如图 la所示, 在宏基站 A覆盖范围内的热点区域部署以容量扩展为目的的 热点站 B、 C和 D, 则宏基站 A为覆盖站, 而热点站 C和 D为容量站; 如图 lb 所示, 在频点 fl上的基站 F为某一区域提供基本的网络覆盖, 异制式或同制式 异频点 f2的基站 E与基站 F共站址, 进行容量增强, 则基站 F为覆盖站, 基站 E 为容量站。
上述为了满足高容量和高数据率需求部署覆盖站和大量容量站,这样就加 剧了能量消耗, 则无线网络节能是一个迫在眉睫的问题。
现有的一种基站节能方法包括: 如果基站的负荷低于某个阈值, 管理系统 通知该基站执行第一预定操作, 即自行进入完全睡眠状态或自行关闭; 如果该 基站相同覆盖邻区的负荷高于某个阈值,管理系统通知该基站执行第二预定操 作, 即自行唤醒或自行开启。 但是在实际网络中, 由于用户分布不均匀, 基站 完全唤醒或开启后可能并不能有效地吸收同覆盖邻区的负荷,这样就会使得基 站完全唤醒或完全开启会造成资源和功率的浪费。
而另一种基站节能方法能包括: 当覆盖站检测到负载较高时, 激活其覆盖 范围内所有处于休眠状态的容量站;部分容量站激活后如果不能有效地吸收覆 盖站负载, 当再次满足进入休眠状态的条件时, 这部分容量站自行进入休眠状 态进行节能。
但是在容量站从进入休眠状态,到该容量站被激活后再次进入休眠状态的 过程中, 完全激活这部分容量站会造成资源和功率的浪费, 同时容量站覆盖范 围内的空闲态用户会在容量站和覆盖站之间产生移动性, 伴随着用户的移动, 尤其当覆盖站和容量站属于不同的制式时,可能会有大量的位置更新过程,。 发明内容

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清 楚、 完整地描述, 显然, 所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例, 而不是 全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造 性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明实施例提供的一种基站节能方法:
适用于如图 la和 lb所示的系统中, 本实施例的方法是覆盖站或操作、 管 理和维护 ( Operation Administration and Maintenance, OAM )设备所执行的方 法, 其中 OAM设备是系统中用来管理覆盖站和容量站的设备, 流程图如图 2 所示, 包括:
步骤 101 , 检测覆盖站的负载是否高于预置的值, 如果高于, 则执行步骤 102; 如果不高于, 则结束流程。
在检测覆盖站的负载时, 可以通过检测但不限于如下的一种或几种信息: 覆盖站的连接态用户数, 覆盖站的下行数据量, 覆盖站的空口资源占用率等。 步骤 102, 发送第二激活请求给该覆盖站覆盖范围内处于第二节能状态的 容量站, 这里第二激活请求用于请求容量站从第二节能状态进入第一节能状 态。
可以理解,覆盖站或 OAM设备可以将第二激活请求发送给覆盖站内所有 的容量站进入第一节能状态;也可以将第二激活请求发送给覆盖站内部分的容 量站,比如这部分容量站可以是覆盖站内用户设备和业务量分布密集区域的容 量站, 从而可以根据用户设备的分布来激活容量站。
其中在第一节能状态下, 容量站可以只承载连接态用户设备, 并发送连接 态用户设备必需的系统信息, 而不发送非连接态用户设备必须的系统信息。容 量站还可以支持源基站为该容量站所在覆盖站的切换,而拒绝源基站为非该容 量站所在覆盖站的切换,且拒绝以该容量站为目标的小区选择和小区重选; 且 容量站仅发送用于通知系统信息更新的寻呼消息,而不发送用于寻呼用户设备 的寻呼消息。
在第二节能状态即休眠或关闭状态下,容量站拒绝承载任何状态的用户设 备, 但是第二节能状态下的容量站保留与覆盖站或 OAM设备之间的接口。
需要说明的是, 如果步骤 101和 102是由 OAM设备执行的, 即由 OAM 设备进行检测负载并发送第二激活请求, 则 OAM设备还需要将容量站从第二 节能状态进入到第一节能状态的状态转换信息通知该容量站所在的覆盖站,这 样覆盖站就能知道覆盖范围内每个容量站的状态,从而在切换和小区重选时会 考虑每个容量站的状态。
