Detailed Description

Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

Furthermore, the drawings are merely schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus their repetitive description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the figures are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically separate entities. These functional entities may be implemented in the form of software, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and/or processor devices and/or microcontroller devices.

In the related art, the problem of energy consumption of a 5G base station is a serious challenge for telecom operators to build a 5G network, and base station equipment manufacturers propose energy-saving technologies such as symbol turn-off, channel turn-off, carrier frequency turn-off, deep sleep and the like. In order to save more electricity, part of operators also use a hard power-off technology to directly turn off the power supply of the 5G base station. When the 5G base station is turned off by using carrier frequency, deep sleep and hard power off, the 5G base station will not send 5G signals any more, which may bring great influence to the perception of the user of the 5G data type. Therefore, a reasonable energy-saving time period is generally set according to historical flow conditions, and carrier frequency turn-off, deep sleep and hard power supply turn-off can be performed only when 5G data type users are few and the flow is low. However, even in such a situation, for large-scale stadiums, exhibition halls, colleges (on the vacation in summer and winter), the AI cannot accurately predict the busy and idle time of the base station, and when the 5G base station enters carrier frequency shutdown, deep sleep and power hard shutdown in emergencies such as sudden events, temporary exhibition in stadiums, school in colleges and universities, how to stop energy saving as soon as possible and recover the operation of the 5G base station is a problem to be solved in the energy saving process of the 5G base station. The equipment manufacturer judges whether the base station is busy or idle by taking the PRB utilization rate and the RRC user number of the 4G base station as the judgment standard for starting the corresponding 5G base station, but the busy condition of the 4G base station is only generated by 4G users, the users under the busy 4G base station are probably all 4G users and are not necessarily the real 5G service requirements, and meanwhile, the 4G base station and the 5G base station between different equipment manufacturers cannot cooperate.

In the present exemplary embodiment, first, there is provided a method of saving power of a 5G base station, which can be applied to a target area including a 4G base station and a 5G base station. Referring to fig. 1, the energy saving method of the 5G base station may include the steps of:

s110, acquiring data types of users in a target area, wherein the data types comprise a 5G data type and a 4G data type;

s120, acquiring 5G data requirements of each 5G data type user, and calculating the total 5G data requirements of a target area;

s130, when the total required 5G data is lower than a 5G opening threshold, performing energy-saving control on the 5G base station;

and S140, when the total required 5G data is more than or equal to the 5G opening threshold, recovering the service of the 5G base station.

According to the energy-saving method for the 5G base station, provided in the exemplary embodiment, compared with the prior art, the total data demand of the user with the 5G data type is detected in real time, the service of the 5G base station is started when the user needs the service, the energy-saving control of the 5G base station can be realized more accurately, the service of the 5G base station can be started in time when the demand reaches the starting threshold, the accuracy of the energy-saving control of the 5G base station is improved, and the user experience is improved.

Hereinafter, the steps of the energy saving method of the 5G base station in the present exemplary embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings and the embodiments.

Step S110, acquiring data types of users in the target area, wherein the data types comprise a 5G data type and a 4G data type.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the target area may be determined first, that is, a first coverage area of the 4G base station is determined first, then second coverage areas of the plurality of 5G base stations are obtained, then the same coverage areas of the 4G base station and the 5G base stations are determined according to the first coverage area and the second coverage areas, and at least one target area is determined according to each of the same coverage areas.

Specifically, MR data of a user may be first obtained to determine a coverage area of a base station, where the MR data is information exchanged between the base station and a mobile terminal through signaling, and the mobile terminal of the user uploads a signal condition of an area where the user is located to the base station through the MR data. The MR file has three formats: MRO, MRE, and MRS. Wherein the MRO is that the base station periodically collects the signal quality of the area where the mobile terminal of each user keeps connection with the current base station is located,

in this embodiment, the information such as the number ENODEBID of the 4G base station currently occupied by the mobile terminal of the user, the number information CELLID of the area where the mobile terminal is located, and the signal strength may be obtained, and the mobile terminal of some users may also report the longitude and latitude information of the current mobile terminal, that is, AGPS data. According to the AGPS data, a 4G base station signal covering a certain area can be obtained.

