Description

Network energy saving method, device, computing equipment and computer storage medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a network energy saving method, a device, a computing device, and a computer storage medium.

Background

Along with the continuous development of science and technology and society, the application range of 5G technology is also expanding, so that a 4G and 5G concurrent network structure becomes an important network structure. In the network structure, as the density of the 5G network deployment base stations is high, the power consumption of a single base station is high, thereby greatly increasing the power consumption of the whole network.

Currently, in order to reduce network power consumption, a network energy saving scheme is generally adopted as an independent 4G-5G energy saving scheme. Namely, respectively acquiring cell level or RRU/BBU level historical data of the 4G network, evaluating network load of the 4G network, and outputting an energy-saving cell or RRU/BBU of the 4G network and an energy-saving period according to a set 4G energy-saving threshold; similarly, the cell level or RRU/BBU level historical data of the 5G network is obtained respectively, the network load of the 5G network is estimated, and the energy-saving cell or RRU/BBU of the 5G network and the energy-saving period are output according to the set 5G energy-saving threshold.

However, the inventors found in practice that the following drawbacks exist in the prior art: by adopting an independent 4G-5G energy-saving scheme in the prior art, the overall energy-saving effect of the network is poor; and when a certain energy-saving cell or RRU/BBU in the 5G network is in an energy-saving period, the traffic is migrated to the 4G network, the 4G network load is easy to increase, and therefore the user experience is reduced.

Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

Example 1

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a network energy saving method according to a first embodiment of the invention. The method can be applied to various computing devices, and the specific type of the computing device is not limited in this embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:

Step S110: cells having a co-coverage relationship are identified and a co-coverage cell list is generated.

When a cell is in an energy-saving state, the cell cannot effectively bear service traffic, and if the service traffic cannot be migrated to other cells, service interruption can be caused, so that user experience is affected. Based on this, the energy-saving cell in this embodiment needs to have a corresponding co-coverage cell, so that when the cell is in an energy-saving state, the service traffic carried by the cell is migrated to other cells having a co-coverage relationship with the cell, thereby maintaining normal processing of the service and guaranteeing user perception.

In a specific implementation, cells having a co-coverage relationship are first identified, and then a corresponding co-coverage cell list is generated. In the common coverage cell list, a plurality of cell identities having a common coverage relationship are associated.

Step S120: 4G/5G common mode cells and 5G single mode cells are identified from the common coverage cell list.

Unlike the independent 4G-5G energy saving scheme in the prior art, the present embodiment specifically uses a 4G and 5G co-processing method to generate the final energy saving scheme. Specifically, the present embodiment may obtain configuration information of each cell in the common coverage cell list, and identify a 4G/5G common mode cell and a 5G single mode cell from the common coverage cell list according to the configuration information. If some cell 4G and 5G share AAU, the cell is determined to be a 4G/5G common mode cell.

Step S130: generating an energy-saving scheme of a 4G/5G common mode cell and an energy-saving scheme of a 5G single mode cell respectively; the power saving scheme includes a deep sleep scheme and/or a carrier off scheme.

Respective energy saving schemes are generated for the 4G/5G common mode cell and the 5G single mode cell respectively. That is, the energy saving scheme generation manner of the 4G/5G common mode cell and the 5G single mode cell in the present embodiment is different.

Specifically, the generated energy-saving scheme includes a deep sleep scheme and/or a carrier off scheme. The energy-saving mode corresponding to the deep sleep scheme is a deep sleep mode, and the deep sleep scheme comprises a deep sleep period of the cell; similarly, the energy-saving mode corresponding to the carrier turn-off scheme is to turn off the carrier, and the carrier turn-off scheme includes the cell carrier turn-off period. In practical implementation, the deep sleep has a better energy saving effect (the deep sleep saves about 60% of energy and the carrier turn-off saves about 40%) compared to the carrier turn-off, but the deep sleep back-off takes longer time than the carrier turn-off (for example, the deep sleep back-off takes about 10 minutes and the carrier turn-off can reach second level wake-up), so those skilled in the art can configure the corresponding deep sleep condition and the carrier turn-off condition based on this, which is not limited in this embodiment. In addition, the energy saving scheme in this embodiment may be empty, that is, it indicates that the cell does not perform energy saving processing.