当覆盖站内的容量站处于第一节能状态时,如果连接态的用户设备以该容 量站为目标基站进行切换,则覆盖站或 OAM设备可以将该覆盖站内的分组交 换(Packet Switching, PS )业务和 /或电路交换 ( Circuit Switching, CS )业务 切换到该容量站。
且如果空闲态的用户设备想要接入处于第一节能状态的容量站,则首先需 要在该容量站所在覆盖站与空闲态的用户设备之间建立连接,这样使得空闲态 用户设备成为连接态用户设备;并通过覆盖站与容量站之间的切换将该用户设 备接入到处于第一节能状态的容量站。 可见,在本发明实施例中的基站节能方法包括: 如果检测到覆盖站的负载 高于预置的值,则发送第二激活请求给该覆盖站范围内的所有或部分处于第二 节能状态的容量站, 来激活这些容量站进入第一节能状态。这样由于在第一节 能状态下容量站仅承载连接态用户设备, 而空闲态的用户设备由覆盖站来承 载, 从而减少了容量站需要发送的公共信令开销, 达到容量站节能的目的。
且本发明实施例中容量站从第二节能状态即休眠或关闭状态激活后,先不 承载空闲态用户设备,从而在没有完全确定该容量站是否需要回到正常状态之 前, 避免了空闲态用户设备在覆盖站和容量站之间的移动性。
参考图 3所示, 在一个具体的实施例中, 覆盖站或 OAM设备还可以通过 如下的步骤来实现基站的节能,本实施例中容量站从第一节能状态进入正常状 态:
A1: 检测覆盖站覆盖范围内的连接态用户设备以处于第一节能状态的容 量站为目标基站的单位时间切换次数是否高于预置的值,如果是, 则执行步骤 B1 , 如果不是, 则结束流程。
B1: 发送第一激活请求给处于第一节能状态的容量站。
这里第一激活请求用于请求容量站从第一节能状态进入正常状态,容量站 在正常状态下可以承载任何状态的用户设备,也允许以该容量站为目的基站的 小区选择或小区重选等。
C1:覆盖站或 OAM设备还可以检测以处于第一节能状态的容量站为目标 基站进行切换的切换成功率是否低于预置的值, 如果是, 则执行步骤 B1 , 如 果不是, 则结束流程。
需要说明的是, 如果步骤 A1到 C1是由覆盖站执行的, 由于在第一节能 状态下, 容量站是拒绝承载空闲态的用户设备, 当该容量站从第一节能状态进 入正常状态后, 可以允许接入空闲态的用户设备。 则覆盖站还可以更新该覆盖 站的系统消息中容量站的小区重选参数,使得覆盖站覆盖范围内的空闲用户设 备被允许重选到容量站。
如果步骤 A1到 C1是由 OAM设备执行的,即由 OAM设备进行检测单位 时间切换次数或切换成功率, 并在发送第一激活请求之后, OAM设备还需要 将容量站从第一节能状态进入正常状态的状态转换信息通知覆盖站,覆盖站就 能知道覆盖范围内每个容量站的状态,从而在切换和小区重选时会考虑每个容 量站的状态;
且覆盖站在接收到容量站从第一节能状态进入正常状态的状态转换信息 后, 可以更新该覆盖站的系统消息中容量站的小区重选参数,使得覆盖站覆盖 范围内的空闲用户设备被允许重选到容量站,方便覆盖站范围内用户设备进行 的小区重选等操作;而覆盖站在接收到状态转换信息后也可以不进行上述的更 新系统消息的操作。
参考图 4所示, 在一个具体的实施例中, 覆盖站或 OAM设备还可以通过 如下的步骤来实现基站的节能,本实施例中由覆盖站或 OAM设备决定容量站 从正常状态进入第一节能状态:
A2: 接收容量站发送的从正常状态进入第一节能状态的请求;
可以理解, 当容量站处于正常状态, 当该容量站检测到容量站的负载低于 预置的值,则会发送进入第一节能状态的请求给该容量站所在覆盖站,或 OAM 设备。
B2: 确定该容量站所在覆盖站的网络状况是否满足预置的条件, 如果是, 则执行步骤 C2; 如果不是, 则执行步骤 D2;
这里预置的条件包括但不限于如下的至少一种信息:覆盖站当前的负载低 于预置的值,覆盖站的负载统计信息显示覆盖站在之后的预置时间内负载低于 预置的值,容量站的负载统计信息显示容量站在之后的预置时间内负载低于预 置的值等。
