It should be understood that the terms "system" and "network" are often used interchangeably herein. The term "and/or" in this article is only an association relationship to describe the associated objects, indicating that there can be three kinds of relationships, for example, A and/or B, it can mean that A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and A and B exist independently B these three cases. In addition, the character "/" in this document generally indicates that the related objects are an "or" relationship.

Quality of Experience (QoE) refers to users' subjective feelings about the quality and performance of devices, networks and systems, applications or services. QoE refers to the user's perceived ease of completing the entire process. ITU-T Rec E.800 originally defined QoS as "the combined effect of service performance that determines user satisfaction". From its definition, it is very eloquent and abstract. Specifically, QoS is narrowly understood as the KPI performance index of the underlying packet data transmission. These parameters include network delay, jitter, bandwidth, bit errors and other indicators. From the network device level, it is easy to monitor and count, and KPI objectively reflects the performance of the device. The International Telecommunication Union defines QoE as: the subjective acceptability of an application or service as a whole by end users. In other words, QoE is defined as the overall performance of a system as experienced from the user's perspective. QoE is a subjective feeling, which is a subjective feeling of the service generated by the user in the process of interacting with the service or application. Therefore, QoE has two direct impact factors: users and services. However, the process of interaction between users and services will definitely be in a certain objective environment, and the objective environment has a greater impact on the interaction process between users and services. Therefore, in this application, QoE is defined as: the overall recognition degree of the service or business used by the user in a certain objective environment.

The purpose of QoE collection and reporting is for a specific application, and the network configuration terminal reports the measurement quantity related to the user experience of the application, such as at least one of the following:

Average Throughput;

Initial Playout Delay;

Buffer Level;

Device information.

The network device configures the terminal device with a QoE collection configuration for collection of QoE measurement quantities.

There are usually two ways to enable the terminal to enable the collection and reporting of QoE measurements.

Among them, the first is a management-based method. After Operation and Maintenance (OAM) sends the acquisition requirements to the base station, the base station will support the evolution of QoE within a suitable geographic scope (areaScope). The Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) capability finds suitable terminals and then sends the configuration file to them.

When the access layer (Access Stratum, AS) of the terminal device receives the signaling containing the QoE acquisition configuration from the base station, that is, the application layer measurement configuration (RRCConnectionReconfiguration->otherConfig->measConfigAppLayer) in other configurations in the RRC connection reconfiguration , the AS of the terminal device can send the corresponding configuration, that is, the measurement configuration application layer container (measConfigAppLayerContainer), to the appropriate application (APP) layer according to the service type information element (according to the Service Type IE). At the same time, between the base station and the terminal equipment, SRB4 needs to be established. When the measurement result generated by the APP layer is obtained by the AS layer, the measurement result will be stored in the measReportAppLayerContainer and sent to the base station on SRB4 through the access layer. In order to facilitate the base station to know the IP address of the target core network element, the terminal needs to send the QoE parameter (QoE Reference) together with the QoE measurement report (QoE Measurement report) to the base station.

In other words, when sending the QoE acquisition configuration to a qualified terminal device, the network device will use the RRC connection reconfiguration (RRCConnectionReconfiguration) signaling to send the QoE measurement configuration to the terminal device, where the RRC connection reconfiguration information element (RRCConnectionReconfiguration IE) The other configuration information element (otherConfig IE) will contain the QoE measurement configuration, and the QoE measurement configuration contains the following information: Service type (Service type) and QoE measurement collection (QoE measurement collection, QMC) configuration file (QMC configuration file). For example, the information included in the QMC configuration file may be the information stored in the r15 measurement configuration application layer container (measConfigAppLayerContainer-r15).

In other words, the network device searches for a suitable terminal within a suitable geographic scope (areaScope) according to the Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) capability that supports QoE, that is, a terminal that meets the QoE acquisition conditions, The QMC configuration file is then sent to the found terminal. When the terminal access layer (Access Stratum, AS) receives the signaling from the network device, the terminal AS layer can send the corresponding QoE configuration file (QoE configuration file) according to the service type information element (according to the Service Type IE). to the appropriate application (APP) layer. At the same time, between the network device and the terminal, signaling radio bearers (signalling radio bearers, SRB) 4 need to be established. After the measurement result of the APP layer is obtained by the AS, the measurement result is stored in the measurement configuration application layer container (measReportAppLayerContainer), and sent to the network device on the SRB4 through the bottom layer.

The second is based on signaling (signaling-based) method. Mobility Management Entity (MME) in the core network will directly send the collection requirements for a specific terminal device to the eNB. The configuration collected by QoE is sent to a specific end device.

