小区休眠的处理方法及系统 技术领域 本发明涉及通讯领域，具体而言， 涉及一种小区休眠的处理方法及系统。 背景技术 第三代移动通信的长期演进 ( Long Term Evolution , 简称为 LTE ) 网络 由演进的通用陆地无线接入网 （ Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network, 简称为 E-UTRAN ) 和演进的分组核心 （ Evolved Packet Core, 简 称为 EPC )网组成。 E-UTRAN包含演进的基站（ Evolved NodeB ,简称为 eNB ) 的集合， EPC包含移动管理实体（Mobile Management Entity, 简称为 MME ) 和月艮务网关 （Serving Gateway, 简称为 S-GW ) 等， 网络架构扁平化。 eNB 和 MME/S-GW通过 S I接口连接， eNB之间可通过 X2接口连接。 S l、 X2 是還辑接口。 一个 MME/S-GW可以管理一个或多个 eNB, 一个 eNB也可以 受控于多个 MME/S-GW。 一个 eNB可以管理一个或多个小区。 先进的 LTE ( LTE Advanced , 简称为 LTE- A ) 系统由 LTE系统演进而来， 网络架构与 LTE一致。 在 LTE-A中釆用了一些如协作多点、 频谱聚合和 Relay的新技术 来增强系统性能。 目前， 考虑到节能环保以及降低成本， 电信运营商对无线通讯设备的节 能问题越来越重视。 而基站在无线通讯网络中不仅数量庞大而且能耗巨大， 因此， 降低基站能耗是解决节能问题的关键。 实际应用中， 基站的多少和容量大小通常是按其所在区域业务量来建设 的， 并且该业务量要考虑到某些高峰时段的业务量需求。 例如， 办公区域的 业务量， 在工作时间要比在非工作时间高， 因此， 建设基站时就要考虑办公 区域在工作时间内的业务量， 并且还必须保证所有这些基站在工作时间内的 运行， 用以满足办公区域的业务量。 但是， 在非工作时间内， 办公区域的业务量明显降低， 这又会造成无线 通讯能力的过剩。 相关技术中， 针对低业务量的区域的部分小区， 通常釆用 休眠的方式以实现较好的节能效果。 需要说明的是， 该进入休眠的小区均是 容量增强型的， 即该小区主要是为网络提供容量的， 当该容量增强型的小区 进入休眠时， 网络仍可保证覆盖的连续性。 同时， 低业务量的区域的部分小区也可能是覆盖增强型的， 即该小区主 要是为网络提供覆盖的。 通过对该覆盖增强型的小区休眠， 可以实现更好的 节能效果。 但是发明人发现， 当该覆盖增强型的小区被休眠时， 网络可能无 法保证该区域的覆盖， 从而影响用户通信。 发明内容 针对小区休眠时造成的网络覆盖、 容量等问题而提出本发明， 为此， 本 发明的主要目的在于提供一种小区休眠的处理方法及系统，以解决上述问题。 为了实现上述目的， 才艮据本发明的一个方面， 提供了一种小区休眠的处 理方法。 才艮据本发明的小区休眠的处理方法包括：小区向邻区发送休眠请求消息； 邻区根据休眠请求消息向小区发送相应的休眠响应消息； 小区根据休眠响应 消息确定是否执行休眠操作。 优选地， 休眠响应消息包括休眠允许消息和休眠拒绝消息。 优选地， 邻区根据休眠请求消息向小区发送相应的休眠响应消息包括： 当休眠请求消息中携带有用于请求邻区进行覆盖区域的补偿的信息时， 如果 邻区判断能补偿覆盖区域， 则向小区发送休眠允许消息； 如果邻区判断不能 补偿覆盖区域， 则向 d、区发送休眠拒绝消息。 