C2: 发送正向判决结果给容量站, 允许容量站从正常状态进入到第一节 能状态;
D2: 发送反向判决结果给容量站, 不允许容量站从正常状态进入到第一 节能状态。
需要说明的是, 如果步骤 A2到 D2是由覆盖站执行的, 则覆盖站还可以 更新该覆盖站的系统消息中容量站的小区重选参数,使得覆盖站覆盖范围内的 空闲用户设备被阻止重选到容量站,方便覆盖站范围内用户设备进行的小区重 选等操作。
如果步骤 A2到 D2是由 OAM设备执行的,即由 OAM设备进行接收第一 节能状态的请求并发送判决结果, 如果 OAM设备发送了正向判决结果, 还需 要将容量站从正常状态进入第一节能状态的状态转换信息通知覆盖站,覆盖站 就能知道覆盖范围内每个容量站的状态,从而在切换和小区重选时会考虑每个 容量站的状态;
且覆盖站在接收到容量站从正常状态进入第一节能状态的状态转换信息 后,可以更新该覆盖站的系统消息中容量站的小区重选参数,使得覆盖站覆盖 范围内的空闲用户设备被阻止重选到容量站;而覆盖站在接收到状态转换信息 后也可以不进行上述的更新系统消息的操作。
在其他具体的实施例中,可以由容量站自己来决定是否从正常状态进入第 一节能状态, 即当容量站检测到该容量站的负载低于预置的值, 则决定进入第 一节能状态,并发送从正常状态进入第一节能状态的状态转换信息通知该容量 站所在的覆盖站; 这样当覆盖站接收到状态转换信息,可以更新覆盖站的系统 消息中该容量站的小区重选参数,使得覆盖站覆盖范围内的空闲用户设备被阻 止重选到该容量站。
且当容量站在检测到在预置的时间内该容量站中没有连接态的用户设备, 则决定从第一节能状态进入第二节能状态即休眠或关闭状态,并发送容量站从 第一节能状态进入第二节能状态的状态转换信息直接通知该容量站所在覆盖 站, 或通过 OAM设备通知该容量站所在覆盖站。
本发明实施例提供的另一种基站节能方法:
适用于如图 la和 lb所示的系统中,本实施例的方法是容量站所执行的方 法, 流程图如图 5所示, 包括:
步骤 201 , 接收到容量站所在覆盖站或 OAM设备发送的第二激活请求, 这里第二激活请求用于请求容量站从第二节能状态进入第一节能状态。
可以理解, 当覆盖站或 OAM设备检测到覆盖站的负载高于预置的值, 则 需要激活覆盖站覆盖范围内的所有或部分处于第二节能状态的容量站,并发送 第二激活请求给这些容量站。
步骤 202 , 从当前的第二节能状态进入第一节能状态。
其中在第一节能状态下, 容量站只承载连接态用户设备, 并发送连接态用 户设备必需的系统信息, 而不发送非连接态用户设备必须的系统信息; 容量站 还可以支持源基站为该容量站所在覆盖站的切换,而拒绝源基站为非该容量站 所在覆盖站的切换,且拒绝以该容量站为目标的小区选择和小区重选; 且容量 站仅发送用于通知系统信息更新的寻呼消息,而不发送用于寻呼用户设备的寻 呼消息。
在第二节能状态即休眠或关闭状态下,容量站拒绝承载任何状态的用户设 备, 但是第二节能状态下的容量站保留与覆盖站或 OAM设备之间的接口。
可见,在本发明实施例中的基站节能方法包括: 当容量站接收到覆盖站或 OAM设备发送的第二激活请求, 由当前的第二节能状态进入第一节能状态。 这样由于在第一节能状态下容量站仅承载连接态用户设备,而空闲态的用户设 备由覆盖站来承载,从而减少了容量站需要发送的公共信令开销, 达到容量站 节能的目的。
且本发明实施例中容量站从第一节能状态即休眠或关闭状态激活后,先不 承载空闲态用户设备,从而在没有完全确定该容量站是否需要回到正常状态之 前, 避免了空闲态用户设备在覆盖站和容量站之间的移动性。
在一个具体的实施例中, 当容量站处于第一节能状态时:
当覆盖站或 OAM设备检测到覆盖站覆盖范围内的连接态用户设备以处于 第一节能状态的容量站为目标基站的单位时间切换次数高于预置的值,或检测 到以处于第一节能状态的容量站为目标基站进行切换的切换成功率低于预置 的值, 则会发送第一激活请求给容量站, 其中第一激活请求用于请求容量站从 第一节能状态进入正常状态; 当容量站接收到第一激活请求后,从当前的第一 节能状态进入正常状态。
可以理解, 容量站在正常状态下能承载任何状态的用户设备,也允许以该 容量站为目的基站的小区选择或小区重选等操作。