In LTE, a terminal can only support the collection of QoE measurement quantities of one service type at the same time in a certain period of time. Due to the improvement of the terminal's own capabilities and the increasing demand for simultaneous development of multiple services, in 5G NR, the terminal needs to have the ability to simultaneously support the collection of QoE measurements of at least one service type in a certain period of time. However, with the improvement of the terminal equipment's own capabilities and the increasing demand for simultaneous multi-service development, the QoE measurement quantity collection scheme in LTE can no longer meet the requirements of the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5-Generation, 5G). Radio, NR) technology. Therefore, the present application provides a collection solution for QoE measurement quantity that can support 5G NR.

Since the base station's perception of the radio access network (RAN) air interface resources is immediate, in order to better correlate the amount of data reported by QoE with the adequacy of air interface resources, in this application, the data sent by the base station can be Indication information such as MAC CE controls the suspension and resumption of QoE reporting. In actual operation, the network should be allowed to choose to suspend or resume the QoE measurement reporting of some service types according to the air interface resource adequacy.

S210, receiving the indication information sent by the network device;

S220. Based on the indication information, suspend the collection, suspend the reporting, resume the collection, or resume the reporting of the QoE measurement quantity corresponding to the at least one service type.

In short, the terminal device suspends the collection, suspends the reporting, resumes the collection or resumes the reporting of the QoE measurement quantity corresponding to the at least one service type based on the indication information sent by the network device.

In this embodiment of the present application, based on the indication information sent by the network device, suspend the collection, suspend the reporting, resume the collection or resume the reporting of the QoE measurement corresponding to the at least one service type. The collection and/or reporting of QoE measurements can further support the collection and/or reporting of QoE measurements in 5G NR; on the other hand, due to the shortage of air interface transmission resources, the collection and/or reporting of QoE measurements For reporting, the network equipment is designed to have the ability to suspend the measurement collection and/or reporting of the terminal, and after the network air interface transmission resource usage improves, the collection and/or reporting of the QoE measurement can be resumed. Based on this, the network equipment can It is possible to flexibly designate the terminal to suspend or resume the collection and/or reporting of QoE measurement quantities corresponding to at least a certain type of service or all types of services, so as to reduce network air interface resource overhead.

In summary, suspending collection, suspending reporting, resuming collection, or resuming reporting of the QoE measurement corresponding to the at least one service type based on the indication information sent by the network device can improve the flexibility of reporting the QoE measurement corresponding to the service type. , saving network air interface resource overhead.

It should be noted that the term "instruction" involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a direct instruction, an indirect instruction, or an associated relationship. For example, if A indicates B, it can indicate that A directly indicates B, for example, B can be obtained through A; it can also indicate that A indicates B indirectly, such as A indicates C, and B can be obtained through C; it can also indicate that there is an association between A and B relation.

In some implementations, the indication information includes at least one bit, and the at least one bit is in a one-to-one correspondence with at least one service type. Based on this, for each bit in the at least one bit, based on the value of the bit, suspend collection, suspend reporting, resume collecting, or resume reporting the QoE measurement of the service type corresponding to the bit . Optionally, in the case that the value of the bit is the first value, suspend the collection and/or suspend the reporting of the QoE measurement quantity of the service type corresponding to the bit; When the value is the second value, the collection and/or reporting of the QoE measurement of the service type corresponding to the bit is resumed. In the case where the value of the bit is the first value, convert the collection state and/or the reporting state of the QoE measurement quantity of the service type corresponding to the bit; or, in the value of the bit In the case of the second value, the collection state and/or reporting state of the QoE measurement of the service type corresponding to the bit is not converted; the collection state of the QoE measurement based on the service type corresponding to the bit and/or reporting state, suspend collection, suspend reporting, resume collecting, or resume reporting the QoE measurement of the service type corresponding to the bit. Optionally, the initial state of each bit can be configured by otherconfig in RRCReconfiguration.

As shown in FIG. 3 , it is assumed that the indication information is carried in the MAC CE, and the indication information includes 8 bits, and the 8 bits correspond to index 1# to index #8 respectively. At this time, in an implementation manner, the value of the bit bit represents resuming the acquisition and/or resuming the reporting of the QoE measurement of the service type corresponding to the bit bit, and the value of the bit bit represents suspending the acquisition and/or suspending Report the QoE measurement of the service type corresponding to the bit. Of course, a bit value of 0 represents resuming collection and/or resuming reporting of the QoE measurement of the service type of the corresponding bit, and a bit value of 1 represents suspending collection and/or suspending reporting of the service type of the corresponding bit.

In another implementation manner, the value of the bit is 1 to indicate that the collection status and/or the reporting status of the QoE measurement quantity of the service type corresponding to the bit is converted, and the value of the bit is 0 to indicate that the data is not converted to the bit. The collection status and/or reporting status of the QoE measurement of the corresponding service type.