TABLE 1

By implementing the embodiment, an energy saving scheme report of at least one cell can be generated. In the report, the identity of the cell performing the energy saving process (i.e., the cell identity of which the energy saving scheme is not empty), the energy saving mode corresponding to the cell, and the energy saving period corresponding to the energy saving mode may be presented. As shown in table 1. The cell NO.1 adopts the energy-saving scheme that: at 2:00-6:00, performing deep dormancy; the cell No.2 adopts the energy-saving scheme that: at 0:00-4:00 performs deep sleep, at 8:00-11:00 performs carrier off.

Therefore, the embodiment adopts the 4G-5G cooperative processing mode to generate the cell energy-saving scheme, so that the overall energy-saving effect of the network can be improved, and the defect of sudden increase of 4G network load and reduced user experience caused when the 5G network is migrated to the 4G network is avoided; in addition, the energy-saving scheme comprises a deep sleep scheme and/or a carrier turn-off scheme, so that the matched energy-saving scheme can be adopted according to different service states, and the energy-saving effect of the network is further improved. In addition, the implementation process of the scheme is simple and feasible, the energy-saving scheme has high output efficiency, and the scheme is suitable for large-scale application and implementation.

Example two

Fig. 2a is a schematic flow chart of a network energy saving method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Wherein the present method is directed to a further optimization of the method of embodiment one.

As shown in fig. 2a, the method comprises:

step S210: cells having a co-coverage relationship are identified and a co-coverage cell list is generated.

Step S220: identifying a 4G/5G common mode cell and a 5G single mode cell from the common coverage cell list; if the cell is a 5G single-mode cell, executing step S230; if the cell is a 4G/5G common mode cell, step S240 is performed.

In an alternative embodiment, in order to guarantee service processing in the key area, a corresponding cell white list may be pre-constructed in this embodiment, and a cell identifier that is not energy-saving optimized is recorded in the cell white list. For example, cell identifications of heavy spot areas such as railway stations, subways, VIP cells, etc. may be recorded in the white list. Therefore, after the cells in the white list can be removed from the common coverage cell list, the 4G/5G common mode cells and the 5G single mode cells can be identified.

Step S230: and obtaining the average service flow of the 5G single-mode cell in unit time in a preset history period, and generating an energy-saving scheme of the 5G single-mode cell according to the average service flow.

When the energy-saving scheme corresponding to the cell is generated, the embodiment specifically obtains the flow information of the cell in the preset history period, and then generates the corresponding energy-saving scheme. The energy-saving scheme generation process of the 5G single-mode cell is shown in fig. 2 b:

step S231: and obtaining the average service flow of the 5G single-mode cell in unit time in a preset history period.

Specifically, for a 5G single-mode cell, the traffic information of each unit time of the cell in a preset history period can be obtained, and then the average traffic of the unit time in the preset history period is calculated. For example, the preset history period may be 15 days recently, and the unit time may be hours, so that for any one hour, the total traffic of the cell in 15 days recently in the hour is obtained, and then the average traffic of the hour is obtained by dividing the total traffic by 15 days. By this step, the average traffic flow of the 5G single-mode cell in each unit time can be obtained.

Step S232: determining the type of any unit time; among these types include a deep sleep type, a carrier off type, and/or a non-power saving type.

In a specific implementation process, for any unit time, if the average service flow in the unit time is smaller than or equal to a first preset threshold, determining that the type in the unit time is a deep sleep type; if the average service flow in the unit time is greater than a first preset threshold value and less than or equal to a second preset threshold value, determining that the type in the unit time is a carrier turn-off type; and when the average service flow in unit time is larger than a second preset threshold value, determining that the type in unit time is an energy-saving failure type. Wherein the first preset threshold may be 20M, the second preset threshold may be 40M,

step S233: and generating a power saving scheme of the 5G single-mode cell according to the determined type of the unit time.