具体地,在检测容量站的负载时, 容量站可以通过检测但不限于如下的一 种或几种信息: 容量站的连接态用户数, 容量站的下行数据量, 容量站的空口 资源占用率等。
且容量站在从第一节能状态进入正常状态时,可以更新该容量站的系统消 息中小区接入的参数, 使得容量站覆盖范围内的空闲态用户设备驻留在容量 站,且使得该容量站覆盖范围内的用户设备被允许以该容量站为目标基站的小 区选择和小区重选。
在另一个具体的实施例中, 当容量站处于正常状态时:
容量站可以自己决定是否进入第一节能状态, 具体地: 容量站检测该容量 站的负载是否低于预置的值,如果是,则从当前的正常状态进入第一节能状态, 并将容量站从正常状态进入第一节能状态的转换信息通知容量站所在的覆盖 站; 如果不是, 则容量站继续处于正常状态下。
具体地, 容量站在从正常状态进入第一节能状态时, 迁出容量站覆盖范围 内的空闲态用户设备, 并更新该容量站的系统消息中小区接入的参数,使得该 容量站覆盖范围内的用户设备被阻止以容量站为目标基站的小区选择和小区 重选。
在另一个具体的实施例中, 当容量站处于正常状态时:
可以由该容量站所在覆盖站或 OAM设备来决定是否进行第一节能状态, 具体地: 容量站检测该容量站的负载是否低于预置的值, 如果是, 则发送从正 常状态进入第一节能状态的请求给覆盖站或 OAM设备。
这样覆盖站或 OAM设备可以按照上述步骤 A2到 D2的步骤来进行容量 站是否进入第一节能状态的判决, 在此不再赘述, 当容量站接收到覆盖站或 OAM设备根据进入第一节能状态的请求反馈的正向判决结果, 则从当前的正 常状态进入第一节能状态;如果容量站接收到覆盖站或 OAM设备反馈的反向 判决结果, 则继续处于正常状态下。
在其他具体的实施例中, 当容量站处于第一节能状态时:
如果容量站检测到在预置的时间内该容量站没有连接态用户设备,则从当 前的第一节能状态进入第二节能状态,并将容量站从第一节能状态进入第二节 能状态的状态转换信息直接通知覆盖站, 或通过 OAM设备通知覆盖站, 这样 覆盖站就可以知道其覆盖范围内的容量站所处的状态,并进行相应的切换和小 区选择操作。
可见, 参考图 6所示, 本发明实施例中, 容量站由三个状态即正常状态、 第一节能状态和第二节能状态, 当容量站处于正常状态时,如果该容量站的负 载较低即低于预置的值, 则会进入第一节能状态; 而处于第一节能状态的容量 站接收到覆盖站或 OAM设备的第一激活请求后, 就会进入正常状态。 且处于第一节能状态的容量在一定的时间即在预置的时间内没有连接态 的用户设备, 则从第一节能状态进入第二节能状态即休眠或关闭状态; 当容量 站在第二节能状态时, 如果接收到覆盖站或 OAM设备的第二激活请求后, 就 会进入第一节能状态。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例中, 容量站在正常状态和第二节能状态之间 是不能直接转换的。
以下以一个具体的实施例来说明本发明的基站节能方法:
本实施例中覆盖站和容量站均是演进的全球地面无线接入网 ( Evoled UTRAN, EUTRAN ) 小区; 其中覆盖站提供基本的网络覆盖, 容量站处于覆 盖站覆盖范围内, 并被覆盖站完全覆盖。
( 1 )参考图 7a所示, 容量站由正常状态进入第一节能状态:
容量站是否从正常状态进行第一节能状态可以由容量站自己决定,也可以 由该容量站所在覆盖站或 OAM设备决定。
301、 当容量站处于正常状态时, 如果检测到该容量站的负载低于预设门 限值 HI , 则设置该容量站的系统信息块的类型 1 消息(System Information Block Typel message ) 中小区承载( cell Barred )参数为 "禁止承载", 在 T1时 间后, 该容量站由正常状态进入第一节能状态。
其中检测的负载至少包含以下几种因素中的一种: 容量站的连接态用户 数、 容量站的下行数据量和容量站的空口资源占用率等。
302、容量站将由正常状态接入第一节能状态的状态转换信息通知覆盖站。
