Example 1

The embodiment of the invention provides a service quality monitoring method.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a service quality monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing a situation on the terminal device side. As shown in FIG. 2, the service quality monitoring method 200 includes:

Step 201: The terminal device monitors the service quality of the service.

Step 202: The terminal device processes the autonomously according to the terminal implementation and/or the network configuration and/or the protocol, or reports the monitoring result to the network device, if the trigger condition is met.

In this embodiment, the terminal device detects the service quality of a service in the connected state, determines whether the service quality of the service meets the specified requirement, and takes corresponding action or the monitoring result if the trigger condition is met. Reported to the network device, the network device takes action and waits for instructions from the network device. Therefore, it is possible to perform service quality monitoring and corresponding processing methods for services with different services and different needs, and provide better services for users.

In this embodiment, the monitoring object may be the entire terminal device or a certain cell or a certain service or a radio bearer (RB) or any combination thereof, that is, the foregoing service in step 201 may be the terminal. All services of the device may also be all services corresponding to a certain cell, or may be a certain service of the terminal device, or may be a certain RB of a certain service of the terminal device, or any combination thereof. The terminal device may determine the monitoring object according to the pre-policy, that is, the service that needs to perform the service quality monitoring. For example, the terminal device may determine the service that needs to perform the service quality monitoring according to the terminal implementation and/or the network configuration and/or the protocol specification. Then, step 201 is performed to perform service quality monitoring on the determined service.

In this embodiment, the monitoring method includes link quality monitoring (L1 monitoring), MAC layer monitoring, and quality of service monitoring of the PDCP layer, and the terminal device may determine the monitoring method based on terminal implementation and/or network configuration and/or protocol specification. For example, when the monitoring object is the entire terminal device or a certain cell, the monitoring result can be obtained through link quality monitoring or monitoring through the MAC layer, or can be obtained by processing the result of the quality of service monitoring of the PDCP layer, that is, the terminal. The monitoring method determined by the device may be link quality monitoring or MAC layer monitoring or quality of service monitoring of the PDCP layer; when the monitoring object is a certain service, the monitoring result may be obtained through MAC layer monitoring, or may be through the quality of service to the PDCP layer. The monitoring result is obtained by processing, that is, the monitoring method determined by the terminal device may be MAC layer monitoring or quality of service monitoring of the PDCP layer; when the monitoring object is an RB, the monitoring result may be monitored by the quality of service of the PDCP layer. The result is processed, that is, the monitoring method determined by the terminal device may be the quality of service monitoring of the PDCP layer. The above is only an example. In specific implementation, the terminal device may determine a specific monitoring method based on the terminal implementation and/or network configuration and/or protocol specifications.

In this embodiment, link quality monitoring refers to monitoring the radio quality of the control channel and/or the data channel. The object to be monitored may be a sync signal block (SSB) or a reference signal such as a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). Also, link quality monitoring includes cell level measurements as well as beam level measurements. The measurement may be reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), block error rate (BLER), or any combination.

In this embodiment, MAC layer monitoring refers to monitoring a process performed at the MAC layer, such as random access, protocol data unit (MAC PDU) transmission of media access control, and the like. The monitored object may include, for example, the number of retransmissions of the random access preamble; the number of times from the successful reception of the random access response to the success of the contention resolution or the failure of the contention resolution for the contention based random access. In this embodiment, new parameters may also be defined to detect the reliability of the data transmission. For example, the monitored object may also be the number or proportion of MAC PDUs successfully transmitted between unsuccessfully transmitted MAC PDUs. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate statistics on the foregoing number or proportion, the MAC PDU may also include a sequence number (SN) of the MAC layer. This implementation does not limit the form of the sequence number and the location in the MAC PDU. For example, it may be located in the MAC header, may be located at the end of the entire MAC PDU, or may be located at other locations.

