detailed description

First, the related concepts of this application will be described.

Service transmission measurement includes one or more of the following: minimization of drive-tests (MDT) measurement and L2 measurement.

MDT measurement includes logging MDT (logged MDT) and immediate MDT (immediate MDT). The real-time MDT is mainly for the measurement of the terminal in the radio resource connection (radio resource control (RRC) connection state), and the recording MDT is mainly for the measurement of the terminal in the idle state. Instant MDT can measure at least one of the following: terminal data volume measurement, throughput rate measurement, packet transmission delay measurement, packet loss rate measurement, processing delay measurement, etc. The recorded MDT can measure one or more of the following: random access channel (random access channel, RACH) failure measurement, signal strength measurement, connection establishment failure measurement, radio link failure (radio link failure, RLF) Measurement failed.

The L2 measurement is used to collect some network performance on the network side for radio link management, radio resource management, network maintenance and other functions. Among them, some L2 measurements are statistics for a terminal, such as service throughput, service traffic, terminal processing delay, terminal air interface delay, etc.

The 5th generation core network (5G Core Netwrok, 5GC) adopts a QoS architecture based on Quality of Service (QoS) flow. QoS flow refers to the service flow with the same service processing characteristics (such as scheduling strategy, queue management strategy, etc.). The minimum granularity of service classification in 5GC is QoS flow. 5GC will assign a QoS flow identification (ID) to the base station for each QoS flow. There is a protocol data unit (protocol data unit, PDU for short) session connection between the terminal and the core network to provide data services. The corresponding PDU session data packets are differentiated according to the QoS flow granularity (that is, a PDU session may include multiple QoS flows. In order to adapt to the QoS architecture in 5GC, the base station side introduces a new wireless protocol layer-service data The adaptation protocol (service data adaptation protocol, referred to as SDAP) layer. The SDAP layer is used to map each QoS flow from the 5GC to the data radio bearer (DRB) of the wireless access layer, that is, according to the QoS flow. Business attribute, the data packet corresponding to the QoS flow is transmitted on the corresponding DRB. That is to say, the relationship between the PDU session, the QoS flow, and the DRB is: a PDU session can include multiple QoS flows under the PDU session These multiple QoS flows can be mapped to multiple DRBs (that is, at least one QoS flow can be mapped to one DRB). The QoS flows in different PDU sessions are mapped to different DRBs (that is, QoS under different PDU sessions Flows cannot be mapped to the same DRB. In addition, different services have different QoS characteristics (the QoS characteristics in the standard are called 5QI), and a QoS flow may correspond to at least one QoS characteristic.

Network slicing (Network Slicing) essentially allows differentiated processing based on customer needs. Through network slicing, operators can treat customers with different business needs as different tenant types. Operators determine the corresponding slicing type based on the customer's Service Level Agreement (SLA) and subscriptions (subsriptions). For example, the operator's physical network is divided into multiple virtual networks, and each virtual network is divided according to different service requirements, such as delay, bandwidth, security, and reliability, to flexibly respond to different customer needs in network application scenarios . Among them, a network slice may include one or more PDU sessions.

The terminal can correspond to multiple network slices at the same time; no matter how many network slices the terminal corresponds to, the terminal and the network have only one signaling connection.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a possible system architecture provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the communication system includes a first network device, a second network device, and a terminal.

The terminal can communicate with the first network device and the second network device, that is, dual-connectivity (dual-connectivity, DC). The first network device may be a primary base station in a dual connection scenario, the second network device may be a secondary base station in a dual connection scenario, and the first network device and the second network device may be base stations of different communication standards or the same communication Standard base station.

In the following, some terms in this application will be explained to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand:

The network equipment can be an evolved base station (Evolutional Node B, eNB or eNodeB) in Long Term Evolution (LTE), or a relay station or access point, or a base station in a 5G network, such as a transmission and reception point (Transmission and Reception Point (TRP), controller, not limited here. In a possible manner, the network device may be a base station (such as gNB) with a separate architecture of CU and DU, as shown in FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a protocol stack of a network device provided by an embodiment of the present application. The RAN device may be connected to the core network device (for example, it may be an LTE core network or a 5G core network, etc.). CU and DU can be understood as a division of the base station from the perspective of logical functions. The CU and DU can be physically separated or deployed together. Multiple DUs can share a CU. One DU can also be connected to multiple CUs (not shown). CU and DU can be connected through an interface, for example, can be F1 interface. CU and DU can be divided according to the protocol layer of the wireless network. For example, the functions of Radio Resource Control (RRC), Service Data Adaptation Protocol Stack (Service Data Adaptation Protocol, SDAP) and Packet Data Convergence Layer Protocol (packet data convergence protocol, PDCP) layer are set at CU, while the wireless chain Functions such as radio link (RLC), media access control (MAC) layer, and physical (PHY) layer are set in the DU. It can be understood that the division of the CU and DU processing functions according to this protocol layer is only an example, and can also be divided in other ways. For example, CU or DU can be divided into functions with more protocol layers. For example, CU or DU can also be divided into some processing functions with a protocol layer. In one design, part of the functions of the RLC layer and the functions of the protocol layer above the RLC layer are set in the CU, and the remaining functions of the RLC layer and the functions of the protocol layer below the RLC layer are set in the DU. In another design, the functions of the CU or DU can also be divided according to service types or other system requirements. For example, according to the delay division, the function whose processing time needs to meet the delay requirement is set in the DU, and the function that does not need to meet the delay requirement is set in the CU. In another design, the CU may also have one or more functions of the core network. One or more CUs can be set centrally or separately. For example, the CU can be set on the network side to facilitate centralized management. The DU can have multiple radio frequency functions, and the radio frequency functions can also be set remotely.

The functions of the CU can be realized by one entity or different entities. For example, the function of the CU can be further divided, for example, the control plane (CP) and the user plane (UP) are separated, that is, the control plane (CU-CP) and the CU user plane (CU-UP) of the CU. For example, CU-CP and CU-UP may be implemented by different functional entities, and the CU-CP and CU-UP may be coupled with the DU to jointly complete the functions of the base station. In a possible way, the CU-CP is responsible for control plane functions, mainly including RRC and PDCP-C. PDCP-C is mainly responsible for the encryption and decryption of control plane data, integrity protection, data transmission, etc. CU-UP is responsible for user plane functions, mainly including SDAP and PDCP-U. SDAP is mainly responsible for processing the data of the core network and mapping the data flow to the bearer. PDCP-U is mainly responsible for encryption and decryption of data plane, integrity protection, header compression, serial number maintenance, data transmission, etc. Among them CU-CP and CU-UP are connected through E1 interface. CU-CP stands for gNB and connects to the core network through the Ng interface. Connect with DU through F1-C (control plane). CU-UP is connected to DU through F1-U (user plane). Of course, there is also a possible realization that PDCP-C is also in CU-UP.