303、 覆盖站接收到容量站由正常状态进入第一节能状态的通知后, 如果 覆盖站与容量站属于同频小区, 则覆盖站可以将该容量站的物理小区标识 ( phys Cell Id )添加到覆盖站的系统信息块的类型 4消息( System Information Block Type4 message ) 的同频小区黑名单列表 ( Intra Freq Black Cell List ) 中, 并更新系统信息;
如果覆盖站与容量站属于异频小区,则覆盖站可以将该容量站的物理小区 标识( phys Cell Id )添加到覆盖站系统信息块的类型 5消息( System Information Block Type5 message ) 的异频小区黑名单列表 ( Inter Freq Black Cell List ) 中, 并更新系统信息。 ( 2 )容量站由第一节能状态进入第二节能状态:
当容量站处于第一节能状态时, 如果在预设时间 T2内没有连接态用户设 备, 则由第一节能状态进入第二节能状态, 并将由第一节能状态进入第二节能 状态的状态转换信息通知覆盖站。
( 3 )容量站由第二节能状态进入第一节能状态:
当容量站处于第二节能状态时,如果该容量站所在覆盖站检测到覆盖站的 负载高于预设门限 H2, 则向覆盖范围内的所有或部分容量站发送第二激活请 求, 请求容量站进入第一节能状态。
当容量站接收到覆盖站发送的第二激活请求,由第二节能状态进入第一节 能状态。
( 4 )参考图 7b所示, 容量站由第一节能状态进入正常状态:
304、 当容量站处于第一节能状态时, 如果覆盖站检测到覆盖站连接态用 户以容量站为目标基站的单位时间切换次数超过预设门限 H3 , 或者以容量站 为目标基站进行切换的切换成功率低于预设门限 H4时, 覆盖站向容量站发送 第一激活请求。
305、 如果覆盖站与容量站属于同频小区, 则在发送第一激活请求的 T3 时间后, 覆盖站可以将容量站的物理小区标识从覆盖站的系统信息块的类型 4 消息的同频小区黑名单列表中删除, 并更新系统信息;
如果覆盖站与容量站属于异频小区, 则在发送第一激活请求的 T3时间后 覆盖站可以将容量站的物理小区标识从覆盖站系统信息块的类型 5 消息的异 频小区黑名单列表中删除, 并更新系统信息。
306、 当容量站接收到覆盖站发送的第一激活请求, 由第一节能状态进入 正常状态,具体地,设置系统信息块的类型 1消息中小区承载参数为"能承载", 并更新系统信息。
本实施例中, 当容量站处于第一节能状态时, 可以接收移动管理实体
( Mobility Management Entity, MME )下发的针对空闲态用户设备的寻呼消息, 但不从空口发送该寻呼消息;
且如果容量站与覆盖站属于同频小区,容量站可以下发连接态用户设备的 系统信息,比如主信息块( Master Information Block, MIB )、系统信息块( System Information Block, SIB ) 1到 4, 而不发送其他系统信息; 如果容量站与覆盖 站属于异频小区, 则容量站可以下发连接态用户设备的系统信息, 比如主信息 块、 系统信息块 1到 3及系统信息块 5 , 而不发送其他系统信息;
在第一节能状态下, 容量站正常发送其他公共信号, 包括导频信号和同步 信号; 且执行源基站为所在覆盖站的切换,拒绝源基站为非所在覆盖站的所有 切换。
当容量站处于第二节能状态时, 完全休眠或关闭, 并保留与覆盖站之间的 接口。
以下以另一个具体的实施例来说明本发明的基站节能方法:
本实施例中覆盖站和容量站属于不同的无线接入小区,比如覆盖站为全球 地面无线接入网 ( Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network , UTRAN )小区, 而容量站是 EUTRAN小区。 其中覆盖站提供基本的网络覆盖, 容量站处于覆 盖站覆盖范围内, 并被覆盖站完全覆盖。
( 1 )参考图 8a所示, 容量站由正常状态进入第一节能状态:
容量站是否从正常状态进行第一节能状态可以由容量站自己决定,也可以 由 OAM设备决定。
401、 当容量站处于正常状态时, 如果检测到该容量站的负载低于预设门 限值 HI ,则设置该容量站的系统信息块的类型 1消息中小区承载参数为"禁止 承载", 在 T1时间后, 该容量站由正常状态进入第一节能状态。