In this embodiment, information such as the number GNODEBID of the 5G base station currently occupied by the mobile terminal, the number information NRDUCELLID of the area where the mobile terminal is located, the signal strength, and the latitude and longitude of the mobile terminal, that is, AGPS data, may be obtained, and according to the AGPS data, a 5G base station signal covering a certain position may be obtained.

Summarizing the 4G and 5GAGPS data, we can obtain the 4G base station and the 5G base station covering the area. Because the whole network base station can periodically acquire MR information reported by the mobile terminal, the MR is massive wireless big data, and a large amount of MR data containing longitude and latitude information of the mobile terminal, namely position information, can be found based on the MR information. The location data may be rasterized, and the coverage of the 4G base station and the 5G base station in each grid may be counted, so that the coverage of the 4G base station and the 5G base station may be obtained.

For example, referring to fig. 2, the coverage area of a 4G base station has 11 grids, grid 1 to grid 11, among the grids covered by the 4G base station, 5G (1) base station covers 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10 grids, and the coverage ratio of the 5G base station and the 4G base station is 6/11; similarly, in the grids covered by the 4G base station, the 5G (2) base station covers the 6,10,11 grids, and the coverage rate of the 5G (2) base station is 3/11; by the same method, the same coverage rate of the 5G (3) base station and the 4G base station is calculated to be 4/11; other 5G base stations such as 5G (4) and 5G (5) do not have the same coverage area as the 4G base station, and the same coverage rate is 0.

When the 5G base station performs energy saving by adopting modes of carrier frequency turn-off, deep sleep, hard power turn-off and the like, if the 4G base station in the target area is busy and has a large 5G requirement and needs to wake up the 5G base station, the 5G (1), 5G (2) and 5G (3) base stations can be wakened up, and the 5G (4) and 5G (5) base stations continue to perform energy saving. When the 5G (1), 5G (2) and 5G (3) base stations wake up, the 5G data type user of the 4G base station can access the 5G network.

By repeating the above manner, a plurality of 5G base stations with the same coverage of all 4G base stations in the whole network can be counted. When the 5G base station saves energy by adopting modes of carrier frequency turn-off, deep sleep, hard power turn-off and the like, if the data demand of the 4G base station in the target area is large and the 5G demand is large, the 5G base stations corresponding to all the 4G base stations in the area can be awakened when the 5G base stations need to be awakened.

That is, in the present exemplary embodiment, the target area may include a plurality of 5G base stations, and the same coverage of the plurality of 5G base stations and the 4G base station may be first calculated, and whether the 5G base station can be determined to be in the target area may be determined according to the same coverage, for example, a preset minimum coverage may be set, and if the same coverage of the 5G base station and the 4G base station is less than or equal to the preset minimum coverage, the 5G base station location and the target area may be determined.

The preset minimum coverage may be 0, 0.01, 0.2, or the like, or may be customized according to a user requirement, which is not specifically limited in this example embodiment.

In this exemplary embodiment, when acquiring the data type of the user in the target area, the 4G base station may acquire historical service data of the user in the target area; and then determining the data type of the user according to the historical service data.

Referring to fig. 3, when obtaining historical service data of a user in a target area, CHR data of numbers of all users in a current 4G base station may be obtained, where the CHR data is Call History records (Call History records) of all LTE users in the entire network recorded by an LTE core network MME device, and the CHR data has three types: respectively a Paging file (MME _ sgsn _ Paging), an SM file (MME _ sgsn _ SM) and an MM file (MME _ sgsn _ MM). The Paging file contains data of user Paging, and the SM file contains data of user session management. The MM file is data in the aspect of user mobility management recorded by MME equipment, the number of a user and all base stations ECI passing through the Internet surfing process are recorded in the MM file, the data is collected and counted, and the number condition of all users recently appearing in each 4G base station can be obtained. And when the 5G network has no signal, the 5G data type users fall back to the 4G network, the 4G base station is used for accessing the network, and the 4G network related information generated by the 5G data type users also enters the CHR ticket.