优选地， 小区根据休眠响应消息确定是否执行休眠操作包括： 小区判断 邻区发送的为休眠允许消息， 则确定执行休眠操作； 小区判断邻区发送的为 休眠拒绝消息， 则确定不执行休眠操作。 优选地， 小区根据休眠响应消息确定是否执行休眠操作还包括： 小区判 断邻区中的部分邻区发送的为休眠允许消息， 居下述方式确定是否执行休 眠操作： 小区的第一邻区和小区的第二邻区的覆盖区域均能够覆盖小区的覆 盖区域， 当第一邻区或第二邻区发送休眠允许消息时， 确定执行休眠操作； 或者小区的第一邻区和小区的第二邻区的覆盖区域分别覆盖小区的部分的覆 盖区域， 并且第一邻区和第二邻区的覆盖区域之和覆盖小区的覆盖区域， 当 第一邻区或第二邻区发送休眠拒绝消息时， 确定不执行休眠操作。 优选地， 在小区根据休眠响应消息确定执行休眠操作之后， 还包括： 小 区向邻区发送用于指示邻区补偿覆盖区域的消息； 邻区执行覆盖区域的补偿 操作。 优选地， 在邻区执行覆盖区域的补偿操作之后， 还包括： 如果邻区判断 成功执行覆盖区域的补偿操作， 则向小区返回覆盖区域补偿成功消息， 否则 返回覆盖区域补偿失败消息。 优选地， 休眠操作包括以下之一： 休眠进入操作， 休眠退出操作； 其中， 对于休眠进入操作， 小区在休眠请求消息中携带有用于请求邻区进行覆盖区 域的补偿的信息， 对于休眠退出操作， 小区在休眠请求消息中携带有用于请 求邻区取消覆盖区域的补偿的信息。 优选地， 小区和邻区包括以下之一： 宏基站小区、 家庭基站小区； 休眠 请求消息携带以下至少之一的信息： 小区的标识、 邻区的标识、 需要邻区进 行覆盖区域的补偿的指示、 需要邻区取消覆盖区域的补偿的指示； 休眠允许 消息中携带以下至少之一的信息： 小区的标识、 邻区的标识； 休眠拒绝消息 中携带以下至少之一的信息： 小区的标识、 邻区的标识、 拒绝原因。 为了实现上述目的， 才艮据本发明的另一方面， 提供了一种小区休眠的处 理系统。 才艮据本发明的小区休眠的处理系统包括小区和邻区，其中，该小区包括： 第一发送模块， 设置为向邻区发送休眠请求消息； 该邻区包括： 第二发送模 块， 设置为根据休眠请求消息向小区发送相应的休眠响应消息； 该小区还包 括： 确定模块， 设置为根据休眠响应消息确定是否执行休眠操作。 优选地， 第二发送模块包括： 判断子模块， 设置为当休眠请求消息中携 带有用于请求邻区进行覆盖区域的补偿的信息时，判断是否能补偿覆盖区域； 发送子模块， 设置为向小区发送休眠允许消息或休眠拒绝消息。 优选地， 确定模块包括： 第一确定子模块， 设置为确定执行休眠操作； 第二确定子模块， 设置为确定不执行休眠操作。 通过本发明， 邻区向小区发送相应的休眠响应消息， 以便小区根据该休 眠响应消息确定是否执行休眠操作， 解决了小区休眠时造成的网络覆盖、 容 量等问题， 从而保证了用户通信。 附图说明 此处所说明的附图用来提供对本发明的进一步理解， 构成本申请的一部 分， 本发明的示意性实施例及其说明用于解释本发明， 并不构成对本发明的 不当限定。 在附图中： 图 1是 居本发明实施例的小区休眠的处理方法的流程图； 图 2是 居本发明优选实施例一的休眠进入成功的流程图； 图 3是 居本发明优选实施例二的休眠进入失败的流程图； 图 4是才艮据本发明优选实施例三的休眠退出成功的流程图； 图 5是才艮据本发明优选实施例四的休眠退出失败的流程图； 图 6是才艮据本发明实施例的小区休眠的处理系统的结构框图； 图 7是 居本发明优选实施例的小区休眠的处理系统的结构框图。 