One, QoE measurement

QoE measurement refers to measuring the user experience of using the service, which is a comprehensive subjective experience of the user on the quality and performance (including effectiveness and availability), that is, measuring the user experience of using the service application, so that an operator can comprehensively evaluate the quality and performance of the service according to the QoE measurement result, and thus the operator can know the problem of the service according to the comprehensive evaluation result of the user on the service, and can adaptively adjust the communication network according to the problem of the service.

It should be noted that the QoE measurement includes: 1.1, signaling-based QoE measurement, and 1.2, management-based QoE measurement. The following are detailed below:

1.1 Signaling-based QoE measurement

The signaling-based QoE measurement refers to QoE measurement performed for a specific terminal device, and may be performed in real time.

As shown in fig. 1, the signaling-based QoE measurement procedure includes the following S101-S108.

S101, an Access (AS) layer of a terminal device sends capability information to a next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) in a 5th generation mobile communication technology (5G) network. Accordingly, the NG-RAN receives the transmission capability information from the AS layer of the terminal device.

The capability information is used for representing the capability of the terminal equipment with QoE measurement.

In a possible implementation manner, the Capability Information may be Capability Information sent by the terminal device to the NG-RAN.

It is to be noted that the configured QoE measurement information may include a configured range of QoE measurement and required QoE measurement configuration parameters.

It should be noted that, if the NG-RAN determines that the terminal device does not have the capability of QoE measurement according to the capability information, the OAM may also send the configured QoE measurement information to the core network device. That is, in case the NG-RAN determines from the capability information that the terminal device does not have the capability of QoE measurement, S102-S103 will continue to execute, but S104-S108 will not continue to execute.

S104, the NG-RAN sends the radio resource control information to the AS layer of the terminal equipment. Accordingly, the AS layer of the terminal device receives radio resource control information from the NG-RAN.

The radio resource control information includes QoE measurement configuration parameters.

It should be noted that the radio resource control information is transmitted from the NG-RAN to the terminal device in the form of radio resource control signaling.

In one possible implementation manner, the radio resource control information may be Radio Resource Control (RRC) information Message sent by the NG-RAN to an access stratum of the terminal device.

S105, the AS layer of the terminal equipment sends a mobile terminal command to an Application (APP) layer of the terminal equipment. Correspondingly, the terminal device APP layer receives the mobile terminal command from the AS layer of the terminal device.

And the mobile terminal command comprises QoE measurement configuration parameters.

And the mobile terminal command is used for indicating the APP layer of the terminal equipment to report the QoE measurement report to the AS layer of the terminal.

In one possible implementation manner, the configured QoE measurement information may be an Access termination command.

It should be noted that, after receiving a mobile terminal command including a QoE measurement configuration parameter sent by an AS layer of a terminal device, an APP layer of the terminal device performs QoE measurement according to the QoE measurement configuration parameter, and generates a QoE measurement report.

S107, the AS layer of the terminal equipment sends the radio resource control information to the NG-RAN. Accordingly, the NG-RAN receives radio resource control information from the AS layer of the terminal device.

The procedure of QoE measurement based on signaling is explained in detail above. Hereinafter, the QoE measurement by management will be described in detail.

1.2 QoE measurement based on management

The management-based QoE measurement refers to QoE measurement performed for all terminal devices connected to a specific NG-RAN, and the management-based QoE measurement is mostly used for a post-processing phase (i.e., a next phase performed after a pre-processing phase is completed).

As shown in fig. 2, the QoE measurement flow based on management includes the following S201-S207.

S201, the AS layer of the terminal device sends the capability information to the NG-RAN. Accordingly, the NG-RAN receives the transmission capability information from the AS layer of the terminal device.

It should be noted that S201 is similar to S101 described above, and can be understood with reference to S101 described above, and is not described here again.

And activating the QoE measurement information to carry QoE measurement configuration parameters.

In a possible implementation manner, the QoE Measurement activation information may be QoE Measurement activation QoE Measurement information sent by the OAM to the NG-RAN.

S202 differs from S102 in that: s202 may send the active QoE measurement information directly to the NG-RAN by OAM; in S102, OAM needs to send configured QoE measurement information to the core network device, and then the core network device generates activated QoE measurement information according to the configured QoE measurement information, and sends the activated QoE measurement information to the NG-RAN. Since the QoE measurement based on management does not require the core network device to relay information, the active QoE measurement information can be directly sent to the NG-RAN by OAM.

As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a communication system 40 according to an embodiment of the present application. The communication system 40 may include: OAM equipment 401, access network equipment 402, and terminal equipment 403. The OAM equipment 401 is wirelessly connected to the access network equipment 402. The access network device 402 may be connected to the terminal device 403 in a wired manner, and may also be connected to the terminal device 403 in a wireless manner.