The understanding of the technical meaning of the relevant object should be determined mainly from the functions and technical effects embodied/executed in the technical solution .

The method for measuring the service transmission of the present application will be described below with reference to specific embodiments.

FIG. 3 is a signaling interaction diagram 1 of a service transmission measurement method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG. 3, the method in this embodiment includes:

Step S201: The terminal sends the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the second network device. The first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity is obtained after the terminal performs the service transmission measurement.

Specifically, the terminal in this embodiment is a terminal having service transmission with the second network device.

In the dual connection scenario corresponding to the architecture shown in FIG. 1, the second network device in this embodiment may be a secondary base station, and the first network device may be a primary base station.

The first network device may send a measurement message to the second network device to initiate service transmission measurement. The measurement message is used to notify the second network device to perform service transmission measurement.

The second network device may perform service transmission measurement according to one or more of the following conditions: measurement parameters, measurement objects, measurement granularity, and reporting granularity. Among them, one or more of these conditions may be specified by the first network device through a measurement message, or may be defined by default or agreed by the system according to the protocol. It can be understood that, if a certain condition is not carried in the measurement message, the second network device may set this condition to perform service transmission measurement according to protocol agreement or default definition.

For example, the measurement message may include the measurement parameter and/or the identification of the measurement object, and the measurement message may include neither the measurement parameter nor the measurement object; if the measurement message does not include the measurement parameter, the measurement parameter may be the agreement If the measurement object is not included in the measurement message, the measurement object may be agreed in the protocol. For another example, the measurement message may include neither the measurement granularity nor the reporting granularity, or the measurement message may include the measurement granularity and/or the reporting granularity.

The measurement parameters may include at least one of the following: throughput, throughput rate, delay, packet loss rate, upstream processing delay, downstream processing delay, and air interface delay measurement. The measurement object may be one or more, for example, one or more DRBs, and/or, one or more QoS flows and/or, one or more PDU sessions and/or, one or more QoS characteristics and/or, One or more network slices and/or, for the entire terminal, it can be understood that, taking DRB as an example, which DRBs are to be measured, or which DRBs need to be measured, the measurement message includes these several DRB logo. It can be understood that, for each measurement parameter, each measurement object needs to measure the measurement parameter.

Some of the measurement parameters are used by the terminal for measurement, and some are used by the second network device for measurement. For convenience of expression, one or more parameters used for terminal measurement may be referred to as a first parameter for the second The one or more parameters measured by the network device are called second parameters. For example, the first parameter may be at least one of uplink processing delay, downlink processing delay, and air interface delay. If the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement include the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal, the second network device may send a request message to the terminal, where the request message is used to instruct the terminal to obtain the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity. The first granularity may be DRB granularity, or the first granularity may be any one of the following: QoS flow granularity, PDU session granularity, QoS characteristic granularity, network slice granularity, terminal granularity.

In a possible implementation manner, the second network device may determine the content in the request message according to the measurement message. The conditions included in the request message may match the conditions included in the measurement message. For example, if the measurement message includes the measurement object, the request message also includes the measurement object, and if the measurement parameter in the measurement message includes the first parameter, the request message also includes the first parameter.

For another example, if the measurement message includes neither the measurement granularity nor the reporting granularity, the request message includes neither the measurement granularity nor the reporting granularity. If the measurement message includes measurement granularity, the request message also includes measurement granularity. If the measurement message includes the reporting granularity, the request message also includes the reporting granularity.

After receiving the request message, the terminal performs measurement according to the first parameter to obtain the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

Among them, the terminal performs service transmission measurement according to the measurement granularity and/or reporting granularity, which has the following situations:

(1) The measurement message includes the measurement granularity but does not include the reporting granularity, and the request message includes the measurement granularity and does not include the reporting granularity (in this case, the first granularity is the measurement granularity), the terminal measures the first parameter according to the first granularity to obtain the first granularity The first business transmission measurement result.

(2) If the measurement message includes the reported granularity but not the measured granularity, the request message may include the reported granularity but not the measured granularity (in this case, the first granularity is the same as the reported granularity), the terminal measures according to the preset measured granularity, if the preset The measurement granularity is not the same as the first granularity, and the terminal needs to convert the first service transmission measurement result of the preset measurement granularity into the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity. In an optional implementation manner, the terminal may also measure the second parameter according to the first granularity, that is, the reported granularity, to obtain the second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

(3) If the measurement message includes the reported granularity and the measured granularity, the request message may include the measured granularity and the reported granularity. The measured granularity and the reported granularity may be the same or different. The reported granularity is the first granularity, and the terminal according to the measured granularity Measure the first parameter to obtain the first service transmission measurement result of the measurement granularity. If the measurement granularity is different from the first granularity, the terminal needs to convert the first service transmission measurement result of the measurement granularity into the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity . Of course, in order to save resources, the terminal can also ignore the measurement granularity and directly measure according to the reported granularity to obtain the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

For example, the first parameter is uplink processing delay and downlink processing delay, the measurement objects are DRB1 and DRB2, and the first granularity is DRB granularity, then the terminal obtains the uplink processing delay corresponding to DRB1 and the downlink processing delay, and the uplink corresponding to DRB2 Processing delay and downlink processing delay to obtain the measurement results of the uplink processing delay and the downlink processing delay at the DRB granularity (the first granularity of the first service transmission measurement result), at this time, the first granularity of the first service measurement The results include uplink processing delay measurement results and downlink processing delay measurement results corresponding to DRB1, and uplink processing delay measurement results and downlink processing delay measurement results corresponding to DRB2.

Optionally, when the terminal sends the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the second network device, the terminal may also measure the radio measured in the serving cell corresponding to the first network device and the serving cell corresponding to the second network device. The signal quality measurement result is sent to the second network device. The serving cell corresponding to the first network device and the serving cell corresponding to the second network device may belong to different communication standards, or may belong to the same communication standard.

