Description

用于体验质量测量结果发送的通信方法及装置
本申请要求于2020年04月23日提交中国知识产权局、申请号为202010327139.2、申请名称为“用于体验质量测量结果发送的通信方法及装置”的中国专利申请的优先权，其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种用于体验质量测量结果发送的通信方法及装置。
背景技术
在无线网络中，一个终端设备可能和多个基站通信，即双连接(Dual-connectivity，DC)，或多连接(Multi-connectivity，MC)。在新协议中，双连接也称为多无线双连接(Multi-radio Dual Connectivity，MR-DC)。网络侧可以利用多个基站的资源为该终端设备提供通信服务，从而为终端设备提供高速率传输。DC中与核心网有控制面信令交互的基站称为主节点(Master Node,MN)，其他基站称为辅节点(Secondary Node,SN)。DC中数据无线承载(Data Radio Bearer,DRB)分为主小区组承载(Master Cell group Bearer,MCG Bearer)、辅小区组承载(Secondary Cell group,SCG Bearer)、分裂承载(Split Bearer)。其中MCG Bearer是该DRB的无线链路控制(Radio Link Control,RLC)或介质访问控制(Medium Access Control,MAC)实体只在主基站上，SCG bearer是指该DRB的RLC/MAC实体只在辅基站上，Split bearer是指该DRB的RLC/MAC实体在主基站和辅基站上都有(即该DRB在主基站和辅基站都具有RLC/MAC实体)。对于包数据汇聚协议(Packet Data Convergence Protocol,PDCP)终结在MN上的承载，称为MN terminated承载，即下行(Downlink,DL)数据从核心网直接到达MN，经由MN的服务数据适配层(Service Data Adaptation Protocol,SDAP)/PDCP处理后再经过RLC/MAC发送给终端设备(注：目前只有当终端设备连接到采用服务质量流架构的5G核心网时，才会有SDAP层)，上行(Uplink,UL)数据从MN的SDAP/PDCP处理后发送给核心网。类似的，对于PDCP终结在SN上的承载，称为SN terminated承载，即DL数据从核心网直接到达SN，经由SN的SDAP/PDCP处理后再经过RLC/MAC发送给终端设备，UL数据从SN的SDAP/PDCP处理后发送给核心网。另外，双连接中，MN和SN都具有无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)实体，都可以产生RRC消息。并且SN可以直接把辅基站产生的RRC消息发给终端设备，也可以把SN产生的RRC消息通知MN，MN再发送给终端设备。
最小化路测技术(Minimization of Drive-Tests,MDT)基本思想是运营商通过签约用户的商用终端进行测量发送来部分替代传统的路测工作，实现自动收集终端测量数据，以检测和优化无线网络中的问题和故障。对于一些业务而言，比如流媒体服务(streaming service)，IP多媒体系统的多媒体电话(Multimedia Telephony Service for IMS，MTSI)服务，运营商想知道用户的体验是如何，从而更好的优化网络以提高用户的体验。因此提出了体验质量(Quality of Experience,QoE)测量收集，也可称为应用层测量收集。在现有技术中缺乏对MR-DC场景下网络侧如何为终端设备配置QoE测量，以及终端设备如何发送QoE测量结 果的相关研究。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种用于体验质量测量结果发送的通信方法及装置，以解决在双连接场景下终端设备发送体验质量测量结果的问题。
第一方面，提供了一种通信方法，该方法可以由终端设备实现，也可以由可配置于终端设备的部件(例如芯片或者电路)。该方法可以包括：
根据体验质量QoE测量配置获取对应的QoE测量结果，所述QoE测量结果包括对应辅基站辅接入网设备的QoE测量结果；
通过第一无线承载发送所述QoE测量结果，所述第一无线承载是主基站主接入网设备或所述辅基站辅接入网设备为所述终端设备配置的无线承载。
在本申请实施例中，通过主接入网设备为终端设备配置第一无线承载，或者通过主接入网设备配置无线承载中的第一逻辑信道，用于终端发送QoE测量结果，这样使得在双连接或多连接场景中，终端可以通过主接入网设备配置的无线承载或逻辑信道发送QoE测量结果，增强双连接或多连接场景中主接入网设备对辅接入网设备QoE测量过程的信息交互的实时性；或者也可以通过辅接入网设备配置无线承载中的第一逻辑信道用于终端发送QoE测量结果，可以提升辅接入网设备QoE测量过程的独立性。

所述第一无线承载是所述主接入网设备配置的用于所述终端设备发送所述QoE测量结果的无线承载。
在本申请实施例中，通过主接入网设备为终端设备配置无线承载用于发送QoE测量结果，可以减少通过发送QoE测量结果过程中，对其他信令或数据传输可能造成的影响。另外，主接入网设备可以为不同的无线承载设置不同的逻辑信道优先级，从而终端设备在获得上行传输的授权时，可以根据不同无线承载设置的优先级来优先传输不同无线承载中的信令或数据。
在一种可能的设计中，所述第一无线承载中包括多个逻辑信道；
所述通过第一无线承载发送QoE测量结果包括：

在一种可能的设计中，所述对应辅接入网设备的QoE测量结果包括：所述辅接入网设备为终端设备配置的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果；或所述辅接入网设备触发所述主接入网设备配置的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果。

在本申请实施例中，通过主接入网设备向终端设备发送指示信息，或者通过辅接入网设备向终端设备发送指示信息，以指示第一无线承载或第一无线承载中的第一逻辑信息用于发送QoE测量结果，可以避免当同一个主接入网设备或辅接入网设备为一个终端设备配置了多个无线承载用于发送不同对象，例如不同网络侧，或者不同业务类型对应的QoE测量结果时，可能产生的信道混淆问题。通过向终端设备发送指示信息，从而终端设备知道应该在哪一个无线承载或逻辑信道中发送QoE测量结果。
在一种可能的设计中，所述对应辅接入网设备的QoE测量结果为目标业务类型对应的测量结果，所述目标业务类型为所述主接入网设备确定。
在本申请实施例中，通过主接入网设备确定辅接入网设备能够进行QoE测量的目标业务类型，可以使得主接入网设备和辅接入网设备协商进行QoE测量的配置，而不会造成重复对同类型业务进行配置，提升了配置效率，同时避免了主接入网设备或辅接入网设备配置的QoE测量配置覆盖辅接入网设备或主接入网设备配置的QoE测量配置。

