Abstract
A base station clustering method, the method including a clustering server clustering base stations in a base station set managed by the clustering server, to obtain at least one cluster, determining a cluster with a quantity of base stations in the cluster being 1, determining a neighboring base station of the base station in the cluster, and adding, when the neighboring base station is a cluster-head base station, the base station as a cluster-member base station to a cluster to which the neighboring base station belongs, so that the separately clustered base station can be added to another cluster, and a cluster-head base station in the another cluster can control a working status of the base station.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- clustering, by a clustering server, base stations in a base station set managed by the clustering server, to obtain at least one cluster, each of the at least one cluster comprising a cluster-head base station configured for controlling one or more cluster-member base stations of a respective cluster;
- determining, by the clustering server, a first cluster in the at least one cluster with a quantity of base stations in the first cluster being 1, the first cluster comprising a first base station;
- determining, by the clustering server, a first neighboring base station of the first base station, the first neighboring base station belonging to a second cluster of the at least one cluster, wherein the first neighboring base station has a distance that is less than a first threshold from the first base station, or the first neighboring base station is configured to send one or more pilot signals to the first base station with an average pilot power of the one or more pilot signals received by the first base station greater than a second threshold;
- and
- adding, by the clustering server, when the first neighboring base station is a cluster-head base station of the second cluster, the first base station as a first cluster-member base station to the second cluster such that the first base station is re-clustered into the second cluster.
A clustering server, wherein the clustering server comprises:
- a processor;
- and
- a transceiver connected to the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to cluster base stations in a base station set managed by the clustering server, to obtain at least one cluster, each of the at least one cluster comprising a cluster-head base station configured for controlling one or more cluster-member base stations of a respective cluster;
- wherein the processor is configured to determine a first cluster in the at least one cluster with a quantity of base stations in the first cluster being 1, the first cluster comprising a first base station;
- wherein the processor is configured to determine a first neighboring base station of the first base station, the first neighboring base station belonging to a second cluster of the at least one cluster, wherein the first neighboring base station has a distance that is less than a first threshold from the first base station, or the first neighboring base station is configured to send one or more pilot signals to the first base station with an average pilot power of the one or more pilot signals received by the first base station greater than a second threshold;
- and
- wherein the processor is configured to add, when the first neighboring base station is a cluster-head base station of the second cluster, the first base station as a first cluster-member base station to the second cluster.
A non-transitory processor-readable medium having a program to be executed by a processor, the program including instructions for:
- clustering base stations in a base station set managed by a clustering server, to obtain at least one cluster, each of the at least one cluster comprising a cluster-head base station configured for controlling one or more cluster-member base stations of a respective cluster;
- determining a first cluster from the at least one cluster with a quantity of base stations in the first cluster being 1, the first cluster comprising a first base station;
- determining a first neighboring base station of the first base station, the first neighboring base station belonging to a second cluster of the at least one cluster, wherein the first neighboring base station has a distance that is less than a first threshold from the first base station, or the first neighboring base station is configured to one or more pilot signal s to the first base station with an average pilot power of the one or more pilot signals received by the first base station greater than a second threshold;
- and
- adding, when the first neighboring base station is a cluster-head base station of the second cluster, the first base station as a first cluster-member base station to the second cluster such that the first base station is re-clustered into the second cluster.
