应用层测量收集方法和通信装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2021年12月25日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202111605375.7、申请名称为“应用层测量收集方法和通信装置”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
本申请涉及通信领域，并且更具体的，涉及一种应用层测量收集方法和通信装置。
背景技术
对于一些流业务或语音业务而言，例如流服务(streaming service)、互联网协议(internet protocol，IP)多媒体子系统的多媒体电话服务(multimedia telephony service for IMS，MTSI)等，单纯的信号质量并不能体现用户在使用这些业务时的体验。运营商通过获知用户的体验，从而能够更好的优化网络以提高用户体验。这类测量收集可以称为体验质量(quality of experience，QoE)测量收集(QoE measurement collection,QMC)，也可以称为应用层测量收集(简称为应用层测量)。在QoE测量收集时，接入网设备从核心网(core network，CN)或操作、管理和维护(operation,administration and maintenance，OAM)实体接收用于应用层测量的测量配置信息，并将该测量配置信息发送给终端设备。终端设备根据该测量配置信息获取测量结果之后，将该测量结果发送给接入网设备。在该接入网设备的负载较高时，该接入网设备还可以通知终端设备暂停向本接入网设备上报该测量结果。此时，终端设备可以继续进行测量但并不上报测量结果。
在多无线的双连接(multi-radio dual connectivity，MR-DC)架构中，终端设备可以同时与至少两个接入网设备存在通信连接并可以收发数据。在该至少两个接入网设备之中，可以将负责与终端设备交互无线资源控制消息，并负责和核心网控制平面实体交互的接入网设备称为主基站(master node，MN)，其他接入网设备可以称之为辅基站(secondary node，SN)。这种场景下，终端设备收到来自MN或SN的应用层测量的测量配置信息后，如何进行该测量配置信息对应的测量结果的上报，是一个需要研究的问题。
发明内容
本申请提供通信方法和装置，使得终端设备能够基于指示进行由第一节点配置的应用层测量任务中的全部或部分对应的测量结果向第二节点上报的暂停，从而对接入网设备的空口负载进行平衡。
第一方面，提供了一种应用层测量收集方法，该方法通过由第一接入网设备基于来自第二接入网设备的请求，向终端设备请求暂停向该第二接入网设备上报由第一接入网设备配置给该终端设备的一个或多个应用层测量任务中的全部或部分对应的测量结果。其中，第一接入网设备和第二接入网设备均为接入网设备。在本申请中，接入网设备也可以称为 接入网节点，在本申请后续描述中，简称为节点。
该方法从第一节点的角度描述，可以包括：
第一节点向终端设备发送至少一个第一应用层测量配置；
所述第一节点通知所述终端设备将所述至少一个第一应用层测量配置对应的测量结果上报给第二节点；
所述第一节点接收来自第二节点的第一请求信息，所述第一请求信息请求暂停向所述第二节点上报由所述第一节点向所述终端设备发送的所有第一应用层测量配置中的全部或部分对应的测量结果，所述所有第一应用层测量配置包括所述至少一个第一应用层测量配置；
所述第一节点向所述终端设备发送第二请求信息，所述第二请求信息请求所述终端设备暂停向所述第二节点上报由所述第一节点向所述终端设备发送的所有第一应用层测量配置中的全部或部分第一应用层测量配置对应的测量结果，所述所有第一应用层测量配置包括所述至少一个第一应用层测量配置。
可以理解的是，第一节点向所述终端设备发送第二请求信息响应于该第一节点从第二节点所接收的第一请求信息。
可选的，第一请求信息请求暂停特定的或非特定的第一应用层测量配置的测量结果上报给所述第二节点。
可选的，第二请求信息请求暂停特定的或非特定的第一应用层测量配置的测量结果上报给所述第二节点。
以上方法提供了一种应用层测量配置的测量结果上报的暂停方法，该暂停方法针对第一节点配置给该终端设备的应用层测量配置且该应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果上报给第二节点，可以支持节点的空口负载均衡，从而可以避免网络空口的拥塞，提高网络运行的效率。
可选的，第二请求信息请求暂停测量结果上报给所述第二节点的第一应用层测量配置由所述第一节点基于所述第一请求信息确定，比如，该第二请求信息所涉及的第一应用层测量配置和该第一请求信息所涉及的第一应用层测量配置完全相同，即，所述第一节点不额外进行所需暂停测量结果上报的第一应用层测量配置的判断，或者，该第二请求信息所涉及的第一应用层测量配置和该第一请求信息所涉及的第一应用层测量配置可以不同，比如，该第一请求信息所涉及的第一应用层测量配置为非特定的，而该第二请求信息所涉及的第一应用层测量配置为特定的，再比如，该第一请求信息所涉及的第一应用层测量配置和该第二请求信息所涉及的第一应用层测量配置均为特定的，但该第二请求信息所涉及的第一应用层测量配置为该第一请求信息所涉及的第一应用层测量配置中的部分，即，所述第一节点进行所需暂停测量结果上报的第一应用层测量配置的进一步判断。由第一节点进行所需暂停测量结果上报的第一应用层测量配置的确定，可以使得第一节点结合该第一节点的空口负载进行进一步的确定，实现节点的空口负载均衡的更精细化的管理。进一步的，由于所述第一应用层测量配置是由第一节点下发给所述终端设备的，所述第一节点具有该第一应用层测量配置更详细的信息，也可以使得暂停所涉及的第一应用层测量配置更满足系统所需，此外，还可以减少向所述第二节点发送该第一应用层测量配置相关的信息，比如测量优先级和/或可见性指示等所带来的节点间的开销。