2)接入网设备110，是指将终端接入到无线网络的无线接入网(Radio Access Network，RAN)节点(或设备)，又可以称为基站。目前，一些RAN节点的举例为：继续演进的节点B(gNB)、传输接收点(Hransmission Reception Point，TRP)、演进型节点B(Evolved Node B，eNB)、无线网络控制器(Radio Network Controller，RNC)、节点B(Node B，NB)、基站控制器(Base Station Controller，BSC)、基站收发台(Base Transceiver Station，BTS)、家庭基站(例如，Home Evolved NodeB，或Home Node B，HNB)、基带模块(Base Band Unit，BBU)，或无线保真(Wireless Fidelity，Wifi)接入点(Access Point，AP)等。另外，在一种网络结构中，接入网设备可以包括集中模块(Centralized Unit，CU)节点、或分布模块(Distributed Unit，DU)节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备。其中包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备将RAN设备的协议层拆分开，部分协议层的功能放在CU集中控制，剩下部分或全部协议层的功能分布在DU中，由CU集中控制DU。CU和DU是对接入网设备从逻辑功能角度的划分。CU和DU在物理上可以是分离的也可以部署在一起。CU和DU可以根据无线网络的协议层划分，例如其中一种可能的划分方式是：CU用于执行无线资源控制RRC层、业务数据适配协议SDAP层以及分组数据汇聚层协议PDCP层的功能，而DU用于执行无线链路控制RLC层、媒体接入控制MAC层以及物理层等的功能。可以理解，上述划分仅仅是一种举例，CU和DU也可以按照其他的方式进行划分。例如可以将CU或者DU划分为具有更多协议层的功能。例如，CU或DU还可以划分为具有协议 层的部分处理功能。在一种可能的实现方式中，将RLC层的部分功能和RLC层以上的协议层的功能设置在CU，将RLC层的剩余功能和RLC层以下的协议层的功能设置在DU。在另一种可能的实现方式中，还可以按照业务类型或者其他系统需求对CU或者DU的功能进行划分。例如按时延划分，将处理时间需要满足时延要求的功能设置在DU，不需要满足该时延要求的功能设置在CU。在又一种可能的实现方式中，CU也可以具有核心网的一个或多个功能。一个或者多个CU可以集中设置，也分离设置。例如CU可以设置在网络侧方便集中管理。DU可以具有多个射频功能，也可以将射频功能拉远设置。应理解，CU和DU的功能可以在具体实现中可以根据需要设置，本申请实施例对此不作任何限定。CU的功能可以由一个实体来实现也可以由不同的实体实现。在一种方式中，CU的功能可以进一步切分为控制面(Control Plane,CP)功能和用户面(User Plane,UP)功能，即，CU可以分为CU-UP和CU-CP。CU-CP和CU-UP可以由不同的功能实体来实现，可以由同一功能实体来实现。CU-CP和CU-UP可以与DU相耦合，共同完成接入网设备的功能。一种可能的方式中，CU-CP负责控制面功能，主要包含RRC和PDCP-C。PDCP-C主要负责控制面数据的加解密、完整性保护以及数据传输等。CU-UP负责用户面功能，主要包含SDAP和PDCP-U。其中SDAP主要负责将核心网设备的数据进行处理并将数据流(flow)映射到承载。PDCP-U主要负责数据面的加解密、完整性保护、头压缩、序列号维护以及数据传输等。还有一种可能的实现是PDCP-C也在CU-UP。请参阅图1B，图1B为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的示意图，可应用于本申请实施例提供的通信方法，如图1B所示，该系统包括核心网设备、CU和DU，CU可以分为CU-UP和CU-CP。核心网设备和CU(如CU-UP和/或CU-CP)之间可以进行通信，例如，CU-CP可以代表接入网设备通过Ng接口和核心网设备连接。CU-UP和CU-CP之间可以进行通信，例如，可以通过E1接口通信。CU-UP和CU-CP与DU之间可以进行通信，例如，CU-CP可以通过F1-C(控制面)和DU连接，CU-UP通过F1-U(用户面)和DU连接。多个DU可以共用一个CU，一个DU也可以连接多个CU(图中未示出)。CU和DU之间可以通过接口相连，例如可以是F1接口。
3)核心网设备100，是指为终端提供业务支持的核心网(Core Network，CN)中的设备。目前，一些核心网设备的举例为：接入和移动性管理功能(Access and Mobility Management Function，AMF)实体、会话管理功能(Session Management Function，SMF)实体、用户面功能(User Plane Function，UPF)实体等等，此处不一一列举。其中，所述AMF实体可以负责终端的接入管理和移动性管理；所述SMF实体可以负责会话管理，如用户的会话建立等；所述UPF实体可以是用户面的功能实体，主要负责连接外部网络。需要说明的是，本申请中实体也可以称为网元或功能实体，例如，AMF实体也可以称为AMF网元或AMF功能实体，又例如，SMF实体也可以称为SMF网元或SMF功能实体等。
在终端设备(本申请实施例中通过UE来描述)与多个RAN进行通信，即双连接或多无线双连接时，主接入网设备与核心网有控制面信令交互，本申请实施例通过主节点MN描述，其他辅接入网设备通过辅节点SN描述。请参阅图1C，图1C为本申请实施例提供的一种DC连接示意图，如图1C所示，MN和SN通过控制面板接口Xn-C连接，MN和SN与UE都通过Uu接口连接，MN与核心网通过NG-C控制面板接口连接。MN和SN都具有RRC实体，都可以产生RRC消息，UE的RRC状态是以MN的为主。对于下行，SN 可以直接把SN产生的RRC消息发给UE。也可以把SN产生的RRC消息通知MN，MN再发送给UE(MN在给UE的MN的RRC消息中封装SN产生的RRC消息)。对于上行，UE也可以直接把需要发送给SN的RRC消息直接发送给UE，UE也可以把给SN的RRC消息通过MN转给SN，即UE把这些RRC消息发给MN(在给MN的RRC消息中封装给SN的RRC消息)，MN再把SN的RRC消息转给SN。MR-DC包括各种DC，比如EN-DC，NGEN-DC，NE-DC，NR-DC。
EN-DC中主接入网设备为连接到4G核心网EPC的LTE基站eNB，辅接入网设备为NR基站；
NGEN-DC中主接入网设备为连接到5G核心网5GC的LTE基站ng-eNB,辅接入网设备为NR基站；
NE-DC中主接入网设备为连接到5G核心网5GC的NR基站,辅接入网设备为LTE基站；
NR-DC中主接入网设备为连接到5G核心网5GC的NR基站,辅接入网设备为NR基站；
对于一个MR-DC的UE而言，辅接入网设备的用户面可能和主接入网设备连接的核心网有连接(即核心网可以直接通过辅接入网设备给UE发送数据)。
可以理解的是，本申请实施例中的双连接也可以称为双链接，多连接也可以称为多链接。
最小化路测技术(Minimization of Drive-Tests,MDT)的基本思想是运营商通过签约用户的商用终端进行测量并上报测量结果来部分替代传统的路测工作，实现自动收集终端测量数据，以检测和优化无线网络中的问题和故障。该技术的应用场景：运营商一般每一个月都要做例行的网络覆盖路测，针对用户投诉也会做一些针对特定区域的进行呼叫质量路测，这些场景的路测都可以用MDT代替。现有的MDT技术收集的测量类型可分为以下几种：
1、信号水平测量：由UE测量无线信号的信号水平，将测量结果发送给基站或基站控制器；
2、服务质量(Quality of Service,Qos)测量：通常由基站执行Qos测量(比如：业务的流量、业务的吞吐量，业务时延等)，也可以由UE测量，比如上行处理时延，也可以是基站和UE联合处理，比如空口时延测量(测量数据包经过基站的SDAP/PDCP层到该数据包达到UE的SDAP/PDCP层的时间)；
3、可接入性测量：由UE记录无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control，RRC)连接建立失败的信息，并发送给基站或基站控制器。
MDT包括记录MDT(logged MDT)(或称为日志MDT)和立即MDT(immediate MDT)。Immediate MDT主要针对处于RRC连接态(RRC_CONNECTED)的UE进行的测量收集，而logged MDT主要针对处于空闲态(RRC_IDLE)的UE或RRC非激活态(RRC_INACTIVE)的UE进行的测量收集(比如：空闲态的UE或非激活态的UE对当前驻留的小区对应的频点的小区及当前驻留的小区中广播的小区重选对应的异频/异系统相邻小区进行测量，UE记录并发送这些测量结果给基站)。Immediate MDT一般用于测量UE的数据量、IP吞吐率、 包传输时延、丢包率、处理时延等。而logged MDT一般指UE对接收信号强度的测量。
无线中还定义了一些层2测量用于网络侧统计一些网络性能，以便进行无线链路管理、无线资源管理、网络维护等功能。其中一些层2测量是针对一个UE进行统计的，比如业务的吞吐量、业务的流量、UE的处理时延、UE的空口时延等。