其中检测的负载至少包含以下几种因素中的一种: 容量站的连接态用户 数、 容量站的下行数据量和容量站的空口资源占用率等。
402、 容量站将由正常状态接入第一节能状态的状态转换信息通过 OAM 设备通知覆盖站。
由于本实施例中容量站与覆盖站属于不同的接入网小区, 则需要通过 OAM设备来传输容量站与覆盖站之间的信息。
403、 覆盖站接收到容量站由正常状态进入第一节能状态的通知后, 覆盖 站可以将该容量站的物理小区标识, 添加到覆盖站的系统信息块的类型 19消 息的 EUTRAN频率和优先权信息表 ( EUTRAN Frequency and priority info list ) 中的每频率小区黑名单( Black Listed cells per freq list ) 中, 并更新系统信息。 ( 2 )容量站由第一节能状态进入第二节能状态:
当容量站处于第一节能状态时, 如果在预设时间 T2内没有连接态用户设 备, 则由第一节能状态进入第二节能状态, 并将由第一节能状态进入第二节能 状态的状态转换信息通过 OAM设备通知覆盖站。
( 3 )容量站由第二节能状态进入第一节能状态:
当容量站处于第二节能状态时,如果 OAM设备检测到该容量站所在覆盖 站的负载高于预设门限 H2, 则向覆盖范围内的所有或部分容量站发送第二激 活请求,请求容量站进入第一节能状态; 并将容量站从第二节能状态进入第一 节能状态的状态转换信息通知覆盖站。

405、 OAM设备发送容量站从第一状态进入正常状态的状态转换信息通知 覆盖站。
406、 覆盖站可以将容量站的物理小区标识从覆盖站的系统信息块的类型 19消息的 EUTRAN频率和优先权信息表中的每个频率表的小区项中删除, 并 更新系统信息。
407、 当容量站接收到 OAM设备发送的第一激活请求, 由第一节能状态 进入正常状态, 具体地, 设置系统信息块的类型 1消息中小区承载参数为"能 承载", 并更新系统信息。
本实施例中, 当容量站处于第一节能状态时, 可以接收 MME下发的针对 空闲态用户设备的寻呼消息,但不从空口发送该寻呼消息; 容量站可以下发连 接态用户设备的系统信息,比如主信息块、系统信息块 1到 3及系统信息块 6, 而不发送其他系统信息; 容量站正常发送其他公共信号, 包括导频信号和同步 信号; 且执行源基站为所在覆盖站的切换,拒绝源基站为非所在覆盖站的所有 切换。

在第一节能状态下, 容量站可以只承载连接态用户设备, 并发送连接态用 户设备必需的系统信息, 而不发送非连接态用户设备必须的系统信息。容量站 还可以支持源基站为该容量站所在覆盖站的切换,而拒绝源基站为非该容量站 所在覆盖站的切换,且拒绝以该容量站为目标的小区选择和小区重选; 且容量 站仅发送用于通知系统信息更新的寻呼消息,而不发送用于寻呼用户设备的寻 呼消息。
在第二节能状态即休眠或关闭状态下,容量站拒绝承载任何状态的用户设 备, 但是第二节能状态下的容量站保留与覆盖站或 OAM设备之间的接口。
本实施例的基站中: 如果负载检测单元 10检测到覆盖站的负载高于预置 的值, 则激活发送单元 11发送第二激活请求给该覆盖站范围内的所有或部分 处于第二节能状态的容量站, 来激活这些容量站进入第一节能状态。这样由于 在第一节能状态下容量站仅承载连接态用户设备,而空闲态的用户设备由覆盖 站来承载,从而减少了容量站需要发送的公共信令开销, 达到容量站节能的目 的。
且本发明实施例中基站的激活发送单元 11将容量站从第二节能状态即休 眠或关闭状态激活到第一节能状态,使得容量站先不承载空闲态用户设备,从 而在没有完全确定该容量站是否需要回到正常状态之前,避免了空闲态用户设 备在覆盖站和容量站之间的移动性。

通过上述基站中各个单元可以按照如图 2到 4所示的方法进行基站的节能 操作,使得容量站可以在正常状态与第一节能状态,及第一节能状态与第二节 能状态之间相互转换, 使得容量站从第二节能状态即休眠或关闭状态激活后, 先不承载空闲态用户设备,从而在没有完全确定该容量站是否需要回到正常状 态之前, 避免了空闲态用户设备在覆盖站和容量站之间的移动性。
