Description

Cell energy-saving deactivation method, system and equipment
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular, to a method, a system, and a device for cell energy saving deactivation.
Background
Energy Saving Management (ESM) refers to optimizing the utilization of resources of the whole or part of a network. The ESM mechanism adjusts the network configuration by collecting and evaluating relevant information from the network, initiating appropriate actions to meet the service requirements.
The energy-saving management scheme mainly comprises two basic processes of energy-saving activation and energy-saving deactivation, and specifically comprises the following steps:
an energy-saving activation process: the purpose of saving energy is achieved by closing the cell of the base station or limiting the use of part of physical resources, and the corresponding cell of the base station enters an energy-saving state.
An energy-saving deactivation process: the closed cells are turned on or the use of restricted physical resources is resumed to meet the increased traffic demand and quality of service (Qos) requirements, and the corresponding base station cells are resumed from the energy saving state to the normal state.
When a certain base station cell enters an energy-saving state, the surrounding base station cells in a normal state enter an energy-saving compensation activation state, and the service loss of the cells in the energy-saving state is compensated by methods such as enlarging a coverage range and the like. Whether this process is required depends on the specific energy saving scheme.
Currently, the energy saving activation process is performed by the base station (eNB) itself, i.e. the eNB closes its own managed cell or restricts the use of part of the physical resources of the cell.
The energy-saving deactivation process needs triggering of the adjacent eNB, and the base station cannot automatically start the cell which enters the energy-saving state or recover the use of the limited physical resources. For example, as shown in fig. 1, eNB1 sends a cell activation request to eNB2 to request eNB2 to turn on one or more cells that have entered a power saving state; after the eNB2 turns on the cell entering the energy saving state, a cell activation response message is returned to the eNB 1.
After the base station closes the cell managed by itself, the base station needs To include a Deactivation Indication information element (Deactivation Indication IE) in a serving cell modification information element (serving cell To modification IE) of a base station Configuration Update (eNB Configuration Update) message sent To the neighboring base station To notify the neighboring base station that the corresponding cell enters an energy saving state.
As shown in fig. 2, a network configuration diagram in which an LTE system and another system coexist is shown.
In the process of implementing the invention, the inventor finds that the following technical problems exist in the prior art:
in the prior art, the energy-saving deactivation process needs the triggering of the adjacent base station, and the signaling interaction and the time delay are increased, so that the complexity of the system is increased.