具体实施方式
下面将结合附图，对本申请中的技术方案进行描述。
本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统，例如：长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex，FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex，TDD)、通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunication system，UMTS)、第五代(5th generation，5G)系统或新无线(new radio，NR)，或未来的下一代通信系统等。
本申请实施例中的终端设备也可以称为：用户设备(user equipment，UE)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、移动终端(mobile terminal，MT)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置等。
终端设备可以是一种向用户提供语音/数据连通性的设备，例如，具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。目前，一些终端的举例为：手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device，MID)、可穿戴设备，虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端、蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol，SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备，未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公用陆地移动通信网络(public land mobile network，PLMN)中的终端设备等，本申请实施例对此并不限定。
作为示例而非限定，在本申请实施例中，该终端设备还可以是可穿戴设备。可穿戴设备也可以称为穿戴式智能设备，是应用穿戴式技术对日常穿戴进行智能化设计、开发出可以穿戴的设备的总称，如眼镜、手套、手表、服饰及鞋等。可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上，或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。可穿戴设备不仅仅是一种硬件设备，更是通过软件支持以及数据交互、云端交互来实现强大的功能。广义穿戴式智能设备包括功能全、尺寸大、可不依赖智能手机实现完整或者部分的功能，例如：智能手表或智能眼镜等，以及只专注于某一类应用功能，需要和其它设备如智能手机配合使用，如各类进行体征监测的智能手环、智能首饰等。
此外，在本申请实施例中，终端设备还可以是物联网(internet of things，IoT)系统中的终端设备，IoT是未来信息技术发展的重要组成部分，其主要技术特点是将物品通过通信 技术与网络连接，从而实现人机互连，物物互连的智能化网络。
在本申请实施例中，IoT技术可以通过例如窄带(narrow band，NB)技术，做到海量连接，深度覆盖，终端省电。例如，NB只包括一个资源块(resource bloc，RB)，即，NB的带宽只有180KB。要做到海量接入，必须要求终端在接入上是离散的，根据本申请实施例的通信方法，能够有效解决IOT技术海量终端在通过NB接入网络时的拥塞问题。
本申请实施例中的接入网设备可以是用于与终端设备通信的设备，该接入网设备也可以称为接入设备或无线接入网设备，可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(evolved NodeB，eNB或eNodeB)，云无线接入网络(cloud radio access network，CRAN)场景下的无线控制器，或者该接入网设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及5G网络中的接入网设备或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的接入网设备等，可以是WLAN中的接入点(access point，AP),可以是新型无线系统(new radio，NR)系统中的gNB，本申请实施例并不限定。
另外，在本申请实施例中，接入网设备是接入网(radio access network,RAN)中的设备，或者说，是将终端设备接入到无线网络的RAN节点。例如，作为示例而非限定，作为接入网设备，可以列举：gNB、传输接收点(transmission 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)、基带单元(base band unit，BBU)，或无线保真(wireless fidelity，Wifi)接入点(access point，AP)等。在一种网络结构中，接入网设备可以是包括集中单元(centralized unit，CU)节点和分布单元(distributed unit，DU)节点的RAN设备，或者是包括控制面CU节点(CU-CP节点)和用户面CU节点(CU-UP节点)以及DU节点的RAN设备。