Specifically, if x continuous unit times are of a deep sleep type, and x is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold, determining that the x continuous unit times are of a deep sleep period; wherein x is greater than or equal to 1; and/or if the continuous y unit times are of the carrier off type and y is greater than or equal to a fourth preset threshold, determining that the y unit times are of the carrier off period; wherein y is greater than or equal to 1. The third preset threshold may be the same as the fourth preset threshold, for example, both may be 3; the third preset threshold may be different from the fourth preset threshold, for example, the third preset threshold is 3, the fourth preset threshold is 4, and so on. The third preset threshold value and the fourth preset threshold value are not limited in this embodiment. In addition, if the 5G single-mode cell does not have a deep sleep period or a carrier off period, the energy-saving scheme of the cell is determined to be empty, i.e. the cell is a cell which does not save energy.

Optionally, a multiple sliding window algorithm can be specifically adopted, and an energy-saving scheme of the 5G single-mode cell is generated according to the determined type of the unit time, so that the generation efficiency of the energy-saving scheme is improved. Specifically, a multiple sliding window algorithm is employed to determine the deep sleep period and/or the carrier off period. As shown in fig. 2c, the time window is 4 hours, for any time window, if 3 continuous hours in the time window are of a preset type (wherein, when determining the deep sleep period, the preset type is the deep sleep type, and when determining the carrier off period, the preset type is the carrier off type), the time window is determined to be an effective window, the starting time n of the first effective window is recorded, whether the time window with the starting time n+1 is an effective window is further determined, if yes, whether the time window with the starting time n+2 is an effective window is continuously determined; and the method is performed by analogy until the last effective window is determined, and the starting time n+k of the last effective window is recorded. Judging whether the starting time n and n+k+3 are of preset types or not: if n and n+k+3 are preset types, the energy-saving period is [ n, n+k+3] (if the preset type is a deep sleep type, the energy-saving period is a deep sleep period; if the preset type is a carrier off type, the energy-saving period is a carrier off period); if n is not the preset type, but n+k+3 is the preset type, the energy-saving period is [ n+1, n+k+3]; if n is a preset type and n+k+3 is not the preset type, the energy-saving period is [ n, n+k+2]; if n and n+k+3 are not the preset types, the energy-saving period is [ n+1, n+k+2].

Finally, the cell identification of the 5G single-mode cell, the energy-saving type and the energy-saving period corresponding to the energy-saving type are recorded in the energy-saving scheme of the 5G single-mode cell.

Step S240: generating a 4G energy saving scheme and a 5G energy saving scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell; and matching the 4G energy-saving scheme with the 5G energy-saving scheme, and generating the energy-saving scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell according to a matching result.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2d, the 4G power saving scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell may be generated through steps S241 to S242:

step S241: for any unit time, the type of that unit time is determined.

Specifically, in determining the type of the unit time, the type of the unit time may be determined through steps S2411 to S2413.

Step S2411: judging whether the 4G/5G common mode cell is in a low-load state in the unit time of a preset history period; if yes, go to step S2412; if not, determining that the type of the unit time is an energy-saving failure type.

Specifically, whether the 4G/5G common mode cell is in a low load state in the unit time may be determined according to at least one index value corresponding to the unit time. Wherein the index comprises at least one of the following indexes: RRC number for data transmission, uplink utilization, downlink utilization (including PDSCH and/or PDCCH), uplink traffic, and downlink traffic. For example, if the RRC number of data transmission of the cell in the 1 st hour (i.e., 0:00-1:00) is less than or equal to 16 and the uplink utilization is less than or equal to 30% and the downlink utilization is less than or equal to 30%, the uplink traffic is less than or equal to 0.4GB and the downlink traffic is less than or equal to 2GB in the last 15 days, it is determined that the cell is in a low load state in the 1 st hour of the last 15 days.

If it is determined that the 4G/5G common mode cell is in a low load state within the unit time of the preset history period, determining whether other cells can effectively carry the original traffic of the cell when the cell is in an energy saving state through subsequent steps S2412 to S2413; if the 4G/5G common mode cell is not in a low load state in the unit time of the preset history period, the type of the unit time is determined to be an energy-saving failure type.

Step S2412, determining a common coverage area of the 4G/5G common mode cell according to the cell having a common coverage relation with the 4G/5G common mode cell, and calculating a capacity-reduction equivalent carrier bearing flow and a capacity-reduction equivalent carrier utilization rate of the common coverage area in the unit time.