It can be understood that, if the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement does not include the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal, or the second network device determines that the measurement result of the terminal does not need to be obtained, for example, the second network device already has the first report by the terminal If the granularity of the first service transmission measurement result, or the second network device does not obtain the terminal's service transmission measurement result for other reasons, you can skip step S201 "The terminal sends the first granularity first service transmission measurement result to the second network device ", but the interaction between the first network device and the second network device exists. That is, step S201 is optional.

Step S202: The second network device sends a first granularity service transmission measurement result to the first network device. The first granularity service transmission measurement result includes the first granularity second service obtained after the second network device performs the service transmission measurement The transmission measurement result and/or the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

The second network device may send the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device, including: the second network device sends the correspondence between the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity and the measurement object to the first network device.

After receiving the measurement message from the first network device, the second network device may send a feedback response to the measurement message to the first network device, and the feedback response may include the first information and/or the second information; wherein, the first information It includes the identification of the measurement object that refused to measure, or the first information includes the identification of the measurement object that refused to measure and the reason for the rejection; the second information includes the identification of the measurement object that can be measured.

If the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement includes the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, after receiving the measurement message, the second network device measures the second parameter according to the measurement message to obtain the second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

Exemplarily, if the second parameters that need to be measured by the second network device include throughput and throughput, the measurement objects are DRB1 and DRB2, and the first granularity is DRB granularity, the second network device obtains the throughput and throughput corresponding to DRB1 The throughput and throughput rate corresponding to DRB2, that is, the second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity includes the throughput measurement result and throughput measurement result corresponding to DRB1, the throughput measurement result and throughput measurement result corresponding to DRB2.

Specifically, as described above, the measurement message may include measurement granularity and/or reporting granularity, or may not include measurement granularity and reporting granularity.

If the measurement message includes measurement granularity and/or reporting granularity, there are the following situations:

(1) The measurement message includes the measurement granularity and does not include the reporting granularity, then the first granularity is the measurement granularity. At this time, the second network device measures the second parameter according to the first granularity to obtain the second service transmission measurement of the first granularity result.

(2) If the measurement message includes the reported granularity and does not include the measured granularity, the first granularity is the same as the reported granularity. At this time, the second network device measures the second parameter according to the preset measured granularity to obtain the second of the preset measured granularity For the service transmission measurement result, if the preset measurement granularity is not the same as the first granularity, the second network device converts the second service transmission measurement result of the preset measurement granularity into the second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity. Of course, the second network device may also measure the second parameter according to the first granularity, that is, the reported granularity, to obtain the second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

(3) If the measurement message includes the reported granularity and the measured granularity, the measured granularity and the reported granularity may be the same or different, and the reported granularity is the first granularity. The second network device measures the second parameter according to the measurement granularity to obtain the second service transmission measurement result of the measurement granularity. If the measurement granularity and the first granularity are not the same, the second network device converts the measurement result of the second service transmission of the measurement granularity into The second granularity of the second service transmission measurement result. Of course, in order to save resources, the second network device can also ignore the measurement granularity and directly measure according to the reported granularity to obtain the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

After obtaining the second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity, the second network device sends the second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the network device; if the second network device obtains the first service transmission measurement of the first granularity from the terminal As a result, the second network device will also send the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device; if the second network device does not need to measure or there is no second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity, but there is a terminal At the first granularity of the first service transmission measurement result, the second network device sends the first granularity of the first service transmission measurement result to the first network device.

If the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement includes the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, the first granularity service transmission measurement result includes the first granularity second service transmission measurement result, and if the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement includes The first parameter measured by the terminal is required, and the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity includes the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

The second network device may send the service transmission result of the first granularity to the first network device in various ways, for example, it may be sent through the user plane or the control plane.

If the first granularity service transmission measurement result is sent by the second network device to the first network device through the user plane, the second network device needs to know the general packet radio service tunneling protocol used to send the first granularity service transmission measurement result (General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol, referred to as GTP) channel address. The GTP channel address used to send the first granularity service transmission measurement result may be carried in the measurement message.

On the premise that the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity includes the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity, the first service transmission measurement result of the terminal obtained by the second network device may also be another granularity different from the first granularity Measurement results. At this time, the second network device needs to convert the first granularity first service transmission measurement result of the terminal into the first granularity first service transmission measurement result. A possible situation is that no matter whether the measurement message carries the measurement granularity and/or the reporting granularity, the request message does not carry the measurement granularity and the reporting granularity, and the terminal measures according to the preset measurement granularity to obtain the first service with the preset measurement granularity For the transmission result, the terminal sends the first service transmission result of the preset measurement granularity to the second network device; if the preset measurement granularity is not the same as the first granularity, the second network device transmits the first service transmission measurement result of the preset measurement granularity The first service transmission measurement result converted into the first granularity, or the second network device directly sends the first service transmission measurement result of the preset measurement granularity to the first network device. It should be noted that this is only an example and is not intended to be limiting.

Step S203: The second network device sends a mapping relationship to the first network device. The mapping relationship includes the mapping relationship between the QoS flow and the DRB and/or the mapping relationship between the DRB and the PDU session. Transform into the second granularity service transmission measurement result.

Specifically, the mapping relationship may be carried in the feedback response of the second network device to the measurement message, and the mapping relationship may also be sent to the first network device together with the service transmission result of the first granularity. It can be understood that step S202 and step S203 may refer to two independent sending actions to send different contents respectively, or may refer to sending different contents in the same sending action.

In the dual connection scenario, the PDU session corresponding to the terminal, the QoS flow corresponding to the PDU session, the QoS characteristics corresponding to the QoS flow, and the network slice corresponding to the PDU session are determined by the core network device, and the core network device will notify the first network The PDU session corresponding to the device terminal, the QoS flow included in the PDU session, the QoS characteristics corresponding to the QoS flow, and the network slice corresponding to the PDU session. Since the terminal in this embodiment is a terminal having service transmission with the second network device, the DRB to which the QoS flow in the PDU session of the terminal is mapped is determined by the second network device, and the first network device does not know the terminal To which DRB the QoS flow in the PDU session is mapped, therefore, in the scenario where the first granularity is DRB granularity or the second granularity is DRB granularity, if the first granularity service transmission measurement result is converted into the second granularity service To transmit the measurement result, the second network device needs to send the mapping relationship between the QoS flow and the DRB and/or the mapping relationship between the DRB and the PDU session to the first network device.

The combination of the first particle size and the second particle size in this embodiment may be in the following form:

The first granularity is DRB granularity, and the second granularity is any one of QoS flow granularity, PDU session granularity, QoS characteristic granularity, network slice granularity, and terminal granularity; or,

The second granularity is DRB granularity, and the first granularity is any one of QoS flow granularity, PDU session granularity, QoS characteristic granularity, network slice granularity, and terminal granularity.

