Communication system comprising small cell base station, device and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a communication system comprising a small cell base station, a device and a method. The system comprises a cell cluster which comprises a main control unit, an anchor cell base station and a common cell base station. The common cell base station comprises a small cell base station; the main control unit in the cell cluster controls all anchor cell base stations and all common cell base stations in the cell cluster; all the anchor cell base stations in the cell cluster are in the activation state so as to guarantee the constant coverage of the cell cluster, wherein the quantity of the anchor cell base stations in the cell cluster is smaller than that of the all cell base stations in the cell cluster; and the common base stations determines whether the common base stations are in the activation state according to the control of the main control unit. The application of the invention can save the energy consumption while guaranteeing the coverage effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a communication system, device and method including a small cell base station. Background technique [0002] In order to further improve the efficiency of frequency utilization and supplement the communication capacity of communication blind spots or communication hotspots (referred to as blind filling or hot spot filling), the industry has proposed the concept of a small cell (Small Cell) with a small coverage area, which can be deployed by deploying small cell base stations. Realize supplementary blindness or supplementary heat. For example, adding small cell base stations outside the coverage of the original macro cell (Macro Cell) or at the coverage blind spot of the original macro cell, so as to realize blind filling; another example, adding deployment at the communication hot spot of the original macro cell Small cell base stations, so as to achieve he...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Due to the small coverage of small cells, it is often necessary to deploy a large number of small cell base stations in practical applications. If all small cell base stations are always activated in order to ensure the coverage effect, the network energy consumption will be large, which is not conducive to energy saving. , especially in a scenario where small cell base stations are densely deployed, all small cell base stations being activated will be a huge test for network energy consumption, and if only some small cell base stations are activated, how to ensure coverage becomes a need Technical issues resolved