In this embodiment, the quality of service monitoring of the PDCP layer refers to monitoring the quality of the PDCP PDU. In order to ensure the reliability of PDCP PDU transmission, the monitored object may be the number or proportion of PDCP PDUs successfully transmitted between Protocol Data Units (PDCP PDUs) of the unsuccessfully transmitted Packet Data Convergence Protocol. In order to ensure the low latency of the PDCP PDU transmission, the object to be monitored may be the user plane delay, for example, the downlink user plane delay or the uplink user plane delay, or the total user plane delay, and the downlink user plane delay is, for example, The difference between the arrival time and the timestamp provided by the network side, and the uplink user plane delay is, for example, the difference between the PDCP PDU delay and the downlink user plane delay. In addition, the monitored object may also be a PDCP PDUs whose transmission failure or transmission delay is greater than a certain threshold (referred to as a first threshold) between PDCP PDUs and the transmission delay is less than a certain threshold (referred to as a second threshold). The quantity or ratio, here, can ensure the low latency of PDCP PDU transmission and ensure the reliability of PDCP PDU transmission.

In this embodiment, the trigger condition may be a periodic trigger or an event trigger or a network request trigger or any combination of the above. The terminal device may determine the triggering condition according to the pre-policy. For example, the terminal device may determine the triggering condition according to the terminal implementation and/or the network configuration and/or the protocol, and then perform step 202 to determine whether the triggering condition is met. The terminal implementation and/or network configuration and/or protocol stipulates autonomous processing or reports the monitoring results to the network side. In this embodiment, the parameters and/or thresholds in the foregoing triggering conditions may be separately configured based on different services. Therefore, in the event that the event is triggered, the terminal device may use parameters and/or thresholds corresponding to different services, for a certain The service determines whether the quality of the service meets the trigger condition of the service (parameters and/or thresholds corresponding to the service), and implements measurement and processing for the service.

In this embodiment, the trigger condition of the periodically triggered may be implemented based on a timer, that is, whether the corresponding timer expires, and the behavior of the terminal device is triggered when the timer expires. The timer may be maintained for the entire terminal, or one for each cell, or one for each service (e.g., multiple RBs), or one for each RB. The timer is started when the terminal device receives the timer configuration provided by the network device, and can be restarted when the terminal device completes the terminal behavior. Here, the timer configuration provided by the network device may be, for example, a timer configured for the entire terminal or for each cell or for each service or for each RB; or may be configured with multiple timers, and each timer The value of the corresponding timer. In this embodiment, when a plurality of timers are maintained, the values of the timers may be the same or different, and the values of the timers may be configured by the network device or may be specified by the protocol. In addition, the timer configuration may not be provided by the network device, but may be predefined or pre-configured.

In this embodiment, the trigger condition for event triggering may be configured by the network, may be specified by a protocol, or may be determined based on the implementation of the terminal. And, as previously mentioned, the parameters and/or thresholds in each trigger condition can be separately configured based on different services.

In an embodiment, the trigger condition triggered by the event may be a trigger event reported by the current measurement, such as the event A1, A2, B1, B2, etc., and may refer to an existing standard; or the event The triggered trigger condition may also be a measurement event related to the service; or the trigger condition triggered by the event may also be a condition similar to the current radio link monitoring (RLM) out-of-synchronization indication condition, for example, the monitored downlink channel BLER The threshold is higher than the threshold; or the trigger condition triggered by the event may be a condition similar to the condition that the current RLM determines the physical layer problem or the beam failure instance, for example, the BLER of the downlink channel monitored in consecutive N instances or monitoring periods is higher than Threshold; or, the trigger condition triggered by the event may also be a condition similar to the condition of currently declaring a radio link failure (RLF) through the RLM, for example, the BLER of the downlink channel monitored in consecutive N instances or monitoring periods is higher than a certain Thresholds, and, within the next time T, the monitored downlink channel has a BLER below another threshold for an instance or monitoring period. The method reaches a continuous M.

For example, if the triggering condition is the measurement event related to the service, if the monitoring result of the service quality of the service obtained by the terminal device through the link quality monitoring satisfies the measurement event related to the service, the subsequent behavior of the terminal device is triggered. .