在两种场景下，接入网设备会发起MDT测量收集任务。一种是发起基于信令的MDT(signalling based MDT)，一种是发起基于管理的MDT(management based MDT)。基于信令的MDT是指针对某特定UE的MDT，接入网设备从核心网(core network,CN)收到对某个UE进行MDT的消息。基于管理的MDT并不是针对特定UE的MDT，接入网设备是从操作维护管理(Operation Administration and Maintenance,OAM)或元素管理(element manager,EM)收到进行MDT的消息。对于基于管理的MDT而言，接入网设备基于一定策略从该接入网设备下的UE中选择UE进行MDT测量收集。对于基于信令的MDT而言，除非用户已经同意进行MDT，否则CN并不会发起针对该UE的信令MDT。对于基于管理的MDT而言，接入网设备在选择UE时，可以考虑UE是否同意进行MDT，比如只选择那些已经同意进行MDT的UE进行MDT测量收集。
对于一些流类业务或者语音业务而言，比如流媒体服务(streaming service)，IP多媒体系统的多媒体电话(Multimedia Telephony Service for IMS,MTSI)服务,单纯的信号质量并不能体现用户在使用这些业务时的用户体验，运营商想知道用户的体验是如何，从而更好的优化网络以提高用户的体验。这类测量收集称为体验质量(Quality of Experience,QoE)测量收集，也可称为应用层测量收集。这类测量收集也利用基于信令的MDT和/或基于管理的MDT进行发起。接入网设备从CN、OAM或EM收到这些测量的配置信息(比如这些配置信息是以一种透明的容器的方式发给接入网设备)，然后，请参阅图1D，图1D为本申请实施例提供的一种MDT测量过程示意图，如图1D所示，接入网设备把这些配置发送给UE(例如通过RRC消息)。UE收到应用层的测量结果之后(例如UE的RRC层从UE的上层(包括应用层，或者RRC层与应用层之间的中间层等)收到应用层的测量结果)，把这些测量结果发送给接入网设备(比如这些测量结果是以一种透明容器的封装形式给接入网设备)。接入网设备从CN或OAM接收的信息除了以上的测量的配置信息之后，还可能包括QoE测量的其他信息(比如QoE测量的区域范围，QoE测量的业务类型)等。接入网设备选择UE进行QoE测量的方法基本同普通的MDT测量。
另外，在无线网络通信系统中，存在一种特殊的无线承载(Radio Bearers,RB)——信令无线承载(Signalling Radio Bearers,SRB)，用来传输RRC和非接入层(Non-Access Stratum,NAS)消息。SRB包括SRB0，SRB1，SRB2、SRB3和SRB4，其中SRB0对应于公共控制信道(Common Control Channel,CCCH)，用于传输RRC消息；SRB1对应于专用控制信道(Dedicated Control Channel,DCCH)，用于传输RRC消息(RRC消息中可能携带NAS消息)；SRB2对应于DCCH，用于传输NAS消息。SRB2的传输优先级比SRB1的传输优先级更低；在(NG)EN-DC或NR-DC中，SRB3对应DCCH，可通过SRB3传输特定的RRC消息；SRB3用于辅接入网设备与UE之间直接传输RRC消息。SRB4对应DCCH，用于传输包括应用层的测量结果(即QoE测量结果)的RRC消息。
现有技术中，终端设备获取到QoE测量结果后，通过SRB4把QoE测量结果发送给接 入网设备。但是并没有涉及在MR-DC场景中，辅接入网设备如何为终端设备触发或配置QoE测量，以及终端设备如何发送对应的测量结果。
本申请实施例提出了解决上述问题的方法。请参阅图2A，图2A为本申请实施例提供的一种通信方法流程图，如图2A所示，该方法包括如下步骤：
101、终端设备根据体验质量QoE测量配置获取对应的QoE测量结果，所述QoE测量结果包括对应辅接入网设备的QoE测量结果；
102、主接入网设备配置用于接收QoE测量结果的第一无线承载；
103、终端设备通过第一无线承载发送所述QoE测量结果。
在本申请实施例中，将主接入网设备、辅接入网设备和终端设备实例化为MN、SN和UE进行描述。
QoE是指用户对网络和业务的QoS的体验。QoS侧重于对时延、抖动、丢包率这些网络层参数的改善，但是这些指标的改善对于用户体验来说，是有一定差异性的。例如，当视频出现马赛克现象，在QoS指标上并没有显著反应，但是对于用户来说具有较大的感知体验。因此，网络中的QoE测量是十分重要的，它可以以QoS为基础，另一方面，对于不同的业务，例如时延敏感业务，丢包率敏感业务，也会配置不同的QoE测量。QoE测量配置具体的内容可以具有各种形式，本申请并不限定。比如对于流媒体业务而言，QoE测量配置中可以包括如下至少一项：发送QoE测量结果的接入点、QoE测量结果发送的格式、QoE测量结果发送的间隔等，例如可以参考第三代合伙项目(3 rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)协议26.247中10.5章节的描述。QoE测量配置可以通过可扩展标记语言(Extensible Markup Language,XML)格式进行配置。QoE测量结果包括应用层的测量结果。QoE测量结果具体的内容可以具有各种形式，本申请并不限定。比如对于流媒体业务而言，QoE测量结果中可以包括如下至少一项:播放切换事件、平均吞吐量、初始播放时延、缓冲级别、播放列表、媒体描述信息、媒体启动播放时延、设备信息等，例如可以参考3GPP协议26.247中10.2章节的描述。比如对于IP多媒体系统的多媒体电话而言，QoE测量结果中可以包括如下至少一项:质量恶化的时间长度、实时传输协议(Real-time Transport Protocol,RTP)包的连续丢包数目、帧率、抖动持续时间、失步持续时间、来返时间、平均编码率、编解码器信息等，例如可以参考协议26.114中16.2章节的描述。可以理解的是，QoE测量结果的表示形式可以是多样的，例如可以通过XML格式进行表示。
可选的，对应SN的QoE测量结果表示：SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果；或者由SN触发MN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果。可以将SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置，或者由SN触发MN为UE配置的QoE测量配置称为第一QoE测量配置。该第一QoE测量配置可以直接由SN发送给UE；也可以由MN从SN获取该第一QoE测量配置，然后由MN发送给UE；也可以由SN向MN发送请求，以获取QoE测量结果或请求QoE测量，触发MN为UE配置QoE测量配置，然后由MN为UE配置第一QoE测量配置并由MN发送给UE。
其中，配置的QoE测量配置可以理解为生成或产生的QoE测量配置。
可选的，UE获取第一QoE测量配置的同时，还可以获取标识信息，该标识信息用于标识第一QoE测量配置是由SN为UE配置的，或者由SN触发MN为UE配置的。该标识 信息可以包含在第一QoE测量配置中，也可能由MN通过其他的信元或者信令发送给UE。
可选的，如果UE没有获知第一QoE测量配置是由MN还是SN配置的，而只有MN和SN互相获知该第一QoE测量配置是为SN配置的，MN将接收到的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果发转发给SN。
可选的，对应SN的QoE测量结果还可以表示由SN接收的QoE测量结果。例如针对特定类型的业务或特定时间段的业务等，由MN为UE配置QoE测量配置，但是在UE根据QoE测量配置获得QoE测量结果之后，UE根据MN指定的接收对象(SN)对QoE测量结果进行发送，指定接收对象的信息可以由MN提前发送给UE，也可以通过QoE测量配置一起发送给UE。
基于信令的QoE测量或者基于管理的QoE测量，都可以触发SN选择UE进行QoE测量。