Detailed Description
In order to reduce the complexity of energy saving deactivation, an embodiment of the present invention provides an energy saving deactivation method, where after a base station automatically deactivates an energy saving state of a managed cell, a notification that the cell leaves the energy saving state is sent to a neighboring base station, and after receiving the notification, the neighboring base station deactivates an energy saving compensation state of its own managed cell.
Referring to fig. 3, the energy saving deactivation method provided in the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:
step 30: the base station automatically deactivates the energy-saving state of the managed cell;
here, the automatic deactivation of the energy saving state of the managed cell means that, when not triggered by the neighboring base station, the cell in the closed state is turned on or the use of the physical resource restricted by the cell is resumed, so that the corresponding cell leaves the energy saving state.
Step 31: and the base station sends the notice that the cell leaves the energy-saving state to the adjacent base station of the base station.
When the base station and the neighboring base station are both located in the LTE system, the specific implementation ofstep 31 may be as follows:
and the base station sends the notice that the cell leaves the energy-saving state to the adjacent base station of the base station through a base station configuration updating process or a Radio Access Network (RAN) information management process.
Specifically, the base station sends the notification that the cell leaves the energy saving state to the neighboring base station of the base station through the base station configuration update process, and the specific implementation may adopt the following two modes:
firstly, the base station sends a base station Configuration Update message (eNB Configuration Update) carrying a Deactivation Indication information element (Deactivation Indication IE) to the neighboring base station through an X2 interface; the Deactivation Indication IE carries an activation flag which represents that the cell is opened;
secondly, the base station sends a base station configuration update message which does not carry the Deactivation Indication IE to the neighboring base station through an X2 interface.
Specifically, the base station sends the notification that the cell leaves the energy saving state to the neighboring base station of the base station through the RAN information management process, and the specific implementation may adopt the following manner:
the base station sends a base station Direct Information transmission message (eNB Direct Information Transfer) carrying an energy-saving indication Information Element (IE) to a Mobile Management Entity (MME); the energy-saving indication IE comprises an activation mark for indicating that the cell is started, a source cell identifier, a target cell identifier, routing information and the like; and the MME sends an MME Direct Information Transfer (MME Direct Information Transfer) carrying the energy-saving indication IE to the adjacent base station.
Instep 31, when the base station and the neighboring base station are located in different communication systems, the base station may send a notification that the cell leaves the energy saving state to the neighboring base station of the base station through a RAN information management process. Specifically, the following three cases can be classified:
first, the base station is located in an LTE system, the neighbor base station is located in a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) or a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM);
the base station sends the notification that the cell leaves the energy-saving state to the neighboring base station of the base station through the RAN information management process, and the specific implementation may be as follows:
the base station sends a base station direct information transmission message carrying the energy-saving indication IE to a core network; the energy-saving indication IE comprises an activation mark for indicating that the cell is started, a source cell identifier, a target cell identifier, routing information and the like; the core network sends a Direct Information Transfer (Direct Information Transfer) carrying the energy-saving indication IE to a control node managing the adjacent base station; and the control node sends the direct information transmission message to the adjacent base station.
Here, if the neighboring base station is located in the UMTS system, the control node that manages the neighboring base station is an RNC. And if the adjacent base station is positioned in the GSM system, the control node for managing the adjacent base station is the BSC.
Secondly, the base station is positioned in a UMTS system or a GSM system, and the adjacent base station is positioned in an LTE system;
the base station sends the notification that the cell leaves the energy-saving state to the neighboring base station of the base station through the RAN information management process, and the specific implementation may be as follows:
a control node for managing the base station sends a direct information transmission message carrying an energy-saving indication IE to a core network according to the indication of the base station; the energy-saving indication IE comprises an activation mark for indicating that the cell is started, a source cell identifier, a target cell identifier, routing information and the like; and the core network sends the direct information transmission message of the MME carrying the energy-saving indication IE to the adjacent base station.
Here, if the base station is located in the UMTS system, the control node that manages the base station is an RNC. And if the base station is positioned in the GSM system, the control node for managing the base station is the BSC.
Thirdly, the base station is positioned in a UMTS system, the adjacent base station is positioned in a GSM system, or the base station is positioned in the GSM system, and the adjacent base station is positioned in the UMTS system;
the base station sends the notification that the cell leaves the energy-saving state to the neighboring base station of the base station through the RAN information management process, and the specific implementation may be as follows:
the control node for managing the base station sends the notice that the cell leaves the energy-saving state to the control node for managing the adjacent base station through an Iur-g interface in the process of RAN information management according to the indication of the base station; and the control node for managing the adjacent base station sends the notice to the adjacent base station.
Of course, the base station and the neighbor base station may both be located in the UMTS system or the GSM system.
Here, if the base station is located in the UMTS system, the control node that manages the base station is an RNC. And if the base station is positioned in the GSM system, the control node for managing the base station is the BSC. Here, if the neighboring base station is located in the UMTS system, the control node that manages the neighboring base station is an RNC. And if the adjacent base station is positioned in the GSM system, the control node for managing the adjacent base station is the BSC.
Instep 30, the base station automatically deactivates the energy saving state of the managed cell, and the specific implementation thereof may be as follows:
the base station deactivates the energy-saving state of the managed cell when the preset time is reached; or,
when the number of terminals sending the access request exceeds a preset threshold value of the number of access terminals, the base station deactivates the energy-saving state of the managed cell; or,
the base station deactivates the energy-saving state of the managed cell when receiving a deactivation triggering signaling sent by a self-optimizing network (SON) module; the SON module comprises a Coverage Capacity Optimization (CCO) module, a cell anomaly compensation (COC) module and the like; or,
and the base station receives load information sent by the adjacent base station, and deactivates the energy-saving state of the managed cell when determining that the load of the adjacent base station exceeds a preset load threshold according to the load information.
Specifically, when the base station and the neighboring base station are both located in the LTE system, the base station receives the load information in a resource status reporting process or a RAN information management process with the neighboring base station. And when the base station and the adjacent base station are positioned in different communication systems, the base station receives the load information in the RAN information management process of the adjacent base station.

step 40: a base station receives a notice that a cell leaves an energy-saving state from a neighboring base station;
step 41: the base station executes preset operation of deactivating the energy-saving compensation state on the cell which is managed by the base station and is in the energy-saving compensation state, so that the cell leaves the energy-saving compensation state.
Instep 41, the base station performing a preset operation of deactivating the energy saving compensation state includes: reducing the signal transmitting power of the antenna, reducing the coverage of the antenna, and adjusting the direction angle of the antenna.
The embodiment of the invention also provides an energy-saving deactivation notification forwarding method, which specifically comprises the following steps:
step 1: the MME receives a notice that the cell leaves the energy-saving state from the base station;
step 2: the MME sends the notification to a neighbor base station of the base station; or sending the notification to the SGSN to instruct the SGSN to send the notification to the neighbor base stations of the base station.