In another embodiment, corresponding to the MAC layer monitoring, the trigger condition triggered by the event may be that the number of retransmissions of the random access preamble reaches a maximum value; or, for contention-based random access, the trigger condition triggered by the event The timer may also be started when the random access response is successfully received, the timer is stopped when the contention is successful, and the terminal behavior is triggered when the timer expires; or, for the contention-based random access, the trigger triggered by the event The condition can also be that the number of times the contention resolution fails reaches a maximum. In addition, corresponding to the MAC layer monitoring, the trigger condition triggered by the event may also be that the number or proportion of successfully transmitted MAC PDUs between unsuccessfully transmitted MAC PDUs is less than a certain threshold (referred to as a third threshold).

For example, if the number of times the contention failure is reached is reached, the terminal device triggers the subsequent behavior of the terminal device when the number of times the contention failure fails. .

For example, if the trigger condition is “the number or proportion of MAC PDUs successfully transmitted between MAC PDUs that are not successfully transmitted is less than the third threshold”, if the terminal device passes the number or proportion of MAC PDUs successfully transmitted between unsuccessfully transmitted MAC PDUs. Statistics, if the obtained statistical result is less than the third threshold, the subsequent behavior of the terminal device is triggered.

In another embodiment, corresponding to the quality of service monitoring of the PDCP layer, the trigger condition triggered by the event may also be that the number or proportion of PDCP PDUs successfully transmitted between unsuccessfully transmitted PDCP PDUs is less than a certain threshold (referred to as a fourth threshold). The triggering condition triggered by the event may also be that the user plane delay is greater than a certain threshold (referred to as a fifth threshold). Here, the user plane delay may be obtained by using an average, maximum, or other statistical method, and may be performed by the uplink user. The face delay and the downlink user plane delay are respectively counted, and may also be counted together; or the trigger condition triggered by the event may also be a successful transmission between the PDCP PDUs whose transmission failure or the transmission delay is greater than the first threshold and the transmission delay The number or proportion of PDCP PDUs smaller than the second threshold is less than a certain threshold (referred to as a sixth threshold).

For example, if the triggering condition is “the number or proportion of PDCP PDUs successfully transmitted between PDCP PDUs that are not successfully transmitted is less than the fourth threshold”, if the terminal device passes the number or proportion of PDCP PDUs successfully transmitted between PDCP PDUs that are not successfully transmitted. Statistics, if the obtained statistical result is less than the fourth threshold, the subsequent behavior of the terminal device is triggered.

In this embodiment, the triggering condition triggered by the network request may be implemented based on the network, that is, the network device may send a request to the terminal device, and the terminal device triggers autonomous processing or reporting according to the network request. For example, the network device may send a request for a certain service to the terminal device, and if the terminal device receives the request of the network device, the terminal device performs autonomous processing on the service or reports the monitoring result for the service to the network device.

In this embodiment, when the trigger condition is met for a certain service, the terminal device may report the monitoring result for the service to the network device, or may not report the monitoring result, but according to the terminal implementation and/or network configuration. And/or the agreement provides for autonomous processing.

In an embodiment, the terminal device reports the monitoring result to the network device, where the terminal device reports the detection result of the service quality of the service to the network device, and the network device determines whether the service quality is met, and if necessary, performs corresponding processing.

For example, the terminal device may report the monitoring result of the service quality of the service obtained by monitoring the link quality and/or monitoring the MAC layer and/or monitoring the quality of service of the PDCP layer based on the configuration of the network device. Give network devices. The network device may re-allocate the data radio bearer (DRB), switch the service to another cell, replace the secondary cell for the service, or interrupt the service, etc., based on the content reported by the terminal device and the information on the network side.

In this embodiment, when the terminal device reports the foregoing monitoring result to the network device, if the trigger condition for triggering the terminal behavior is an event trigger, the terminal device may simultaneously start a timer (referred to as a first timer) if During the time of the first timer, the terminal device does not receive feedback from the network device, and the terminal device processes the service. If the terminal device receives the feedback of the network device within the time of the first timer, the terminal device stops the first timer.

