11 Claims

1. A method for determining a working mode, comprising:

determining, by one of a network element, an element management system and a network management system, static importance of a base station or cell according to static data of the base station or cell;

determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, dynamic importance of the base station or cell according to dynamic data of the base station or cell;

determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, the working mode of the base station or cell according to both the static importance and the dynamic importance;

wherein determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, the working mode of the base station or cell according to both the static importance and the dynamic importance comprises:

determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, that the static importance is in a first range and the dynamic importance is out of a second range, wherein the first range is a range representing that the static importance is important, and the second range is a range representing that the dynamic importance is important; determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, that the working mode of the base station or cell is an active mode;

or determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, that the static importance is in a first range and the dynamic importance is in a second range, wherein the first range is a range representing that the static importance is important, and the second range is a range representing that the dynamic importance is important; determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, that the working mode of the base station or cell is an active mode;

or determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, that the static importance is out of a first range and the dynamic importance is in a second range, wherein the first range is a range representing that the static importance is important, and the second range is a range representing that the dynamic importance is important; determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, that the working mode of the base station or cell is an active mode;

or determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, that the static importance is out of a first range and the dynamic importance is out of a second range, wherein the first range is a range representing that the static importance is important, and the second range is a range representing that the dynamic importance is important; determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, that the working mode of the base station or cell is a passive mode;

or determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, comprehensive importance of the base station or cell according to both the static importance and the dynamic importance; determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, that the comprehensive importance is in a third range, wherein the third range is a range representing that the comprehensive importance is important; determining, by one of the network element, the element management system and the network management system, that the working mode of the base station or cell is an active mode.
