Description

Communication method and device and storage medium

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a communication method and apparatus, and a storage medium.

Background

With the continuous development of 5G and 6G technologies, in order to meet the requirement of a large service of a user, the frequency of an access network device will evolve towards a high frequency band, for example, 3.5GHz has been used in 5G, and subsequently, devices with high frequency bands such as millimeter waves and terahertz will be accessed to the network, and meanwhile, the original high-quality low-frequency and medium-frequency bands will be upgraded to 5G and 6G frequency spectrums through spectrum migration, so that coverage will be effectively increased. However, in some scenarios with large capacity requirement changes, if high-frequency access network devices are deployed, the inter-station distance is small, the density of the access network devices (e.g., base stations) is large, the energy consumption is large, and the cost is high. Therefore, it is necessary to consider a high-low frequency coordinated access network device for more energy-saving and efficient coverage.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, "of", "corresponding" and "corresponding" may be sometimes used in combination, and it should be noted that the intended meaning is consistent when the difference is not emphasized.

For the convenience of clearly describing the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, in the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used for distinguishing the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and actions, and those skilled in the art can understand that the terms "first", "second", and the like are not limited in number or execution order.

First, technical terms involved in the present application are explained as follows:

a baseband processing unit: the English is totally called building base unit, which is called BBU for short. The BBU provides an external interface connected to a transmission device, a radio frequency device, a USB (universal serial bus) device, an external clock source, an LMT (Local Maintenance Terminal) or other feasible devices, so as to implement functions of signal transmission, automatic upgrade of base station software, clock reception and BBU Maintenance on the LMT, centrally manage the whole base station system, and complete functions of processing uplink and downlink data, signaling processing, resource management and operation Maintenance.

Illustratively, referring to fig. 1, the BBU01 is composed of three parts, a baseband backplane 04, at least one baseband board 02 and a main control board 03, wherein a slot for plugging the baseband board 02 is present in the baseband backplane 04, and the baseband board 02 is connected to the baseband backplane through the slot. The main control board 03 is connected to all the base band boards 02, and is used for controlling all the base band boards 02. In the embodiment, the at least one base band plate 02 includes a base band plate 02-1, a base band plate 02-2, a base band plate 02-3, a base band plate 02-4 and a base band plate 02-5, which may be more or less in practice.

Referring to fig. 1, each baseband board 02 is connected to one or more AAUs (active antenna unit)/RRUs (remote radio unit). The functions of the base band plate 02 include: and the processing of the modulated signal and the demodulated signal, such as encryption, decryption and the like, circuit control and the like. The signals running on the baseband board 02 are baseband signals, the frequencies of these signals are very low, and long-distance transmission is required to modulate the baseband signals to be transmitted onto radio frequency signals, and then transmit them, and therefore, the radio frequency equipment or radio frequency board (AAU or RRU) is the place for transmitting and receiving radio frequency modulated signals, and the radio frequency is much higher than the modulated signal frequency.

The main control board 03 mainly provides signaling processing and resource management functions for the baseband board. The BBU system comprises O & M (operation and maintenance) functions such as configuration management, equipment management, software management, performance monitoring, active-standby switching, alarming, logs and the like, and realizes control of each baseband board 02 in the BBU.

The radio remote unit: the English is called remote radio unit, RRU for short. The RRU is divided into 4 large modules: the device comprises an intermediate frequency module, a transceiver module, a power amplifier and a filtering module. The digital intermediate frequency module is used for modulation and demodulation, digital up-down frequency conversion, A/D conversion and the like of optical transmission; the transceiver module completes the conversion from the intermediate frequency signal to the radio frequency signal; and then the radio frequency signal is transmitted out through the antenna port by the power amplifier and the filtering module. Specifically, the RRU may enable a baseband signal to go down, undergo frequency conversion and filtering, undergo radio frequency filtering, undergo linear power amplifier, and then transmit the filtered baseband signal to the antenna feeder. And in the uplink, the received uplink signal of the user terminal is subjected to filtering, low-noise amplification, further radio frequency small signal amplification filtering and down-conversion, and then analog-to-digital conversion, digital intermediate frequency processing and the like are completed.

An active antenna unit: the English is called active antipna unit, AAU for short. In the 5G era, Massive MIMO (multiple input multiple output) technology was introduced. More and more antennas are needed, more and more feeders are needed, more feeder interfaces are needed on the RRU, and the complexity of the process is higher and higher. The added upper feed line has certain attenuation, and the attenuation affects part of the system performance. Therefore, in 5G, the RRU and the original passive antenna are integrated into a whole, and an up-to-date AAU (active antenna processing unit) is formed.

In addition, referring to fig. 2, in practice, the coverage area of the AAU as the radio frequency device is small, and the coverage area of the RRU as the radio frequency device is large. Secondly, the frequency of the AAU during communication is high, the carried service data is large, and the energy consumption is high. And when the RRU is used for communication, the frequency is lower, the coverage area is smaller, the carried service data is smaller, and the energy consumption is smaller.

Currently, due to the continuous development of 5G and 6G technologies, the frequency of the access network equipment will evolve towards a high frequency band. Meanwhile, because the carrier coverage of the high frequency band is smaller, the original high-quality low-frequency and medium-frequency bands are gradually upgraded to 5G and 6G frequency spectrums through spectrum migration in order to ensure the coverage, so that the coverage is effectively increased. However, in some scenarios with large capacity requirement changes, if high-frequency access network devices are deployed, the inter-station distance is small, the density of the access network devices (e.g., base stations) is large, the energy consumption is large, and the cost is high.

In order to solve the above problem, the present application provides a communication method, which can adjust a radio frequency device for communication on a baseband board under a BBU, and save energy consumption on the basis of ensuring user experience. The method may be applied in a system architecture as shown in fig. 1. The system can comprise: the BBU01, at least one baseband board 02 provided in the BBU01, the main control board 03 provided in the BBU01, the baseband backplane 04 provided in the BBU01, and at least one user terminal 05. Each baseband board 02 is connected to at least one radio frequency device 06, which may be an AAU or an RRU. In addition, for example, to implement the communication method provided by the present application, a communication device is further disposed in the BBU01, and the communication device may be a part of the main control board 03, or a part of the baseband backplane 04, or may also be a device separately disposed in the BBU 01. The radio frequency device 06 and the user terminal 05 are connected through wireless communication.