For the mapping relationship between the QoS flow and the DRB, the mapping relationship between the QoS flow and the DRB related to the actually measured object can be sent to the first network device. The actual measured object is the object that needs to be measured and can be measured (such as The object that can be measured in the measurement message is the object that needs to be measured and can be measured). For example, the terminal corresponds to DRB1, DRB2, DRB3, DRB4, and the actual measured objects are DRB1, DRB2, then the mapping relationship includes the ID of DRB1, the ID of the QoS flow mapped to DRB1, the ID of DRB2, and the QoS mapped to DRB2 The ID of the stream.

Similarly, for the mapping relationship between the PDU session and the DRB, the mapping relationship between the PDU session and the DRB related to the actually measured object can be sent to the first network device.

Further, the GTP channel address used to send the first granularity service transmission measurement result may not be carried in the measurement message, but after the second network device sends the mapping relationship to the first network device, the first network device sends the The GTP channel address of the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity is sent to the second network device.

Specifically, the first network device can learn the objects that have actually been measured through the mapping relationship, so that the first network device can establish a GTP channel address for the objects that have actually been measured, and the GTP channels corresponding to the objects that have actually been measured The address is the GTP channel address used to send the first granularity service transmission measurement result. That is, after the second network device sends the mapping relationship to the first network device, the first network device sends the GTP channel address used to send the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the second network device, and the sent GTP channel address is more accurate .

Step S204: The first network device converts the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity into the service transmission measurement result of the second granularity according to the mapping relationship.

Specifically, in a solution, after receiving the mapping relationship, the first network device converts the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity into the service transmission measurement result of the second granularity according to the mapping relation, specifically: according to the mapping relation and The measurement parameter corresponding to the service transmission measurement converts the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity into the second granularity service transmission measurement result.

In one way, if the first granularity is the DRB granularity and the second granularity is the QoS flow granularity, the first granularity service transmission measurement result is the DRB business transmission measurement result, and the second granularity service transmission measurement result is the QoS flow The measurement result of the service transmission of the mapping relationship is the mapping relationship between the QoS flow and the DRB. The measurement parameters corresponding to the service transmission include throughput, throughput, upstream processing delay, downstream processing delay, air interface delay and packet loss rate. One; according to the mapping relationship and the measurement parameters corresponding to the service transmission, the first granularity service transmission measurement result is converted into the second granularity service transmission measurement result, including:

a1. Obtain the QoS flows mapped by the measurement object DRB according to the mapping relationship;

a2. For each measurement object DRB, divide the throughput measurement result corresponding to one DRB by the number of QoS flows mapped by the one DRB to obtain the throughput measurement result corresponding to each QoS flow mapped by the one DRB;

a3. For each DRB to be measured, divide the throughput measurement result corresponding to one DRB by the respective number of each QoS flow mapped by the one DRB, to obtain the throughput measurement result corresponding to each QoS flow mapped by the one DRB;

a4. For each measurement object DRB, determine the uplink processing delay measurement result corresponding to one DRB as the uplink processing delay measurement result corresponding to each QoS flow mapped by the one DRB;

a5. For each DRB to be measured, determine the downlink processing delay measurement result corresponding to one DRB as the downlink processing delay measurement result corresponding to each QoS flow mapped by the one DRB;

a6. For each measurement object DRB, determine the air interface delay measurement result corresponding to one DRB as the air interface processing delay measurement result corresponding to each QoS flow mapped by the one DRB;

a7. For each DRB to be measured, determine the packet loss rate corresponding to one DRB and measure the packet loss rate corresponding to each QoS flow mapped by the one DRB.

For a2～a7, it can be selectively executed according to the measurement parameters actually included.

In another way, if the first granularity is the QoS flow granularity and the second granularity is the DRB granularity, the first granularity service transmission measurement result is the QoS flow business transmission measurement result, and the second granularity service transmission measurement result The result is the DRB service transmission measurement result, and the mapping relationship is the mapping relationship between the QoS flow and the DRB;

If the measurement parameters include throughput, throughput rate, upstream processing delay, downstream processing delay, air interface delay, and packet loss rate, the first granularity service transmission measurement result is converted to the second granularity according to the mapping relationship The results of business transmission measurements, including:

b1. According to the mapping relationship, obtain the DRB of the measurement object QoS flow mapping;

b2. Sum the throughput measurement results corresponding to each QoS flow mapped to the same DRB to obtain the throughput measurement results corresponding to the corresponding DRB;

b3. Sum up the throughput measurement results corresponding to each QoS flow mapping the same DRB to obtain the throughput measurement results corresponding to the corresponding DRB;

b4. Determine that the maximum or average value of the upstream processing delay measurement result corresponding to each QoS flow mapping the same DRB is the upstream processing delay measurement result corresponding to the corresponding DRB;

b5. Determine that the maximum or average value of the downlink processing delay measurement result corresponding to the QoS flow mapping the same DRB is the downlink processing delay measurement result corresponding to the corresponding DRB;

b6. Determine that the maximum or average value of the air interface delay measurement result corresponding to each QoS flow mapping the same DRB is the air interface delay measurement result corresponding to the corresponding DRB;

b7. Determine that the maximum or average value of the packet loss rate measurement results corresponding to each QoS flow that maps the same DRB is the packet loss rate measurement result corresponding to the corresponding DRB.

For b2~b7, it can be selectively executed according to the measurement parameters actually included.

In another solution, the first network device receives the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity, sends the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to other devices, and after receiving the mapping relationship, the first network device transmits the mapping relationship Sent to other equipment, and the other equipment converts the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity into the service transmission measurement result of the second granularity. That is, step S204 is optional.

Regardless of whether there is a second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device among the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement, steps S201 to S204 are all achievable service transmission measurement methods. It can be understood that if there is no second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device in the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement, there is a first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal. When the first granularity or the second granularity is the DRB granularity, the business transmission The measurement method may also be: the first network device directly sends a measurement message to the terminal, and after acquiring the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity according to the measurement message, the terminal sends the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network Device; the first network device sends a first message to the second network device, the first message is used to instruct the second network device to send the mapping relationship to the first network device. The second network device sends the mapping relationship to the first network device according to the first message. The first network device converts the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity into the second service transmission measurement result of the second granularity according to the mapping relationship, or the first network device may convert the mapping relationship and the first service transmission of the first granularity The measurement result is sent to other devices, and according to the mapping relationship, the other device converts the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity into the second service transmission measurement result of the second granularity.

