Description

Measurement method, measurement device and related equipment

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a measurement method, apparatus, and related devices.

Background

To improve the user experience of streaming services (e.g., streaming services), etc.) or voice services, the network may make quality of experience (quality of experience, qoE) measurements and optimize the network based on the QoE measurements. For QoE measurement in a mobile scenario, the currently adopted QoE measurement scheme is to limit the range of QoE measurement by cell type. However, when the range of QoE measurement is limited by the cell type, both the low-speed mobile terminal and the high-speed mobile terminal may camp on/connect to the same cell type, and then the access network device may select the low-speed mobile terminal to perform application layer measurement, which results in the obtained QoE measurement result including both the measurement result of the low-speed mobile terminal and the measurement result of the high-speed mobile terminal, which is disadvantageous for analysis only for the measurement result of the high-speed mobile terminal or the measurement result of the low-speed mobile terminal.

Disclosure of Invention

The method can acquire a complete QoE measurement result, so that the relation between the QoE measurement result and the mobile speed information of the terminal equipment is conveniently analyzed, the network configuration is optimized, and the user experience is improved.

In a first aspect, the present application provides a first measurement method, where the method may be performed by an access network device, may be performed by a component of the access network device (e.g. a processor, a chip, or a system-on-chip, etc.), or may be implemented by a logic module or software that is capable of implementing all or part of the functions of the access network device. The access network device receives QoE measurement configuration information from the first device, determines mobile speed information of the terminal device according to the QoE measurement configuration information, and then sends the mobile speed information of the terminal device to the second device. The QoE measurement configuration information includes first indication information, where the first indication information is used to indicate reporting mobile speed information of the terminal device. The first device is a core network device or a management device, and is used for generating configuration information (such as QoE measurement configuration information and the like); the second device is a measurement collection entity and/or a trace collection entity for collecting measurements (e.g. QoE measurements, etc.).

In the method, under the condition that the triggering condition of the application layer measurement is not increased, a complete application layer measurement result can be obtained, and the second equipment is beneficial to analyzing the relation between the application layer measurement result and the moving speed information of the terminal equipment.

In a possible implementation manner, the QoE measurement configuration information further includes first configuration information, where the first configuration information is used by the terminal device to determine the mobile speed information of the terminal device. Wherein the first configuration information includes one or more of the following: measuring period, first cell reselection times, second cell reselection times and reporting conditions of moving speed information.

In a possible implementation manner, in the measurement period, when the number of times that the terminal device performs cell reselection is greater than the first number of times that the terminal device performs cell reselection, the movement speed information of the terminal device is that the terminal device is in a first movement speed state; or,

Meanwhile, the first configuration information can be different from the measurement period, the first cell reselection times and the second cell reselection times of the mobile rate information of the judgment terminal equipment configured in the cell reselection, so that the cell reselection is not influenced.

In a possible implementation manner, an access network device sends first indication information and first configuration information to a terminal device, and receives a QoE measurement result and corresponding movement speed information from the terminal device; and then the QoE measurement result of the terminal equipment and the corresponding moving speed information are sent to the second equipment.

Among other things, qoE measurements may also be referred to as application layer measurements.

Among them, qoE measurement can be classified into signaling-based QoE measurement and management-based QoE measurement. The signaling-based QoE measurement means that the QoE measurement is a QoE measurement for a specified terminal device, for example, the core network device sends configuration information of the signaling-based QoE measurement to the access network device through UE-level signaling. The management-based QoE measurement means that the QoE measurement is not a QoE measurement for a specific terminal device, for example, the management device or OAM sends configuration information of the management-based QoE measurement to the access network device, and the access network device selects a part of UEs to perform QoE measurement according to information such as the capability of the UE currently accessing the access network device.

For example, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of QoE measurement. The QoE measurement flow comprises the following steps:

step 1: the access network device receives QoE measurement configuration information.

The access network device receives the QoE measurement configuration information, which is divided into the following two cases:

case one: for signaling-based QoE measurements, the access network device receives QoE measurement configuration information from the core network device.

For example, the access network device receives QoE measurement configuration information from the core network device, and the access network device may receive an interface message for a UE between the access network device and the core network device, where the interface message includes the QoE measurement configuration information.

The QoE measurement configuration information may include, but is not limited to, information such as an application layer measurement configuration (application layer measurement configuration), a QoE Reference (QoE Reference), a measurement collection entity IP address (measurement collection entity Internet protocol address, MCEIP address), a service type (service type), a slice list supported by QoE measurement collection (slice support list for QMC), and the like.

The application layer measurement configuration is used for indicating the terminal equipment to measure the application layer index. The application layer metrics may include, but are not limited to: average throughput (indicating the total number of bits received by the application layer of the UE during a measurement interval), initial play-out delay (e.g., from the time when the first segment of streaming media is acquired to the time when streaming media is extracted from the client buffer), buffer level (indicating the duration that media data may still be played out from the current play-out time), play-out delay (indicating the play-out delay for streaming media start, e.g., defined as the delay from the receipt of a play-out/rollback/start trigger to media play-out by the dynamic adaptive streaming media (dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP, DASH) player transmitted by the hypertext transfer protocol), continuous packet loss number (indicating the number of continuously lost real-time transport protocol messages), etc. Optionally, the application layer measurement configuration further includes a reporting period, configured to instruct the UE to report the application layer measurement result at a specified time. The application layer measurement configuration may be sent to the access network device in the form of an application layer measurement configuration container (container for application layer measurement configuration), where the application layer measurement configuration container may be regarded as an integral container, and the access network device may not need to learn specific information in the container. The access network device may be unaware of the information in the container, without parsing, or may not be able to parse or perceive. Alternatively, the application layer measurement configuration may be sent to the access network device not in the form of a con-tainer, but in a form perceivable by the access network device (which may also be referred to as a non-con-tainer form). The access network device can sense that the access network device can read the received information, and sense that the access network device can be visible, known, detected and the like, which is not limited in this application.

