgment can be completed on a physical layer of a baseband board, but judgment information needs to be transmitted to a logic judgment unit (generally completed on an FPGA) of the RRU through an Ir interface, and the logic judgment unit closes a radio frequency channel corresponding to the symbol which does not bear data. The logic judgment unit of the RRU receives the baseband signal from the BBU through the Ir interface, and can also complete the judgment function in the logic judgment unit, and the judgment of whether the symbol bears data is determined by the processing capacity of hardware.
If the symbol carrying the downlink data needs to be closed, scheduling is needed, and the carried data is transferred to other available subframes for transmission, so that the symbol can be closed only after becoming a symbol not carrying data. In the symbol that confirms closing, will not carry on the data scheduling; no data scheduling will be performed on the associated uplink resources.
The baseband data processing unit 505 sets the symbol data for performing the symbol closing operation to a specific value according to the time template, where the specific value may be all 0 s or all 1 s, and may also be a specific sequence for identifying the symbol closing.
Additionally, the rf channel closing information detecting unit 506 is configured to detect downlink symbol data, and if the baseband data is detected to be a continuous specific value, the starting time point of the symbol is a starting time point for performing closing; the unit issues an instruction to turn off/on the rf channel, which may be in the form of a switch level or other instruction. In the case where the baseband processing unit 504 does not perform the data setting operation, it is necessary to perform the determination after considering the position information excluding the common pilot at the time of the determination.
The rf channel closing execution unit 507 executes an operation of closing/opening the rf channel according to an instruction of closing/opening the rf channel output by the rf channel closing detection unit 506.
The rf channel shutdown execution unit 507 may execute a complete shutdown operation of the rf channel once or may execute a step-by-step shutdown operation of the rf channel according to different requirements of the rf channel design, that is, a small signal part shutdown (analog devices such as a digital-to-analog converter and an analog transceiver) and a large signal part shutdown (power amplifier) of the rf channel.
In practical application, since a signal stabilization process is required when the rf device is switched from the off state to the operating state, when the next symbol is an on symbol, the end time of the last symbol off period needs to be advanced properly, and generally needs to be advanced by 1-5 us according to the difference of the device stabilization time.
For the distributed structure base station, a specific embodiment device is proposed, as shown in fig. 6. On the BBU side, the method comprises the following steps: statistic section 601, determination section 602, detection section 603, base station scheduler 604, base station data transmission section 605, and radio channel closure information detection notification section 606. On the RRU side, the method comprises the following steps: a baseband data receiving unit 611, an rf channel shutdown information detecting unit 612, and an rf channel shutdown executing unit 613.
The statistical unit 601 is configured to collect and count service load information, and report statistical result information according to a set period. The reporting period can be set as required, and the set period is an integral multiple of 10 ms.
A determining unit 602, configured to determine whether the downlink subframe traffic load value is smaller than a downlink subframe traffic load threshold value according to the statistics result information reported by the statistics unit 601; and notifies the detection unit 603 of the determination result.