Illustratively, three radio frequency devices, namely, AAU06-11, AAU06-12 and RRU06-13, are connected to the baseband board 02-1 in fig. 1, three radio frequency devices, namely, AAU06-21, AAU06-22 and AAU06-23 are connected to the baseband board 02-2, and two radio frequency devices, namely, RRU06-31 and RRU06-33, are connected to the baseband board 02-3. In practice, different numbers of rf devices are connected to other baseband boards, which are not shown here.

In addition, more or fewer radio frequency devices can be connected to one baseband board, and the application is not particularly limited. In fig. 1, at least one user terminal 05 comprises a user terminal 05-1 and a user terminal 05-2 connected by an AAU06-11, and an RRU06-13 connects the user terminal 05-3 and the user terminal 05-4. In practice, other radio frequency devices may also be connected with user terminals with different numbers, and the number of the user terminals connected to each radio frequency device may be more or less, which is not specifically limited in the present application.

In an embodiment of the application, the user terminal is used for providing voice and/or data connectivity services to a user. The terminal may be referred to by different names, such as User Equipment (UE), access terminal, terminal unit, terminal station, mobile station, remote terminal, mobile device, wireless communication device, vehicular user equipment, terminal agent or terminal device, and the like. Optionally, the terminal may be various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, and computers with communication functions, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. For example, the handheld device may be a smartphone. The in-vehicle device may be an in-vehicle navigation system. The wearable device may be a smart bracelet. The computer may be a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) computer, a tablet computer, and a laptop computer.

For example, referring to fig. 3, if the communication device is disposed in the main control board 03, in order to implement the technical solution provided in the present application, the main control board 03 may be newly added with the following five modules: a baseband board flow monitoring module 031, a high-low frequency cooperation triggering module 032, a low flow processing module 033, a high flow processing module 034 and a radio frequency equipment coverage capability recording module 035.

The baseband board flow monitoring module 031 may monitor all baseband boards in the BBU01, and obtain the throughput of each baseband board in real time.

The high-low frequency cooperation triggering module 032 may determine whether the baseband board is currently in a low-flow scene or a high-flow scene according to the throughput condition of the baseband board detected by the baseband board flow monitoring module 031. When the throughput of a baseband board drops below a low-traffic threshold (e.g., 10% of the rated throughput of the baseband board), it is determined that the baseband board is in a low-traffic scenario, and the low-traffic processing module 033 is triggered to perform communication with the target radio frequency devices in the coverage area of the baseband board. When the throughput of a certain baseband board is raised to be higher than a draft traffic threshold (for example, 80% of the rated throughput of the baseband board), it is determined that the baseband board is in a high traffic scenario, and the high traffic processing module 034 is triggered to perform communication with the target radio frequency device in the coverage area of the baseband board. The coverage area of the baseband board is specifically the sum of the coverage areas of all the radio frequency devices connected with the baseband board.

The radio frequency device coverage capability recording module 035 is configured to obtain a coverage range of each radio frequency device of each baseband board in the BBU01 from a planning server of an operator to which the BBU01 belongs. For example, the coverage of the radio frequency device may be expressed by a planned location and a planned coverage radius, and the coverage of the radio frequency device obtained by the radio frequency device coverage capability recording module 035 may be as shown in table 1 below.

TABLE 1 coverage records

Device ID	Type of device	The base band plate	Site location	Radius of coverage
					1	AAU	1	<La1,Lo1>	r1
2	AAU	1	<La1,Lo1>	r2
					i	AAU	2	<Lai,Loi>	ri

Wherein La is latitude and Lo is longitude.

Based on the contents shown in fig. 1 to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication method, which is applied to a communication device in the system shown in fig. 1, where the communication device may be the main control board 03 or a part thereof, or may be the baseband backplane 04 or a part thereof. Referring to fig. 4, the method includes 401-403:

401. and acquiring the target throughput of the target baseband board.

Wherein the target baseband board is one of the at least one baseband board provided in the BBU.

In an implementation manner, the above step 401 may be implemented by the baseband board flow monitoring module 031 in the foregoing embodiment.

402. And determining the target radio frequency equipment based on the target throughput and the type of the radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board.

The type of the radio frequency device comprises a high frequency radio frequency device or a low frequency radio frequency device. In the present application, the high frequency radio frequency device may be an AAU, and the low frequency radio frequency device may be an RRU.

Because only one or more low-frequency radio frequency devices may be needed to successfully complete the communication of the user terminal within the target coverage area of the target baseband board in the case that the target throughput of the target baseband board is large. However, under the condition that the target throughput of the target baseband board is relatively low, a plurality of high-frequency radio frequency devices may be needed to successfully complete the communication of the user terminal within the target coverage range of the target baseband board. Therefore, the target radio frequency device needs to be determined based on the target throughput and the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board, so that the target baseband board can use the target radio frequency device to communicate with the user terminal in the target coverage area of the target baseband board subsequently.

In some realizable manners, the above 402 steps may be implemented by the aforementioned high and low frequency cooperation triggering module 032, low traffic processing module 033, high traffic processing module 034 and radio frequency equipment coverage capability recording module 035.

403. And communicating with the user terminal in the target coverage range of the target baseband board by using the target radio frequency equipment.

And the target coverage range is the sum of the coverage ranges of all the radio frequency devices connected with the target baseband board.

