METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE BASE STATION POWER SAVING

摘要

A method and system for implementing base station power saving is disclosed. In the method, when performing a transmit power planning for a Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) carrier, it is determined whether a traffic channel is in an idle state, it is determined whether the traffic channel is in a discontinuous transmission DTX silent period, when the traffic channel is in a non-idle state; and transmit power of channels configured on the BCCH carrier in some of time slots is reduced when the traffic channel is in the idle state or when the traffic channel is in the non-idle state and is in the DTX silent period. With the present disclosure, as the transmit power can be reduced according to a demand on the planned part of time slots, the power consumption on the BCCH carrier can be optimized or its influence on the power consumption of the base station can be minimized while maintaining an operating performance of the whole network.
