Quality of Experience (QoE) collection is a measurement quantity related to user experience in a specific application reported by a network configuration terminal device. Operators can optimize application quality and network performance through QoE measurements reported by terminal devices.

In the related art, the base station searches for a suitable terminal device according to the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (EUTRA) capability that supports QoE within an effective area (area scope). Then, the base station sends the quality of experience measurement configuration information (QoE measurement configuration, QMC) to the searched terminal equipment. After receiving the QMC, the terminal device starts a QoE collection session (QoE collection session) to collect QoE measurements. After the terminal device starts a QoE collection session, the current QoE measurement is collected regardless of whether the terminal device is in the valid area. When the terminal device leaves the valid area, the terminal device is not allowed to open a new QoE collection session.

FIG. 1 is a signaling interaction diagram of an existing method for opening a QMC collection session. As shown in Figure 1, the method for opening a QMC collection session includes steps S101-S108:

S101. If the terminal device needs to be handed over to the target cell, the source base station sends a handover request to the target base station, where the handover request includes a medium effective area range.

S102. The target base station determines whether the target cell is within the effective area.

S103: If yes, the target base station sends feedback information to the source base station, where the feedback information includes a first identifier, where the first identifier is used to indicate that the target cell where the terminal device resides after the cell handover is within the effective area.

S104: The source base station sends a handover instruction to the terminal device, where the handover instruction includes the first identifier.

S105. The access layer of the terminal device sends the first identifier to the application layer of the terminal device.

S106. The application layer of the terminal device opens a QoE collection session according to the first identifier, and collects the measurement quantity of QoE.

S107. After completing the QMC, the terminal device generates a measurement report, where the measurement report includes the QMC information, the identity of the target cell and the identity of the QoE collection session.

S108, the terminal device reports the measurement report to the target base station.

It should be noted that, when the terminal device is in an inactive (Inactive) state, the base station that releases the terminal device to the inactive state is the anchor base station. The anchor base station does not delete the access context (Access Stratum context, AS context) of the terminal device, but the terminal device and the anchor base station cannot send or receive uplink and downlink data.

Because the terminal device will configure the area list of the radio access network notification area (RAN notification area list) to indicate the effective area range for collecting and/or reporting the measurement quantity of the quality of experience. Therefore, when the terminal device is in the Inactive state, if the terminal device needs to collect QoE measurements, the anchor base station of the terminal device needs to send an instruction to the base station in the RAN notification area list. , so that the base station in the radio access network notification area pages the terminal device, so that the terminal device initiates random access. When the terminal device is in the connected state, the QoE measurement can be collected from the terminal device. Therefore, in LTE, the terminal equipment in the disconnected state does not support QoE measurement collection and/or reporting.

In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a communication method and apparatus, by indicating to the terminal equipment the effective area range of the terminal equipment to collect and/or report the measurement quantity of QoE, so that the terminal equipment in the non-connected state does not need to be pulled back. The connected state can determine whether to perform QoE measurement collection and/or reporting.

The execution subjects of the embodiments of the present application are the terminal device and the network device, which relate to the specific process of how the terminal device determines whether to collect and/or report the measurement quantity of QoE. As shown in Figure 3, the method includes:

S201. The network device sends QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal device.

Wherein, the measurement configuration information includes first information, where the first information is used to characterize an effective area range in which the terminal device collects and/or reports the measurement amount of QoE.

In this embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device is in the connected state, the network device may send measurement configuration information to the terminal device, and use the first information in the measurement configuration information to instruct the terminal device to collect and/or report the validity of the measurement amount of QoE. geographic range.

It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application do not limit how the network device sends the QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal device. In some embodiments, the QoE measurement configuration information may be carried in Radio Resource Control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling middle. Exemplarily, the network device may send the QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal device through RRC Release (RRC Release) signaling.

It should be understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the content included in the first information, and the first information may be used in various ways to represent the effective area range of the terminal device to collect and/or report the measurement amount of QoE. Exemplarily, the first information may include at least one of the following: at least one cell ID (cell ID list), at least one radio access network notification area (RAN Notificatioin area list), at least one tracking area code (tracking area code list) , the cell identifier, the radio access network notification area and the tracking area code can all be used to determine the effective area range of the QoE measurement.

In this step, after receiving the measurement configuration information, the terminal device may determine whether to collect and/or report the measurement amount of QoE according to the first information in the measurement configuration information.

It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application do not limit how the terminal device determines whether to collect and/or report the measurement amount of QoE. In some embodiments, the terminal device includes an access layer (Access Stratum, AS) and an application layer (Application, APP). The access layer of the terminal device is configured to receive the QoE measurement configuration information sent by the network device, and determine whether to collect and/or report the QoE measurement amount according to the first information in the QoE measurement configuration information. Then, the access layer of the terminal device sends indication information to the application layer of the terminal device to indicate whether the application layer of the terminal device collects and/or reports the measurement amount of QoE.