Based on the technical solution provided by the present application, for a BBU including at least one baseband board, the present application first obtains a target throughput of any one of the baseband boards (i.e., a target baseband board). Because the throughput is the size of the traffic that can reflect the current need of the baseband board to carry, the greater the throughput, the more the target baseband board needs to carry and process the traffic data, and the smaller the throughput, the less the target baseband board needs to carry and process the traffic data. The coverage, throughput and energy consumption of different types of radio frequency devices connected to the baseband board are different, so the target throughput and which radio frequency device the baseband board uses in the current unit time are closely related. Based on this, the target rf device finally used for communication within the coverage (i.e., the target coverage) of the target baseband board may then be determined according to the target throughput and the type of rf device connected to the target baseband board. Finally, the target radio frequency equipment can be used for communicating with the user terminal in the target coverage area. It can be seen that this application provides high technical scheme, because the factor that has the influence to what kind of radio frequency equipment of use under the baseband board carries out this result of communication has been gathered to the multiple, carries out considering of target radio frequency equipment, so more accord with actual demand, because the radio frequency equipment of communication on the baseband board under can the reasonable adjustment BBU, energy saving consumes on the basis of guaranteeing user experience.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 5 in conjunction with FIG. 4, the step 402 may include S1-S9:

and S1, judging whether the target throughput is smaller than the first throughput threshold value.

In the case where it is determined that the target throughput is less than the first throughput threshold, the step S2 is performed. Wherein the first throughput threshold is a first preset percentage of a rated throughput of the target baseband board. Illustratively, the first preset percentage may be 10%. In the present application, the rated throughput is the highest throughput that can be borne by the radio frequency device tested before the radio frequency device leaves the factory.

In a possible implementation manner in the present application, the throughput may include an uplink throughput and a downlink throughput, for example, the target throughput may include a target uplink throughput and a target downlink throughput, and the throughput threshold is the same. When the target throughput is compared with the first throughput threshold, the magnitude relationship between the target uplink throughput and the first uplink throughput threshold and the magnitude relationship between the target downlink throughput and the first downlink throughput threshold need to be simultaneously compared, and only when the target uplink throughput is smaller than the first uplink throughput threshold and the target downlink throughput is smaller than the first downlink throughput threshold, the target throughput can be considered to be smaller than the first throughput threshold. The similar contents are the same, and the description is omitted later. Of course, there may be any other practical comparison method, and the present application is not limited to this.

The step S1 may not be actually present, and the communication apparatus may execute the step S2 when determining that the target throughput is smaller than the first throughput threshold. In addition, in practice, the case where the target throughput is equal to the first throughput threshold may be classified as the case where the target throughput is greater than the first throughput threshold, or may be classified as the case where the target throughput is less than the first throughput threshold. Here, the case that the target throughput is equal to the first throughput threshold is classified as the case that the target throughput is smaller than the first throughput threshold is taken as an example, and the case that the target throughput is larger than the first throughput threshold in practice is specifically classified as which case is determined according to the practice, and the present application is not particularly limited.

In an implementation manner, the step S1 can be implemented by the aforementioned high and low frequency cooperation triggering module 032.

And S2, judging whether the target baseband board is connected with the high-frequency radio frequency equipment.

Executing S3 under the condition that the target baseband is not connected with the high-frequency radio frequency equipment, namely the target baseband board is only connected with the low-frequency radio frequency equipment; in the case where it is determined that the target baseband is connected with the high frequency radio frequency device, S4 is performed.

The above step S2 may not be present in practice, and the communication apparatus may execute the step S3 when determining that the target throughput is less than the first throughput threshold and the high frequency rf device is not connected to the target baseband board, and execute the step S4 when determining that the target throughput is less than the first throughput threshold and the high frequency rf device is connected to the target baseband board.

In one implementation, the above-described step S2 may be implemented by the aforementioned low-flow processing module 033.

And S3, all the radio frequency devices connected with the target baseband board are determined as target radio frequency devices.

When the target throughput of the target baseband board is smaller than the first throughput threshold, the target baseband board may be considered to be currently in a low-traffic scene, and the service data to be carried by the target baseband board is less, so that only the low-frequency radio frequency device may be used for communication. Therefore, at this time, under the condition that it is determined that the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board are all low-frequency radio frequency devices, all the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board may be determined as target radio frequency devices. That is, the subsequent target baseband board will use all the radio frequency devices to which it is connected to communicate with the user terminals within its target coverage area. Therefore, the use experience of all the user terminals corresponding to the target baseband board can be ensured.

Further, in some embodiments, if the sum of the standard throughputs of all the low-frequency rf devices connected to the target baseband board is greater than the target throughput, it indicates that the communication capabilities of all the low-frequency rf devices connected to the target baseband board have exceeded the requirements of the target baseband board. Therefore, at this time, for further energy saving, the communication capability of the low-frequency radio frequency device connected with the target baseband board can be selectively and partially switched off according to the difference value of the sum of the target throughput and the standard throughput of all the low-frequency radio frequency devices connected with the target baseband board. For example, if the target throughput is 50 and the standard throughputs of the two low-frequency rf devices a and B connected to the target baseband board are 50 and 40, respectively, the communication capability of a may be turned off by 80% or less, the communication capability of B may be turned off completely or nearly completely, or a and B may be turned off partially so that the sum of the standard throughputs corresponding to the remaining communication capabilities of a and B is 50 or slightly greater than 50. The specific shutdown strategy is determined according to actual requirements, and the application is not particularly limited.

In the present application, the standard throughput is an average throughput that can be borne under a normal working condition and tested before the radio frequency device leaves a factory.

In one implementation, the above-described step S3 may be implemented by the aforementioned low-flow processing module 033.

And S4, judging whether the target baseband board is connected with a low-frequency radio frequency device.

In the case where it is determined that the target baseband board is connected with the low frequency radio frequency device, the step S5 is performed, and in the case where it is determined that the target baseband board is not connected with the low frequency radio frequency device, the step S8 is performed.

The step S4 may not be present in practice, and the communication apparatus may execute the step S5 when determining that the target throughput is less than the first throughput threshold and the high frequency rf device and the low frequency rf device are connected to the target baseband board, and execute the step S8 when determining that the target throughput is less than the first throughput threshold and the high frequency rf device is connected only to the target baseband board.

Of course, the above-mentioned sequence of determining what kind of radio frequency devices are connected to the target baseband board is only a feasible example, and in practice, the type of the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board may be determined at one time; or judging whether the target baseband board is connected with the low-frequency radio frequency equipment or not, and then judging whether the target baseband board is connected with the high-frequency radio frequency equipment or not. The present application is not particularly limited as long as the type of the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board can be reasonably determined.

And S5, acquiring the target coverage and the coverage of all low-frequency radio frequency devices connected with the target baseband board.