具体实施方式 需要说明的是， 在不冲突的情况下， 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特 征可以相互组合。 下面将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。 本发明下述实施例基于 3GPP中小区及其多个邻区所组成的网络。 图 1是才艮据本发明实施例的小区休眠的方法的流程图，包括如下的步骤： 步骤 S 102 , 小区向邻区发送休眠请求消息。 步骤 S 104 , 邻区根据休眠请求消息向小区发送相应的休眠响应消息。 步骤 S 106, 小区根据休眠响应消息确定是否执行休眠操作。 相关技术中， 小区休眠时无法保证网络区域的覆盖质量。 本实施例中， 通过邻区向小区发送的休眠响应消息， 使得该小区能够获知该邻区是否可以 调整其覆盖区域， 然后，该小区根据该休眠响应消息确定是否执行休眠操作， 可以避免该小区执行休眠操作且该邻区不能调整其覆盖区域时造成的网络覆 盖区域的重复或断裂， 既达到了节能的目的， 又保证了用户通信。 优选地， 该小区为覆盖增强型的小区， 主要为网络提供覆盖。 优选地， 休眠响应消息包括休眠允许消息和休眠拒绝消息。 当休眠请求 消息中携带有用于请求邻区进行覆盖区域的补偿的信息时， 如果邻区判断能 补偿覆盖区域， 则向 d、区发送休眠允许消息； 如果邻区判断不能补偿覆盖区 域， 则向小区发送休眠拒绝消息。 通过邻区向小区发送的休眠允许消息或者休眠拒绝消息， 使得该小区能 够获知该邻区是否可以补偿其覆盖区域， 然后， 该小区根据该休眠响应消息 确定是否执行休眠操作， 可以避免该小区执行休眠操作且该邻区不能调整其 覆盖区域时造成的网络覆盖区域的重复或断裂， 既达到了节能的目的， 又保 证了用户通信。 优选地， 小区根据休眠响应消息确定是否执行休眠操作包括以下几种情 况：
( 1 ) 小区判断邻区发送的为休眠允许消息， 则确定执行休眠操作。 ( 2 ) 小区判断邻区发送的为休眠拒绝消息， 则确定不执行休眠操作。 需要说明的是， 该邻区为一个或多个。 当小区只向一个邻区发送休眠请求消息时， 如果该邻区发送休眠允许消 息则可确定执行休眠操作。 如果该邻区发送休眠拒绝消息则确定不执行休眠 操作。 当小区向多个邻区发送休眠请求消息时， 如果所有邻区都发送休眠允许 消息则确定执行休眠操作， 如果所有邻区都发送休眠拒绝消息则确定不执行 休眠操作。 ( 3 ) 当小区向多个邻区发送休眠请求消息时， 小区判断邻区中的部分 邻区发送的为休眠允许消息， 部分邻区发送的为休眠拒绝消息， 则 居下述 方式确定是否执行休眠操作： 小区的第一邻区和小区的第二邻区的覆盖区域均能够覆盖小区的覆盖区 域， 当第一邻区或第二邻区发送休眠允许消息时， 确定执行休眠操作。 小区的第一邻区和小区的第二邻区的覆盖区域分别覆盖小区的部分的覆 盖区域， 并且第一邻区和第二邻区的覆盖区域之和覆盖小区的覆盖区域， 当 第一邻区或第二邻区发送休眠拒绝消息时， 确定不执行休眠操作。 需要说明的是， 小区在向邻区发送休眠请求消息之后， 如果收到第一邻 区的休眠响应消息为休眠拒绝消息， 小区可不必等待第二邻区尚未发送的休 眠响应消息而直接确定不执行休眠操作。 