Where QoE reference is a QoE measurement used to identify network requests (or used to identify QoE measurements in access network devices and measurement collection entities), qoE reference may also be referred to as QoE measurement identification. QoE reference is a globally unique identity. For example, the QoE reference is constituted by a public land mobile network (public land mobile network, PLMN, which is constituted by a mobile country code (mobile country code, MCC) and a mobile network code (mobile network code, MNC)) and a QoE measurement collection identity, which is allocated by OAM or CN. The IP address of the MCE is used to indicate the designated MCE, for example, after receiving the QoE measurement result reported by the terminal device, the access network device may send the corresponding measurement result to the designated MCE according to the IP address of the MCE.

Optionally, the QoE measurement configuration information may further include related information (e.g., an identification of the MDT, etc.) of the MDT to be associated, for indicating that the QoE measurement needs to be associated with the MDT measurement. For example, the measurement collection entity may correlate the QoE measurement results with the MDT measurement results so that it may be known whether the degradation of the QoE measurement results is due to a reduced signal quality on the wireless side. For a description of MDT measurements, see section 2 below.

And a second case: for management-based QoE measurements, the access network device receives QoE measurement configuration information from the management device (e.g., OAM), the QoE measurement configuration information comprising an application layer measurement configuration. The difference from case one is that the management device sends QoE measurement configuration information not for a particular UE. Optionally, if the UE needs to perform application layer measurement for some sliced traffic, a corresponding slice range is configured in an application layer measurement configuration container (e.g., if the UE performs application layer measurement for only some sliced traffic, the application layer measurement configuration container carries the slice identifier).

For management-based QoE measurement, the QoE measurement configuration information is similar to that in case one, and will not be described here.

Step 2: the access network device sends QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal device.

For signaling-based QoE measurements, the access network device may send an application layer measurement configuration (e.g., an application layer measurement configuration container) to the corresponding terminal device (e.g., to an access layer of the terminal device). Optionally, the access network device may also determine whether to configure QoE measurement for the terminal device according to whether the terminal device supports QoE measurement.

For QoE measurement based on management, the access network device selects a proper terminal device to perform QoE measurement according to QoE measurement configuration information from the management device, whether the terminal device supports corresponding QoE measurement and other parameters. The access network device sends the application layer measurement configuration to the selected terminal device.

For example, the access network device sends a radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) message to the terminal device, where the RRC message carries an application layer measurement configuration and also carries a service type corresponding to the application layer measurement configuration. In step 2, the application layer measurement configuration may be sent to the terminal device in a format of a container, or may be sent to the terminal device in a format of a non-container, and specific reference may be made to the corresponding description above, which is not repeated here.

Optionally, the access network device may trigger itself to configure the application layer measurement configuration for the terminal device. In this case, the method is not limited to the method that needs to receive the command in step 1 and trigger to send QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal device, that is, the access network device may send the application layer measurement configuration generated by itself to the terminal device directly through an RRC message, where the RRC message also carries the service type corresponding to the application layer measurement configuration.

Optionally, the access network device may also send an application layer measurement identifier to the terminal device. The application layer measurement identifier is generated by the access network device for the terminal device, and one application layer measurement identifier corresponds to one application layer measurement configuration configured by one access network device for the terminal device. For example, the application layer measurement identifier may correspond to a QoE reference, and the access network device maintains a correspondence between the application layer measurement identifier and the QoE reference. Alternatively, the application layer measurement identity may be part of the QoE measurement configuration information in step 2.

The QoE measurement configuration information in step 1 and step 2 may be regarded as different information, the QoE measurement configuration information in step 1 is information sent by the core network device or the management device to the access network device, the QoE measurement configuration information in step 2 is information sent by the access network device to the terminal device, the cell names of the two may be different, and the included information content may also be different. For example, the QoE measurement configuration information in step 1 includes one or more containers, where each container includes an application layer measurement configuration; the QoE measurement configuration information in step 1 further includes other relevant information (e.g., qoE Reference, measurement collection entity IP address, service type, etc.); the QoE measurement configuration information in step 2 includes at least one of the one or more containers, and the QoE measurement configuration information in step 2 includes a traffic type and does not include a measurement collection entity IP address. The QoE measurement configuration information in step 1 and step 2 are therefore not identical.

Step 3: and the access layer of the terminal equipment sends QoE measurement configuration information to an upper layer of the access layer.

The upper layer of the terminal device may be an application layer (for example, referred to as UE application, abbreviated as UE APP), or may be a layer capable of performing QoE measurement. The terminal device access layer (e.g., referred to AS the AS layer) sends the application layer measurement configuration and the traffic type to an upper layer of the access layer (e.g., referred to AS an upper layer of the AS). In step 3, the application layer measurement configuration may be sent to the terminal device in a container form, and the AS layer may send configuration information of other related application layer indexes to an upper layer of the AS in addition to the application layer measurement configuration to the upper layer of the AS.

Optionally, the AS layer may also send an application layer measurement identifier corresponding to each application layer measurement configuration to an upper layer of the AS. For example, the AS layer may send information such AS an application layer measurement configuration to an upper layer of the AS by means of a password command (AT command), which is also referred to AS AT command+ CAPPLEVMC (command application level measurement configuration).

The QoE measurement configuration information in step 2 and step 3 generally contain the same content, but may have different transmission formats. Optionally, the QoE measurement configuration information in step 2 and step 3 may include different contents, for example, the QoE measurement configuration information in step 3 includes only part of the QoE measurement configuration information in step 2.

Step 4: and the upper layer of the access layer of the terminal equipment performs QoE measurement according to the QoE measurement configuration information.

For example, an upper layer of an access layer of the terminal device performs measurement according to the measurement configuration of the application layer, and an application layer measurement result is obtained.

Step 5: and the upper layer of the access layer of the terminal equipment sends QoE measurement results to the access layer of the terminal equipment.