对于基于信令的QoE测量而言，核心网给MN下发QoE测量配置时，可以指示该测量配置是MN对应的QoE测量配置，还是SN对应的QoE测量配置。也可以同时携带两套配置，一套是MN对应的QoE配置，一套是SN对应的QoE配置。MN会把SN对应的QoE配置转发给SN。之后MN和SN再分别产生下发给UE的QoE测量配置。比如核心网给接入网设备下发QoE测量配置时，会携带一套或两套QoE测量配置，并指示该QoE测量配置对应E-UTRA的QoE测量配置还是对应NR的QoE测量配置(比如这两个QoE测量配置放在的位置不同或信息元素名称不同或者有一个显式的指示对应的QoE测量配置是E-UTRA的QoE测量配置还是NR的QoE测量配置)。
对于基于管理的QoE而言，MN和SN的OAM或EM会分别给MN和SN下发对应的QoE配置。之后MN和SN再分别选择对应的UE进行QoE测量配置。
在终端设备根据QoE测量配置获取对应的QoE测量结果之前，还可以包括UE获取QoE测量配置(即上述第一QoE测量配置)的过程。可选的，UE获取QoE测量配置的过程，根据上述描述，本申请实施例的方法还可以如图2A中所示，包括步骤104、UE从SN获取由SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置。可选的，还可以包括步骤105、SN向MN发送第一消息，以便触发MN为UE配置第一无线承载。可选的，第一消息的形式可以有各种形式，比如，第一消息可能是指示SN为UE配置了QoE测量或后续会配置QoE测量，或者是SN请求MN为UE配置第一无线承载，本申请不作限制。可选的，本申请实施例并不限定步骤104和105之间的先后关系。
可选的，UE获取QoE测量配置的过程也可以为：MN从SN获取SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置，再由MN将SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置下发给UE。
MN从SN获取SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置，例如可以包括以下两种方式：
其一为：SN将产生的QoE测量配置发送给MN，MN再把SN产生的QoE测量配置发送给UE。比如SN给MN发送的消息中携带SN产生的RRC消息，RRC消息中携带SN给UE的QoE测量配置。MN再在给UE的RRC重配消息中携带SN产生的RRC消息。这个过程中，SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对于MN来说是透明的。
其二为：SN向MN发送第二信息，其中第二信息中携带SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置。第二信息不是以SN产生的RRC消息携带，而是SN显式地通知MN。MN根据第二 信息生成RRC消息，该RRC消息包括SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置。MN发送该RRC消息给UE。这个过程中，MN可获知SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置。
可选的，UE获取QoE测量配置的过程也可以为：SN向MN发送第一请求信息，请求MN为UE配置QoE测量配置(即由SN触发MN为UE配置的QoE测量配置)。MN收到第一请求信息之后，MN为UE配置QoE测量(即生成QoE测量配置并下发给UE)，该生成的QoE测量配置包括为获取对应SN的QoE测量结果的QoE测量配置。可选的，该第一请求信息中还包括SN请求MN为UE配置QoE测量对应的业务类型。
UE接收到QoE测量配置后，进行对应的测量收集，获得QoE测量结果，并将QoE测量结果发送给网络侧。
一种可能的实现方式中，UE进行QoE测量结果发送的第一无线承载是由MN为UE配置的无线承载。
可以理解的是，本申请实施例中由MN为UE配置的无线承载是MN与UE之间的无线承载。
可选的，MN可以在当前MN已为UE配置的无线承载之外为UE新配置一个无线承载作为第一无线承载,比如通过RRC重配消息中的信元无线承载增加或修改列表(比如drb-ToAddModList)中为UE新增一个无线承载作为第一无线承载。或者，MN可以在当前MN已为UE配置的无线承载中选择一个无线承载作为第一无线承载。然后将该无线承载用于UE发送对应SN的QoE测量结果。一些可能的实现方式中，该第一无线承载可以是专门用于发送对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，也可以是与发送对应SN的QoE测量结果的相对应的无线承载。
或者，也可以在该新增的第一无线承载中通过RRC重配消息中的信元RLC承载增加或修改列表(比如rlc-BearerToAddModList)中为UE新增一个逻辑信道(第一逻辑信道)来传输对应SN的QoE测量结果。一些可能的实现方式中，该第一逻辑信道可以是专门用于发送对应SN的QoE测量结果的逻辑信道，也可以是与发送对应SN的QoE测量结果的相对应的逻辑信道。
在本申请实施例中，通过主接入网设备为终端设备配置无线承载用于发送体验质量测量结果，可以减少通过发送体验质量测量结果过程中，对其他信令或数据传输可能造成的影响。另外，主接入网设备可以为不同的无线承载设置不同的逻辑信道优先级，从而终端设备在获得上行传输的授权时，可以根据不同无线承载设置的优先级来优先传输不同无线承载中的信令或数据。
可选的，第一无线承载也可以是MN已经为UE配置了的现有无线承载，然后通过RRC重配消息中的信息元素RLC承载增加或修改列表(比如rlc-BearerToAddModList)中为UE新增一个逻辑信道(第一逻辑信道)来传输对应SN的QoE测量结果。
可以理解的是，第一无线承载中可能具有多个逻辑信道，第一逻辑信道可以专门用于UE发送对应SN的QoE测量结果，其他逻辑信道用于传输其他信息，例如其他逻辑信道可以用于发送对应MN的QoE测量结果(包括由MN主动为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果，而不是SN触发MN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果)，这两个测量结果对应的逻辑信道标识不同。或者，第一逻辑信道可以用于发送对应SN的QoE测量 结果，也可以用于发送其他信息。假设第一逻辑信道能够用于发送对应SN的QoE测量结果和发送对应MN的QoE测量结果，这两个测量结果对应的逻辑信道标识相同。
在本申请实施例中，终端设备通过第一无线承载中的第一逻辑信道发送对应SN的QoE测量结果，这样一方面可以减少QoE测量结果发送时与其他信令或数据可能产生的影响，另一方面，当用于传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的逻辑信道和传输其他信令或数据的逻辑信道对应同一个无线承载时，通过划分逻辑信道对无线承载复用，可以提升对多个逻辑信道的管理效率以及充分利用无线承载资源。
可以理解的是，在本申请实施例中不限定步骤101和步骤102的顺序，即终端设备获取QoE测量结果可以在主接入网设备为其配置第一无线承载之前，也可以在之后。
第一无线承载可能是SRB，也可能是DRB。例如，当第一无线承载是SRB，可以是SRB4，SRB4可以用于传输非MR-DC场景下的QoE测量结果，在本申请实施例中，同样可以用传输MR-DC场景下对应SN的QoE测量结果。或者，第一无线承载可以是SRB5，SRB6，或其他任何还未用于传输信令的新增无线承载，其中SRB5和SRB6也可以有其他的名称，表示是不同于SRB1-SRB4的SRB。当第一无线承载是DRB时，该DRB可以不配置SDAP层。
MN配置第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道的时机，本发明实施例并不限定。例如可以包括：