Specifically, the number of volume-reduced equivalent carriers of the common coverage area is calculated first. The method comprises the steps of determining the equivalent carrier number of each cell in the common coverage area, then obtaining the original equivalent carrier number (comprising the equivalent carrier number of the 4G/5G common mode cell) in the common coverage area, and obtaining the volume-reduced equivalent carrier number (namely the difference value between the original equivalent carrier number and the equivalent carrier number of the 4G/5G common mode cell) in the common coverage area.

Wherein the number of equivalent carriers of different types of cells is shown in table 2.

TABLE 2

Cell type	Equivalent carrier number
		1ge 20M TDD	1
F frequency band of 10M	0.5
		FDD900/A frequency band	0.75
F frequency band of 10M	0.5
		FDD1800	1.5
3D-MIMIO	2.5

Further, the volume-reduced equivalent carrier bearer flow per unit time of the common coverage area is calculated.

Wherein, the volume-reducing equivalent carrier bearing flow can be obtained by the following formula (2-1):

wherein Y is the volume-reducing equivalent carrier number of the co-coverage area, and T is the average service flow per unit time in the preset historical period of the co-coverage area.

In calculating the volume-reduced equivalent carrier utilization per unit time of the common coverage area, it is obtained by the following formula (2-2):

wherein Y is the volume-reduced equivalent carrier number of the co-coverage area, xi is the downlink utilization rate of the ith cell of the unit time of the co-coverage area in a preset history period, and Yi is the equivalent carrier number of the ith cell of the co-coverage area; p is the total number of cells contained in the co-coverage area.

Step S2413, determining the type of the unit time according to the volume-reduction equivalent carrier bearing flow of the unit time and the size relation between the volume-reduction equivalent carrier utilization and a preset threshold.

Specifically, if the volume reduction equivalent carrier bearing flow in the unit time is smaller than or equal to a fifth preset threshold value, and the volume reduction equivalent carrier utilization rate is smaller than or equal to a sixth preset threshold value, determining that the type in the unit time is a deep sleep type; if the capacity reduction equivalent carrier bearing flow in unit time is greater than a fifth preset threshold and less than or equal to a seventh preset threshold, and the capacity reduction equivalent carrier utilization rate is greater than a sixth preset threshold and less than or equal to an eighth preset threshold, determining that the type in unit time is a carrier turn-off type. In addition, the type per unit time is an energy saving failure type. Wherein, the fifth preset threshold may be 2G, and the sixth preset threshold may be 20%; the seventh preset threshold may be 3G and the eighth preset threshold may be 30%.

Step S242: and generating a 4G energy-saving scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell according to the determined type of the unit time.

Specifically, if x continuous unit times are of a deep sleep type, and x is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold, determining that the x continuous unit times are of a deep sleep period; wherein x is greater than or equal to 1; and/or if the continuous y unit times are of the carrier off type and y is greater than or equal to a fourth preset threshold, determining that the y unit times are of the carrier off period; wherein y is greater than or equal to 1. The third preset threshold may be the same as the fourth preset threshold, for example, both may be 3; the third preset threshold may be different from the fourth preset threshold, for example, the third preset threshold is 3, the fourth preset threshold is 4, and so on. The third preset threshold value and the fourth preset threshold value are not limited in this embodiment.

In addition, if the cell does not have a deep sleep period or a carrier off period, the energy saving scheme of the cell is determined to be empty, i.e. the cell is a cell which does not perform energy saving.

Alternatively, a multiple sliding window algorithm may be specifically adopted, and the 4G energy saving scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell is generated according to the determined type of unit time. Thereby improving the generation efficiency of the energy-saving scheme. Specifically, a multiple sliding window algorithm is employed to determine the deep sleep period and/or the carrier off period. The specific implementation process may refer to the description of the corresponding portion in step S233, which is not described herein.

The 4G power saving scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell is generated through steps S241 to S242 to include a deep sleep scheme (including a deep sleep period) and/or a carrier off scheme (including a carrier off period).

Further, as shown in fig. 2e, the 5G power saving scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell may be generated through steps S243-S245:

step S243: and obtaining the average service flow of the 4G/5G common mode cell in unit time in a preset history period.

Step S244: for any unit time, if the average service flow in the unit time is smaller than a first preset threshold, determining that the type in the unit time is a deep sleep type; if the average traffic flow in the unit time is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value and less than the second preset threshold value, determining that the type in the unit time is a carrier turn-off type.