The QoE measurement result in the present application includes an application layer measurement result of the terminal device. For example, the upper layer of the AS reports QoE measurements (e.g., including application layer measurements) according to certain rules (e.g., the rules are contained in the application layer measurement configuration). For example, the upper layer of the AS may report the application layer measurement results periodically, or the upper layer of the AS may report the application layer measurement results after the session ends. The application layer measurement result in step 5 may be reported in the form of a container.

Optionally, if the application layer measurement configuration sets that the terminal device may perform application layer measurement for some services of slices (slices), the terminal device may carry, in an application layer measurement result reported in a format of a container, a measurement result obtained by performing application layer measurement for a specified slice, where, for example, the current application layer measurement result carries an identifier of the slice in the application layer measurement result reported in the format of the container. In addition, the upper layer of the AS may report, in addition to the application layer measurement result, an application layer measurement identifier corresponding to the application layer measurement result (i.e., the application layer measurement identifier is an application layer measurement identifier corresponding to an application layer measurement configuration corresponding to the application layer measurement result).

Optionally, when the application layer measurement is started, the upper layer of the AS may send start indication information to the access layer of the terminal device, where the start indication information is used to indicate that the application layer measurement has been started. Similarly, when the application layer measurement ends, the upper layer of the AS may send end indication information to the access layer of the terminal device, where the end indication information is used to indicate that the application layer measurement has ended.

Step 6: the terminal equipment access layer sends QoE measurement results to the access network equipment.

For example, the terminal device access layer sends an uplink RRC message to the access network device, where the uplink RRC message carries the application layer measurement result. In step 6, the measurement result of the application layer may be sent to the access network device in a format of a container, or may be sent to the access network device in a format of a non-container. Optionally, the terminal device access layer may also send an application layer measurement identifier corresponding to the application layer measurement result to the access network device.

Alternatively, since the terminal device is in a mobile state, the access network device that sends QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal device may or may not be the same access network device as the access network device that receives the QoE measurement result. For example, when an access network device (for example, referred to as a source base station) that transmits QoE measurement configuration information to a terminal device and an access network device (for example, referred to as a target base station) that receives QoE measurement results are not the same access network device, it means that the terminal device is handed over from the source base station to the target base station, in which case the source base station may transmit the following information to the target base station: start indication information (for indicating whether application layer measurements have been started), qoE measurement configuration information (e.g. signaling-based QoE measurement configuration information, i.e. QoE measurement configuration information received by the source base station from the core network device), etc.

Step 7: the access network device sends the QoE measurement results to the measurement collection entity.

For example, the access network device reports the application layer measurement identifier according to the corresponding relation between the pre-stored application layer measurement identifier and the QoE reference, and the terminal device obtains the QoE reference corresponding to the application layer measurement result; and then searching the address of the corresponding MCE according to the QoE reference, and sending the measurement result of the application layer to the corresponding MCE. For another example, the access network device obtains a corresponding application layer measurement configuration according to the application layer measurement identifier reported by the terminal device, obtains an address of the MCE corresponding to the application layer measurement result according to QoE measurement configuration information issued by the core network device or the OAM, and sends the application layer measurement result to the corresponding MCE.

Alternatively, for QoE analysis purposes, wireless-side related measurements corresponding to the traffic of the QoE measurements may be collected through MDT measurements. For example, a measurement collection entity/trace collection entity (MCE/TCE) may associate application layer measurements and MDT measurements obtained by the same terminal device. In this embodiment, the application layer measurement result and the MDT measurement result are associated (may also be referred to as QoE measurement result and MDT measurement result association), which may specifically be that the measurement collection entity/trace collection entity stores the application layer measurement result and the MDT measurement result correspondingly, that is, the measurement collection entity stores an association relationship between QoE measurement and MDT measurement. For example, the measurement collection entity/trace collection entity correspondingly stores information indicating the application layer measurement result (e.g., qoE reference) and information indicating the MDT measurement (e.g., MDT measurement identity) to establish an association relationship between the application layer measurement result and the MDT measurement result. The association between the application layer measurement result and the MDT measurement result may also be that the measurement collection entity/tracking collection entity obtains the MDT measurement result in the period corresponding to the application layer measurement result. For example, the application layer measurement result carries first time information, and when the first access network device or/and the second access network device send the MDT measurement result to the measurement collection entity/tracking collection entity, second time information is also sent. The measurement collection entity/tracking collection entity can learn that the MDT measurement result is the MDT measurement result in the time period corresponding to the application layer measurement result according to the first time information and the second time information, or learn that the time period corresponding to the MDT measurement result and the time period corresponding to the application layer measurement result overlap. The application layer measurement and MDT measurement association may also be whether the measurement collection entity/trace collection entity analyzes whether the deterioration or degradation of the application layer measurement is due to a deterioration or degradation of the MDT measurement. Optionally, the network device or the terminal device may determine the corresponding MDT measurement result through the association relationship when the application layer measurement result is known.

For example, when the application layer measurement result and the MDT measurement result need to be associated, the access network device further carries a measurement identifier (such as an MDT trace ID) of the MDT and time information in the application layer measurement result sent to the MCE by the access network device. The MCE/TCE (whether the MCE or TCE performs association is not specified in the current protocol) may obtain the MDT measurement result in the period corresponding to the application layer measurement result according to the time information corresponding to the application layer measurement result and the time information corresponding to the MDT measurement result, that is, associate the application layer measurement result with the MDT measurement result.

3. MDT measurement:

the basic idea of MDT measurement is that an operator performs measurement through a commercial terminal of a subscriber and sends a measurement result to replace a traditional drive test work partially, so as to automatically collect terminal measurement data to detect and optimize problems and faults in a wireless network. The measurement types of current MDT measurements may include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Signal level measurement: measuring a signal level of the wireless signal by the terminal and transmitting the measurement result to the base station or the base station controller;

(2) Quality of service (quality of service, qoS) measurement: qoS measurements are typically performed by the base station (e.g., measuring traffic flow, traffic throughput, traffic delay, etc.), qoS measurements may also be performed by the terminal (e.g., measuring uplink processing delay), or may be jointly processed by the base station and the terminal (e.g., measuring air interface delay, which is the time from the packet passing through the service data adaptation protocol (service data adaptation protocol, SDAP)/packet data convergence protocol (packet data convergence protocol, PDCP) layer of the base station to the packet reaching the SDAP/PDCP layer of the terminal).

