Abstract

This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and discloses a backup power supply control method, to obtain target power supplying duration of a battery, and determine average power consumption of a communication station ( 101 ) within a time period corresponding to the target power supplying duration. Further, a state of charge of the battery is obtained, and actual power supplying duration for the battery to supply power to the communication station ( 101 ) is determined based on the state of charge of the battery and the average power consumption. Therefore, an operation mode of a communication device in the communication station ( 101 ) may be adjusted, to reduce the average power consumption of the communication station ( 101 ) within the time period corresponding to the target power supplying duration.