Illustratively, the end device 403 may be in wired communication with the access network device 402 via an optical cable. The terminal device 403 may also communicate wirelessly with the access network device 402 over a radio bearer.

It should be noted that fig. 4 is only an exemplary framework diagram, the number of nodes included in fig. 4 is not limited, and other nodes may be included besides the functional nodes shown in fig. 4, such as: core network devices, gateway devices, application servers, etc., without limitation.

The OAM device 401 is configured to send active QoE measurement information to the access network device 402. And activating the QoE measurement information to carry QoE measurement configuration parameters.

In this embodiment of the present application, the apparatus for implementing the function of multiple terminal devices may be multiple terminal devices, or may be an apparatus capable of supporting multiple terminal devices to implement the function, for example, a chip system.

In addition, the communication system described in the embodiment of the present application is for more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, and it is known by a person of ordinary skill in the art that the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to similar technical problems with the evolution of network architecture and the appearance of new communication systems.

The access network device receives a quality of experience (QoE) measurement message. And subsequently, the access network equipment generates a QoE measurement configuration message based on the QoE measurement message, and sends the QoE measurement configuration message to the terminal equipment in the coverage of the access network equipment. Correspondingly, the terminal device responds to the QoE measurement configuration message sent by the access network device to perform QoE measurement on the service in the measurement area.

Currently, a terminal device can receive a broadcast service in both an idle state and an inactive state. The access network device needs to know the QoE of the terminal device in the idle state and the inactive state for the broadcast service. However, in the prior art, the access network device sends the QoE measurement configuration message to the terminal device through RRC information. In this way, the terminal device can perform QoE measurement on the broadcast service in the measurement area only in the connected state. Therefore, the terminal device in the idle state or the inactive state cannot acquire the QoE measurement configuration message, and further the terminal device in the idle state or the inactive state cannot perform QoE measurement on the broadcast service. Therefore, how to measure the QoE of the broadcast service in the idle state or the inactive state of the terminal device is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present.

In order to solve the problems in the prior art, an embodiment of the present application provides a measurement method. As shown in fig. 5, the method includes: S501-S504.

S501, the operation maintenance management OAM equipment sends a QoE measurement message to the access network equipment. Correspondingly, the access network equipment receives the QoE measurement message sent by the OAM equipment.

Wherein the QoE measurement message comprises a broadcast service type identifier.

As a possible implementation manner, the OAM device sends the active QoE measurement information to the access network device. The QoE measurement message is carried in the active QoE measurement information.

In some embodiments, the QoE measurement message generated by the OAM device includes configuration parameters for QoE measurement and traffic type identification for QoE measurement.

Exemplarily, the OAM equipment determines to acquire the network rate, the average delay and the call drop rate of the broadcast service including the terminal equipment in the inactive state and in the idle state in the preset area. The QoE measurement message generated by the OAM equipment at least includes the following measurement parameters: broadcast service type identification, network rate, average delay and dropped call rate.

In other embodiments, the QoE measurement message generated by the OAM device includes a configuration parameter of the QoE measurement, a traffic type identifier of the QoE measurement, and a slice message of the QoE measurement.

As another possible implementation manner, the OAM device sends the QoE measurement message to the access network device through the core network.

It should be noted that, the two manners of sending the QoE measurement message, the first manner corresponds to a QoE measurement procedure based on management, and the second manner corresponds to a QoE measurement procedure based on signaling. The difference is that under the QoE measurement process based on the signaling, the terminal equipment to be measured is the terminal equipment specified in the QoE measurement configuration information; and under the QoE measurement process based on management, the terminal equipment to be measured is any terminal equipment under the coverage of the access network equipment specified in the QoE measurement configuration information.

If the OAM equipment sends the QoE measurement message through the managed QoE measurement process, it can enable all the terminal devices with QoE measurement capability in the preset area to receive the configuration parameters of QoE measurement through only one piece of activated QoE measurement information.

The preset area is an area preset in the OAM equipment by an operation and maintenance worker, and may also be generated in advance by the OAM equipment. The terminal devices in the preset area may be in the same group (or multicast and broadcast group), wherein the terminal devices in one group may receive the same type of multicast and broadcast services, and the terminal devices in different groups may receive different types of multicast and broadcast services.

S502, the access network device generates a QoE measurement configuration message based on the QoE measurement information.

The QoE measurement configuration message comprises a broadcast service type identifier, and is used for indicating the terminal equipment to perform QoE measurement on the broadcast service.

As a possible implementation manner, after receiving the QoE measurement information, the access network device parses the QoE measurement information to obtain a preset area and measurement parameters. Further, the access network device determines whether the access network device is located in a preset area based on its own location, and generates a QoE measurement configuration message based on the measurement parameters of the QoE measurement information when the access network device is located in the preset area.