Further, it can be known from the above description that the first network device knows the PDU session corresponding to the terminal, the QoS flow included in the PDU session, the QoS characteristics corresponding to the QoS flow, and the network slice corresponding to the PDU session. Therefore, if the first granularity and the second granularity None are DRB granularity, the first network device may not need to convert the first granularity service transmission measurement result into the second granularity service transmission measurement result according to the above mapping relationship sent by the second network device.

In addition, since different PDU sessions may include identifying the same QoS flow, in the scenario where neither the first granularity nor the second granularity is the DRB granularity, that is, if the first granularity is the PDU session granularity, network slice granularity, QoS characteristic granularity, terminal Any one of the granularities, when the second granularity is any of the PDU session granularity, network slice granularity, QoS characteristic granularity, and terminal granularity (the first granularity and the second granularity are different), the first network device is based on the core network device The notified terminal corresponds to the QoS flow corresponding to the PDU session and/or the QoS characteristic corresponding to the QoS flow and/or the network slice corresponding to the PDU session, etc., and converts the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity into the second granularity of the first For the service transmission measurement result, the first network device may also send the corresponding relationship and the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to other devices, and other devices may convert the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity according to the correspondence The measurement result of the first service transmission into the second granularity. If the first granularity is the QoS flow granularity, the second network device may send the PDU session corresponding to the QoS flow corresponding to the service measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device.

In this embodiment, when one of the granularity of the service transmission result that the first network device or other device wants to present and the granularity of the service transmission result sent by the second network device is the DRB granularity, the second network device sends the QoS flow and The mapping relationship between the DRB and/or the mapping relationship between the DRB and the PDU session to the first network device realizes that the first network device or other devices can convert the granularity of the service transmission result sent by the second network device into the desired service transmission The purpose of the granularity of the results.

It should be understood that the size of the sequence numbers of the above processes does not mean that the execution order is sequential, nor does it mean that the steps corresponding to the sequence numbers of the above processes must be executed.

The first granularity service transmission measurement result includes the first granularity first service transmission measurement result and/or the first granularity second Service transmission measurement results;

Step S307: The second network device sends a mapping relationship to the first network device. The mapping relationship includes a mapping relationship between a QoS flow and a DRB and/or a mapping relationship between a DRB and a PDU session and/or a PDU session mapped to a QoS flow. The mapping relationship is used to Transform the first granularity service transmission measurement result into the second granularity service transmission measurement result;

3 and 4 are a service transmission measurement method in the case where the second network device needs to send the mapping relationship to the first network device. The following describes the mapping relationship needs to be sent to the first network device at the second network device with reference to FIG. 5. In the case of another service transmission measurement method will be described. FIG. 5 is a signaling interaction diagram 3 of a service transmission measurement method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to FIG. 5, the method in this embodiment includes:

Step S401: The terminal sends the acquired first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device.

Specifically, the terminal in this embodiment is a terminal having service transmission with the second network device. Under the architecture shown in FIG. 1, the second network device in this embodiment may be a secondary base station, and the first network device may be a primary base station.

For step S401, in the first solution, if the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement include the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device and include the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal, step S401 is different from step S201 In step S401, the second network device sends a request message to the first network device, the first network device forwards the request message to the terminal, and the terminal sends the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device; further, the terminal The correspondence between the first granularity of the first service transmission measurement result and the measurement object is sent to the first network device. The rest of the specific implementation of step S401 in this solution is the same as step S201, and will not be repeated here.

The reason why the second network device needs the first network device to forward the request message is that in the dual connection, the second network device may not have the ability to directly send RRC messages to the terminal.

For step S401, in the second solution, before the terminal sends the acquired first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device, the terminal directly receives the measurement message from the first network device, and the terminal obtains the first The granularity of the first service transmission measurement result. In this solution, if the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement include the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal and the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, the terminal and the second network device respectively receive the measurement from the first network device Message, if the measurement message received by the terminal includes the measurement parameter, the measurement parameter included in the measurement message received by the terminal is the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal, and if the measurement message received by the second network device includes the measurement parameter, the second The measurement parameter included in the measurement message received by the network device is a second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device.

It can be understood that, if the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement does not include the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal, step S401 does not exist. That is, step S401 is optional.

Step S402: The second network device sends a first granularity service transmission measurement result to the first network device. The first granularity service transmission measurement result includes: a first granularity second service transmission measurement result and/or a first granularity second A service transmission measurement result. The second granularity of the second service transmission measurement result is obtained after the second network device performs the service transmission measurement.

Specifically, the second network device sending the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device includes: the second network device sending the correspondence between the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity and the measurement object to the first network device .

The process of acquiring the second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity after the second network device performs the service transmission measurement refers to the explanation in step S202, and will not be repeated here.

If step S401 exists and step S401 is implemented using the first solution, after the terminal sends the acquired first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device, the first network device may also send the first granularity of the first The service transmission measurement result is sent to the second network device, and at this time, the second network device also sends the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device. At this time, if the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement includes the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, the first granularity service transmission measurement result sent by the second network device includes: the first granularity second service transmission measurement result And the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity, if the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement does not include the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, the first granularity service transmission measurement result sent by the second network device includes: The first granularity of the first service transmission measurement result.

If there is step S401 and step S401 is implemented using the first solution, but after the terminal sends the acquired first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device, the first network device does not send the first service of the first granularity Transmit the measurement result to the second network device, and if the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement includes the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, the first granularity service transmission measurement result sent by the second network device includes: the first granularity The second service transmission measurement result, if the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement does not include the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, step S402 "the second network device sends the first granularity service transmission measurement result to the first network "Device" can be skipped.

If there is step S401, which is implemented using the second solution and the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement do not include the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, then step S402 "the second network device sends a first granularity service transmission "The measurement result to the first network device" does not exist. If there is step S401, which is implemented using the second solution and the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement include the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, then the first granularity service transmission sent by the second network device in step S402 The measurement result includes: a second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

If step S401 does not exist, the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement include the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, then the first granularity service transmission measurement result sent by the second network device in step S402 includes: The second service transmits the measurement result.

