Network energy saving management method, apparatus, and system

A network energy saving management method, comprising:

• receiving a first energy saving control message, wherein the first energy saving control message comprises network energy saving scope information and a first network energy saving mode, the network energy saving scope information is for determining a target network node set, the target network node set comprises one or more network nodes that are to perform an energy saving operation, and the first network energy saving mode indicates a first requirement on network energy saving effect of the target network node set and a network performance loss of the target network node set, wherein the network energy saving scope information comprises at least one of the following:
• a geographic location of a network node that is to perform an energy saving operation;
• or a network standard of the network node that is to perform the energy saving operation;
• and
• triggering, based on the first energy saving control message, the target network node set to perform the energy saving operation, wherein the energy saving operation causes the network energy saving effect of the target network node set and the network performance loss of the target network node set to meet the first network energy saving mode.

A first network management unit, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor, wherein the programming instructions, when executed, cause the first network management unit to perform operations comprising:
• determining network energy saving scope information and a first network energy saving mode, wherein the network energy saving scope information is for determining a target network node set, the target network node set comprises one or more network nodes that are to perform an energy saving operation, and the first network energy saving mode indicates a first requirement on a network energy saving effect of the target network node set and a network performance loss of the target network node set, wherein the network energy saving scope information comprises at least one of the following:
• a geographic location of a network node that is to perform an energy saving operation;
• or a network standard of the network node that is to perform the energy saving operation;
• and
• sending a first energy saving control message, wherein the first energy saving control message comprises the network energy saving scope information and the first network energy saving mode.