The target coverage in S5 may be obtained by fusing coverage of all radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board obtained by the communication device.

The S5 step is followed by the S6-S7 steps, and the S6-S7 steps can be S6A-S7A steps or S6B-S7B steps.

In one implementation, the step S5 can be implemented by the rf coverage capability recording module 035.

S6A, if it is determined that the combination of the coverage areas of at least one first low-frequency radio frequency device is present and the combination includes more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area, determining a first high-frequency turn-off strategy according to the target throughput and the standard throughputs of all the first low-frequency radio frequency devices.

The first low-frequency radio frequency equipment belongs to low-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with a target baseband board; the first high-frequency turn-off strategy is used for indicating the turn-off degree of the communication capability of the high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board. In this application, the communication capability of the radio frequency device may be turned off by limiting a communication resource corresponding to the radio frequency device, for example, by turning off a part of Resource Blocks (RBs) or a slot or a Resource Element (RE), which is any feasible manner. For example, the second preset percentage may be 90%.

Specifically, after the implementation of the first high-frequency shutdown strategy, it is necessary to enable the communication capability of the target baseband board connection not to completely shut down the throughput that can be carried by the high-frequency radio frequency device, and the sum of the standard throughput of the at least one first low-frequency radio frequency device is greater than or equal to the target throughput. Therefore, the service data of all the user terminals in the coverage area of the target baseband board can be processed by the target baseband board. The throughput that can be carried by the high-frequency radio frequency device whose communication capability is not completely turned off may be the standard throughput that can be carried by the high-frequency radio frequency device after the turn-off.

Illustratively, the target throughput of the target baseband board is 8, the target baseband board is connected with one high-frequency radio frequency device a and two low-frequency radio frequency devices B and C, the standard throughput of a is 100, the standard throughput of B is 5, and the standard throughput of C is 10.

In a possible case, if the coverage of C is greater than the second preset percentage of the target coverage, it can be seen that the standard throughput of C itself can be loaded with the target throughput, so the first high-frequency shutdown strategy may be to completely shut down the communication capability of a, i.e., to shut down a.

In another possible case, if the coverage of B is greater than the second preset percentage of the target coverage, it can be seen that the standard throughput of C itself cannot fully bear the target throughput, so the first high-frequency shutdown strategy may be to partially shut down the communication capability of a, for example, 93%, and the bearable throughput of a after partial shutdown is 10. Of course, what degree of the turn-off may be specifically determined according to the capability of the actual medium-high frequency rf device itself, for example, if the actual medium-high frequency rf device only supports the turn-off of the communication capability to 90% of the full communication capability at the minimum, in the above case, only a may be turned off by 90%.

Of course, in most cases, in a case where the target baseband board is in a low-traffic scene and there is at least one low-frequency rf device capable of covering more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area among the low-frequency rf devices connected to the target baseband board, the at least one low-frequency rf device may have a high probability of being able to fully bear the target throughput, so in some embodiments, the step S6A may be implemented to directly turn off all high-frequency rf devices of the target baseband board and determine the at least one low-frequency rf device as the target rf device.

S7A, the high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board is turned off according to the first high-frequency turn-off strategy, and at least one first low-frequency radio frequency equipment and available high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board are determined to be the target radio frequency equipment.

The available high-frequency radio frequency equipment is high-frequency radio frequency equipment with the communication capability not completely turned off.

In addition, if there is actually a combination of coverage areas of more than one group of at least one first low-frequency radio frequency device, which may include more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area, the group of at least one first low-frequency radio frequency device with the lowest load is determined as the target radio frequency device. For example, if the target baseband board has three low frequency rf devices A, B and C connected, where the sum of the coverage areas of a and B is greater than or equal to a second predetermined percentage of the target coverage area, and the sum of the coverage areas of B and C is also greater than or equal to a second predetermined percentage of the target coverage area. Determining A, B and C load conditions, and if determining that the remaining available load capacity of A and B is larger than that of B and C, determining A and B as the target radio frequency device. The available load may be a throughput that can be carried by the currently idle communication capability of the radio frequency device, for example, if the standard throughput of a certain radio frequency device is 100, and the communication capability is idle by 50%, the available load is 50.

It should be noted that, because turning off the low-frequency rf device cannot save much power consumption, in step S7A, all low-frequency devices connected to the target baseband board and available high-frequency rf devices connected to the target baseband board may be determined as the target rf devices. Thus, the signaling consumption of the communication device for controlling the radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board is reduced.

In one implementation, the above-described steps S6A and S7A may be implemented by the aforementioned low-traffic processing module 033.

Based on the above technical solutions corresponding to the steps S6A and S7A, when the target throughput of the target baseband board is less than the first throughput threshold, it may be determined that the target baseband board is currently in a low-traffic scene, and the service data to be carried by the target baseband board is less, and the target baseband board may mainly use low-frequency radio frequency devices for communication. Further, in the case that the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board includes a low frequency radio frequency device and a high frequency radio frequency device, in order to ensure that all user terminals within the target coverage area of the target baseband board can access the network, normal communication failure due to no coverage of the radio frequency device is avoided. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether to turn off the high-frequency rf device of the target baseband board to achieve the purpose of saving energy when it is determined that a combination of coverage areas of at least one first low-frequency rf device exists in the low-frequency rf devices connected to the target baseband board and may include more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area. Further, in order to prevent the target throughput from being larger than the standard throughput of the at least one first low frequency radio frequency device, some user terminals in the target coverage area cannot normally communicate. It is also necessary to determine the first high frequency turn-off strategy based on the target throughput and the standard throughput of the at least one first low frequency radio frequency device. Finally, after the communication capability of the high-frequency radio frequency device of the target baseband board is shut down by using the first high-frequency shut-down strategy, both the available high-frequency radio frequency device in which the communication capability is not completely shut down and the at least one first low-frequency radio frequency device can be determined as the target radio frequency device. That is, the subsequent target baseband board will use all the radio frequency devices to which it is connected to communicate with the user terminals within its target coverage area. Therefore, the energy consumption can be saved on the basis of ensuring the normal communication of all the user terminals corresponding to the target baseband board.

