Currently, access network equipment (such as base stations) can enter certain energy-saving modes for the purpose of energy-saving. For example, the core network equipment can shut down some or all downlink transmissions of the base station and enable the base station to continuously monitor WUS from terminals or other devices. When the base station in energy-saving mode receives WUS, the base station can enter other base station states, such as the base station is fully turned on, or the base station is turned on. Enable light energy saving mode, etc.

Some concepts and/or terms involved in the cell processing methods, devices, network-side devices, and storage media provided in the embodiments of the present application are explained below.

1. Downlink wake-up signal (Down Link WUS)

In the New Radio (NR) system, in order to further improve the power saving performance of the User Equipment (UE), a wake-up signal based on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, PDCCH) PDCCH is introduced. The function of WUS is to inform the UE whether it needs to monitor the PDCCH during the duration (onDuration) of a specific discontinuous reception (DRX). If there is no data, the UE does not need to listen to the PDCCH during the onDuration period, which is equivalent to the UE being in a sleep state throughout the entire DRX long cycle, thereby further saving power.

2. WUS signal

The WUS signal is a kind of downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI), which can usually be called DCI scrambled by using Power Saving RNTI (PS-RNTI) for cyclic redundancy check (Cyclic Redundancy Check, CRC). (DCI with CRC scrambled by PS-RNTI, DCP). Among them, CRC refers to: Cyclic Redundancy Check. PS-RNTI is an RNTI allocated by the network to the UE specifically for power saving features. The DCI scrambled with this RNTI carries the network-side device’s response to the UE. Wake/sleep indication. Based on this indication, the UE decides whether to start the onDuration timer in the next DRX cycle and whether to monitor the PDCCH.

3. Cell activation request

In the existing technology of the NR system, the Next Generation-Radio Access Network (NG-RAN) node 1 can send a cell activation request to the NG-RAN node 2 through the Xn interface. The specific information elements are as follows:

4. NR serving cell update message

In the existing technology of the NR system, NG-RAN nodes can exchange configuration information of serving cell updates. When a serving cell of a certain NG-RAN node is closed due to energy saving reasons, it can inform other NG-RAN nodes through an NR serving cell update message. RAN node, the specific cells are as follows:

In the existing technology, a base station that can provide cell resident capabilities for terminals must at least open uplink and downlink transmission channels, that is, at least send public signals in the downlink direction, such as synchronization signal block (Synchronization Signal/PBCH Block, SSB)/system message Block (System Information Block, SIB) 1, the upstream direction can receive random access requests from terminals.

However, since downlink transmission accounts for a large proportion of the base station's uplink and downlink transmission energy consumption, in order to save the base station's energy consumption, you can turn off the base station's downlink transmission and increase the public signal transmission period. After the base station enters such energy-saving mode, the base station needs to be assisted by network-side equipment or terminals to help the base station return to the normal operating mode from the energy-saving mode in a timely manner. One possible implementation is The method may be that the terminal wakes up the base station in the energy-saving mode by sending WUS.

At present, when the load of network-side equipment is light (for example, there is little terminal business traffic during late night hours in urban areas and low terminal density in suburbs), network-side equipment may cause multiple base stations to enter energy-saving mode. However, if the terminal sends There is no clear target receiving end for WUS signals, which may cause multiple network-side devices to be awakened by the terminal, because a terminal only needs to reside in one cell to maintain network availability. Therefore, waking up multiple network-side devices may cause a certain amount of waste of energy consumption. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application needs to solve the problem of how the network side equipment (such as access network equipment, core network equipment) determines the base station that needs to be activated and/or awakened when multiple base stations in energy-saving mode receive WUS signals sent by the terminal. Avoiding activation and/or waking up energy-saving mode base stations that are unnecessarily activated/awakened is an urgent issue to be solved.

The embodiments of this application mainly solve the problem of how to determine the base station that needs to be activated when multiple base stations receive the wake-up signal sent by the terminal through interaction between base stations and/or interaction between core network devices, so as to avoid multiple base stations receiving the wake-up signal at the same time. When the terminal sends a wake-up signal, it is woken up at the same time, causing unnecessary power consumption.