Referring to fig. 4, when the number of users on the internet is large and the 4G base station is busy, if these users are 4G terminals or the 5G package is not opened, the peripheral 5G base station is opened, and too much 5G traffic will not be generated. Therefore, in order to more effectively evaluate the necessity of turning on the 5G base station, we also need to first obtain whether the data types of these users under the current 4G base station are 5G data types (here, the user of the 5G data type means that the mobile terminal of the user is a 5G terminal, and the user turns on the 5G switch and transacts a 5G package).

Referring to fig. 4, there are many methods for determining whether a user is a 5G data type user, and we can determine whether a user is a 5G data type user through a ticket in a charging system. There is a field "EVENT _ type _ id" in the charging ticket, i.e. the charging EVENT type. The event type can be classified into 3G related event, 4G related event, and 5G related event, and the specific 5G related event can refer to table 1.

TABLE 1.5G related events

Referring to fig. 5, if these 5G charging events occur in the call ticket of a user, it indicates that the user is a 5G data type user. And then summing the flow in the call ticket records of the 5G charging events to obtain the 5G flow of the users with the 5G data types.

In step S120, the 5G data requirements of each 5G data type user are obtained, and the total 5G data requirements of the target area are calculated.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the 5G data requirement of each 5G data type user may be determined according to a preset rule according to the historical data, and specifically, the data traffic of each 5G data type user in a preset time period may be determined according to the historical data; determining the 5G data requirements of each 5G data type user according to the data traffic

For example, when the 5G base station performs energy saving by using the modes of carrier frequency off, deep sleep, hard power off, and the like at night, a user of the 5G data type can only use the 4G base station to surf the internet, and the user actually has a 5G internet access requirement, and the 5G data requirement of the user of the G data type can be determined by referring to table 2.

TABLE 2 correspondence table of data flow and data demand

5G data requirements	User last month 5G flow
		1	0-1G
2	1G-10G
		3	10-50G
4	Over 50G

Referring to table 2, it can be seen that the higher the 5G data traffic of the user in the previous month, the greater the 5G data demand of the user.

In this exemplary embodiment, referring to table 3, the data requirements of all users with 5G data types in the 4G base station in the target area can be obtained in real time, so that the current 5G data requirement total amount of the target area can be obtained. For example, the CHR ticket actually counts 10 real-time users in a target area, wherein 5 users with 5G data types exist.

TABLE 3.5G data requirement statistics

Referring to table 3, the total current 5G data requirement in the target area is 14. If the same site has multiple 4G frequency points covering the same area at the same time, when counting the current 5G data requirement of the target area, the current 5G data requirement total amount of the 4G base station of each frequency point in the target area needs to be summed to obtain the 5G data requirement total amount.

The number of users under the 4G base station in the target area is constantly changing, and the total amount of 5G data requirements at different times under the 4G base station in the target area can be obtained by counting with 5-minute granularity or 10-minute and 15-minute granularity.

TABLE 4 Total 5G data requirement in target region at 10 minute granularity

Referring to table 4, 4: and when the time is 40 minutes, the 5G data requirement in the target area is suddenly increased, and the 5G base station in the target area is activated subsequently.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, a preset energy saving rule may be first determined, that is, historical 5G traffic data in a target area is obtained, an energy saving time period is determined according to the historical traffic data, and energy saving control is performed on the 5G base station according to the energy saving time period, specifically, an initial deep sleep energy saving time period of the 5G base station is set according to the 5G traffic data of the 5G base station and a PRB utilization rate condition of the 5G base station, where the energy saving time periods of different 5G base stations may be different, for example, there are 3 5G base stations around the 4G base station in the above example, the energy saving time period of the 5G (1) base station may be 0 to 6 points at night, the energy saving time period of the 5G (2) base station may be 1 to 7 points at night, and the energy saving time period of the 5G (3) base station may be 1 to 6 points at night. The total amount of the 5G data under the target area is counted every 10 minutes at 0-7 nights.