需要说明的是， 上述第一邻区和第二邻区仅仅作为本优选实施例的一个 举例， 实际应用中， 还可能包含更多的邻区， 其覆盖关系也更复杂的情况。 但是， 该情况都可以看作是上述第一邻区和第二邻区的情况的复合或叠加。 优选地， 步骤 S 102中小区发送休眠请求消息， 可以是小区自主决定的， 也可以是某一个邻区触发的。 当某一个邻区触发时， 在步骤 S 102之前， 还 包括该邻区向该小区发送休眠请求消息， 即，该邻区要求小区执行休眠操作。 此时， 小区在转发休眠请求消息时可以不向该邻区发送。 这样， 可以节约小 区执行休眠操作的步骤， 从而加快其进程。 优选地， 在小区根据休眠响应消息确定执行休眠操作之后， 小区向邻区 发送用于指示邻区补偿覆盖区域的消息； 邻区执行覆盖区域的补偿操作。 需要说明的是， 通过本优选实施例， 在邻区向小区发送休眠允许消息或 者休眠拒绝消息之后， 能够使得该邻区获知该小区是否执行了休眠操作， 从 而根据该休眠操作进行相应的补偿操作， 保证用户通信。 优选地， 在邻区执行覆盖区域的补偿操作之后， 如果邻区判断成功执行 覆盖区域的补偿操作， 则向小区返回覆盖区域补偿成功消息， 否则返回覆盖 区域补偿失败消息。 需要说明的是， 通过本优选实施例， 在小区通知邻区进行覆盖区域的补 偿之后， 能够使得该小区获知该邻区是否进行相应的补偿操作， 从而保证了 用户通信。 优选地， 休眠操作包括休眠进入操作和休眠退出操作。 其中， 对于休眠 进入操作， 小区在休眠请求消息中可携带有用于请求邻区进行覆盖区域的补 偿的信息， 对于休眠退出操作， 小区在休眠请求消息中可携带有用于请求邻 区进行覆盖区域的缩小 （即取消补偿） 的信息。 需要说明的是， 当小区进入休眠时， 其邻区需要扩大覆盖区域以补偿该 小区的覆盖区域， 从而避免网络覆盖区域断裂。 当小区退出休眠时， 其邻区 需要缩 d、覆盖区域以避免其与小区的千扰。 优选地， 小区和邻区可以是宏基站小区或者家庭基站小区。 优选地， 上述小区和邻区可以同属于一个系统， 例如同属于 Intra-RAT 或者 LTE/LTE-A。上述小区和邻区也可以分属于不同系统， 例如分属于 GSM 或者 UMTS或者 LTE/LTE-A。 优选地，上述休眠请求消息、休眠允许消息和休眠拒绝消息在 LTE/LTE-A 系统中， 在宏基站之间可以通过 X2、 S I接口消息实现， 在宏基站和家庭基 站之间、 或家庭基站之间可以通过 S 1接口消息实现。 优选地， 上述休眠请求消息、 休眠允许消息和休眠拒绝消息在 UMTS系 统中， 在宏基站之间可以通过 Iub、 Iur、 Iu接口消息实现， 在宏基站和家庭 基站之间、 或家庭基站之间可以通过 Iuh、 Iub、 Iu接口消息实现。 优选地, 上述休眠请求消息可以携带以下一种或多种信息： 小区的标识、 邻区的标识、 是否需要邻区进行覆盖补偿的指示 （当小区休眠时可以携带该 指示） 或者是否需要邻区取消覆盖补偿的指示 （当小区退出休眠时可以携带 该指示）。 优选地， 上述休眠允许消息中可以携带以下一种或多种信息： 小区的标 i只和邻区的标 i只。 优选地， 上述休眠拒绝消息中可以携带以下一种或多种信息： 小区的标 识、 邻区的标识、 拒绝的原因， 其中， 拒绝小区进入休眠的原因可以是容量 需求、 邻区不能提供覆盖补偿等， 拒绝小区退出休眠的原因可以是： 无容量 需求、 邻区不能取消覆盖补偿、 可能对邻区造成较大千扰等。 