S6B, if it is determined that the combination of the coverage areas of the at least one first low-frequency radio frequency device does not include more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area, acquiring the coverage area of the low-frequency radio frequency device connected with the first baseband board.

The first baseband board is a baseband board which is connected with low-frequency radio frequency equipment and is arranged in at least one baseband board except the target baseband board.

And S7B, if it is determined that the combination of the coverage ranges of the at least one second low-frequency radio frequency device connected with the second baseband board includes more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage range, closing the high-frequency radio frequency device connected with the target baseband board, and determining the at least one second low-frequency radio frequency device and the low-frequency radio frequency device connected with the target baseband board as the target radio frequency device.

Wherein the second base band plate belongs to the first base band plate.

Although the combination of the coverage areas of the at least one second low-frequency rf device connected to the second baseband board may include more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area, since these second low-frequency rf devices also need to be responsible for communication of the user terminals within the coverage area of the second baseband board, here, in order to ensure that the services of the user terminals within the target coverage area can be normally used, it is necessary to determine both the at least one second low-frequency rf device and the low-frequency rf device connected to the target baseband board as the target rf devices, so as to ensure that most of the user terminals within the target coverage area can access the network to normally use the services. Of course, in practice, if it is determined that the idle unused communication capability of the at least one second low-frequency radio frequency device may be used for communication of the majority of the user terminals in the target area (for example, the available throughput corresponding to the idle communication capability of the at least one second low-frequency radio frequency device is greater than a preset percentage (for example, 90%) of the first throughput, which may be a product of the target throughput and an occupation ratio of the target area to the target coverage area), the target baseband board may also be turned off as a whole, that is, the low-frequency radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board is no longer used as the target radio frequency device. Wherein the target area is an area within the target coverage and overlapping with the sum of the coverage of the at least one second low-frequency radio-frequency device.

Of course, in some embodiments, it may also be considered that the sum of the throughputs currently affordable by the at least one second low-frequency radio frequency device and the low-frequency radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board is less than the target throughput, and the high-frequency radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board may also be not turned off, but the communication capability of the high-frequency radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board may be partially turned off in combination with a magnitude relationship between the sum of the throughputs currently affordable by the at least one second low-frequency radio frequency device and the low-frequency radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board and the target throughput. The specific turn-off degree may be determined by referring to the related expression after the foregoing step S6A, and details are not repeated here. Therefore, the service use experience of the user terminal in the target coverage range can be further ensured.

In addition, if it is determined that there is neither a combination of coverage areas of at least one first low-frequency radio frequency device included more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area nor a combination of coverage areas of at least one second low-frequency radio frequency device connected to the second baseband board included more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area, the high-frequency shutdown strategy for the high-frequency radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board may be determined based on the standard throughput and the magnitude of the target throughput of all low-frequency radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board with reference to the expression in S6A. And then, after the high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board is turned off by using the high-frequency turn-off strategy, determining all the radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board as target radio frequency equipment. Therefore, under the condition of ensuring the normal use of the services of all the user terminals in the target coverage range, a certain energy-saving effect can be achieved.

In one implementation, the above-described steps S6B and S7B may be implemented by the aforementioned low-traffic processing module 033.

Based on the above technical solutions corresponding to the steps S6B and S7B, when the target throughput of the target baseband board is less than the first throughput threshold, it may be determined that the target baseband board is currently in a low-traffic scene, and the service data to be carried by the target baseband board is less, and the target baseband board may mainly use low-frequency radio frequency devices for communication. Further, in the case that the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board include a low frequency radio frequency device and a high frequency radio frequency device, in order to ensure that all user terminals within the target coverage area of the target baseband board can access the network, normal communication cannot be performed because the user terminals are not covered by the radio frequency devices. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether to turn off the high-frequency rf device of the target baseband board to achieve the purpose of saving energy when it is determined that a combination of coverage areas of at least one first low-frequency rf device exists in the low-frequency rf devices connected to the target baseband board and may include more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area.

Further, if there is no combination of coverage areas of at least one first low-frequency radio frequency device, which may include more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area, it is necessary to search for a second baseband board, which is connected with a combination of coverage areas including more than the second preset percentage of the target coverage area, from other baseband boards. Then, while all the high-frequency rf devices of the target baseband board are turned off, both the at least one second low-frequency rf device and the low-frequency rf device connected to the target baseband board may be determined as the target rf device. That is, the subsequent target baseband board will communicate with the user terminals within the target coverage area using at least one second low frequency radio frequency device and the low frequency radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board. Therefore, the energy consumption can be saved on the basis of ensuring the normal communication (or the service use of all the user terminals) of all the user terminals corresponding to the target baseband board.

And S8, determining a second high-frequency turn-off strategy according to the target throughput and the standard throughputs of all the high-frequency radio frequency devices connected with the target baseband board.

The second high-frequency turn-off strategy is used for indicating the turn-off degree of the communication capacity of the high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board; the second high-frequency turn-off strategy is a high-frequency turn-off strategy which enables the sum of available throughputs to be closest to the target throughput after execution in all selectable high-frequency turn-off strategies; the selectable high-frequency turn-off strategy is a high-frequency turn-off strategy which is executed to enable the sum of the available throughputs to be larger than or equal to the target throughput; the sum of the available throughputs is the sum of throughputs which can be currently carried by all high-frequency radio frequency devices connected by the target baseband board.

Illustratively, taking the target throughput of the target baseband board as 40, the target baseband board connects three high-frequency radio frequency devices A, B and C, the standard throughput of a is 50, the standard throughput of B is 50, and the standard throughput of C is 100 as an example.

In order to guarantee the service usage of all the user terminals in the target coverage, in a realizable manner, the second high-frequency turn-off strategy may be to turn off the communication capabilities of A, B and C by 80%, so that the available throughputs of a and B are both 10 and the available throughput of C is 20. The turn-off degree of A, B and C may be smaller so that the sum of the available throughputs corresponding to the target baseband boards is slightly larger than the target throughput. Wherein, the available throughput is the current bearable throughput, and the following same principles are adopted.

