The terminal can report the QoS measurement result to network side through end message response (UE Information Response) message.

Specify in the face of the present invention down:

The network side layoutprocedure is following:

Network side is that UE issues the QoS measurement configuration information through dedicated signaling, comprising:

Timestamp (optional), measuring object: QCI tabulation (list), measuring amount (optional), Log time span (T-duration; Only effective at connected state), Log cycle (T), smoothingtime window length (Ta, optional), Trace reference (optional), Trace Recording Session (optional), Log zone (optional).

Measuring amount comprises: the DL throughput; The UL throughput; The DL packet loss; The UL packet loss; The UL time delay.

Wherein, timestamp is a network side when issuing this measurement configuration, the absolute time information of network side; Measuring object is the QCI tabulation that certain UE of network side appointment need measure, and this tabulation can be the index of network side according to the QCI distribution, also can be the actual value of QCI, and UE is responsible for accomplishing the mapping of this QCI and DRB, and carries out L2 to corresponding D RB and measure.Measuring amount is the corresponding statistic of each QCI (totally 5, alternative disposes, or uses as default, and does not dispose separately); The Log time span is the total time length of this configuration take-effective, and UE need carry out the log operation always in T-duration; The Log cycle is the time interval between per twice log of UE; Smoothingtime window length is meant the corresponding timing statistics section of the each log of UE, and this is an option, if do not occur, the length that then is equivalent to smoothing windows equals the log cycle T, and both each overtime UE of T can carry out log, carries out the assessment of next cycle simultaneously.

It is following that the UE side is carried out the log process:

UE is after connected state is received above-mentioned QoS confirmatory measurement configuration information; Open QoS confirmatory measurement process immediately; Open T-duration timer and log cycle timer (T) simultaneously, and if this UE supports to locate and positioning function is not opened, need open positioning function immediately so.In time period, UE adds up 5 corresponding measuring amount of each QCI among the QCI list at ensuing Ta, and corresponding measurement result is provided by L2, and the computational methods of each statistic are referring to TS 36.314.After statistics finished, UE preserved statistics corresponding in this Ta, added up with log after wait log cycle timer T is overtime next time and operated.

Log reports process following:

T-duration is overtime, if UE still is in connected state (and Serving cell does not change), then triggers UE side log and reports process.The content that reports comprises:

Positional information, QCI list, sub-district ID, timestamp (optional), RSRP/RSRQ (optional), Trace reference (optional), Trace Recording Session (optional).

Comprise the statistics of the corresponding measuring amount of each QCI among the QCI list, comprising: the DL throughput; UL throughput per-QCI; DL packet loss per-QCI; UL packet loss per-QCI; UL time delay per-QCI.

After reporting completion, UE deletes all QoS measurement configuration information and log.

Below several situation of providing special care to handle:

The first, before T-duration is overtime, if UE has got back to idle attitude (former because network discharges) from connected state, several processing modes below network side can adopt so:

Mode 1: before discharging UE, obtain still uncompleted measurement statistics: network side uses UEInformation Request message informing UE to report QoS to measure log; UE receives that the back measurement result that has obtained (above-mentioned log reports content) is included in feeds back to network (multiplexing existing idle MDT log reports mode) among the UE Information Response; Delete all measurement configuration (UE also can not delete measurement configuration, when get into connected state next time, continues still uncompleted QoS measuring process) simultaneously here.

Mode 2: network side does not obtain measurement result; (this moment, T-duration was in suspended state to preserve log and measurement of correlation configuration after the UE entering idle attitude; Do not carry out timing), wait when getting into connected state once more (still to belong to the log zone), proceed the measurement of QoS and report process.

Mode 3:UE preserves QoS relevant log and measurement configuration in the idle attitude and needs time restriction, if surpass this time restriction, then should delete all measurement configuration information and log.

The second, before T-duration is overtime,, two kinds of solutions also there is this moment if UE has got back to idle attitude (abnormal cause, as Radio Link Failure (RLF) etc.) from connected state:

Relevant log and the measurement configuration of all QoS of method 1:UE deletion;

Method 2:UE preserves log and measurement of correlation configuration (this moment, T-duration was in suspended state, did not carry out timing), waits when getting into connected state once more (still to belong to the log zone), proceeds the measurement of uncompleted QoS and reports process.

The 3rd, before T-duration was overtime, if switching (intra-PLMN switching) has taken place UE, UE still measured the QoS of survice of new sub-district according to original configuration.In UE reporting measurement result's the process, measurement result comprises the QoS measurement result of a plurality of sub-districts after measuring completion.

Need to prove; If UE has received second QoS measurement configuration message again in the process of not accomplishing certain QoS measurement as yet; Then second covers article one, and promptly article one QoS measurement configuration information and log will be deleted, and UE side synchronization can only keep a cover QoS measurement configuration information.

Need to prove; What UE can show in process from RRC connection foundation a to sub-district that initiate (for example can use: the RRC connection setup complete message; The RRC connection reconstruction is accomplished message; Rrc connects reprovision and accomplishes message) to the network indication oneself whether comprise uncompleted QoS measure log information (for RRC connection setup complete message and RRC connection reconstruction completion message, can multiplexing existing idle MDT log obtain manner; Connect reprovision for RRC and accomplish message; Both can multiplexing existing ilde MDT log obtain manner; Also can indicate) through the mode of newly-increased indication bit; After network is received this indication; Can select to obtain this log information through UE Information Request/Response process; Or issue UE DRB newly-built in the sub-district of current access and the mapping relations of QCI to this UE, or reconfiguring QoS measures to UE.Network side can be notified the mapping relations of DRB and QCI the AS layer of UE, or the NAS layer of notice UE, by the NAS layer notice AS layer of UE, after UE has obtained the mapping relations of DRB and QCI, can proceed QoS and measure again.

Need to prove that UE can preserve a cover idle MDT log measurement configuration and a cover QoS measurement configuration simultaneously in the idle attitude, is independent of each other.