Illustratively, the measurement parameters include broadcast service type identification, network rate, average delay and dropped call rate. And under the condition that the access network equipment determines that the access network equipment is positioned in the preset area, generating a QoE measurement configuration message comprising a broadcast service type identifier, a network rate, an average time delay and a call drop rate based on the measurement parameters of the QoE measurement information.

S503, the access network device sends a QoE measurement configuration message to the terminal device through a broadcast channel. Correspondingly, the terminal device receives a QoE measurement configuration message sent by the access network device through a broadcast channel.

As a possible implementation manner, after determining that the terminal device is located within the QoE measurement range, the access network device sends a QoE measurement configuration message to the terminal device through a broadcast channel.

In some embodiments, the access network device covers one cell. And the access network equipment judges whether the cell is positioned in the QoE measurement range, and further judges whether the terminal equipment positioned in the cell is positioned in a preset area. And under the condition that the terminal equipment is judged to be positioned in the preset area, the access network equipment sends a QoE measurement configuration message to the terminal equipment through a broadcast channel.

In other embodiments, the access network equipment covers multiple cells. The access network equipment judges whether each cell is located in a preset area one by one, and further judges whether the terminal equipment corresponding to each cell is located in the preset area. And under the condition that the terminal equipment is judged to be positioned in the preset area, the access network equipment sends a QoE measurement configuration message to the terminal equipment through a broadcast channel.

Specifically, when the terminal device is determined to be located in the preset area, the access network device carries the QoE measurement configuration message in a system broadcast message SIBx, and sends the system broadcast message SIBx to the terminal device through a broadcast channel.

Illustratively, SIBx may be SIB13, SIB15, or SIB 20.

As can be appreciated, the access network device broadcasts the QoE measurement configuration message through a broadcast channel in the case that it is determined that the QoE measurement configuration message includes the broadcast service type identifier. In this way, the terminal device in the inactive state and the idle state can also receive the QoE measurement configuration message, so that the terminal device in the inactive state and the idle state can obtain the QoE measurement configuration parameters.

And S504, the terminal equipment responds to the QoE measurement configuration message to carry out QoE measurement on the broadcasting service.

As a possible implementation manner, after receiving the QoE measurement configuration message through the broadcast channel, the terminal device parses the QoE measurement configuration message to determine whether the QoE measurement configuration message includes a broadcast service type identifier. And under the condition that the configuration message is determined to comprise the broadcast service type identifier, the terminal equipment determines to carry out QoE measurement on the broadcast service. And subsequently, the terminal equipment performs QoE measurement on the broadcast service under the condition of receiving the broadcast service.

According to the measurement method provided by the application, the terminal equipment receives the QoE measurement configuration message sent by the access network equipment through the broadcast channel. In this way, no matter the terminal device is in the connected state, the idle state or the inactive state, the broadcast message can be received, and the terminal device in the idle state and the inactive state can receive the QoE measurement configuration message broadcasted by the access network device through the broadcast channel. And the terminal equipment responds to the broadcast service type identification in the QoE measurement configuration message, and carries out QoE measurement on the broadcast service under the condition of receiving the broadcast service. Therefore, the terminal equipment in the idle state and the inactive state can measure the QoE of the broadcast service based on the QoE measurement configuration message under the condition of receiving the broadcast service.

In the QoE measurement related art, QoE measurement for only a certain traffic type (e.g., a video traffic type, a voice traffic type, and a broadcast traffic type) is supported. And for the broadcast service, the network side equipment allocates resources according to different broadcast services (such as broadcast service 1 and broadcast service 2 … …). This results in a failure to measure QoE for a particular broadcast service (e.g., broadcast service 1).

Among them, the CHOICE Area Scope of QMC includes the QoE measurement range.

In practical applications, the signaling-based QoE measurement information further includes an identifier of the specified terminal device. The management-based QoE measurement information also includes an identification of the access network device. In addition, the QoE measurement information also comprises a target IP address of the TCE/MCE, so that the measurement result is sent to the TCE/MCE according to the target IP address after the QoE measurement is completed by the terminal equipment to be measured. The TCE/MCE can be preset by operation and maintenance personnel and is used for receiving measurement results of the terminal equipment to be measured under different access network equipment.

Illustratively, the type identifier of the broadcast service is MBS, the identifier of the broadcast service is 10, and the target broadcast service corresponding to the identifier of the broadcast service 10 is broadcast service 1. And the terminal equipment analyzes the QoE measurement configuration message to MBS and 10, and searches the target broadcast service corresponding to 10 as the broadcast service 1 according to 10.