(3) Accessibility measurement: and recording information of the RRC connection establishment failure by the terminal and sending the information to the base station or the base station controller.

Wherein the MDT measurement includes a logged MDT and an immediate MDT. The immediate MDT measurement is a measurement performed for a terminal in an RRC CONNECTED state (rrc_connected) for measuring a data amount of the UE, an IP throughput rate, a packet transmission delay, a packet loss rate, a processing delay, and the like. The logged MDT measurement is a measurement performed for a terminal in an IDLE state (rrc_idle) or an INACTIVE state (rrc_inactive) for measuring the received signal strength of the terminal. For example, the UE in idle state or inactive state performs the logged MDT measurement on the cell of the frequency point corresponding to the currently camping cell and the neighboring cell of the different frequency/different system corresponding to the cell reselection broadcasted in the currently camping cell.

The MDT measurement may be classified as a signaling-based MDT (signalling based MDT) measurement or a management-based MDT (management based MDT) measurement, among others. Also, either signaling-based MDT measurements or management-based MDT measurements may include logged MDT and immediated MDT.

The signaling-based MDT measurement is an MDT measurement indicating that the designated terminal device is to be used, for example, the access network device receives a message from the core network device for MDT measurement for the designated terminal device. In the MDT measurement based on signaling, the core network device can initiate the MDT measurement for the terminal device if the terminal device is allowed to perform the MDT measurement. In signaling-based MDT measurements, the core network device may send the following information to the access network device: MDT configuration information, IP address of trace collection entity (trace collection entity, TCE), etc. The MDT configuration information may include, but is not limited to: the activation type of the MDT (e.g., the activation type of the MDT may include, but is not limited to, immediate MDT only, logged MDT only, immediate MDT and Trace, etc.), the area range of the MDT, the mode of the MDT and configuration parameters of the corresponding mode (e.g., measurement event of the logged MDT, logging interval and duration of the logged MDT, etc.), the PLMN list based on the signaling MDT, etc. Alternatively, the TCE and MCE in the present application may be replaced with each other, which is not limited in the present application.

Based on the managed MDT measurement not being the MDT measurement for the specified terminal device, the access network device receives a message for performing the MDT measurement from the management device (e.g., OAM), and selects a terminal device from the terminal devices under the access network device based on the corresponding policy for performing the MDT measurement. In the management-based MDT measurement, when the access network device selects the terminal device to perform the MDT measurement, it may be determined whether the terminal device is allowed to perform the MDT measurement, and then the terminal device allowed to perform the MDT measurement is selected to perform the MDT measurement. For example, the core network device may send a message to the access network device that includes an allowed identification based on the managed MDT measurements (e.g., the allowed identification indicates that the specified terminal device is allowed to make MDT measurements). Optionally, the message further includes a PLMN list based on managing MDT measurements.

2. The first measurement method provided by the application comprises the following steps:

fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a measurement method provided in the present application. The measurement method is applied to a communication system as shown in fig. 1. For example, the measurement method may be implemented by an interaction between an access network device, a first device, which is a core network device or a management device, and a second device, which includes an MCE and/or a TCE. The method comprises the following steps:

S101, the first device sends QoE measurement configuration information to the access network device, wherein the QoE measurement configuration information comprises first indication information. Correspondingly, the access network device receives QoE measurement configuration information from the first device.

The first indication information is used for indicating and reporting the moving speed information of the terminal equipment. For example, after the access network device receives the first indication information, the mobile speed information of the terminal device may be acquired and reported. The other information in the QoE measurement configuration information may refer to the description of the QoE measurement configuration information in the first section, which is not described herein.

Optionally, the QoE measurement configuration information may further include session identifier (session ID) of the multicast broadcast service (multicast broadcast service, MBS), for indicating that the application layer measurement is performed for the service corresponding to the specified MBS session ID. Optionally, the application layer measurement configuration container carried in the form of a container further includes an MBS session ID. The MBS session ID includes a group identification TMGI for uniquely identifying the MBS service.

Among other things, qoE measurement in the present application may refer to management-based QoE measurement or signaling-based QoE measurement. For example, when the first device is a management device (e.g., OAM, etc.), the QoE measurement refers to a QoE measurement based on management; when the first device is a core network device, the QoE measurement refers to a signaling-based QoE measurement.

S102, the access network equipment determines the moving speed information of the terminal equipment according to the QoE measurement configuration information.

The access network device determines the moving speed information of the terminal device, which may include the following two cases:

case one: when the terminal equipment is in an IDLE state (RRC_IDLE state) or a non-active state (RRC_INACTIVE), the terminal equipment determines self moving speed information according to QoE measurement configuration information and sends the moving speed information of the terminal equipment to the access network equipment.

For example, when the terminal device is in an IDLE state (rrc_idle state) or in an INACTIVE state (rrc_inactive), the terminal device may receive a broadcast message of the access network device (e.g., receive QoE measurement configuration information for a broadcast service) and determine mobility speed information of the terminal device according to the received QoE measurement configuration information. For another example, the terminal device receives QoE measurement configuration information sent by the access network device before entering the rrc_idle/rrc_inactive state, and when the terminal device is in the rrc_idle/rrc_inactive state, the terminal device determines mobile speed information of the terminal device according to the received QoE measurement configuration information.

In the first case, the QoE measurement configuration information further includes first configuration information, where the first configuration information is used for determining the moving speed information of the terminal device by the terminal device. Wherein the first configuration information includes one or more of the following: measuring period, first cell reselection times, second cell reselection times and reporting conditions of moving speed information.

(1) Measurement period: the duration of the evaluation criterion for entering the mobile state is indicated (the duration for evaluating criteria to enter mobility states). That is, it is determined which mobile state the terminal device is in, based on each measurement period. The specific judging conditions comprise the first cell reselection times and the second cell reselection times.