(1)，如果由MN向UE下发SN配置的QoE测量配置，且SN通过RRC消息将SN配置的QoE测量配置发送给MN，那么配置第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道的时机可以是在MN接收到SN发送的第一消息(或者第一信息)之后，第一消息(或者第一信息)用以触发MN为UE配置第一无线承载。可选的，本申请实施例并不限定SN把SN产生的QoE测量配置发送给MN和SN把第一消息发送给MN之间的先后关系。可以理解的是，显式的第一消息可以不是必需的，也可以通过SN给MN的消息中携带SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置来隐式的触发MN为UE配置第一无线承载。
如果SN通过发送给MN的第二信息携带SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置，那么配置第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道的时机可以是在MN接收到第二信息之后。
如果SN向MN发送第一请求信息，请求MN为UE配置QoE测量配置，那么配置第一无线承载的时机可以是MN接收到第一请求信息之后。
或者，也可以是在UE请求发送QoE测量结果的之后，MN再配置第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道。
(2)，如果由SN向UE下发SN配置的QoE测量配置，那么配置第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道的时机可以是由SN向MN发送第一消息，用于触发MN配置第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道。或者，也可以是在UE请求发送QoE测量结果之后，MN自动配置第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道。
MN给UE配置第一无线承载，与MN向UE发送SN对应的QoE测量配置，可以通过同一个消息，也可以通过不同的消息。
可选的，在CU/DU场景下，当传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，和传输对应MN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，是两个不同的无线承载，且MN的CU请求MN的 DU建立SRB或DRB时，会指示该SRB或DRB是为了对应SN的QoE测量结果，还是对应MN的QoE测量结果。当传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，和传输对应MN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，是相同的无线承载但采用不同的逻辑信道，MN的CU请求MN的DU建立或修改SRB或DRB时，CU会请求DU请求建立一个逻辑信道，指示该逻辑信道用于传输对应SN的QoE测量结果或对应MN的QoE测量结果。
可选的，当第一无线承载为SRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，和传输对应MN的QoE测量结果的无线承载是两个不同的无线承载时，UE的RRC层把对应SN的QoE测量结果发送给第一无线承载对应的PDCP实体，把对应MN的QoE测量结果发送给对应的无线承载对应的PDCP实体。相应的，MN收到测量结果之后，根据该测量结果是通过哪一个无线承载接收的，就知道是对应MN的QoE测量结果还是对应SN的QoE测量结果。
可选的，当第一无线承载为SRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，和传输对应MN的QoE测量结果的无线承载是相同的无线承载，且采用相同的逻辑信道标识时，对应SN的QoE测量结果放在SN对应的RRC消息中，该RRC消息封装在给MN的RRC消息中。比如在UE给MN的RRC消息MeasReportAppLayer中封装一个UE给SN的RRC消息MeasReportAppLayer.MeasReportAppLayer用于发送QoE测量结果。或者UE在发送测量结果的时候，会携带一个指示信息，指示该测量结果是对应SN的QoE测量结果，还是对应MN的QoE测量结果(比如UE在给MN的RRC消息MeasReportAppLayer中携带一个指示信息，指示该测量结果是对应哪一个节点的测量结果)。相应的，MN收到测量结果之后，根据该测量结果是否是封装在MN的RRC消息中，或者根据指示信息就知道是对应SN的QoE测量结果还是对应MN的QoE测量结果。
可选的，当第一无线承载为SRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，和传输对应MN的QoE测量结果的无线承载是相同的无线承载且采用不同的逻辑信道标识时，UE的RRC层生成RRC消息，消息中携带了对应SN的QoE测量结果或对应MN的QoE测量结果。UE的RRC层把RRC消息发送给第一无线承载的PDCP实体时，可以通知该RRC消息是对应哪一个节点的QoE测量结果，或者通知该RRC消息应该通过哪一个逻辑信道来传输。相应的，MN收到测量结果之后，根据该测量结果是通过哪一个逻辑信道接收的，就知道该测量结果是对应SN的QoE测量结果还是对应MN的QoE测量结果。
可选的，当第一无线承载为DRB时，如果对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，和传输对应MN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，是两个不同的无线承载，UE的RRC层或UE的RRC的上层把对应SN的QoE测量结果发送给第一无线承载对应的PDCP实体，UE的RRC层或UE的RRC的上层把对应MN的QoE测量结果发送给对应的无线承载对应的PDCP实体。相应的，MN收到测量结果之后，根据该测量结果是通过哪一个无线承载接收的，就知道该测量结果是对应SN的QoE测量结果还是对应MN的QoE测量结果。
可选的，当第一无线承载为DRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果，和传输对应MN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，是相同的无线承载且采用相同的逻辑信道标识，UE的RRC层或UE的RRC的上层把对应MN的QoE测量结果或对应SN的QoE测量结果发送给第一无线承载对应的PDCP实体时，会通知该测量结果是对应哪一个节点的QoE测量结 果或该测量结果对应的业务类型。PDCP实体在生成PDCP PDU时，会在PDCP PDU报头中携带指示信息，指示对应哪一个节点的测量配置对应的测量结果或指示对应的业务类型。相应的，MN收到测量结果之后，根据该指示信息就知道该测量结果是对应SN的QoE测量结果还是对应MN的QoE测量结果。
可选的，当第一无线承载为DRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载和传输对应MN的QoE测量结果的无线承载是相同的无线承载且采用不同的逻辑信道标识时，UE的RRC层或UE的RRC的上层把对应SN的QoE测量结果或对应MN的QoE测量结果发送给第一无线承载对应的PDCP实体时，会通知该测量结果是对应哪一个节点的测量结果或通知该测量结果应该通过哪一个逻辑信道传输。相应的，MN收到测量结果之后，根据该测量结果是通过哪一个逻辑信道接收的，就知道该测量结果是对应SN的QoE测量结果还是对应MN的QoE测量结果。
另外，因为UE发送的QoE测量结果包括SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果，因此该方法还可以包括：
106、MN将QoE测量结果发送给SN或者其他实体。