In this exemplary embodiment, a 5G turn-on threshold may be determined first, where the 5G turn-on threshold may be the total amount of the 5G data requirement is 20, 25, and the like, and may also be customized according to a user requirement, and is not specifically limited in this exemplary embodiment.

In this exemplary embodiment, if the total amount of 5G data required is greater than the 5G turn-on threshold, the 5G base station in the target area is activated, and after the 5G base station operates, the 5G service is provided for the user of the 5G data type in the target area.

In this exemplary embodiment, a 5G closing threshold may also be set, where the 5G closing threshold may be the total amount of the 5G data requirement is 1, 2, and the like, and may also be customized according to a user requirement, which is not specifically limited in this exemplary embodiment.

In this exemplary embodiment, if the total amount of the 5G data requirements is less than the 5G closing threshold, it is indicated that the user requirements of the 5G data types in the target area are very small. The energy saving control can be performed for the 5G base station in the target area.

In this exemplary embodiment, if the total amount of 5G data required at a certain time point is greater than or equal to the 5G closing threshold and less than or equal to the 5G opening threshold, the determined preset rule performs energy saving control on the 5G base station, that is, performs energy saving control on the 5G base station according to an energy saving time period.

In an exemplary embodiment, one 5G base station may belong to two different target areas simultaneously, and when any one target area needs to activate the 5G base station, the 5G base station belonging to the two different target areas simultaneously is activated to meet the requirement of the user for 5G data.

In this exemplary embodiment, the energy saving control for the G base station may be performed by turning off a channel of the base station, or turning off a channel and a carrier, or turning off the base station, which is not specifically limited in this exemplary embodiment.

In this exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 6, when the 5G base station (NSA)660 and the 5G base Station (SA)670 enter deep sleep or rf off, the 5G signal is no longer transmitted, and the 5G subscriber will fall back to the 4G base station 650 and access the network using the 4G wireless base station. According to the technical scheme, the same coverage condition of the 4G base station and the 5G base station is calculated through 4G MR data and 5G MR data, when the 5G base station saves energy by adopting modes of carrier frequency turn-off, deep sleep, hard power turn-off and the like, the charging system 610 counts all user numbers accessed by the current 4G base station 650 through the 4G core network 640 in real time, then judges whether the users are 5G users or not, acquires 5G user call tickets of the 5G base station (NSA)660 and the 5G base Station (SA)670 through the 5G core network 680, and counts the total amount of 5G data requirements of all 5G users. The big data platform 620 obtains the number and the flow of the 5G user, and transmits a starting instruction to the professional network manager 630 of the equipment manufacturer when the total required 5G data amount reaches a starting threshold, so that the professional network manager 630 of the equipment manufacturer starts a 5G base station in a target area, and the perception of the 5G user is guaranteed; and when the total required 5G data is lower than a closing threshold, transmitting a closing instruction to the professional network manager 630 of the equipment manufacturer, so that the professional network manager 630 of the equipment manufacturer closes the 5G base station in the target area.

In this exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, first step S710 may be executed to acquire CHR data of all subscriber numbers in the target area, then step S720 is executed to calculate a total 5G data requirement amount in the target area, then step S730 is executed to determine the total 5G data requirement amount, and when the determination result is a, that is, the total 5G data requirement amount is greater than the 5G opening threshold, step S740 is executed to search for a 5G base station in the target area, and step S780 is executed to recover the service of the 5G base station; if the judgment result is B, that is, the total required 5G data amount is less than the 5G closing threshold, executing step S740, searching for a 5G base station in the target area, executing step S760, judging whether the current time is an energy-saving time period, and executing step S770 to perform energy-saving control on the 5G base station, whether yes or no; if the determination result is C, that is, the total required 5G data is less than or equal to the 5G opening threshold and greater than or equal to the 5G closing threshold, step S740 is executed to search for a 5G base station in the target area, and step S750 is executed to determine whether the current time is an energy saving time period, if so, step S770 is executed to perform energy saving control on the 5G base station, and if not, step S780 is executed to recover the service of the 5G base station.

The following describes an embodiment of the apparatus of the present disclosure, which may be used to perform the energy saving method of the 5G base station of the present disclosure.