(2) Number of first cell reselections: and in the measurement period, when the number of times of cell reselection performed by the terminal equipment is larger than the first number of times of cell reselection, the terminal equipment is in a first moving speed state. Wherein the first moving speed state is also referred to as a high speed moving state (high mobility state), the first number of cell reselections indicates the number of cell reselections entering the high speed moving state (the number of cell reselections to enter high mobility state).

(3) Number of second cell reselections: and in the measurement period, when the number of times that the terminal equipment performs the cell switching is greater than or equal to the second cell switching number and less than or equal to the first cell switching number, the terminal equipment is in a second moving speed state. The speed corresponding to the second moving speed state is smaller than the speed corresponding to the first moving speed state. The second movement speed state is also referred to as a medium speed movement state (mediummobility state), and the second number of cell reselections indicates the number of cell reselections entering the medium speed movement state (the number of cell reselections to enter medium mobility state).

Optionally, in the measurement period, when the number of times of cell reselection performed by the terminal device is smaller than the number of times of cell reselection performed by the second cell, the terminal device is in a third moving speed state, and a speed corresponding to the third moving speed state is smaller than a speed corresponding to the second moving speed state. The third movement speed state is also referred to as a normal movement state (normal mobility state).

(4) Reporting conditions of the moving speed information: and the terminal equipment is used for indicating that the mobile speed information of the terminal equipment is reported when the terminal equipment is in the state of reporting the mobile speed. The reporting moving speed state comprises one or more of a first moving speed state, a second moving speed state or a third moving speed state. For example, when the reporting condition of the moving speed information indicates that the terminal device is in a high-speed moving state or a medium-speed moving state, the terminal device reports the moving speed information of the terminal device. When the terminal equipment is in a normal moving state, the terminal equipment can not report the moving speed information.

Optionally, the first configuration information may be a rule for judging a high-speed moving state, a medium-speed moving state or a normal moving state in the existing cell reselection. That is, the CN or the OAM does not need to additionally configure a new judgment condition, but judges the moving speed state of the terminal device by using the rule for judging the moving speed of the terminal device in the existing cell reselection. For example, the first configuration information may indicate that the moving speed state is obtained using the moving speed state judgment criterion in cell reselection (i.e., the first configuration information does not include the above measurement period, the first number of cell reselections, the second number of cell reselections).

For example, in case one, S102 may be extended to the following steps, as shown in fig. 4 a:

s102a, the access network equipment sends QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal equipment, wherein the QoE measurement configuration information comprises first indication information and first configuration information.

Alternatively, the QoE measurement configuration information in S102a may be the same as or different from the QoE measurement configuration information in S101. See the differences of QoE measurement configuration information in step 1 and step 2 described in step 2 of fig. 2 above. In the present embodiment, the QoE measurement configuration information in S102a and the QoE measurement configuration information in S101 both include the first indication information and the first configuration information.

S102b, the terminal equipment determines the moving speed information corresponding to the terminal equipment according to the first configuration information.

S102c, the terminal equipment sends QoE measurement results and corresponding moving speed information of the terminal equipment to the access network equipment according to the first indication information.

The first indication information sent by the access network device to the terminal device has the same meaning as the first indication information received by the access network device from the core network device or the management device, and is used for indicating and reporting the moving speed information of the terminal device, but the specific indication modes may not be the same. For example, one or more bits may be used for indication, which is not limiting in this application.

Optionally, when the first configuration information includes a report condition of the moving speed information, and the terminal device confirms that the moving speed information corresponding to the terminal device meets the report condition, the terminal device reports the moving speed information.

For another example, in case one, S102 may be extended to the following steps, as shown in fig. 4 b:

s102-1, the access network equipment sends QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal equipment, wherein the QoE measurement configuration information comprises first indication information.

Alternatively, the QoE measurement configuration information in S102-1 may be the same as or different from the QoE measurement configuration information in S101. See the differences of QoE measurement configuration information in step 1 and step 2 described in step 2 of fig. 2 above. In the present embodiment, both the QoE measurement configuration information in S102-1 and the QoE measurement configuration information in S101 include the first indication information.

Optionally, the QoE measurement configuration information in S102-1 further includes first configuration information, where the first configuration information includes a reporting condition of the mobile speed information.

S102-2, the terminal equipment determines the movement speed information corresponding to the terminal equipment according to the rule of determining the movement speed information of the terminal equipment in cell reselection.

For example, the measurement period, the first cell reselection number and the second cell reselection number required to be used in the mobile speed information corresponding to the terminal equipment in the cell reselection determination are broadcasted in the cell broadcast message.

S102-3, the terminal equipment sends QoE measurement results and corresponding moving speed information of the terminal equipment to the access network equipment according to the first indication information.

Optionally, when the first configuration information includes a reporting condition of the moving speed information, the terminal device reports the moving speed information when the terminal device confirms that the moving speed information corresponding to the terminal device meets the reporting condition.

Alternatively, in these examples, since the terminal device is in a mobile state, the access network device that sends QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal device may or may not be the same access network device as the access network device that receives QoE measurement results.

In the above example, the access network device receives the application layer measurement result and the corresponding movement speed information from the terminal device, that is, the access network device determines the movement speed information of the terminal device. Optionally, before the terminal device enters the rrc_idle state or the rrc_inactive state, the access network device sends QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal device. Alternatively, when the terminal device is in rrc_idle state or rrc_inactive state (for example, for QoE measurement of a broadcast service), the terminal device may obtain an application layer measurement result according to QoE measurement configuration information, determine its own movement speed information, and record the application layer measurement result and the movement speed information of the corresponding terminal device. For example, the terminal device may store a correspondence between the movement speed information of the terminal device and the application layer measurement result (e.g., the movement speed information of the terminal device measured in a specified period corresponds to the application layer measurement result in the period; for example, the terminal device may obtain the movement speed information of the terminal device in the period according to the measurement period corresponding to the application layer measurement result). When the terminal equipment sends an application layer measurement result to the access network equipment, the terminal equipment sends the application layer measurement result and the movement speed information of the terminal equipment corresponding to the application layer measurement result to the access network equipment.