优选地， 小区在向邻区发送休眠请求消息时， 可以设置一个定时器， 如 果在定时器超时后还没有收到所有的休眠响应消息， 并且不能才艮据已收到的 休眠响应消息来确定是否执行休眠操作时， 可以向未发送休眠响应消息的邻 区或所有的邻区重新发送休眠请求消息。 优选地， 小区在向邻区发送休眠请求消息之后， 如果根据已收到的响应 消息可以确定是否执行休眠操作时， 可不必等待尚未收到的休眠响应消息而 直接执行休眠操作。 下面结合优选实施例和附图对上述实施例的实现过程进行详细说明。 优选实施例一 本优选实施例一中， 邻区判断能够扩大自己的覆盖区域以对小区休眠时 进行补偿， 因此向小区发送休眠进入允许消息， 以便小区 居该休眠进入允 许消息进入休眠。 图 2是才艮据本发明优选实施例一的休眠进入成功的流程图。 包括如下的 步骤： 步骤 S202： 小区向其邻区 A基站发送休眠进入请求消息。 步骤 S204： 小区向其邻区 B基站发送休眠进入请求消息。 需要说明的是， 当小区自主决定进入休眠状态、 或收到了某个邻区 （如 邻区 A ) 的休眠进入请求消息 （邻区要求小区进入休眠） 时， 先向其相关邻 区发送休眠请求消息。 其中， 该相关邻区可以是其覆盖区域能够包含该小区 覆盖区域的邻区、 其覆盖区域和该小区覆盖区域有部分重叠的邻区、 当小区 休眠时需要其扩大覆盖区域以补偿该 '』、区覆盖区域的邻区等。 优选地， 这里的相关邻区可以是一个或者多个。 同时， 对于小区收到了 邻区 A的休眠进入请求消息的情况， 相关邻区可以不包括邻区 A。 优选地，小区发送的休眠进入请求消息中可以携带以下一种或多种信息： 小区的标识、 邻区的标识、 是否需要邻区进行覆盖补偿的指示 （当小区休眠 时需要该邻区扩大覆盖区域以补偿该 '』、区覆盖区域的时候可以携带该指示）。 步骤 S206： 邻区 A向小区发送休眠进入允许消息。 步骤 S208： 邻区 B向小区发送休眠进入允许消息。 需要说明的是，对于每个收到小区发来的休眠进入请求消息的邻区而言， 如果请求消息中携带了需要邻区进行覆盖补偿的指示， 则邻区可主要根据是 否能够扩大自己的覆盖区域以对小区休眠时进行补偿， 来判断是否给小区发 送休眠进入允许消息。 如果请求消息中没有携带需要邻区进行覆盖补偿的指 示， 则邻区可主要根据小区休眠时在容量上是否会对自己造成较大影响来判 断是否给小区发送休眠进入允许消息。 本优选实施例中， 邻区判断能够扩大自己的覆盖区域以对小区休眠时进 行补偿， 因此向小区发送休眠进入允许消息， 以便小区根据该休眠进入允许 消息进入休眠。 优选实施例二 本优选实施例二中， 邻区判断小区休眠时在容量上会对自己造成较大影 响， 因此向小区发送休眠进入拒绝消息， 以便小区 居该休眠进入拒绝消息 不进入休眠。 步骤 S302至步骤 S304同步骤 S202至步骤 S204。 步骤 S306: 邻区 A向小区发送休眠进入拒绝消息。 步骤 S308: 邻区 B向小区发送休眠进入拒绝消息。 对于每个收到小区发来的休眠请求消息的邻区而言， 邻区可根据小区休 眠时在容量上是否会对自己造成较大影响 （例如邻区的负荷已经比较高， 而 小区当前有一定的负荷， 如果小区进入休眠， 其负荷可能会转移到该邻区， 可能会使该邻区负荷过载）， 来判断是否给小区发送拒绝消息（如会对自己造 成较大影响）。 