In another embodiment, the terminal device may report the monitoring result to the network device, and the terminal device may report the triggering event that triggers the terminal device to report to the network device, where the network device performs processing, and the network device may reconfigure the service. The DRB switches the service to another cell, replaces the secondary cell for the service, or interrupts the service.

In this embodiment, the triggering event that triggers the terminal device to report, that is, the reported content of the terminal device may include, but is not limited to, any one or any combination of the following:

Identify the object in question, such as the DRB ID, service type, and service quality ID.

Trigger event, trigger condition as described above;

Available monitoring results, monitoring methods as described above;

Traffic information, such as BSR;

Business type, such as whether to allow interrupts.

In this embodiment, when the terminal device reports the trigger event to the network device, it may suspend the problematic service and start a timer (referred to as a second timer) to wait for feedback from the network device. , that is, if the feedback of the network device is received during the running of the timer, the timer is stopped; if the feedback of the network device is not received after the timer expires, the autonomous behavior is taken, that is, the service is processed. .

In this embodiment, the terminal device may perform the process autonomously: suspending the service for service reconstruction, suspending the service for beam recovery, switching the service to another cell, interrupting the service, etc., the terminal device may The specific processing method is determined based on the terminal implementation and/or network configuration and/or protocol specifications.

For example, if the service (that is, the service that meets the event trigger condition) is not satisfied, the terminal device can suspend all services of the PCell and select other cells to reserve the radio bearer configuration. The service quality requirement and/or the service type may be considered when selecting a cell, but this embodiment does not limit this, and other factors may also be considered to select a cell.

In this embodiment, after the terminal device selects another cell and re-establishes the connection, the terminal device may report the monitoring result of the service quality or the triggering event that is triggered by the terminal device to the new serving cell, and collect the service quality on the network side. relevant information.

For another example, if the service that does not meet the required service (that is, the service that meets the trigger condition) is a non-PCell service, the terminal device may transfer the service to another serving cell, and lower the standard to perform service monitoring on the non-PCell or The monitoring result is reported to the network device, and the network device performs corresponding processing. The standard is reduced to perform service monitoring on the non-PCell, for example, using loose monitoring parameters or thresholds for service quality monitoring. The method of reporting to the network device is as described above. For example, the monitoring result of the service may be reported, or the triggering event that triggers the reporting by the terminal device may be reported, and details are not described herein.

For example, if the above-mentioned service (that is, the service that satisfies the trigger condition) that does not meet the requirement is a service on one beam, that is, by monitoring the quality of the service, and the monitoring result is a failure of the beam level, the terminal device can hang. For all services on the beam, other beams are selected for beam recovery. The service quality requirement and/or the service type may be considered when selecting a beam. However, this embodiment does not limit this, and other factors may also be considered to select a beam.

For example, based on the service type and the quality of the neighboring cell, when the service fails, that is, by monitoring the service quality, the service that meets the trigger condition (the service that does not meet the requirement) is found, and the terminal device may not change the service. Serving the cell or the beam, but interrupting the service, for example, suspending the DRBs of the service, clearing the buffer, etc., and lowering the standard to perform service quality monitoring on the service, for example, using loose monitoring thresholds or parameters to perform services on the service. Quality monitoring.

In this embodiment, the terminal device may perform service recovery after the service is processed according to the determined processing manner, that is, autonomously recovering the service, and the specific recovery mode may be to continue to use the radio bearer configuration or the new before the service suspension. Configure new data to transfer the suspended service or data that has not been transferred before the service is suspended.

In addition, if the processing mode is to select another cell, the service recovery may be to perform service reconstruction and/or recovery on the selected cell; if the processing mode is beam recovery, the service recovery may be after the beam recovery is successful. , for business reconstruction.

According to the method of the embodiment, the current monitoring mechanism can only provide the binary information of the service success/failure, and the current and future aspects are in terms of delay, bandwidth, reliability, and simultaneous terminal density. The services of different services in the communication system with different requirements provide service quality monitoring and corresponding processing methods to provide better services for users.