Step S245: and generating a 5G energy saving scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell according to the determined type of the unit time.

The specific implementation process of step S243 to step S245 may refer to the description of the corresponding portion in step S230, and this step is not described herein.

The 5G power saving scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell is generated through steps S243-S245, including a deep sleep scheme (including a deep sleep period) and/or a carrier off scheme (including a carrier off period).

After the 4G power saving scheme and the 5G power saving scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell are obtained, the two types of power saving schemes are further matched. In a specific matching process, matching a deep sleep scheme in a 4G energy-saving scheme with a deep sleep scheme in a 5G energy-saving scheme to generate a deep sleep scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell; and/or matching the carrier turn-off scheme in the 4G energy-saving scheme with the carrier turn-off scheme in the 5G energy-saving scheme to generate the carrier turn-off scheme of the 4G/5G common mode cell. In the process of matching the deep sleep scheme in the 4G energy-saving scheme with the deep sleep scheme in the 5G energy-saving scheme, an intersection of the deep sleep period can be determined, and then the intersection is used as the deep sleep period of the 4G/5G common mode cell; similarly, in the process of matching the carrier turn-off scheme in the 4G energy-saving scheme with the carrier turn-off scheme in the 5G energy-saving scheme, an intersection of the carrier turn-off periods can be determined, and then the intersection is used as the carrier turn-off period of the 4G/5G common mode cell. In addition, for the portions without intersections, the processing is performed according to the respective energy saving schemes.

Therefore, on the basis of the first embodiment, the adaptive energy-saving evaluation method is adopted for the 4G/5G common-mode cell and the 5G single-mode cell to obtain respective energy-saving schemes, so that the accuracy of the energy-saving schemes is improved; and the deep dormancy or carrier turn-off energy-saving scheme is adopted aiming at different service states, so that a multi-level energy-saving scheme is generated, and the further improvement of the energy-saving effect is facilitated.

Example III

Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a network energy saving method according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Wherein the present method is directed to a further optimization of the method of embodiment one.

As shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

step S310: and acquiring the industrial parameter data, MR and/or MDT data of the cell.

Specifically, the cell's parametric data, MR (Measurement Report ) and/or MDT (Minimization Drive Test, minimization of drive tests) data may be obtained from OMCs, resource centers, network management centers, etc.

Step S320: and identifying the cells with the common coverage relation according to the industrial parameter data, MR and/or MDT data of the cells, and generating a common coverage cell list.

In a particular implementation, cells having co-coverage relationships with sectors may be identified based on the parameter data. For example, the same sector cell information may be output based on latitude and longitude and azimuth in the industry parameters. If the cells are within 50 meters of each other and the azimuth difference is less than or equal to 20 degrees, then the cells are determined to have a co-coverage relationship with the sector.

In addition, cells having a sector-to-sector relationship can be identified based on the process parameter data, and cells having a different sector co-coverage relationship can be identified from among the cells having a sector-to-sector relationship based on the MR and/or MDT data.

In the process of identifying the cell with the sector hit relation based on the working parameter data, aiming at two macro station cells, if the distance between the two macro station cells is smaller than 150 meters and the included angle between the azimuth angle and the longitude and latitude connecting line is within +/-30 degrees, determining that the two macro station cells hit; in addition, aiming at the macro station cell and the micro station cell, if the distance between the macro station cell and the micro station cell is smaller than 150 meters and the angle between the azimuth angle of the macro station cell and the connecting line between the macro station cell and the micro station cell is within +/-30 degrees, the two cells are determined to be paired.

Further, identifying a cell having a different sector co-coverage relationship from cells having a sector pair relationship based on MR and/or MDT data specifically includes: when the two-cell satisfies the following general expression (3-1), determining that the two cells are in a different-sector co-coverage relationship:

step S330: 4G/5G common mode cells and 5G single mode cells are identified from the common coverage cell list.

Step S340: generating an energy-saving scheme of a 4G/5G common mode cell and an energy-saving scheme of a 5G single mode cell respectively; the power saving scheme includes a deep sleep scheme and/or a carrier off scheme.