本优选实施例二中， 邻区判断小区休眠时在容量上会对自己造成较大影 响， 因此向小区发送休眠进入拒绝消息， 以便小区 居该休眠进入拒绝消息 不进入休眠。 优选地、 该拒绝消息中可以携带原因： 如容量需求等。 优选实施例三 本优选实施例三中， 邻区判断可以缩小自己的覆盖区域到正常状态， 因 此向小区发送休眠退出允许消息， 以便小区根据该休眠退出允许消息退出休 眠。 图 4是才艮据本发明优选实施例三的休眠退出成功的流程图， 包括如下的 步骤： 步骤 S402： 小区向其邻区 A基站发送休眠退出请求消息。 步骤 S404： 小区向其邻区 B基站发送休眠退出请求消息。 需要说明的是， 当小区自主决定退出休眠状态、 或收到了某个邻区 （如 邻区 A ) 的休眠退出请求消息 （邻区要求激活处于休眠状态的小区） 时， 先 向其相关邻区发送休眠退出允许请求消息。 其中， 该相关邻区可以是其覆盖 区域能够包含该小区覆盖区域的邻区、 其覆盖区域和该小区覆盖区域有部分 重叠的邻区、 当小区退出休眠时需要其缩小覆盖区域以避免其与小区间产生 较大千扰的邻区等。 优选地， 这里的相关邻区可以是一个或者多个。 同时， 对于小区收到了 邻区 A的休眠退出请求消息的情况， 相关邻区可以不包括邻区 A。 优选地，小区发送的休眠退出请求消息中可以携带以下一种或多种信息： 小区的标识、 邻区的标识、 是否需要邻区取消覆盖补偿的指示 （当小区退出 休眠时需要该邻区缩小覆盖区域以避免其与小区间产生较大千扰的时候可以 携带该指示）。 步骤 S406： 邻区 A向小区发送休眠退出允许消息。 步骤 S408： 邻区 B向小区发送休眠退出允许消息。 需要说明的是，对于每个收到小区发来的休眠退出请求消息的邻区而言， 如果请求消息中携带了需要邻区取消覆盖补偿的指示， 则邻区可主要根据当 前是否可以缩小自己的覆盖区域到正常状态， 来判断是否给小区发送允许消 息。 如果休眠请求消息中没有携带需要邻区取消覆盖补偿的指示， 则邻区可 主要根据从容量上考虑是否需要激活小区，来判断是否给小区发送允许消息。 本优选实施例中， 邻区判断可以缩小自己的覆盖区域到正常状态， 因此 向小区发送休眠退出允许消息，以便小区根据该休眠退出允许消息退出休眠。
(如可以） 或拒绝消息 （如不可以）。 （如需要小区容量上的帮助） 或拒 绝消息（如不需要小区容量上的帮助）。进一步地、拒绝消息中可以携带原因： 如邻区不能取消覆盖补偿等。 优选实施例四 本优选实施例四中， 邻区判断小区被激活时会对自己造成较大的千扰， 因此向小区发送休眠退出拒绝消息， 以便小区才艮据该休眠退出拒绝消息不退 出休眠。 步骤 S502至步骤 S504同步骤 S402至步骤 S404。 步骤 S506: 邻区 A向小区发送休眠退出拒绝消息。 步骤 S508: 邻区 B向小区发送休眠退出拒绝消息。 对于每个收到小区发来的休眠退出允许请求消息的邻区而言， 邻区可才艮 据从容量上考虑是否需要激活小区、 当小区被激活时是否会对自己造成较大 的千扰， 来判断是否给小区发送拒绝消息 （如认为小区被激活时会对自己造 成较大的千扰）。 本优选实施例四中， 邻区判断小区被激活时会对自己造成较大的千扰， 因此向小区发送休眠退出拒绝消息， 以便小区才艮据该休眠退出拒绝消息不退 出休眠。 优选地、 该拒绝消息中可以携带原因： 如可能对邻区造成较大千扰 等。 根据本发明的实施例， 提供了一种小区休眠的处理系统， 该系统可以用 于实现上述小区休眠的处理方法。 