Optionally, before the terminal device sends the application layer measurement result to the access network device, application layer measurement result indication information may be sent to the access network device, where the application layer measurement result indication information is used to indicate that the terminal device has an application layer measurement result. The access network device may configure, according to the application layer measurement result indication information, a signaling radio bearer for transmitting an application layer measurement result to the terminal device.

Optionally, the terminal device may send the application layer measurement result and the corresponding movement speed information of the terminal device to the access network device after entering the rrc_connected state, or may directly send the application layer measurement result and the corresponding movement speed information of the terminal device to the access network device in the rrc_idle/INACTIVE state, which is not limited in this application.

Optionally, for the AS layer and an upper layer of the AS inside the terminal device, the AS layer may send a part of the content in the QoE measurement configuration information to the upper layer of the AS. The first indication information and the first configuration information are information used by the AS layer, and the AS layer does not need to send the first indication information and the first configuration information to an upper layer of the AS.

And a second case: when the terminal equipment is in a connection state (RRC_CONNECTED state), the access network equipment determines the mobile speed information of the terminal equipment according to the QoE measurement configuration information, and the terminal equipment is not required to report the mobile speed information.

For example, when the terminal device is in rrc_connected state, there is a communication connection between the terminal device and the access network device, and the access network device may determine the movement speed information of the terminal device according to the movement state of the terminal device.

In the second case, the QoE measurement configuration information further includes second configuration information, where the second configuration information is used for the access network device to determine the mobile speed information of the terminal device. Wherein the second configuration information includes one or more of the following: measuring period, first cell switching times, second cell switching times and reporting conditions of moving speed information.

(1) Measurement period: the duration of the evaluation criterion for entering the mobile state is indicated (the duration for evaluating criteria to enter mobility states). That is, it is determined which mobile state the terminal device is in, based on each measurement period. The specific judgment conditions comprise the first cell switching times and the second cell switching times.

(2) First number of cell handovers: and in the measurement period, when the number of times of executing cell switching by the terminal equipment is larger than the first cell switching number, the terminal equipment is in a first moving speed state. Wherein the first moving speed state is also referred to as a high speed moving state (high mobility state), the first number of cell handovers indicates the number of cell handovers entering the high speed moving state (the number of cell changes to enter high mobility state).

(3) Second number of cell handovers: and in the measurement period, when the number of times that the terminal equipment performs the cell switching is greater than or equal to the second cell switching number and less than or equal to the first cell switching number, the terminal equipment is in a second moving speed state. The speed corresponding to the second moving speed state is smaller than the speed corresponding to the first moving speed state. The second moving speed state is also referred to as a medium speed moving state (medium mobility state), and the second number of cell handovers indicates the number of cell handovers entering the medium speed moving state (the number of cell changes to enter medium mobility state).

Optionally, in the measurement period, when the number of times of performing cell switching by the terminal device is smaller than the number of times of performing cell switching by the second cell, the terminal device is in a third moving speed state, and a speed corresponding to the third moving speed state is smaller than a speed corresponding to the second moving speed state. The third movement speed state is also referred to as a normal movement state (normal mobility state).

(4) Reporting conditions of the moving speed information: and the terminal equipment is used for indicating that the mobile speed information of the terminal equipment is reported when the terminal equipment is in the state of reporting the mobile speed. The reporting moving speed state comprises one or more of a first moving speed state, a second moving speed state or a third moving speed state. For example, when the reporting condition of the moving speed information indicates that the terminal device is in a high-speed moving state or a medium-speed moving state, the terminal device reports the moving speed information of the terminal device. When the terminal equipment is in a normal moving state, the terminal equipment does not need to report the moving speed information.

For example, in case two, S102 may be extended to the following steps, as shown in fig. 4 c:

S102A, the access network equipment acquires the times of executing cell switching by the terminal equipment according to the second configuration information;

S102B, the access network equipment determines the moving speed information of the terminal equipment according to the times of the cell switching executed by the terminal equipment in the measuring period.

For example, in the measurement period, when the number of times that the terminal device performs cell switching is greater than the first number of times of cell switching, determining that the movement speed information of the terminal device is in a high-speed movement state; or in the measurement period, when the number of times that the terminal equipment performs cell switching is greater than or equal to the second cell switching number and less than or equal to the first cell switching number, determining that the moving speed information of the terminal equipment is in a medium-speed moving state; or in the measurement period, when the number of times that the terminal equipment performs cell switching is smaller than the second cell switching, determining that the moving speed information of the terminal equipment is in a normal moving state.

Optionally, in the second case, the access network device may send QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal device, so that the terminal device obtains an application layer measurement result according to the QoE measurement configuration information. And the terminal equipment performs QoE measurement according to the QoE measurement configuration information to obtain an application layer measurement result, and sends the application layer measurement result to the access network equipment. In a first distinction, the access network device receives the application layer measurement result from the terminal device, and correlates the application layer measurement result of the terminal device with the movement speed information of the terminal device to obtain the application layer measurement result and the movement speed information of the corresponding terminal device.

Optionally, in the second case, when the terminal device is handed over from the first access network device to the second access network device (i.e. in a handover scenario), the second access network device receives QoE measurement configuration information from the first access network device, where the QoE measurement configuration information includes the first indication information and the second configuration information. The second access network device may also determine the movement speed information of the terminal device according to the second configuration information, and the specific embodiment is similar to the steps performed by the access network device described in the second case, which is not described herein.

Optionally, the first device does not need to configure the second configuration information, and the access network device can determine, according to its algorithm, a rule that the terminal device is in a high-speed moving state, a medium-speed moving state or a normal moving state.

Optionally, when the reporting condition of the mobile speed information is met, the access network device sends the mobile speed information of the terminal device to the second device.