Therefore, the embodiment further identifies the cells with the common coverage relationship according to the industrial parameter data, the MR data and/or the MDT data based on the first embodiment, thereby improving the accuracy of the identified cells with the common coverage relationship and providing a basis for generating the subsequent energy-saving scheme.

Example IV

Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a network energy saving method according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Wherein the present method is directed to a further optimization of the method of embodiment one.

As shown in fig. 4, the method includes:

step S410: cells having a co-coverage relationship are identified and a co-coverage cell list is generated.

Step S420: 4G/5G common mode cells and 5G single mode cells are identified from the common coverage cell list.

Step S430: generating an energy-saving scheme of a 4G/5G common mode cell and an energy-saving scheme of a 5G single mode cell respectively; the power saving scheme includes a deep sleep scheme and/or a carrier off scheme.

Step S440: optimizing the parameters, and executing the energy-saving scheme after optimizing the parameters.

In order to further improve the energy saving effect, the present embodiment may perform optimization of relevant parameters before formally executing the energy saving scheme. The parameter may specifically be a power parameter or the like. In the process of executing the energy-saving scheme, the service flow carried by the energy-saving cell can be transferred to the cell corresponding to the co-coverage relation, and an energy-saving command is issued through the MML. The embodiment is not limited to a specific implementation.

Step S450: and monitoring related indexes, and judging whether emergency awakening is needed currently. If so, the execution of the energy saving scheme is ended.

In order to ensure normal processing of the service, user experience is improved. In the execution process of the energy-saving scheme, the network performance index of each cell in the common coverage area can be monitored, whether the current network performance index is deteriorated or the condition of high load appears is judged according to the comparison of the network performance index and a preset threshold value, and if so, the execution of the energy-saving scheme is ended.

As shown in table 3, when any of the following criteria satisfies the corresponding termination condition, it is determined that an emergency wakeup is currently required.

TABLE 3 Table 3

Index (I)	Termination condition
		Radio call completing rate	<99％
Wireless disconnection rate	More than or equal to 0.3 percent, or the fluctuation is more than or equal to 30 percent
		Success rate of handover	<99％
Wireless utilization	>50％
		RRC connection establishment success rate	<99.5％
E-RAB establishment success rate	<99.5％
		Total number of bytes for air interface service	>5G
Average utilization of uplink PRB	>55％
		Average utilization of downlink PRB	>55％
VoLTE uplink packet loss rate	＞＝1％
		VoLTE downlink packet loss rate	＞＝1％
VOLTE voice call completing rate	＜99％
		VOLTE voice call drop rate	More than or equal to 1 percent, or the fluctuation is more than or equal to 20 percent
VoLTE user switching success rate	<98％

If the emergency wake-up is executed in a certain energy-saving scheme, the energy-saving scheme is not executed in a preset time period in the future, so that user experience is ensured; in addition, when an abnormality occurs in the execution process of the energy-saving scheme (such as execution failure, activation failure, wake-up failure and the like), a responsive fault alarm can be triggered to generate a corresponding work order and send the work order to a preset processing node, so that the rapid processing of faults is facilitated.

In addition, in order to facilitate adjustment of the energy-saving scheme, etc., the energy-saving effect can be evaluated after the execution of the energy-saving scheme is completed, and a corresponding energy-saving report can be output. Wherein, the relevant information in the energy saving report may include: base station name, equipment model (bbu+rru), power saving mode (carrier off/deep sleep), power saving cell condition profile, power saving cell number, power saving station on period, power consumption seven days before power saving function is on, power consumption seven days after power saving function is on, total power saving electricity charge, total power saving function on total time length, total power saving function on time length, average power saving per hour of single cell, power saving percentage, power consumption measurement mode (network management/ammeter reading/hanging clamp flow meter/etc.), power measurement statistical range (machine room/base station/RRU).

Therefore, after the energy-saving scheme is generated, parameter tuning is performed before the energy-saving scheme is executed, so that the energy-saving effect of the energy-saving scheme is further improved; in addition, the embodiment also monitors indexes in the execution process of the energy-saving scheme, and terminates the execution of the energy-saving scheme when the need of emergency awakening is determined, thereby ensuring the normal operation of user service, realizing lossless energy saving and ensuring user experience; in addition, the embodiment can also generate a corresponding evaluation report after the energy-saving scheme is executed, so that the energy-saving scheme is convenient to optimize.