In another implementation, the degree of switching off between A, B and C may be different, for example, a is switched off by 90%, B is switched off by 80%, and C is switched off by 75%, so that a has a remaining communication capacity corresponding to an available throughput of 5, B has a remaining communication capacity corresponding to an available throughput of 10, and C has a remaining communication capacity corresponding to an available throughput of 25. Of course, other feasible turning-off degrees are also possible, as long as the sum of the available throughputs corresponding to the target baseband board is ensured to be equal to or slightly larger than the target throughput after the three parts are turned off.

Of course, what degree of the turn-off may be specifically determined according to the capability of the actual medium-high frequency rf device itself, for example, if the actual medium-high frequency rf device only supports the turn-off of the communication capability to 90% of the full communication capability at the minimum, in the above case, only a may be turned off by 90%.

And S9, turning off the high-frequency radio frequency devices connected with the target baseband board according to the second high-frequency turning-off strategy, and determining all the available high-frequency radio frequency devices connected with the target baseband board as the target radio frequency devices.

In one implementation, the steps S8 and S9 described above may be implemented by the low-traffic processing module 033 described previously.

Based on the above technical solutions corresponding to the step S8 and the step S9, when the target throughput of the target baseband board is smaller than the first throughput threshold, it may be determined that the target baseband board is currently in a low-traffic scene, and the service data to be carried by the target baseband board is less, and the target baseband board may mainly use low-frequency radio frequency devices for communication. However, since all the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board are high frequency radio frequency devices, the high frequency radio frequency devices need to be partially turned off for the purpose of energy saving, so that the communication capability of the high frequency radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board is weakened to the extent that the sum of the available throughputs is equal to or slightly greater than the target throughput. For this purpose, it is necessary to determine a second high-frequency shutdown strategy that can meet the above-mentioned objective, according to a target throughput and a standard throughput of all high-frequency radio frequency devices to which the target baseband board is connected. And then, after the communication capability of the high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board is partially cut off according to the second high-frequency cutting-off strategy, determining all the high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board as target radio frequency equipment. That is, the subsequent target baseband board will use all the high frequency rf devices connected to it to communicate with the user terminals within the target coverage area. Therefore, because the high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board still works and only part of communication capacity is cut off, the energy consumption can be saved on the basis of ensuring normal communication (or service use of all user terminals) of all user terminals corresponding to the target baseband board.

In practice, the degree of partial shutdown of the communication capability of the high-frequency radio frequency device before shutdown is limited, for example, only 90% of the shutdown is possible at most. In this scenario, under the condition that the target baseband board is only connected with the high-frequency radio frequency device, the determined second high-frequency turn-off strategy may exist, so that the turn-off degree of the communication capability of all the high-frequency radio frequency devices reaches the maximum turn-off degree. Then, if the sum of the available throughputs of all the high-frequency radio frequency devices exceeds the target throughput more than much, it indicates that, for the user terminal in the target coverage area of the target baseband board, the throughput that the target baseband board can carry is still too large, and the utilization rate of the energy consumption is not high. Based on this, in other embodiments, with reference to fig. 6 in combination with fig. 5, after the step of S8, the step 402 may further include steps S10 and S11:

and S10, if the difference between the sum of the available throughputs and the target throughput is greater than a preset threshold value after the high-frequency radio-frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board is turned off according to the second high-frequency turn-off strategy, acquiring the target coverage range and the coverage range of the low-frequency radio-frequency equipment connected with the first baseband board.

The first baseband board is a baseband board which is connected with low-frequency radio frequency equipment in the at least one baseband board except the target baseband board.

S11, if it is determined that there is a combination of coverage areas of at least one third low-frequency rf device connected to the third baseband board, where the combination includes more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area, turning off all the rf devices connected to the target baseband board, and determining that the at least one third low-frequency rf device is the target rf device.

In a possible implementation, the above steps S10 and S11 can be implemented by the low traffic processing module 033 and the rf coverage capability recording module 035.

Based on the above technical solutions corresponding to the step S10 and the step S11, when the target throughput of the target baseband board is less than the first throughput threshold, it may be determined that the target baseband board is currently in a low traffic scene, and the service data to be carried by the target baseband board is less, and only low-frequency radio frequency devices may be mainly used for communication. However, if all the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board are high frequency radio frequency devices, and even if all the high frequency radio frequency devices are turned off to the maximum feasible turn-off degree, the sum of the available throughputs corresponding to the target baseband board is still much larger than the target throughput, it is not energy-saving to use the high frequency radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board to communicate with the user terminal in the target coverage area. So for better energy saving it is necessary to select from the other baseband boards in the BBU a combination of the coverage of at least one third low frequency radio frequency device to which it is connected, including baseband boards above a second preset percentage of the target coverage, i.e. the third baseband board. Since the target baseband board itself needs to process less traffic data, the target baseband board can be turned off and at least one third low frequency rf device can be used as the target rf device to communicate with the user terminal in the target coverage area. Therefore, when the target baseband board is turned off to save energy, the low-frequency radio frequency devices of other baseband boards can be used for bearing the communication of the user terminals in the target coverage area, so that the energy consumption can be saved on the basis of ensuring the normal communication (or the service use of all the user terminals) of most of the user terminals corresponding to the target baseband board.

In the specific embodiment of fig. 5 and fig. 6, the adjustment of the radio frequency device of the baseband board in the low-traffic scenario is mainly described, and the adjustment of the radio frequency device of the baseband board in the high-traffic scenario is described below.

Referring to fig. 7 in conjunction with fig. 5, after the step S1 is executed, if it is determined that the target throughput is not less than the first throughput threshold, the step 402 further includes X1-X11:

and X1, judging whether the target throughput is larger than a second throughput threshold value.

In the event that it is determined that the target throughput is greater than the second throughput threshold, performing an X2 step; and under the condition that the target throughput is determined to be not greater than the second throughput threshold, not performing any processing on the target baseband board and the radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board. The second throughput threshold is a third preset percentage of the rated throughput of the target baseband board, and the third preset percentage is larger than the first preset percentage. For example, the third preset percentage may be 90%.