可选的，MN可以通过上述步骤104或步骤105中的方法获知当前接收的测量结果是对应SN的QoE测量结果还是对应MN的QoE测量结果。如果是对应SN的QoE测量结果，MN将QoE测量结果发送给SN或者其他实体(比如跟踪收集实体(Trace Collection Entity,TCE))，由其他实体对QoE测量结果进行进一步分析。比如之前SN会把SN配置的QoE测量配置对应的一些信息发送给MN，这些信息可以包括以下至少一项：跟踪标识、TCE IP地址、TCE ID、TCE IP地址与TCE ID的映射关系发送给MN。则MN可以根据这些信息把SN配置的QoE测量结果发送给TCE。可选的，如果MN把QoE测量结果发送给SN,SN可以把QoE测量结果发送给其他实体，比如TCE。
在一些情况下，请参阅图2B，图2B为本申请实施例提供的一种指定无线承载过程示意图，如图2B所示，如果MN有多个无线承载用于UE发送QoE测量结果，例如SRB4是用于UE发送对应MN的QoE测量结果，MN为UE建立第一无线承载用于传输对应SN的QoE测量结果，比如第一无线承载称为SRB5，SRB5对应DCCH，用于传输包括携带对应SN的QoE测量结果的RRC消息。那么在UE发送QoE测量结果之前，可以从MN接收指示信息，该指示信息可以指示MN下发的QoE测量配置是由MN或SN配置的(比如MN在下发QoE测量配置消息中携带该指示信息)，也可以指示当前建立的无线承载是用于传输对应MN的QoE测量结果，或者用于传输对应SN的QoE测量结果(比如MN在下发建立无线承载的消息中携带该指示信息)，然后UE根据该指示信息确定从第一无线承载还是其他无线承载发送当前需要发送的QoE测量结果。如果MN用同一个无线承载用于UE发送所有QoE测量结果，且采用不同的逻辑信道传输对应MN的QoE测量结果和对应SN的QoE测量结果(比如通过SRB4中两个不同的逻辑信道来传输)。那么在UE发送QoE测量结果之前，需要从MN接收指示信息，该指示信息可以指示MN下发的QoE测量配置是由MN或SN配置(比如MN在下发QoE测量配置消息中携带该指示信息)，也可以指示当前建立的逻辑信道是用于传输对应MN的QoE测量结果，或者用于传输对应SN的QoE测量结果(比如MN在下发建立修改或建立无线承载的消息中增加逻辑信道时携带该指示 信息)，然后UE根据该指示信息确定需要从第一无线承载的哪个逻辑信道发送当前需要发送的QoE测量结果。这样在MN接收到QoE测量结果后，可以根据接收到QoE测量结果对应的无线承载或逻辑信道确定是否将该QoE测量结果转发给SN，而不需要其他额外的判定，提升了数据传输效率。
需要说明的是，上述实施例中的MN可以是非切换场景下为UE配置第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道的MN，也可以是由于移动性改变之后的MN(移动性改变之后的MN可以称为目标MN，移动性改变之前的MN可以称为源MN。目标MN从源MN获取源MN为UE配置的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道，目标MN会通知UE继承源MN配置的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道或目标MN为UE重新配置新的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道来传输QoE测量结果，从而UE可以把QoE测量结果发送给目标MN)。可以理解的是，目标MN通知UE继承源MN配置的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道或目标MN为UE重新配置新的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道来传输QoE测量结果也可以理解为MN配置用于接收QoE测量结果的第一无线承载的一种方式。
在本申请实施例中，通过MN向UE发送指示信息，以指示第一无线承载或第一无线承载中的第一逻辑信息用于发送QoE测量结果，可以避免当同一个MN为一个UE配置了多个无线承载用于发送不同对象，例如不同网络侧，或者不同业务类型对应的QoE测量结果时，可能产生的信道混淆问题。
另外，请参阅图3，图3为本申请实施例提供的另一种通信方法流程图，如图3所示，该方法包括如下步骤：
201、终端设备根据体验质量QoE测量配置获取对应的QoE测量结果，所述QoE测量结果包括对应辅基站SN的QoE测量结果；
202、辅接入网设备配置用于接收QoE测量结果的第一无线承载；
203、终端设备通过第一无线承载发送所述QoE测量结果。
同样的，在本申请实施例中，将主接入网设备、辅接入网设备和终端设备实例化为MN、SN和UE进行描述。
本申请实施例中UE进行QoE测量结果发送的第一无线承载可以是由SN为UE配置的无线承载。对应SN的QoE测量结果表示SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果。
SN可以在当前SN已为UE配置的无线承载之外为UE新配置一个无线承载作为第一无线承载，比如通过RRC重配消息中的信息元素无线承载增加或修改列表(比如drb-ToAddModList)中为UE新增一个无线承载作为第一无线承载，第一无线承载可以为SRB4，SRB4可以用于传输非MR-DC场景下的QoE测量结果，在本申请实施例中，同样可以用传输MR-DC场景下对应SN的QoE测量结果。或者，第一无线承载可以是SRB5，SRB6，或其他任何还未用于传输信令的新增无线承载。SRB5对应DCCH，用于传输包括携带对应SN的QoE测量结果的RRC消息。或者，SN可以在当前SN已为UE配置的无线承载中选择一个无线承载作为第一无线承载。比如通过RRC重配消息中的信息元素RLC承载增加或修改列表(比如rlc-BearerToAddModList)中为UE新增一个逻辑信道(第一逻 辑信道)来传输对应SN的QoE测量结果。
可以理解的是，本申请实施例中辅接入网设备为终端设备配置的第一无线承载，是指辅接入网设备与终端设备之间的无线承载。
可选的，第一无线承载中包括多个逻辑信道，其中第一逻辑信道用来传输对应SN的QoE测量结果。第一逻辑信道还可以传输其他信息，例如SN为UE配置的移动性测量配置对应的测量结果或UE发送给SN的RRC重配完成消息。这些其他信息和QoE对应的测量结果在同一个逻辑信道中传输时，逻辑信道标识相同。或者，第一逻辑信道只用来传输QoE对应的测量结果，其他信息在其他的逻辑信道传输，时，第一逻辑信道和其他的逻辑信道对应的逻辑信道标识不同。
在本申请实施例中，通过辅基站为终端设备配置第一无线承载，用于终端设备发送对应辅基站的体验质量测量结果，这样使得在双连接场景中，辅基站既可以通过自身建立无线承载用以接收终端设备发送的测量结果，有效解决了测量结果发送的问题。同时保证了双连接场景中终端设备发送对应SN的QoE测量结果的及时性与可靠性。
另外，用于发送对应SN的QoE测量结果的逻辑信道可以是第一无线承载中的第一逻辑信道，这样一方面可以减少QoE测量结果发送时与其他信令或数据可能产生的影响，另一方面，通过新增逻辑信道实现对无线承载的复用，可以提升对多个无线承载的管理效率以及充分利用可用的无线承载资源。
SN配置第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道的时机，本发明实施例并不限定。例如，可以是在SN向UE发送SN配置的QoE测量配置之前，包括SN接收到需要为UE配置QoE测量配置的通知消息之后；也可以是在SN向UE发送SN配置的QoE测量配置的同时或之后。也可以是在UE请求发送QoE测量结果之后。SN给UE配置第一无线承载的消息，可以和给UE发送SN配置的QoE测量配置是同一个消息，也可以是不同的消息。
可以理解的是，在本申请实施例中不限定步骤201和步骤202的顺序，即终端设备获取QoE测量结果可以在辅接入网设备为其配置第一无线承载之前，也可以在之后。
可选的，当第一无线承载为SRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载不传输其他信息(比如其他RRC信息)时(即该无线承载是专门用于传输对应SN的QoE测量结果)，对应SN的QoE测量结果是放在SN对应的RRC消息中，UE的RRC层直接把RRC消息发送给第一无线承载的PDCP实体。比如在UE给SN的RRC消息MeasReportAppLayer中携带对应SN的QoE测量结果。相应的，SN收到RRC消息之后，根据该RRC消息名称或无线承载标识就知道该RRC消息是QoE测量结果对应的RRC消息，还是其他信息对应的RRC消息。