接入网设备为小区提供服务，终端设备通过该小区使用的传输资源(例如，频域资源，或者说，频谱资源)与接入网设备进行通信，该小区可以是接入网设备(例如基站)对应的小区，小区可以属于宏基站，也可以属于小小区(small cell)对应的基站，这里的小小区可以包括：城市小区(metro cell)、微小区(micro cell)、微微小区(pico cell)、毫微微小区(femto cell)等，这些小小区具有覆盖范围小、发射功率低的特点，适用于提供高速率的数据传输服务。
此外，LTE系统或5G系统中的载波上可以同时有多个小区同频工作，在某些特殊场景下，也可以认为上述载波与小区的概念等同。例如在载波聚合(carrier aggregation，CA)场景下，当为UE配置辅载波时，会同时携带辅载波的载波索引和工作在该辅载波的辅小区的小区标识(cell identification，Cell ID)，在这种情况下，可以认为载波与小区的概念等同，比如终端设备接入一个载波和接入一个小区是等同的。
本申请实施例中的核心网设备，是指为终端设备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。例如，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。
图1示出了本申请实施例提供的一种网络架构的示意图，如图1所示，终端设备可以同时与两个接入网设备存在通信连接并可收发数据，可以称之为双连接(dual-connectivity，DC)，或者多无线的双连接(multi-radio dual connectivity，MR-DC)。这样，网络侧可以利用这两个接入网设备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的传输。该两个接入网设备之中，可以有一个接入网设备负责与该终端设备交互无线资源控制消息，并负责和核心网控制平面实体交互，那么，该接入网设备可以称之为主基站(master node，MN)，则另一个无线接入网设备可以称之为辅基站(secondary node，SN)。
在MR-DC中，终端设备也可以同时与多个接入网设备存在通信连接并可收发数据，该多个接入网设备之中，可以有一个接入网设备负责与该终端设备交互无线资源控制消息，并负责和核心网控制平面实体交互，那么，该接入网设备可以称之为MN，则其余的接入网设备可以称之为SN。
本申请实施例中，该两个接入网设备或多个接入网设备可以是属于同一无线接入技术(radio access technology，RAT)的接入网设备，比如都是4G基站，或者都是5G基站，也可以是不同RAT的接入网设备，比如一个是4G基站，一个是5G基站。
MR-DC可以包括多种类型，例如演进的通用陆基无线接入和新无线组成双连接(E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity，EN-DC)、下一代无线接入网演进的通用陆基无线接入和新无线组成双连接(NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity,NGEN-DC)、新无线和演进的通用陆基无线接入组成双连接(NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity，NE-DC)和新无线和新无线组成的双连接(NR-NR dual connectivity，NR-DC)等。可以理解的是，MR-DC是下一代无线网络的组网结构，下一代无线接入网(next generation radio access network,NG-RAN)节点可以包括新无线(new radio，NR)接入网设备和演进的通用陆基无线接入(evolved universal terrestrial radio access，E-UTRA)接入网设备。
示例性的，EN-DC中MN为连接到演进型分组核心网(evolved packet core，EPC)的LTE基站(比如eNB)，SN为NR基站(比如gNB)。
示例性的，NGEN-DC中MN为连接到5G核心网(5generation core，5GC)的LTE基站(比如ng-eNB)，SN为NR基站(比如gNB)。
示例性的，NE-DC中的MN为连接到5GC的NR基站(比如gNB)，SN为LTE基站(比如eNB)。
示例性的，NR-DC中MN为连接到5GC的NR基站(比如gNB)，SN为NR基站(比如gNB)。
对于一个MR-DC中的终端设备而言，SN可能和MN连接的核心网有用户面连接，即核心网可以直接通过SN给终端设备发送数据。
MR-DC中MN中存在一个主小区，SN中存在一个主辅小区。主小区是指部署在主频点，且终端设备在小区发起初始连接建立过程或发起连接重建过程，或者在切换过程中指示为主小区的小区。主辅小区是指终端设备在SN发起随机接入过程的小区或者当终端设备在SN改变过程中跳过随机接入过程发起数据传输的小区，或者执行同步的重配过程中发起随机接入的SN的小区。
EN-DC网络有时也称为非独立(non standalone，NSA)的网络。因为在5G开始阶段，EN-DC网络中终端设备并不能驻留在NR小区。能驻留终端设备的NR基站有时也称为独立(standalone，SA)NR基站。