S103, the access network equipment sends the moving speed information of the terminal equipment to the second equipment. Correspondingly, the second device receives the moving speed information of the terminal device.

Wherein, in order to facilitate the second device to analyze the relation between the application layer measurement result and the movement speed information of the terminal device, the access network device needs to send the movement speed information of the terminal device to the second device. For example, the access network device sends the movement speed information of the terminal device to the MCE, which may be analyzed by the MCE, or by the TCE, or by the MCE/TCE together analyzing the relation between the application layer measurement result and the movement speed information of the terminal device. The specific transmission mode may include the following two cases:

Case one: the access network device sends the application layer measurement result and the corresponding mobile speed information of the terminal device to the second device.

For example, when the access network device sends the application layer measurement result to the second device, the access network device carries the movement speed information of the terminal device. Correspondingly, the second device receives the application layer measurement result and the corresponding movement speed information of the terminal device, so that the relation between the application layer measurement result and the movement speed information of the UE can be analyzed.

And a second case: the access network device sends an MDT measurement result to the second device, where the MDT measurement result includes movement speed information of the terminal device.

If the access network device carries the movement speed information of the terminal device in the MDT measurement result, before executing S103, the access network device may further execute the following steps:

the access network equipment receives MDT measurement configuration information from the first equipment;

the access network equipment sends the MDT measurement configuration information to the terminal equipment;

the access network device receives an MDT measurement result from the terminal device, the MDT measurement result including movement speed information of the terminal device.

The description of the MDT measurement configuration information may refer to the corresponding description in the third section of the first portion, which is not described herein. Optionally, in the second case, the QoE measurement configuration information sent by the first device to the access network device may include second indication information, where the second indication information is used to indicate that the QoE measurement and the MDT measurement are associated. For example, an identification of the application layer measurement (e.g., qoE reference) is carried in the MDT configuration information, or an identification of the MDT measurement (e.g., MDT trace ID) is carried in the QoE measurement configuration information, to correlate the QoE measurement with the MDT measurement.

In the second case, the terminal device may perform QoE measurement according to the QoE measurement configuration information, and perform MDT measurement according to the MDT configuration information. Optionally, if the terminal device receives the service in the rrc_idle/rrc_inactive state, corresponding application layer measurement is started according to the QoE measurement configuration information. The terminal device records the application layer measurement results in the rrc_idle/rrc_inactive state. The application layer measurement results are stored in the AS layer of the terminal device or an upper layer of the AS layer. The AS layer of the terminal device performs MDT measurement in rrc_idle/rrc_inactive state. And when the terminal equipment records the MDT measurement result, simultaneously recording the current moving speed information of the terminal equipment. That is, the movement speed information of the terminal device is added to the MDT measurement result. Optionally, when the reporting condition of the moving speed information is met, the terminal device increases the moving speed information of the terminal device in the MDT measurement result. Alternatively, after the terminal device enters the rrc_connected state, the application layer measurement result may be sent to the access network device.

Optionally, before the terminal device sends the application layer measurement result to the access network device, the application layer measurement result indication information may be sent to the access network device, and specific implementation may refer to the corresponding description in the foregoing embodiment, which is not repeated herein.

Alternatively, after the terminal device enters the rrc_connected state, the MDT measurement result may be sent to the access network device.

In the second case, optionally, if the terminal device receives the service in the rrc_connected state, corresponding application layer measurement is started according to the QoE measurement configuration information. The terminal device records the application layer measurement result in the RRC_CONNECTED state and sends the application layer measurement result to the access network device. The access network device performs the MDT measurements in accordance with the MDT measurement configuration. The access network device carries the movement speed information of the terminal device determined by the access network device (for example, the movement speed information of the terminal device determined according to the number of times the terminal device performs cell handover in the measurement period) when sending the MDT measurement result to the second device. Optionally, when the reporting condition of the mobile speed information is met, the access network device increases the mobile speed information of the terminal device in the MDT measurement result, so as to send the mobile speed information of the terminal device to the second device.

The MDT measurement in the present application may be a logged MDT or an immediate MDT. For example, when the terminal device is in the rrc_connected state, the MDT measurement for the terminal device is an immediate MDT; when the terminal device is in the RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE state, the MDT measurement for the terminal device is logedMDT.

Alternatively, since the terminal device is in a mobile state, the access network device that sends QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal device may or may not be the same access network device as the access network device that receives the QoE measurement result.

In the second case, after receiving the application layer measurement result and the MDT measurement result, the second device may determine the movement speed information of the terminal device corresponding to each application layer measurement result due to association between the MDT measurement and the QoE measurement. For example, an association between MDT measurements and QoE measurements may be made by measurement time, i.e. MDT measurements and application layer measurements recorded during the same time period may be regarded as associated measurements. The second device receives the MDT measurement result of the designated time period, obtains the movement speed information of the terminal device in the time period, and can correlate the movement speed information of the terminal device in the time period with the application layer measurement result in the time period, so that the second device can analyze the relationship between the application layer measurement result and the movement speed information of the terminal device.

3. The second measurement method provided by the application comprises the following steps:

Fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of another measurement method provided in the present application. The measurement method is applied to a communication system as shown in fig. 1. For example, the measurement method may be implemented by an interaction between an access network device, a first device, which is a core network device or a management device, and a second device, which includes an MCE and/or a TCE. The method comprises the following steps:

s201, the first device sends QoE measurement configuration information to the access network device, where the QoE measurement configuration information includes an identifier of the QoE measurement and second indication information. Correspondingly, the access network device receives QoE measurement configuration information from the first device.

Wherein the identification of the QoE measurement is used to identify the QoE measurement requested by the network (or to identify the QoE measurement in the access network device and the measurement collection entity), e.g. QoE reference. The description of QoE reference refers to the corresponding description in the second section of the first section, and will not be repeated here.

The second indication information is used for indicating the QoE measurement and the MDT measurement to be associated. For example, an association between MDT measurements and QoE measurements may be made by measurement time, i.e. MDT measurements and application layer measurements recorded during the same time period may be regarded as associated measurements.