The present invention is described in detail below:
the core idea of the invention is as follows: the base station informs the energy-saving state of the cell of the adjacent base station through a corresponding interface after the cell is automatically started, namely the energy-saving state of the cell is automatically deactivated. The interface procedures and messages involved include:
x2: eNB CONFIGURATION UPDATE procedure (ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE, ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACCOWLEDGE)
S1: RAN Information management process, including MME Direct Information Transfer message and eNB Direct Information Transfer message;
iu: RAN Information management procedure (Direct Information Transfer).
In an LTE system, for a scenario with an X2 interface, after a base station automatically deactivates a cell energy saving state, a method of notifying a neighboring cell introduces a cell activation identifier or omits a related IE in an eNB configuration update process; for a scene without an X2 interface, a mode of informing a neighboring cell carries an energy-saving indication in a RAN information management process; another possible implementation scheme is that in the inter-system, after the base station automatically deactivates the cell energy saving state, the mode of notifying the neighboring cell is adopted to carry the energy saving indication in the RAN information management process.
The energy-saving scheme of the invention comprises the following three steps:
the first scheme is as follows: LTE system energy saving deactivation scheme
For the first scheme (a), if an X2 interface exists between enbs in the LTE system, the corresponding signaling flow is as shown in fig. 5, and the specific steps are as follows:
step 1, the base station automatically deactivates the energy-saving state of the self-managed cell according to the energy-saving strategy, namely, the base station automatically starts the self-managed cell to enable the self-managed cell to leave the energy-saving state.
The energy-saving policy may also be triggered by other reasons, such as triggering of some self-optimization network (SON) modules, where the SON modules include a Coverage Capacity Optimization (CCO) module, a cell anomaly compensation (COC), and the CCO module may trigger the base station to automatically deactivate the energy-saving state of the self-managed cell when capacity increase or coverage improvement is required. The COC module can trigger the base station to automatically deactivate the energy-saving state of the self-managed cell when the cell is abnormal. The SON module may be disposed inside the base station.
Step 2, notifying the adjacent base station that the state of the cell is activated through an eNB Configuration Update message of an X2 interface;
specifically, the method comprises the following steps. Modify the Deactivation Indication IE of the ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE message (introduce an "activated" energy saving state) to complete the process; or the Deactivation Indication IE is not included in the enb configurationupdate message.
And step 3, the adjacent base station returns an eNB Configuration Update ACKNOWLEDGE message to confirm that the eNB Configuration Update process is completed.
And 4, the adjacent base station executes preset operation of deactivating the energy-saving compensation state on the cell which is managed by the adjacent base station and is in the energy-saving compensation state, so that the cell leaves the energy-saving compensation state.
For the first mode in step 2, the eNB Configuration Update message of the X2 interface needs to be modified, and an "activated" energy saving state Indication is introduced into the activation Indication IE, where the modified activation Indication IE is as follows:
Figure BSA00000227853700111
for the second mode of step 2, since the Deactivation Indication IE is "O", that is, an option, if the base station does not include this IE in the eNB Configuration Update message after opening the cell by itself, it indicates that the cell is activated and leaves the energy saving state.
For the first scheme (B), if there is no X2 interface between enbs, the process is completed through the S1 interface, and the corresponding signaling flow is shown in fig. 6, and the specific steps are as follows:
step 1, the base station automatically deactivates the energy-saving state of the self-managed cell according to the energy-saving strategy, namely, the base station automatically starts the self-managed cell to enable the self-managed cell to leave the energy-saving state. The energy saving strategy may also be triggered by other reasons, such as triggering of some SON modules.
Step 2-3, the base station informs the adjacent base station that the state of the cell is activated through the RAN information management process of an S1 interface;
specifically, the energy saving indication IE is carried by the eNB Direct Information Transfer and MME Direct Information Transfer messages of the modified S1 interface to complete the process;
and 4, the adjacent base station executes preset operation of deactivating the energy-saving compensation state on the cell which is managed by the adjacent base station and is in the energy-saving compensation state, so that the cell leaves the energy-saving compensation state.
For step 2 and step 3, energy saving indication information is transferred between enbs where the X2 interface does not exist through RIM procedure of S1 interface. The energy saving indication IE is specifically set as follows:
Figure BSA00000227853700121
scheme II: inter-system energy-saving deactivation scheme