Step S403: The second network device sends a mapping relationship to the first network device. The mapping relationship includes a mapping relationship between a QoS flow and a DRB and/or a mapping relationship between a DRB and a PDU session and/or a PDU session mapped to a QoS flow. The mapping relationship is used to Transforming the first granularity service transmission measurement result into the second granularity service transmission measurement result, where the first granularity service transmission measurement result includes the first granularity first service transmission measurement result and/or the first granularity second service transmission measurement result Measurement results.

Specifically, for the remaining specific implementation of step S403, refer to step S203 in the previous embodiment, and details are not described in this embodiment.

It can be understood that step S402 and step S403 may refer to two independent sending actions to send different contents respectively, or may refer to sending different contents in the same sending action. It can be understood that if step S402 does not exist, the first network device may not send the GTP channel address of the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the second network device.

If step S402 does not exist, the mapping relationship may be that after the terminal sends the acquired first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device, the first network device sends a request to obtain the mapping relationship to the second network device. The device sends the mapping relationship to the first network device according to the request to obtain the mapping relationship.

Step S404: The first network device converts the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity into the service transmission measurement result of the second granularity according to the mapping relationship.

Wherein, the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement include second parameters that need to be measured by the second network device, then the first granularity service transmission measurement result includes the first granularity second service transmission measurement result; the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement includes The first parameter measured by the terminal is required, and the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity includes the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

Specifically, for specific implementation of step S404, refer to step S204 in the previous embodiment, and details are not described in this embodiment.

The following describes a service transmission measurement method corresponding to the measurement parameters of the service transmission in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 including both the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal and the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device. FIG. 6 is a signaling interaction diagram 4 of a service transmission measurement method provided by an embodiment of this application; as shown in FIG. 6, the method of this embodiment may include:

Step S501: The first network device sends a measurement message to the second network device.

Step S502: The second network device measures the second parameter according to the measurement message to obtain a second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity.

Step S503: The second network device sends the second service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device.

Step S504: The second network device sends a request message to the first network device.

Step S505: The first network device sends a request message to the terminal.

Step S507: The terminal sends the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device.

Step S508: The first network device sends the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the second network device.

Step S509: The second network device sends the first service transmission measurement result of the first granularity to the first network device.

Steps S508 to S509 are optional.

Step S510: The second network device sends a mapping relationship to the first network device. The mapping relationship includes a mapping relationship between a QoS flow and a DRB and/or a mapping relationship between a DRB and a PDU session and/or a PDU session mapped to a QoS flow. The mapping relationship is used to Convert the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity into the service transmission measurement result of the second granularity. The first granularity service transmission measurement result includes the first granularity first service transmission measurement result and the second granularity first service transmission measurement result.

Step S511: The first network device converts the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity into the service transmission measurement result of the second granularity according to the mapping relationship.

For the specific implementation and beneficial effects of the above steps S501 to S511, refer to the relevant explanations in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, which will not be repeated here.

It should be understood that the size of the sequence numbers of the above processes does not mean that the execution order is sequential, nor does it mean that the steps corresponding to the sequence numbers of the above processes must be executed. The implementation process of the embodiments of the present application shall constitute any limitation.

The measurement method of service transmission that does not require the second network device to send the mapping relationship to the first network device will be described below with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

FIG. 7 is an interaction diagram 5 of a service transmission measurement method provided by an embodiment of this application. Referring to FIG. 7, the method in this embodiment includes:

Step S601: The first network device sends the reporting granularity to the second network device;

Specifically, in the dual connection scenario under the architecture shown in FIG. 1, when performing service transmission measurement, the first network device may send a measurement message to the second network device, and the measurement message is used to notify the second network device to perform service transmission measurement . Among them, the reporting granularity can be carried in the measurement message. The reporting granularity is the granularity of the service transmission measurement result measured by the first network device.

The measurement message may further include measurement granularity and/or measurement parameters and/or identification of the measurement object. The measured particle size and reported particle size may be the same or different. For measurement parameters and measurement objects, refer to the introduction in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, and details are not described in this embodiment.

Among them, the reporting granularity and measuring granularity are any one of DRB granularity, QoS flow granularity, PDU session granularity, QoS characteristic granularity, network slice granularity, and terminal granularity.

Step S602: The terminal sends the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the second network device.

Specifically, if the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement include the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal, the second network device sends a request message to the terminal. The request message is used to notify the terminal to measure the first parameter and obtain the reported granularity. The measurement result of the first service transmission. The first parameter may be at least one of uplink processing delay, downlink processing delay, and air interface delay. The request message includes reporting granularity. Further, if the measurement message includes the measurement object, the request message also includes the measurement object, if the measurement message does not include the measurement object, the request message may not include the measurement object; if the measurement parameter in the measurement message includes the first Parameters, the first parameter is also included in the request message; if the first parameter is not included in the measurement parameter in the measurement message, or the measurement parameter is not included in the measurement message, the first parameter may or may not be included in the request message; If the measurement message does not include the measurement granularity, the request message does not include the measurement granularity. If the measurement message includes the measurement granularity, the request message may or may not include the measurement granularity.

The terminal measures the first parameter according to the request message to obtain the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity.

Specifically, if the request message does not include the measurement object and the measurement granularity, after receiving the request message, the terminal measures the first parameter corresponding to the measurable object corresponding to the measurement granularity according to the preset measurement granularity according to the request message to obtain the first The measurement result of the parameter at the preset measurement granularity, if the preset measurement granularity is different from the reported granularity, the terminal converts the measurement result of the first parameter at the preset measurement granularity into the measurement result of the first parameter at the reported granularity, The measurement result of the first parameter at the reporting granularity is the first service transmission measurement result of the reporting granularity. The preset measurement granularity may be the DRB granularity.

If the request message includes the measurement object and the measurement granularity, after receiving the request message, the terminal measures the first parameter of the measurement object included in the measurement granularity measurement request message according to the request message to obtain the measurement result of the first parameter under the measurement granularity, If the measured particle size is different from the reported particle size, the terminal converts the measurement result of the first parameter at the measured particle size into the measured result of the first parameter at the reported particle size. A service transmission measurement result.

After obtaining the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity, the terminal sends it to the second network device.

Step S603: The second network device sends the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the first network device; the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity includes the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity and/or the second service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity ; The reporting granularity of the second service transmission measurement result is obtained after the second network device performs the service transmission measurement.

In one manner, the second network device sending the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the first network device includes: the second network device sends the correspondence between the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity and the measurement object to the first network device.

After receiving the measurement message from the first network device, the second network device may send a feedback response to the measurement message to the first network device. For the feedback response, refer to the introduction in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. Repeat.

