As shown in fig. 6, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for configuring an energy saving area, where the method includes:

step 61: and under the condition that the current cell where the terminal is located belongs to a first energy-saving area, the terminal moves to perform cell reselection and reads system information of the reselected cell.

Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram of cell reselection performed by a terminal moving. The current cell in which the terminal is located belongs to the first energy saving area 71, and the terminal moves to perform cell reselection (as indicated by an arrow in fig. 7), and reads system information of the reselected cell.

Specifically, the reading of the system information of the reselected cell includes, but is not limited to, the following ways:

the first method is as follows: reading the cell identity of the reselected cell, such as: a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) and a Tracking Area Code (TAC) to determine whether the reselected cell belongs to the range of the first energy-saving Area 71.

The second method comprises the following steps: the identification information of the energy-saving area of the reselected cell is read, and whether the reselected cell belongs to the range of the first energy-saving area 71 is determined.

Step 62: and if the reselected cell is determined to belong to a second energy-saving area according to the system information of the reselected cell, triggering energy-saving area update reporting.

As shown in fig. 7, the terminal performs cell reselection, and if it is determined that the reselected cell belongs to the second energy-saving region 72 according to the system information of the reselected cell, triggers an energy-saving region update report; and if the reselected cell is determined to belong to the first energy-saving area 71 according to the system information of the reselected cell, not performing energy-saving area update reporting.

And step 63: and acquiring configuration information of the energy-saving area configured by the base station according to the reporting information reported by the terminal triggering energy-saving area updating.

In addition, the terminal may also use a periodic energy saving area update reporting mode, that is, each time a predetermined time period elapses, the energy saving area update reporting is triggered.

Specifically, the base station configures the configuration information of the energy-saving area for the terminal according to the reported information that the terminal triggers updating of the energy-saving area, which includes but is not limited to the following modes:

the first method is as follows: the base station configures configuration information of an energy-saving area for a terminal initiating RRC connection establishment or RRC connection recovery or a terminal switching to the base station. Or the base station configures the configuration information of the energy-saving area for the terminal under the condition of receiving the reported information which is reported by the terminal triggering the energy-saving area to update. That is, the base station triggers the energy-saving area to update the reported reporting information according to the terminal, and configures the configuration information of the energy-saving area for the terminal. Or the base station may configure the configuration information of the energy saving region for the cell accessing the base station, that is, the base station may not determine whether the terminal has updated the energy saving region, and configure the configuration information of the energy saving region for the terminal.

The second method comprises the following steps: and the terminal triggers the energy-saving area to update the reported information, which carries the configuration information of the energy-saving area or the identification information of the energy-saving area.

The base station judges whether the terminal has the energy-saving area update according to the reported information carrying the configuration information of the energy-saving area or the identification information of the energy-saving area; and if the terminal has the energy-saving area update, configuring the configuration information of the energy-saving area for the terminal.

Specifically, the terminal triggers an energy-saving area update report and can send report information carrying configuration information of a complete energy-saving area to the base station, and the base station can compare the configuration information of the energy-saving area carried in the report information with configuration information of an energy-saving area to which a current cell where the terminal is located belongs, so as to determine whether the terminal has an energy-saving area update.

The third method comprises the following steps: the reported information which is reported by the terminal triggering the energy-saving area updating carries the identification information of the source base station which configures the configuration information of the energy-saving area for the terminal and/or the identification information of the terminal which can be identified by the source base station.

The base station judges whether the terminal has energy-saving area update according to the identification information of a source base station carrying configuration information for configuring the energy-saving area for the terminal and/or the report information of the identification information of the terminal which can be identified by the source base station; and if the terminal has the energy-saving area update, configuring configuration information of the energy-saving area for the terminal.

Specifically, the base station may obtain, from the source base station, configuration information of a source energy saving area of the terminal or identification information of the source energy saving area according to identification information of the source base station that configures configuration information of an energy saving area for the terminal and/or identification information of the terminal that is recognizable to the source base station, which is carried by the reported information; and judging whether the terminal has the energy-saving area update according to the configuration information of the source energy-saving area or the identification information of the source energy-saving area.

Further, the step of determining, by the base station, whether the terminal has an energy-saving area update according to the configuration information of the source energy-saving area or the identification information of the source energy-saving area specifically includes: the base station compares the configuration information of the source energy-saving area with the configuration information of the energy-saving area of the current cell where the terminal is located, so as to determine whether the terminal is updated in the energy-saving area; or, when the configuration information of the source energy-saving region includes the identification information of the source energy-saving region, the base station compares, according to the identification information of the source energy-saving region, the identification information of the energy-saving region to which the current cell where the terminal is located belongs, so as to determine whether the terminal has an energy-saving region update.

Thus, for a terminal adopting a periodic energy-saving area update reporting mode, a base station may have a situation that whether the terminal is updated with an energy-saving area cannot be distinguished, the base station can adopt the second mode or the third mode to judge whether the terminal is updated with the energy-saving area, and if the terminal is determined to be updated with the energy-saving area, configuration information of the energy-saving area is configured for the terminal; if the terminal does not update the energy-saving area, the step of configuring the configuration information of the energy-saving area for the terminal is not executed, or the configuration information of the energy-saving area for the terminal is updated.

Specifically, the method for acquiring the configuration information of the energy-saving area configured by the base station according to the reporting information reported by the terminal triggering the energy-saving area update includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

the first method is as follows: and the terminal acquires system information broadcasted by the base station, wherein the system information carries configuration information of an energy-saving area corresponding to the base station and/or identification information of an energy-saving area to which a current cell where the terminal is located belongs. In this way, the terminal may directly obtain the configuration information of the corresponding energy saving region according to the system information broadcast by the base station, or obtain the configuration information of the corresponding energy saving region according to the identification information of the energy saving region.

The second method comprises the following steps: and the terminal acquires a preset signaling sent by the base station, wherein the preset signaling carries the configuration information of the energy-saving area corresponding to the base station. In this way, the terminal may obtain the configuration information of the energy saving area configured by the base station by obtaining the predetermined signaling sent by the base station and by obtaining the configuration information of the energy saving area to which the current cell where the terminal is located belongs, which is carried by the predetermined signaling.