图 6是才艮据本发明实施例的小区休眠的处 理系统的结构 411图。 如图 6所示， 包括小区 62和邻区 64 , 其中， 小区 62包 括第一发送模块 622和确定模块 624 , 邻区 64包括第二发送模块 642。 第一发送模块 622 ,设置为向邻区发送休眠请求消息。第二发送模块 642 , 连接至第一发送模块 622 , 设置为根据第一发送模块 622发送的休眠请求消 息向小区发送相应的休眠响应消息。确定模块 624 ,连接至第二发送模块 642 , 设置为根据第二发送模块 642发送的休眠响应消息确定是否执行休眠操作。 相关技术中， 小区休眠时无法保证网络区域的覆盖。 本实施例中， 通过 第二发送模块 642向小区发送的休眠响应消息， 使得该小区能够获知该邻区 是否可以调整其覆盖区域， 然后， 通过确定模块 624根据该休眠响应消息确 定是否执行休眠操作， 可以避免该小区执行休眠操作且该邻区不能调整其覆 盖区域时造成的网络覆盖区域的重复或断裂， 既达到了节能的目的， 又保证 了用户通信。 图 7是 居本发明优选实施例的小区休眠的处理系统的结构框图。 第二 发送模块 642包括： 判断子模块 6422 , 发送子模块 6424。 确定模块 624包 括： 第一确定子模块 6242和第二确定子模块 6244。 判断子模块 6422 ,连接至第一发送模块 622 ,设置为当第一发送模块 622 发送的休眠请求消息中携带有用于请求邻区进行覆盖区域的补偿的信息时， 判断是否能补偿覆盖区域； 发送子模块 6424 , 连接至判断子模块 6422 , 设 置为根据判断子模块 6422判断的补偿覆盖区域向小区发送休眠允许消息或 所述休眠拒绝消息。 第一确定子模块 6242 , 连接至第一发送子模块 6424和第二发送子模块 6428 , 设置为 居第一发送子模块 6424发送的休眠允许消息和第二发送子 模块 6428发送的休眠拒绝消息确定执行休眠操作。 第二确定子模块 6244 , 连接至第一发送子模块 6424和第二发送子模块 6428 , 设置为 居第一发送 子模块 6424发送的休眠允许消息和第二发送子模块 6428发送的休眠拒绝消 息确定不执行休眠操作。 综上所述， 根据本发明的上述实施例， 提供了一种小区休眠的处理方法 及系统。 通过邻区向小区发送休眠响应消息， 以便小区 -据该休眠响应消息 确定是否执行休眠操作， 解决了小区休眠时造成的网络覆盖区域重复或断裂 的问题， 从而保证了用户通信。 显然， 本领域的技术人员应该明白， 上述的本发明的各模块或各步骤可 以用通用的计算装置来实现， 它们可以集中在单个的计算装置上， 或者分布 在多个计算装置所组成的网络上， 可选地， 它们可以用计算装置可执行的程 序代码来实现， 从而， 可以将它们存储在存储装置中由计算装置来执行， 或 者将它们分别制作成各个集成电路模块， 或者将它们中的多个模块或步骤制 作成单个集成电路模块来实现。 这样， 本发明不限制于任何特定的硬件和软 件结合。 以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已， 并不用于限制本发明， 对于本 领域的技术人员来说， 本发明可以有各种更改和变化。 凡在本发明的^"神和 原则之内， 所作的任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等， 均应包含在本发明的保护 范围之内。