If the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement includes the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, after receiving the measurement message, the second network device measures the second parameter according to the measurement message to obtain a second service transmission measurement result with a reported granularity.

Specifically, if the measurement message does not include the measurement object and does not include the measurement granularity, the second network device measures the second parameter of the measurable object corresponding to the measurement granularity according to the preset measurement granularity, to obtain the second preset measurement granularity For the service transmission measurement result, if the preset measurement granularity is different from the reported granularity, the second service transmission measurement result of the preset measurement granularity is converted into a second service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity. For example, if the second network device presets the measurement granularity to be DRB granularity, and the measurement message does not include the measurement object, then the measurement object is each DRB that can be measured corresponding to the terminal.

If the measurement message includes the measurement object and includes the measurement granularity, the second network device measures the second parameter of the object that can be measured in the measurement message according to the measurement granularity, and obtains the second service transmission measurement result of the measurement granularity, if the measurement granularity and the report If the granularities are not the same, the second service transmission measurement result measuring the granularity is converted into the second service transmission measurement result reporting the granularity.

After obtaining the second service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity, the second network device sends the second service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the network device; if the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity is received from the terminal, the second network device also The first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity is sent to the first network device.

The measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement includes the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, and the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity includes the second service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity, if the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement includes the terminal measurement , The service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity includes the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity.

In addition, the description in step S602 is based on the report granularity included in the request message, so that the terminal can definitely send the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the second network device. In one way, the request message may not carry the reporting granularity and the measuring granularity, the terminal obtains the first service transmission result of the preset measurement granularity, and sends the first service transmission result of the preset measurement granularity to the second network device; if The preset measurement granularity is not the same as the reported granularity, and the second network device converts the preset service granularity measurement result of the first service transmission into the report granularity first service transmission result.

Further, if the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity is sent by the second network device to the first network device through the user plane, the second network device needs to know the general packet radio service used to send the service transmission measurement result of the first granularity Tunneling protocol (General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol, GTP for short) channel address. The GTP channel address used to send the first granularity service transmission measurement result may be carried in the measurement message.

The GTP channel address used to send the first granularity service transmission measurement result may not be carried in the measurement message. After the second network device sends the feedback response of the measurement message, the first network device learns the actual measurement object and Each actually measured measurement object establishes a GTP channel address, obtains the GTP channel address used to send the first granularity second service transmission measurement result, and then sends it to the second network device.

In this embodiment, by sending the granularity of the measurement result of the service transmission data that the first network device or other devices want to present to the second network device, the granularity of the measurement result reported by the second network device can satisfy the first network device or other The requirements of the service transmission measurement result that the device wants to present.

FIG. 8 is an interaction diagram 6 of a service transmission measurement method provided by an embodiment of this application. Referring to FIG. 8, the method in this embodiment includes:

Step S701: The first network device sends the reporting granularity to the second network device;

Specifically, the first network device sends a measurement message to the second network device, and the measurement message includes the reporting granularity. For other specific implementations, refer to step S601 in the previous embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

Step S702: The first network device sends the reporting granularity to the terminal;

Specifically, if the measurement parameter includes the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal, in the first solution, refer to the explanation in step S602, but unlike the above step S602, in step S702, the second network device sends a request message to the first A network device, the first network device sends the request message to the terminal, and the reporting granularity is carried in the request message; the rest are the same as step S602.

If the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement include the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal, in the second solution, the first network device directly sends the first measurement message to the terminal, and the first measurement message includes the reporting granularity. The first measurement message here is used to notify the terminal to perform service transmission measurement and obtain the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity.

Step S703: The terminal sends the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the first network device; wherein, the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity is obtained after the terminal performs the service transmission measurement.

Specifically, after receiving the request message or the first measurement message, the terminal performs service transmission measurement according to the request message or the first measurement message, and obtains a first service transmission measurement result with a reported granularity.

The terminal sending the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the first network device includes: the terminal sending the correspondence between the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity and the measurement object to the first network device.

If there is no first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal in the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement, step S702 and step S703 can be skipped, that is, step S702 and step S703 are optional.

Step S704: The second network device sends the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the first network device. The service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity includes the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity and/or the second service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity . The measurement result of the second service transmission with the reported granularity is obtained after the second network device performs the service transmission measurement.

Specifically, the second network device sending the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the first network device includes: the second network device sends the correspondence between the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity and the measurement object to the first network device.

If the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement include the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, the second network device performs the service transmission measurement according to the measurement message, and obtains the second service transmission measurement result with the reported granularity. The second network device performs service transmission measurement according to the measurement message, and the process of obtaining the second service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity refers to the description of step S603 in the previous embodiment, and details are not described here.

If step S702 exists and step S702 is implemented according to the first solution, after the terminal sends the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the first network device in step S703, the method may further include: the first network device sends the first reported granularity The service transmission measurement result is transmitted to the second network device, and the second network device first service transmits the measurement result to the first network device. At this time, if there is a second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device among the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement, The service transmission measurement result of the reporting granularity sent by the second network device includes the first service transmission measurement result of the reporting granularity and the second service transmission measurement result of the reporting granularity. If there is no measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement, the second network is required. For the second parameter measured by the device, the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity sent by the second network device includes the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity.

If step S702 exists and step S702 is implemented according to the first solution, after step S703, the terminal sends the first service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity to the first network device, the first network device does not send the first service transmission measurement of the reported granularity The result is to the second network device. At this time, if there is a second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device among the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement, the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity sent by the second network device includes the third In the second service transmission measurement result, if there is no second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device among the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement, step S704 does not exist.

If step S702 exists and step S702 is implemented according to the second solution, at this time, if there is a second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device among the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement, the service transmission of the reported granularity sent by the second network device The measurement result includes the second service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity. If there is no second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device among the measurement parameters in the service transmission measurement, there is no step S701 and step S704.

If step S702 does not exist, the measurement parameter in the service transmission measurement includes the second parameter that needs to be measured by the second network device, and does not include the first parameter that needs to be measured by the terminal, the service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity sent by the second network device Including the second service transmission measurement result of the reported granularity.

It can be understood that if step S704 does not exist, the first network device may not send the GTP channel address of the service transmission measurement result reporting the granularity to the second network device.

