Claim Text:
1. A method for energy saving compensation, comprising: expanding, by a base station, a signal coverage area to form a new cell when an energy saving activation requirement is satisfied so that an energy-saving cell managed by the base station switches users to the new cell and activates an energy-saving state; and switching, by the base station, the users to the energy-saving cell and reducing the signal coverage area if the energy-saving cell managed by the base station deactivates the energy-saving state when an energy saving deactivation requirement is satisfied; wherein the base station expands or reduces the signal coverage area by increasing or lowering any one or combination of transmission parameters as follows: antenna height; wherein expanding, by the base station, the signal coverage area to form the new cell when the energy saving activation requirement is satisfied so that the energy-saving cell managed by the base station switches the users to the new cell and activates the energy-saving state specifically comprises: obtaining, by the base station, cell coverage information and load information of the energy-saving cell managed by the base station; expanding, by the base station, the signal coverage area to form the new cell according to the cell coverage information and any one or combination of the transmission parameters, upon determining that the energy saving activation requirement is satisfied according to the obtained load information; and transmitting, by the base station, an energy saving activation instruction to the energy-saving cell to instruct the energy-saving cell to activate the energy-saving state so that the energy-saving cell managed by the base station switches the users to the new cell and activates the energy-saving state when receiving the energy saving activation instruction.