可选的，当第一无线承载为SRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载也传输其他信息(比如其他RRC信息)且采用相同的逻辑信道标识时，对应SN的QoE测量结果是放在SN对应的RRC消息中。比如在UE给SN的RRC消息MeasReportAppLayer中携带对应SN的QoE测量结果。相应的，SN收到RRC消息之后，根据该RRC消息名称就知道该RRC消息是QoE测量结果对应的RRC消息，还是其他信息对应的RRC消息。
可选的，当第一无线承载为SRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载也传输其他信息(比如其他RRC信息)但采用不同的逻辑信道标识来传输时，UE的RRC层 生成RRC消息，消息中携带了对应SN的QoE测量结果。比如在UE给SN的RRC消息MeasReportAppLayer中携带对应SN的QoE测量结果。UE的RRC层把RRC消息发送给第一无线承载的PDCP实体时，可以通知该RRC消息是对应QoE测量结果，或者通知该RRC消息应该通过哪一个逻辑信道传输。相应的，SN收到RRC消息之后，根据该RRC消息是通过哪一个逻辑信道接收的，或者根据该RRC消息名称就知道该RRC消息是QoE测量结果对应的RRC消息还是其他信息对应的RRC消息。
可选的，当第一无线承载为DRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载不传输其他信息(比如其他业务信息)时(即该无线承载是专门用于传输QoE测量结果)，UE的RRC层或UE的RRC的上层把对应SN的QoE测量结果发送给第一无线承载对应的PDCP实体。相应的，SN通过DRB收到信息之后，根据无线承载标识就知道该信息是QoE测量结果还是其他业务信息。
可选的，当第一无线承载为DRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载也传输其他信息(比如其他数据业务信息)且采用相同的逻辑信道标识时，UE的RRC层或UE的RRC的上层把对应SN的QoE测量结果发送给第一无线承载对应的PDCP实体时，会通知该数据是QoE测量结果。PDCP实体在生成PDCP PDU时，会在PDCP PDU报头中携带指示信息，指示该PDCP PDU携带QoE测量结果。相应的，SN收到PDCP PDU之后，根据该指示信息就知道该PDCP PDU是对应QoE测量结果还是其他数据业务信息。
可选的，当第一无线承载为DRB时，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载也传输其他信息(比如其他数据业务信息)且采用不同的逻辑信道标识时，UE的RRC层或UE的RRC的上层把对应SN的QoE测量结果发送给第一无线承载对应的PDCP实体时，会通知该数据是QoE测量结果或者指示该数据通过哪一个逻辑信道传输。PDCP实体再把对应的PDCP PDU发送给确定的逻辑信道对应的RLC实体。相应的，SN收到PDCP PDU之后，根据PDCP PDU是通过哪一个逻辑信道接收的，就知道该PDCP PDU是对应QoE测量结果还是其他数据业务信息。
可选的，在CU/DU场景下，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载不传输其他信息，SN的CU请求SN的DU建立SRB或DRB时，会指示该SRB或DRB是为了传输对应SN的QoE测量结果，还是其他信息。当传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载也传输其他信息，但采用不同的逻辑信道时，SN的CU请求SN的DU建立或修改SRB或DRB时，CU可以请求DU请求建立一个逻辑信道，并指示该逻辑信道用于传输对应SN的QoE测量结果或者其他信息。
在一些情况下，如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载不传输其他信息(比如其他数据业务信息)时,在UE发送QoE测量结果之前，可以从SN接收指示信息，用于指示第一无线承载是用于传输对应SN的QoE测量结果(比如SN在下发建立无线承载的消息中携带该指示信息)。如果传输对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载也传输其他信息(比如其他数据业务信息)且采用不同的逻辑信道来传输时,在UE发送对应SN的QoE测量结果之前，可以从SN接收指示信息，用于指示当前建立的逻辑信道是用于传输对应SN的QoE测量结果还是用于传输其他信息(比如SN在下发建立修改或建立无线承载的消息中增加逻辑信道时携带该指示信息)，然后UE根据该指示信息确定需要从第一无线承载的哪 个逻辑信道发送当前需要发送的QoE测量结果。这样在SN接收到QoE测量结果后，可以根据对应的无线承载或逻辑信道确定其中携带的信息是否为QoE测量结果，而不需要其他额外的判定，提升了数据传输效率。
需要说明的是，图3所示实施例中的SN可以是非切换场景下为UE配置第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道的SN，也可以是由于移动性改变之后的SN。移动性改变之后的SN可以称为目标SN，移动性改变之前的SN可以称为源SN。目标SN从源SN获取源SN为UE配置的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道，目标SN会通知UE继承源SN配置的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道或目标SN为UE重新配置新的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道来传输QoE测量结果，从而UE可以把QoE测量结果发送给目标SN)。可以理解的是，目标SN通知UE继承源SN配置的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道或目标SN为UE重新配置新的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道来传输QoE测量结果也可以理解为SN配置用于接收QoE测量结果的第一无线承载的一种方式。
与图2A对应的实施例描述内容相同的是，在UE根据QoE测量配置获取对应的QoE测量结果，也可以包括UE接收QoE测量配置的过程，如图3所示，步骤204、由MN从SN获取SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置；步骤205、由MN将SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置发送给UE。或者，也可以是UE直接从SN获取由SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置。
MN从SN获取SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置，具体可以包括以下方式：SN产生的QoE测量配置发送给MN，MN再把SN产生的QoE测量发送给UE。比如SN给MN发送的消息中携带SN产生的RRC消息，RRC消息中携带SN给UE的QoE测量配置。MN再在给UE的RRC重配消息中携带SN产生的RRC消息。这个过程中，SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对于MN来说是透明的。
