Energy saving method, system and device for base station

A power saving method for controlling base station operation, comprising:

• receiving a second activation request for requesting a capacity-boosting base station to enter an intermediate state from a dormant state, wherein the capacity-boosting base station in the intermediate state bears user equipment in a connection state but does not bear user equipment in an idle state, and the capacity-boosting base station in the dormant state does not bear user equipment in any state;
• entering the intermediate state from the dormant state and sending a response message corresponding to the second activation request to a base station controller in response to the second activation request;
• and
• establishing a connection with a user equipment, wherein the connection of the user equipment is transferred to the capacity-boosting base station after the capacity-boosting base station enters the intermediate state.

A base station, comprising:

• an antenna, configured to receive a second activation request for requesting the base station to enter an intermediate state from a dormant state, wherein the base station in the intermediate state bears user equipment in a connection state but does not bear user equipment in an idle state, and the base station in the dormant state does not bear user equipment in any state;
• a processor, configured to enter the intermediate state from the dormant state and send a response message corresponding to the second activation request to a base station controller in response to the second activation request;
• and
• a communication link interface, configured to establish connections with user equipment having connections transferred to the base station after the intermediate state is entered.