If the terminals in an idle state cannot reside in certain cells under a certain communication standard, and therefore MDT measurements cannot be recorded in these cells, the coverage of these cells under this communication standard cannot be known; for example, for dual Connected (that is, a terminal can be connected to two base stations of two communication standards at the same time, such as a 4G base station and a 5G base station, where one base station is the primary base station and the other base station is the secondary base station). For terminals in idle state, this dual-mode dual link becomes a non-standalone (NSA) scenario. At this time, the terminal corresponding to the secondary station cannot record MDT measurements on the cells in the coverage area of the secondary station, and thus cannot Learn the coverage of the cell under the corresponding communication standard of the secondary station. In view of the above problems, this embodiment proposes a method for recording MDT measurement. FIG. 9 is a signaling interaction diagram 1 of an MDT measurement method provided by an embodiment of this application. Referring to FIG. 9, the method in this embodiment includes:

Step S801: The first network device sends MDT measurement configuration information to the terminal; the first network device is a network device under the first communication standard.

Specifically, the first network device in this embodiment may be a network device that has established an RRC connection with the terminal under the first communication standard. The MDT measurement in this embodiment may be recorded MDT measurement, and the subsequent MDT measurements are all recorded MDT measurements. It should be noted that the establishment of an RRC connection between the terminal and the network device refers to the establishment of an RRC connection between the terminal and a cell under the network device.

In this embodiment, the cell under the first communication standard is called the second cell, and the cell under the second communication standard is called the first cell, and the terminal in the idle state cannot be camped in the first cell.

The MDT measurement configuration information includes the MDT measurement period and the duration of the MDT measurement. Optionally, the MDT measurement configuration information includes the MDT measurement period and MDT measurement duration for MDT measurement on the first cell, and the MDT measurement period and MDT measurement duration for the first cell. The MDT measurement configuration information is used to instruct the terminal to perform MDT measurement on the first cell when entering the idle state.

Among them, since the first cell under the second communication standard is not continuous coverage, there is no need to perform MDT measurement on the first cell all the time. In order to reduce power consumption, the first cell can only be used in some second cells under the first communication standard. A cell performs MDT measurement. Therefore, the MDT measurement configuration information may include the second cells in which the MDT measurement is performed on the first cell. These second cells may be referred to as target cells, that is, the MDT measurement configuration information may also include: the target cell The information of the target cell includes: the identification of the target cell, or the identification of the public land mobile network (PLMN) to which the target cell belongs, or the tracking area (TA) to which the target cell belongs , Or the frequency of the target cell.

The MDT measurement configuration information may include which first cells are subjected to MDT measurement, that is, the MDT measurement configuration information may also include information of the first cell, and the information of the first cell includes: the identity of the first cell, or, the first cell belongs to The identity of the PLMN, or the identity of the TA to which the first cell belongs, or the frequency of the first cell.

The MDT measurement configuration information may further include the maximum number of first cells that perform MDT measurement.

Step S802. The terminal performs MDT measurement on the first cell under the second communication standard according to the MDT measurement configuration information to obtain an MDT measurement result. The first cell is a cell that cannot camp on the terminal in the idle state. The communication system is different.

Specifically, when the MDT measurement in this embodiment is to record the MDT measurement, when the terminal enters the idle state, the terminal performs MDT measurement on the first cell covered by the second network device according to the MDT measurement configuration information to obtain the MDT measurement result.

If the MDT measurement configuration information includes the message of the first cell, the terminal performs MDT measurement on the first cell under the second communication standard according to the MDT measurement configuration information to obtain the MDT measurement result, including:

The terminal performs MDT measurement on the first cell indicated by the message of the first cell under the second communication standard according to the MDT measurement configuration information, to obtain an MDT measurement result.

If the MDT measurement configuration information includes the maximum number of first cells that perform MDT measurement, the terminal performs MDT measurement on the first cell under the second communication standard according to the MDT measurement configuration information to obtain MDT measurement results, including:

According to the MDT measurement configuration information, the terminal performs MDT measurement on the first number of the first cell under the second communication standard to obtain the MDT measurement result. The first quantity is less than or equal to the above-mentioned maximum quantity.

If the message of the target cell is included in the MDT measurement configuration information, the terminal performs MDT measurement on the first cell under the second communication standard according to the MDT measurement configuration information to obtain the MDT measurement result, including:

If the terminal is in the idle state and the terminal is located in the target cell, the terminal performs MDT measurement on the first cell under the second communication standard according to the MDT measurement configuration information to obtain the MDT measurement result. The target cell is the second cell indicated by the message of the target cell in the MDT measurement configuration information. Optionally, the terminal is located in the target cell may also refer to the terminal camping in the target cell.

In one solution, in order to reduce the number of MDT measurement results recorded by the terminal, when the terminal performs MDT measurement at a certain location, the first MDT measurement result and the second MDT measurement result are only recorded if the first MDT measurement result can be obtained If the first MDT measurement result cannot be obtained and the second MDT measurement result can be obtained, the second MDT measurement result is not recorded.

Step S803: The terminal sends the MDT measurement result to the second network device under the first communication standard; the MDT measurement result is the MDT measurement result of the first cell under the second communication standard obtained in step S802.

Specifically, the second network device and the first network device may be the same or different.

Because the terminal is in the idle state when performing the recording MDT measurement. Therefore, to send the MDT measurement result to the second network device under the first communication standard, it is necessary to establish an RRC connection with the second network device first. . In other words, after the terminal changes from the idle state to the connected state, to which network device in the first communication mode the RRC connection is established with the terminal, the terminal sends the MDT measurement result of the first cell in the second communication mode to which Network equipment under the first communication standard.

The terminal may send the MDT measurement result of the first cell under the second communication standard and the MDT measurement result of the second cell under the first communication standard as a group to the second network device.

In the dual connectivity scenario, if the terminal also sends the MDT measurement result of the second cell to the second network device, the coverage area of the NSA can be evaluated.

In addition, if the terminal switches or reselects from the second cell under the first communication standard to the third cell covered by the third network device under the second communication standard, the cell covered by the third network device here can reside in the idle state Terminal, the terminal may also send the MDT measurement result of the first cell under the second communication standard to the third network device.

Specifically, when the RRC connection is established between the terminal and the second network device, the RRC connection complete (RRC Connection Setup) message carries the indication information. After receiving the request message, the terminal sends the MDT measurement result of the first cell under the second communication standard to the third network device; in addition, the terminal may also send the MDT measurement result of the second cell to the third network device. The terminal may send the MDT measurement result of the first cell and the MDT measurement result of the second cell measured at the same location to the third network device as a group.
