Detailed Description

The existing QoE feedback mechanism is triggered by a network management, a base station sends measurement configuration of QoE to a terminal according to the configuration of the network management, and the terminal carries a QoE measurement report in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message according to the measurement configuration. And the base station sends the corresponding measurement report to the network manager after receiving the measurement report, and the network manager monitors the QoE. The current solution faces some problems:

(1) the terminal cannot actively report the QoE report to the base station when the QoE degradation occurs. As can be seen from the QoE process in fig. 1, the existing QoE mechanism is triggered and reported by the network side, and the terminal reports the QoE according to the configuration of the network. The network can obtain the terminal QoE information, but when the terminal QoE perception is poor, if the base station does not configure corresponding QoE reporting configuration, the terminal cannot actively report the QoE, and the perception of the user is directly influenced.

(2) The guarantee of QoE in a network requires comprehensive cooperation of base stations, such as modification of a mapping scheme from Quality of Service (QoS) flow (flow) to Data Radio Bearer (DRB), scheduling, and resource allocation to guarantee QoS. In the existing scheme, the QoE guarantee through the network management can face the problems of long whole adjustment time, adjustment lag and incapability of quickly sensing and adjusting the QoE in real time.

(3) Current QoE only supports Virtual Reality (VR), streaming, and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) based Multimedia Telephony Services over IMS (MTSI) Services. In the future, more new services, new scenes and new user requirements will appear, the network needs to further improve the perception capability, and the best service quality and experience guarantee are provided for the user according to the user requirements. Therefore, the network side needs to have a corresponding mechanism to obtain the QoE information, and the network side, especially the RAN, may use the feedback information of the QoE to make reference for scheduling and resource allocation of the access network.

Referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present application provides a QoE feedback method, which includes the specific steps of: step 301, step 302 and step 303.

step 302: the terminal determines a QoE quantitative value according to the QoE information;

step 303: and the terminal sends the QoE quantized value to a network side.