The above-described X1 step may not be present in practice, and the communication apparatus may execute the X2 step when determining that the target throughput is greater than the second throughput threshold. In addition, in practice, the case where the target throughput is equal to the second throughput threshold may be classified as the case where the target throughput is greater than the second throughput threshold, or may be classified as the case where the target throughput is less than the second throughput threshold. Here, the case that the target throughput is equal to the second throughput threshold is classified as the case that the target throughput is smaller than the second throughput threshold is taken as an example, and the case that the target throughput is larger than the second throughput threshold in practice is specifically classified as which case is determined according to the practice, and the application is not particularly limited.

In an implementation manner, the above-mentioned X1 step can be implemented by the aforementioned high and low frequency cooperation triggering module 032.

And X2, judging whether the target baseband board is connected with a low-frequency radio frequency device.

Executing X3 under the condition that the target baseband is determined not to be connected with the low-frequency radio frequency equipment, namely the target baseband board is only connected with the high-frequency radio frequency equipment; in case it is determined that the target baseband is connected with a low frequency radio frequency device, X4 is performed.

The above-mentioned X2 step may not be present in practice, and the communication apparatus may execute the X3 step when it is determined that the target throughput is greater than the second throughput threshold and the low-frequency rf device is not connected to the target baseband board, and execute the X4 step when it is determined that the target throughput is greater than the first throughput threshold and the low-frequency rf device is connected to the target baseband board.

In an implementation manner, the above-mentioned step of X2 can be implemented by the aforementioned high-traffic processing module 034.

And X3, all the radio frequency devices connected with the target baseband board are determined as target radio frequency devices.

When the target throughput of the target baseband board is greater than the second throughput threshold, it may be considered that the target baseband board is currently in a high-traffic scenario, and the service data to be carried by the target baseband board is more, and multiple high-frequency radio frequency devices need to be used for communication. Therefore, at this time, when it is determined that the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board are all high-frequency radio frequency devices, all the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board may be determined as target radio frequency devices. That is, the subsequent target baseband board will use all the radio frequency devices to which it is connected to communicate with the user terminals within its target coverage area. Therefore, the use experience of all the user terminals corresponding to the target baseband board can be ensured.

In an implementation manner, the above-mentioned step of X3 can be implemented by the aforementioned high-traffic processing module 034.

And X4, judging whether the target baseband board is connected with a high-frequency radio frequency device.

The X5 step is performed in the case where it is determined that the target baseband board is connected with the high frequency radio frequency device, and the X9 step is performed in the case where it is determined that the target baseband board is not connected with the high frequency radio frequency device.

In practice, the 4024 step described above may not be present, and the communication apparatus may execute the X5 step when it is determined that the target throughput is greater than the second throughput threshold and the high-frequency rf device and the low-frequency rf device are connected to the target baseband board, and execute the X9 step when it is determined that the target throughput is greater than the second throughput threshold and only the high-frequency rf device is connected to the target baseband board.

Of course, the above-mentioned sequence of determining what kind of radio frequency devices are connected to the target baseband board is only a feasible example, and in practice, the type of the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board may be determined at one time; or judging whether the target baseband board is connected with the high-frequency radio frequency equipment or not, and then judging whether the target baseband board is connected with the high-frequency radio frequency equipment or not. The present application is not particularly limited as long as the type of the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board can be reasonably determined.

And X5, acquiring the coverage of the target and the coverage of all high-frequency radio frequency devices connected with the target baseband board.

The X5 may actually be obtained by fusing the coverage areas of all the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board obtained by the communication apparatus.

The X6 step or the X7 step is performed after the X5 step.

In one implementation, the X5 step can be performed by the rf coverage capability recording module 035 as described above.

And X6, if the combination of the coverage ranges of the plurality of first high-frequency radio frequency devices is determined to exist and the combination includes more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage range, closing the low-frequency radio frequency devices connected with the target baseband board, and determining all the plurality of first high-frequency radio frequency devices as the target radio frequency devices.

The first high-frequency radio frequency equipment belongs to high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with a target baseband board.

Specifically, in order to further save energy, the high-frequency rf devices connected to the target baseband board other than the plurality of first high-frequency rf devices are all turned off. Certainly, because the target baseband board is currently in a high-flow scene, in order to avoid a sudden increase in subsequent flow, all the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board may be turned on as target radio frequency devices, so as to better ensure user experience.

Based on the technical scheme corresponding to the step X6, when the target throughput of the target baseband board is greater than the second throughput threshold, it may be determined that the target baseband board is currently in a high-traffic scenario, and the service data to be carried by the target baseband board is more, and it is only necessary to use multiple high-frequency radio frequency devices for communication to ensure the use of the user terminal in the target coverage area. Further, in the case that the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board includes a low frequency radio frequency device and a high frequency radio frequency device, in order to ensure that most user terminals within the target coverage range of the target baseband board can access the network, the situation that normal communication cannot be performed due to the fact that the user terminals are not covered by the radio frequency device is avoided. Therefore, it is required to use the at least one first high-frequency radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board as the target radio frequency device when it is determined that the combination of the coverage areas of the at least one first high-frequency radio frequency device exists in the high-frequency radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board, and the combination may include more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area. That is, the subsequent target baseband board will use at least one first high frequency radio frequency device to which it is connected to communicate with the user terminals within its target coverage area. Therefore, normal communication of most of user terminals corresponding to the target baseband board can be ensured.

And X7, if it is determined that the combination of the coverage ranges of the plurality of first high-frequency radio frequency devices does not exist and the combination of the coverage ranges of the first high-frequency radio frequency devices does not include more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage range, acquiring the coverage range of the high-frequency radio frequency device connected with the fourth baseband board.

The fourth baseband board is at least one baseband board, and the baseband board of the high-frequency radio frequency equipment is connected with the target baseband board.

And X8, if the coverage area of the second high-frequency radio frequency equipment comprises more than a fourth preset percentage of the target coverage area, determining all the radio frequency equipment and the second high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board as target radio frequency equipment.

And the second high-frequency radio frequency equipment belongs to the high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the fourth baseband board. Illustratively, the fourth preset percentage may be 20%.