It should be understood that the access layer of the terminal device and the application layer of the terminal device involved in the embodiments of the present application are software modules. The access layer of the terminal device is used to access the network device and process related information sent by the network device, and may also be referred to as an access module of the terminal device. The access layer of the terminal device is used to run related applications, which may also be referred to as the application module of the terminal device.

The following provides ways of how the terminal device determines whether to collect and/or report the measurement quantity of QoE in two cases.

In the first case, when the application layer of the terminal device starts to collect the QoE measurement, the terminal device can determine whether the QoE measurement can be collected and/or reported. At this time, the first information is specifically used to determine whether the cell where the terminal device resides when starting the QoE measurement is within the effective area.

Exemplarily, when the application layer of the terminal device starts to collect the measurement quantity of QoE, the application layer of the terminal device receives an indication of enabling the measurement of QoE. Subsequently, the access layer of the terminal device determines whether the current camping cell of the terminal device is within the effective area range represented by the first information. If so, the access layer of the terminal device sends first information to the application layer of the terminal device, where the first information is used to instruct the application layer of the terminal device to collect and/or report the measurement amount of QoE. If not, the access layer of the terminal device sends second information to the application layer of the terminal device, where the second information is used to instruct the application layer of the terminal device not to collect and/or report the measurement quantity of QoE. If the application layer of the terminal device receives the first information, it is permitted to start the collection and/or reporting of the QoE measurement, and if the application layer of the terminal device receives the first information, the QoE measurement is not collected and/or Report.

In the second case, after the terminal equipment moves to a cell, the terminal equipment can determine whether the measurement quantity of QoE can be collected and/or reported. At this time, the first information is specifically used to determine whether the first cell where the terminal device re-camps after the cell handover is within the valid area.

Exemplarily, after the terminal device moves to the first cell, the access layer of the terminal device may determine whether the first cell is within the effective area represented by the first information. If yes, the access layer of the terminal device sends third information to the application layer of the terminal device, where the third information is used to instruct the application layer of the terminal device to collect the measurement quantity of QoE. If not, the access layer of the terminal device sends fourth information to the application layer of the terminal device, where the fourth information is used to instruct the application layer of the terminal device not to collect and/or report the measurement amount of QoE. If the application layer of the terminal device receives the third information, it is permitted to start the collection and/or reporting of the QoE measurement, and if the application layer of the terminal device receives the fourth information, the QoE measurement is not collected and/or Report.

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned first information, second information, third information and fourth information may include an indication identifier, and the indication identifier may be used to indicate whether to instruct the application layer of the terminal device to collect the measurement quantity of QoE. Exemplarily, the third information may include the withinArea identifier to indicate that the application layer of the end device collects the measurement amount of QoE.

It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the manner in which the terminal device collects the measurement quantity of QoE, and an appropriate collection manner may be selected according to the actual situation.

The following describes the manner in which the terminal equipment reports the measurement report of QoE.

In this embodiment of the present application, after the terminal device collects the QoE measurement and switches from the disconnected state to the connected state, the terminal device may report the QoE measurement report including the QoE measurement to the network device.

It should be understood that this embodiment of the present application does not limit how the terminal device reports the QoE measurement report. Exemplarily, after the terminal device transitions from the disconnected state to the connected state, fifth information may be sent to the network device, where the fifth information includes a first identifier, and the first identifier is used to indicate that the terminal device has a measurement of QoE. Report. Subsequently, the network device sends a measurement report reporting request to the terminal device, and the terminal device can report a QoE measurement report after receiving the measurement report reporting request, and the measurement report includes the QoE measurement amount collected by the terminal device.

The embodiments of the present application do not limit the network device that receives the QoE measurement report. In some embodiments, the network device may be the network device currently serving after the terminal device returns to the connected state.

In some implementations, the measurement report further includes the address of the network node that collects the QoE measurement, the QoE reference, and the recorded session identifier, so that the terminal device will collect the network node address of the QoE measurement, the QoE reference, and the recorded session identifier. Inform the network device of the current service.

In other embodiments, the currently serving network device may also obtain the network node address, QoE reference, and recorded session identifier for collecting QoE measurements from the anchor network device before the terminal device transitions to the disconnected state through the Xn interface Inform the current service.

In some embodiments, the QoE reference parameter is used to identify the network request session. The QoE reference is globally unique. In one implementation, the parameters of the QoE reference may include a mobile device network code (Mobile Network Code, MNC), a mobile device country code (Mobile Country Code, MCC), and a QMC identifier. Among them, MCC and MNC are usually accompanied by a tracking activation request from a management system, so as to identify a public land mobile network (Public Land Mobile Network, PLMN) including a management system. The QMC identification can be a three-byte octet string, and the QMC identification is generated by the management system or the operator to identify the collection of QoE measurement quantities.