Optionally, the QoE measurement configuration information further includes an identification of the MDT measurement (e.g., MDT trace ID) to associate the QoE measurement with the MDT measurement. Alternatively, the QoE measurement configuration information may not include an identifier of the MDT measurement, and the second indication information indicates that the QoE measurement may be associated with any MDT measurement configured by the access network device to the terminal device.

S202, the access network equipment configures MDT measurement.

Wherein the MDT measurement corresponds to an identification of the MDT measurement.

Wherein, since QoE measurement needs to be associated with MDT measurement, the access network device needs to configure MDT measurement. For example, the access network device receives MDT measurement configuration information from the first device, the MDT measurement configuration information including an identification of the MDT measurement. The access network device configures the MDT measurement for the terminal device. Optionally, if the QoE measurement configuration information includes an MDT measurement identifier associated with the QoE measurement, the access network device determines, according to the MDT measurement identifier carried in the QoE measurement configuration information, which MDT measurement is configured for the terminal device. Optionally, if the QoE measurement configuration information does not include the identifier of the MDT measurement associated with the QoE measurement, the access network device selects one MDT measurement configuration from the MDT measurement configurations received from the first device, and configures the MDT measurement for the terminal device.

Optionally, the access network device configures the MDT measurement associated with the QoE measurement, which may be configured to the corresponding terminal device, or may be configured to itself.

And S203, when the terminal equipment starts the application layer measurement corresponding to the QoE measurement, the access network equipment sends the identification of the QoE measurement and the identification of the MDT measurement to the second equipment.

For example, when the access network device knows that QoE measurements and MDT measurements are associated, and the terminal device has initiated application layer measurements corresponding to the QoE measurements, the access network device may send a QoE measurement identity (e.g., qoE reference) and an MDT measurement identity (e.g., MDT trace ID) to the MCE. In the method, the access network equipment only needs to know that the terminal equipment starts the application layer measurement corresponding to QoE measurement, and the MDT measurement identifier can be sent to the MCE.

Specifically, when the access network device learns that the terminal device has started application layer measurement corresponding to QoE measurement, the following two cases may be included:

case one: when the access network equipment receives the QoE measurement starting indication information from the terminal equipment, the access network equipment knows that the terminal equipment starts the application layer measurement corresponding to the QoE measurement, and can send the QoE measurement identification and the MDT measurement identification to the second equipment.

And a second case: when the access network device receives the MDT measurement result from the terminal, the access network device knows that the terminal device has started the application layer measurement and the MDT measurement corresponding to the QoE measurement, and can send the identifier of the QoE measurement and the identifier of the MDT measurement to the second device.

And a third case: when the access network device receives the indication information from another access network device, the indication terminal device starts the application layer measurement corresponding to the QoE measurement, and the access network device configures the MDT measurement for the terminal device or receives the MDT measurement result from the terminal device, the access network device can send the QoE measurement identifier and the MDT measurement identifier to the second device.

In an example, if the terminal device is handed over from the first access network device to the second access network device during the high-speed movement, the second access network device may also perform steps similar to S203, so that the second access network device may also send the QoE measurement identifier and the MDT measurement identifier to the second device. Therefore, the MCE/TCE can correlate the MDT measurement result with the application layer measurement result, and the application layer measurement result and the corresponding MDT measurement result which are reported to different access network devices in the high-speed moving process of the terminal device can not be omitted.

Alternatively, it is assumed that the access network device performing S201-S203 is a first access network device (a base station to which the terminal device is accessed before switching), and the terminal device is accessed after switching is a second access network device. After S203, the following steps may also be performed:

s204, when the terminal device is handed over from the first access network device to the second access network device, the first access network device sends QoE measurement configuration information to the second access network device. Correspondingly, the second access network device receives QoE measurement configuration information from the first access network device.

The QoE measurement configuration information includes an identifier of the QoE measurement and second indication information, where the second indication information indicates that the QoE measurement and the MDT measurement are associated. The descriptions of the QoE measurement configuration information and the second indication information may refer to the second part and the corresponding descriptions in S201, which are not described herein. For example, after the terminal device is switched to the second access network device, the first access network device may send QoE measurement configuration information obtained from the first device and indication information of application layer measurement corresponding to the QoE measurement started by the terminal device to the second access network device.

Alternatively, the QoE measurement configuration information in S204 may be the same as or different from the QoE measurement configuration information in S201. For example, the QoE measurement configuration information in S204 may not include the application layer measurement configuration.

S205, the second access network device configures MDT measurement.

Wherein the MDT measurement corresponds to an identification of the MDT measurement. The descriptions of the MDT measurement and the identification of the MDT measurement associated with the QoE measurement may refer to the second part of the foregoing and the corresponding descriptions in S202, and will not be repeated here.

S206, when the terminal equipment starts the application layer measurement corresponding to the QoE measurement, the second access network equipment sends the QoE measurement identification and the MDT measurement identification to the second equipment.

For example, when the second access network device learns that the QoE measurement and the MDT measurement are associated according to the related information from the first access network device, and the terminal device has initiated the application layer measurement corresponding to the QoE measurement, the second access network device may send a QoE measurement identifier (e.g., qoE reference) and an MDT measurement identifier (e.g., MDT trace ID) to the MCE. Similarly to S203, when the second access network device learns that the terminal device has initiated the application layer measurement corresponding to the QoE measurement, the second access network device may also include the cases one to three described in S203. For example, if it is the third case described in S203, the second access network device may receive QoE measurement initiation indication information from the first access network device, that is, the first access network device forwards QoE measurement initiation indication information of the terminal device to the second access network device. And the second access network device configures the terminal device with the MDT measurement or when the second access network device receives the MDT measurement result from the terminal device, the second access network device may send the QoE measurement identifier and the MDT measurement identifier to the second device.

Optionally, the MDT measurement identifier when the first access network device performs MDT measurement and the MDT measurement identifier when the second access network device performs MDT measurement may be different or the same, which is not limited in this application.