Since the coverage area of the high-frequency radio frequency device is relatively small, when the high-frequency radio frequency device which needs to be connected with other baseband boards bears a part of the target throughput of the target baseband board, the high-frequency radio frequency device can be determined as the target radio frequency device by determining that the coverage area of a certain high-frequency radio frequency device under other baseband boards includes more than a fourth preset percentage of the target coverage area.

In addition, since the high frequency rf devices of other baseband boards are unlikely to have a combination of multiple high frequency rf devices that can cover most of the target coverage area, all the rf devices connected to the target baseband board should be turned on as target devices to ensure normal communication of all the user terminals in the target coverage area.

In addition, if it is determined that there is no combination of coverage areas of the plurality of first high-frequency radio frequency devices, including more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area, and there is no combination of coverage areas of the second high-frequency radio frequency devices, including more than a fourth preset percentage of the target coverage area, then when all the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board are turned on as the target radio frequency devices, communication resources are allocated to each service according to the priority of the service carried by the radio frequency devices connected to the target baseband board. For example, if a certain radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board carries service 1, service 2, and service 3, and the priority of service 1 is greater than that of service 3 and greater than that of service 2, then communication resources (e.g., RB, RE, etc.) are preferentially allocated to service 1, then communication resources are allocated to service 3, and finally communication resources are allocated to service 2. Of course, any other feasible allocation method may be used as long as it is ensured that the communication resources allocated under the same condition of the service with the higher priority are also larger.

In an implementation manner, the steps X6-X8 can be implemented by the aforementioned high-throughput processing module 034.

Based on the technical solutions corresponding to the above-mentioned X7 step and X8 step, when the target throughput of the target baseband board is greater than the second throughput threshold, it may be determined that the target baseband board is currently in a high traffic scenario, and there are more service data to be carried, and it is only necessary to use multiple high-frequency radio frequency devices for communication to ensure the use of the user terminal in the target coverage area. Further, in the case that the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board includes a low frequency radio frequency device and a high frequency radio frequency device, in order to ensure that most user terminals within the target coverage range of the target baseband board can normally communicate, the radio frequency device does not cover the user terminals, which results in abnormal communication. It is necessary to determine whether there is a combination of coverage areas of at least one first high frequency radio frequency device among the high frequency radio frequency devices to which the target baseband board is connected, which may include more than a second preset percentage of the target coverage area. If the high-frequency radio frequency device does not exist, it is indicated that the high-frequency radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board may not fully bear the target throughput, so at this time, it needs to be considered whether the high-frequency radio frequency device connected to another baseband board in the BBU can cover more than a certain range of the target coverage range. If it is determined that the coverage area of the third high-frequency radio frequency device in the high-frequency radio frequency devices connected to the other baseband boards includes more than a fourth preset percentage of the target coverage area, the third high-frequency radio frequency device and the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board may be both used as the target radio frequency device. So as to ensure the normal communication of the user terminal in the subsequent target coverage.

And X9, acquiring the coverage of the target and the coverage of the high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the fourth baseband board.

In one implementation, the X9 step can be performed by the rf coverage capability recording module 035 as described above.

The X10 step or the X11 step is performed after the X9 step.

And X10, if the coverage area of the third high-frequency radio frequency equipment comprises more than a fourth preset percentage of the target coverage area, determining all the low-frequency radio frequency equipment and the third high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board as target radio frequency equipment.

And the third high-frequency radio frequency equipment belongs to the high-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the fourth baseband board.

Based on the technical solutions corresponding to the above-mentioned X9 step and X10 step, when the target throughput of the target baseband board is greater than the second throughput threshold, it may be determined that the target baseband board is currently in a high traffic scenario, and there are more service data to be carried, and it is only necessary to use multiple high-frequency radio frequency devices for communication to ensure the use of the user terminal in the target coverage area. Further, in the case that the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board only includes the low frequency radio frequency device, the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board may not fully bear the target throughput, so that support of the high frequency radio frequency devices of other baseband boards is required to ensure normal communication of the user terminal within the target coverage area. Specifically, at this time, it needs to be determined whether the high-frequency radio frequency devices connected to other baseband boards in the BBU can cover more than a certain range of the target coverage area. If it is determined that the coverage area of the third high-frequency radio frequency device in the high-frequency radio frequency devices connected to the other baseband boards includes more than a fourth preset percentage of the target coverage area, it is determined that the third high-frequency radio frequency devices and the low-frequency radio frequency device connected to the target radio frequency device can jointly bear the target throughput. At this time, all the low-frequency radio frequency devices connected between the third high-frequency radio frequency devices and the target baseband board may be used as target radio frequency devices, so as to ensure normal communication of the user terminal in the subsequent target coverage area.

And X11, if the third high-frequency radio frequency equipment does not exist, determining all low-frequency radio frequency equipment connected with the target baseband board as target radio frequency equipment, and limiting the current of all services according to the priority of all services borne by the target baseband board.

The current limiting may be performed on all services according to the priority of all services carried by the target baseband board, specifically, communication resources are allocated to each service according to the priority of the service carried by the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board. The specific allocation manner may be determined according to actual requirements, and the present application is not particularly limited.

Based on the technical solutions corresponding to the above-mentioned X9 step and X11 step, when the target throughput of the target baseband board is greater than the second throughput threshold, it may be determined that the target baseband board is currently in a high traffic scenario, and there are more service data to be carried, and it is only necessary to use multiple high-frequency radio frequency devices for communication to ensure the use of the user terminal in the target coverage area. Further, in the case that the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board only includes the low frequency radio frequency device, the radio frequency device connected to the target baseband board may not fully bear the target throughput, so that support of the high frequency radio frequency devices of other baseband boards is required to ensure normal communication of the user terminal within the target coverage area. Specifically, at this time, it needs to be determined whether the high-frequency radio frequency devices connected to other baseband boards in the BBU can cover more than a certain range of the target coverage area. If it is determined that the coverage area of the third high-frequency radio frequency device does not exist in the high-frequency radio frequency devices connected to the other baseband boards includes more than a fourth preset percentage of the target coverage area, then only the current of all services can be limited according to the priority of all services carried by the target baseband board, so as to ensure that all user terminals can communicate as far as possible.