在一些情况下，如前面实施例描述，SN可以配置QoE测量或SN可以触发MN为UE配置QoE测量。如果MN和SN都为UE配置了同一个业务类型的QoE测量，则前一个QoE测量配置会被后一个QoE测量配置覆盖，从而导致UE不知道该业务类型的QoE测量是由哪一个接入网设备配置的，或者导致这业务类型的QoE测量重新开始从而无法测量该业务类型已经开始的部分通信对应的应用层质量。本实施例提供了一种MN和SN之间进行QoE测量的业务类型协商方法来确定SN能配置的QoE测量的目标业务类型或者SN能触发MN为UE配置的QoE测量的目标业务类型，目标业务类型为MN确定。具体地，请参阅图4，图4为本申请实施例提供的一种目标业务类型确定方法流程图，该方法包括如下步骤：
301、主接入网设备生成第三信息，所述第三信息用于指示对应辅接入网设备能配置或触发的QoE测量的目标业务类型。
302、辅接入网设备从主接入网设备获取所述第三信息。
同样的，在本申请实施例中，将主接入网设备、辅接入网设备和终端设备实例化为MN、SN和UE进行描述。
业务类型包括流媒体服务，IP多媒体系统的多媒体电话服务,虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR),增强现实(augmented reality,AR),超高可靠性超低时延通信(ultra-reliable  low-latency communication,URLLC)业务等，在MR-DC场景中，MN和SN都能够为UE配置QoE测量，一些情况下，MN和SN分别可以进行所有业务类型的QoE测量配置。另一些情况下，MN和SN可以进行协商，由MN确定对应SN的QoE测量配置的目标业务类型，例如通过步骤301进行协商。对应SN能配置的QoE测量的目标业务类型是指SN能够为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的目标业务类型；对应SN能触发的QoE测量的目标业务类型是指SN能够触发MN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的目标业务类型。
可选的，SN从MN获取第三信息可以包括：由MN主动向SN发送第三信息(比如MN在决定SN可以配置的目标业务类型之后，生成并发送第三信息给SN)，以指示对应SN能配置或触发的QoE测量的目标业务类型。可选的，第三信息可能是携带在SN增加请求SN addition request,SN修改请求SN modification request消息中，SN根据接收到的第三信息确定可进行QoE测量配置的业务类型或业务类型列表。
或者，SN从MN获取第三信息可以包括：SN向MN发送第二请求信息，比如该请求信息可能是SN请求的QoE测量的业务类型或业务类型列表；相应地，MN从SN接收第二请求信息，根据第二请求信息生成第三信息，并向SN发送第三信息，以指示SN可以配置或触发的QoE测量的业务类型或业务类型列表，或者指示接纳SN请求的QoE测量的业务类型或业务类型列表。可选的，如果MN不接纳SN的请求，MN可以拒绝SN的请求。或者该第二请求信息也可能是SN请求QoE测量，MN根据该第二请求信息生成并向SN发送第三信息，指示SN可以配置或触发的QoE测量的业务类型或业务类型列表。可选的，SN发送的第二请求信息可能携带在SN Modification required中，MN发送的第三信息可能是携带在SN修改确认SN modification confirm消息中。
可选的，MN给SN发送的第三信息可以是SN可以配置或触发的QoE测量的业务类型或业务类型列表，也可以是MN已经配置的QoE测量的业务类型或业务类型列表。从而SN能根据MN已经配置的QoE测量的业务类型或业务类型列表能知道SN能配置或触发的QoE测量的业务类型。
可选的，SN根据获取到的第三信息判断是否能给UE下发QoE测量配置，以及是否能下发对应业务类型的QoE测量配置。SN可以通过SRB3把SN配置的QoE测量配置发送给UE。或者SN将产生的QoE测量配置发送给MN，MN再把SN产生的QoE测量发送给UE。比如SN给MN发送的消息中携带SN产生的RRC消息，RRC消息中携带SN给UE的QoE测量配置。MN再在给UE的RRC重配消息中携带SN产生的RRC消息。这个过程中，SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对于MN来说是透明的。
在本申请实施例中，通过MN确定对应SN的QoE测量配置对应的目标业务类型，可以使得MN和SN协商进行QoE测量的目标业务类型，而不会造成重复对同类型业务进行配置，提升了配置效率。
在辅接入设备根据接收到的第三信息确定对应辅接入网设备的QoE测量配置的目标业务类型之后，可以包括如下步骤：303、主接入网设备或辅接入网设备向终端设备配置目标业务类型的QoE测量配置。对应辅接入网设备的QoE测量配置可能是辅接入网设备配置的QoE测量配置，也可能是辅接入网设备触发主接入网设备配置QoE测量配置，因此，可能是主接入网设备向终端设备配置目标业务类型的QoE测量配置，也可能是辅接入网设备向 终端设备配置目标业务类型的QoE测量配置。可选的，对于MN而言，MN根据第三信息决定MN可以主动为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的业务类型(即除了SN可以配置的QoE测量对应的业务类型或SN可以触发MN配置的QoE测量对应的业务类型之外的业务类型)。
并且，该方法还可以进一步包括如下步骤：
304、终端设备根据QoE测量配置获取对应辅接入网设备的QoE测量结果，所述QoE测量结果为目标业务类型对应的测量结果；
对应SN的QoE测量结果包括：SN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果；或者由SN触发MN为UE配置的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果；或者由SN接收的QoE测量结果，因此对应SN的QoE测量结果对应的目标业务类型包括：SN能够为UE生成QoE测量配置的目标业务类型；或者SN能够触发MN为UE生成QoE测量配置的目标业务类型；或者SN能够接收的QoE测量结果对应的目标业务类型。
305、终端设备发送所述对应辅接入网设备的QoE测量结果。
可选的，本申请实施例可以与图2A～图2B对应的实施例进行结合，即终端设备发送对应辅接入网设备的QoE测量结果时，采用主接入网设备配置的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道进行发送。具体描述可以参见图2A～图2B对应的实体例的描述。可选的，在UE获取到对应SN的QoE测量结果之后，将其发送给MN，UE可以在发送的QoE测量结果中携带一个该QoE测量结果对应的业务类型，由于MN和SN之间已经协商了各自能对应的QoE测量结果的业务类型，从而MN根据业务类型就能知道该测量结果是对应哪一个节点配置的QoE测量。相应的，MN收到测量结果之后，根据业务类型就知道是对应MN的QoE测量结果还是对应SN的QoE测量结果，MN可以将对应SN的QoE测量结果转发给SN，也可以转发给其他实体。提升了QoE测量结果的发送效率。
可选的，本申请实施例可以与图3对应的实施例进行结合，SN配置QoE测量配置之前，与MN进行协商，并由MN确定SN能够进行QoE测量配置的目标业务类型。那么终端发送对应辅接入网设备的QoE测量结果时，采用辅接入网设备配置的第一无线承载或第一逻辑信道进行发送，同样的，UE可以在发送的QoE测量结果中携带一个该QoE测量结果对应的业务类型，那么SN可以根据接收到的QoE测量结果对应的业务类型确定是否为自身对应的QoE测量结果，提升了接收QoE测量结果的准确性。
可选的，本申请实施例也可以为单独的实施例。即其他双连接或多连接场景下，对应SN的QoE测量结果的目标业务类型也由MN确定。例如UE传送对应SN的QoE测量结果的无线承载，是SN与UE之间的现有无线承载和逻辑信道，在这种情况下，SN同样可以根据接收到的QoE测量结果对应的业务类型确定是否为自身对应的QoE测量结果，提升了接收QoE测量结果的准确性。
需要说明的是，上述各个实施例的通信方法中，由终端设备实现的步骤或者操作，也可以由可配置于终端设备的部件实现，由接入网设备(例如MN或者SN)实现的步骤或者操作，也可以由可配置于接入网设备的部件实现。
