Of course, in this embodiment, the charging management unit may be directly integrated in the wireless charging unit or the baseband processing unit (not shown) of the base station, which is not limited in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 12, the process for implementing wireless charging by the mobile terminal 4 includes:

1) The mobile terminal initiates a wireless charging request to the base station when the battery power is insufficient.

Of course, in this embodiment, when the battery power of the mobile terminal is lower than the preset threshold (A), the mobile terminal sends a wireless charging request to the base station to perform wireless charging;

That is, the wireless charging request may be initiated by the mobile terminal, or may be actively triggered by the mobile terminal in the background by using an internal application, which is not limited in this embodiment.

2) After receiving the wireless charging request sent by the mobile terminal by the receiving antenna 1, the charging management unit 2 determines whether it is necessary to activate the wireless charging function, that is, whether the wireless charging unit 3 is in an open state; if yes, the charging management unit 2 controlling the wireless charging unit 3 to wirelessly charge the mobile terminal; or not, the charging management unit 2 first turns on the wireless charging unit 3, and then controls the wireless charging unit 3 to wirelessly perform the mobile terminal Charging.

In this step, after receiving the wireless charging request of the mobile terminal, the receiving unit of the base station sends the wireless charging request to the charging management unit, and the charging management unit first determines whether the wireless charging unit is in an open state, if it is not open. The state (ie, the off state) first turns on the wireless charging unit, and then generates a corresponding charging command according to the wireless charging request, and sends the charging command to the wireless charging unit, so that the wireless charging unit wirelessly charges the mobile terminal.

Of course, in this embodiment, when the base station receives the wireless charging request, the base station first sends the wireless charging request to the baseband processing unit, and the baseband processing unit performs corresponding processing on the charging request to obtain a processing result, and the processing is performed. The result is sent to the charging management unit, and the charging management unit controls the wireless charging unit to wirelessly charge the mobile terminal according to the processing result.

Further, the method may further include:

3) the mobile terminal initiates a stop wireless charging request to the base station; In one case, the mobile terminal initiates a stop wireless charging request to the base station according to the battery power condition, for example, when the mobile terminal battery power reaches a predicted threshold B (B>A). Of course, in this embodiment, the mobile terminal may send other signals to the base station by using other methods, and the user stops the wireless charging, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In another case, when the mobile terminal leaves the service area of the base station due to reasons such as mobile, etc., the base station may also initiate a request to stop the wireless charging;

For example, when the user camps from one cell to another according to the signal measurement result, the foregoing stop charging wireless charging request is sent to the base station;

4) The charging management unit stops charging the mobile terminal for wireless charging according to the received stop wireless charging request.

Of course, in this embodiment, the charging management unit can also track the number of wireless charging users in the cell, and decide whether to stop or continue to maintain the wireless charging function;

For example, when no terminal in the cell is performing wireless charging, the wireless charging function is turned off; that is, the base station does not receive any wireless charging request sent by the terminal within the first preset time, and turns off the wireless charging function.

Of course, when the second preset time is reached, and before any wireless charging request sent by the terminal is received, the wireless charging function or the like is turned on.

That is to say, in the embodiment, the wireless charging function can be turned on or off or maintained according to the set time. Embodiment 2

The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the charging management unit 2 can be integrated in the controller or integrated with the wireless network control unit, as shown in FIG. 13, FIG. 13 is an embodiment of the present invention. A second application example diagram is provided. In this embodiment, the charging management unit may be deployed independently in the controller, and the function of the charging management unit may be added to any existing unit in the controller, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The different process from the first embodiment is: when the base station receives the wireless charging request sent by the mobile terminal, the wireless charging is performed through an interface between the base station and the controller (such as interface X, etc., different communication system names are different) The request is sent to the controller, and then, after receiving the wireless charging request, the charging management unit in the controller interacts with the base station to determine whether the wireless charging unit of the base station is in an open state, and if the wireless charging unit is in a closed state, The base station sends an instruction to turn on the wireless charging unit, so that the base station turns on the wireless charging unit according to the instruction.

Of course, in this embodiment, the controller can also maintain or turn off or turn on the wireless charging function according to the actual situation, and send an indication to the wireless charging unit through the same interface. Embodiment 3

The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the wireless charging unit can wirelessly charge the mobile terminal through the transmitting antenna of the base station, or can wirelessly charge the mobile terminal through its own charging transmitting antenna, that is, The charging transmitting antenna is a customized one or more antennas. If it is customized, the charging transmitting antenna is connected to the wireless charging unit, and is mainly used for wireless charging of the mobile terminal, that is, the wireless charging unit controls the charging transmitting antenna. Wireless charging is performed for the mobile terminal.

Embodiment 4