The signaling flow of the second scheme is shown in fig. 7, and the specific steps are as follows:
step 1, the base station automatically deactivates the energy-saving state of the self-managed cell according to the energy-saving strategy, namely, the base station automatically starts the self-managed cell to enable the self-managed cell to leave the energy-saving state. The energy saving strategy may also be triggered by other reasons, such as triggering of some SON modules.
Step 2, informing the adjacent base station that the energy-saving state of the cell is activated through the RIM process of an S1 interface and an Iu interface;
specifically, the MME direction Information Transfer and eNB direction Information Transfer of the S1 interface and the direction Information Transfer of the Iu interface are modified, and the energy saving indication IE is carried to complete the process;
and 3, the adjacent base station executes preset operation of deactivating the energy-saving compensation state on the cell which is managed by the adjacent base station and is in the energy-saving compensation state, so that the cell leaves the energy-saving compensation state.
For fig. 7, the base station 1 is an eNB of the LTE system, and the core network node connected thereto is an MME;
the base station 2 is NodeB of UMTS system, the core network node connected with it is SGSN; or, the base station 2 is a BTS of a GSM system, and a core network node connected thereto is an SGSN;
if the base station 1/2 is a NodeB of a UMTS system and the base station 2/1 is a BTS of a GSM system, there is no core network node.
For step 2, the energy saving indication information is transferred between RAN nodes of the heterogeneous system through RIM procedures of the S1 interface and the Iu interface. On an S1 interface, the method is realized through MME Direct Information Transfer and eNB Direct Information Transfer; on the Iu interface, the Information is transmitted through the core network by the Direct Information Transfer process. The energy saving indication IE is specifically set as follows:
Figure BSA00000227853700131
Figure BSA00000227853700141
when the base station is located in the UTRAN, the specific setting of the energy saving indication IE may also be as follows:
Figure BSA00000227853700142
the invention is mainly applied to the following three scenes:
scene one: the service load of the base station conforms to the periodic rule;
scene two: opening a hotspot coverage cell;
scene three: and the base station automatically deactivates the energy-saving cell by combining the load information of the adjacent cell.
For the three scenarios, as well as the scheme one (a), the scheme one (B), and the scheme two, the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:
the first embodiment is as follows: corresponding scenario one, scheme one (A)
For macro base stations, most of the traffic is concentrated in some peak periods, and in some special time periods such as 1 to 5 am, the traffic demand is very small, that is, the traffic load of the base station conforms to the periodic law. At this time, it is considered that some cells are turned off for the purpose of energy saving in the [ n1, n2] time period and the neighbor cells are notified to enter the energy saving compensation state, and some cells are automatically turned on by the eNB to return to the normal state at a specific time point n2 and the neighbor cells are notified to leave the energy saving compensation state. Therefore, the requirements of services can be met, and the aim of saving energy can be fulfilled.
If an X2 interface exists between base stations in LTE, for a base station device at an edge position (eNB 1 of LTE system), the specific implementation steps are as follows:
step 1, the eNB1 automatically deactivates the energy saving state of the managed cell at a specific time point, that is, the eNB1 automatically starts the managed cell to leave the energy saving state;
step 2, the eNB1 notifies the neighboring cell that the energy saving state of the cell is "activated" through an eNB Configuration Update message of an X2 interface;
for the base station device in the middle position (eNB 2 of LTE system), the specific implementation steps are as follows:
step 1, the eNB2 receives an eNB Configuration Update message sent by an adjacent base station eNB1, learns that the adjacent cell is in an energy-saving deactivation state and is normally started;
step 2, the cell of eNB2 leaves the energy saving compensation state.

If no X2 interface exists between the base stations in LTE, the schematic diagram of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.
For the base station device (eNB 1 of LTE system) at the edge position in the schematic diagram, the specific implementation steps are as follows:

step 2, the cell of eNB2 leaves the energy saving compensation state.
Example three: corresponding to scenario one and scenario two

For the base station device (node 1: eNB of LTE system) at the edge position in the diagram, the specific implementation steps are as follows:
step 1, the eNB automatically deactivates the energy-saving state of the self-managed cell at a specific time point, namely the eNB automatically starts the self-managed cell to enable the self-managed cell to leave the energy-saving state;
step 2, the eNB carries energy-saving indication information through the RIM process of the S1 interface and the Iu interface, and informs the adjacent cell of the different system that the energy-saving state of the cell is activated;
for a base station device (node 2: UMTS or GSM system base station) in an intermediate position in the diagram, the specific implementation steps are as follows:
