Abstract:
A method for energy saving in communication system, where a base station enters idle state if no residence of user equipment is detected in a cell, comprises: receiving, by the base station in idle state, a response signal from user equipment after receiving a paging signal sent by the base station with a period N times a length of a radio frame; switching, by the base station, to active state. An energy saving base station and a microcell access gateway are also disclosed. Since the method is independent of whether a user equipment has been sent a signal to a macro network, application scope is enlarged. Since whether to enter active state is determined according to the feedback of user terminal, whether there is residence of user equipment in the microcell can be sensed more accurately, improving accuracy of state switching and reliability of smart energy saving of the microcell.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method, an apparatus, and a system for disabling a standard network. The method includes: acquiring processing capability information of all standard networks in a multi-standard network; judging, according to the processing capability information of all of the standard networks, whether to disable a first standard network; when it is necessary to disable the first standard network, sending disabling information to the first standard network which needs to be disabled; sending information of subscribing to a first energy conservation event to a second standard network; and when information of triggering the first energy conservation event returned by the second standard network is received, sending enabling information to the first standard network. Therefore, in the method, disablement and enablement of a base station or cell in a multi-standard network is uniformly coordinated and managed by a network management system. Moreover, the method adapts to variations of services in the multi-standard network, and in particular, to a burst service.