图2示出了本申请实施例提供的一种网络架构的示意图。如图2所示，RAN设备和终端设备之间的通信遵循一定的协议层结构。例如控制面协议层结构可以包括无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)层、分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层、无线链路控制(radio link control，RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)层和物理层等协议层的功能。用户面协议层结构可以包括PDCP层、RLC层、MAC层和物理层等协议层的功能；在一种实现中，用户面协议层结构的PDCP层之上还可以包括业务数据适配(service data adaptation protocol，SDAP)层。
这些协议层的功能可以由一个节点实现，或者可以由多个节点实现；例如，在一种演进结构中，RAN设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit，CU)和分布单元(distributed unit，DU)，多个DU可以由一个CU集中控制。
如图2所示，CU和DU可以根据无线网络的协议层划分，例如PDCP层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU，PDCP以下的协议层，例如RLC层和MAC层等的功能设置在DU。或者说，CU具有PDCP层以上(含PDCP、RRC和SDAP)功能，DU具有PDCP层以下(含RLC、MAC和PHY)功能。
这种协议层的划分仅仅是一种举例，还可以在其它协议层划分，例如在RLC层划分，将RLC层及以上协议层的功能设置在CU，RLC层以下协议层的功能设置在DU；或者，在某个协议层中划分，例如将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。此外，也可以按其它方式划分，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。
图3示出了适用于本申请实施例的网络架构的又一示意图。相对于图2所示的架构，还可以将CU的控制面(CP)和用户面(UP)分离，分成不同实体来实现，分别为控制面CU实体(CU-CP实体)和用户面CU实体(CU-UP实体)。
在以上网络架构中，CU产生的信令可以通过DU发送给终端设备，或者终端设备产生的信令可以通过DU发送给CU。DU可以不对该信令进行解析而直接通过协议层封装而透传给终端设备或CU。以下实施例中如果涉及这种信令在DU和终端设备之间的传输，此时，DU对信令的发送或接收包括这种场景。例如，RRC或PDCP层的信令最终会处理为PHY层的信令发送给终端设备，或者，由接收到的PHY层的信令转变而来。在这种架构下，该RRC或PDCP层的信令，即也可以认为是由DU发送的，或者，由DU和射频发送的。
在以上实施例中CU划分为RAN侧的网络设备，此外，也可以将CU划分为CN侧的网络设备，在此不做限制。
在以下实施例中，均以终端设备为UE为例进行描述，可以理解的是，实施例中的UE可以替换为其他任何终端设备，在此不予限定。
对于一些流类业务或者语音业务而言，比如流服务，互联网协议多媒体子系统的多媒体电话服务(MTSI,Multimedia Telephony Service for IP multimedia subsystem),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QoE测量收集，也可称为应用层测量收集(简称为应用层测量)。这类测量可以利用跟踪(trace)的流程或其他流程进行基于信令的QoE测量和基于管理的QoE测量。其中基于信令的QoE测量是指该QoE测量是针对 特定UE的，比如核心网通过UE级别的信令向基站发送该基于信令的QoE测量的配置信息。基于管理的QoE测量是指该QoE测量不是针对特定UE的，例如网管或OAM向基站发送该基于管理的QoE测量的配置信息，由基站根据当前接入该基站的UE的能力及其他信息来选择一部分UE进行QoE测量。
如图4所示，QoE测量的基本流程可以包括如下步骤：
401，接入网侧从CN，OAM或元素管理(element manager，EM)中的一项或任意多项的组合获取QoE测量配置信息。
其中，该QoE测量配置信息用于指示UE进行应用层的QoE测量，例如指示UE启动应用层的QoE测量。
在一些实施方式中，当QoE测量为利用基于信令(signalling based)的QoE测量时，CN向接入网侧发送上述QoE测量配置信息。对应的，接入网侧从CN接收该QoE测量配置信息。作为一种可能的实现方式，CN可以通知针对某个特定的UE的QoE测量配置信息，例如可以通过接入网侧与CN之间针对该特定的UE的接口消息发送该QoE测量配置信息，比如在CN给接入网侧发送的针对特定UE的初始上下行建立消息(initial context setup message),跟踪开始消息(trace start message)，切换请求消息(handover request message)，或，UE上下文修改请求消息(UE context modification request message)中的一项或任意多项的组合携带QoE测量配置信息。
在一些实施方式中，当QoE测量为基于管理的QoE测量时，OAM或EM向接入网侧发送该QoE测量配置信息，对应的，接入网侧从OAM或EM接收该QoE测量配置信息。需要说明的是，这里该QoE测量配置信息不是针对某个特定UE的QoE测量配置信息，即接入网侧从OAM或EM收到该QoE测量配置信息时，该QoE测量配置信息并不指定是对哪一个UE进行测量。
作为示例，QoE测量配置信息可以包括下面表格所展示的信息中的一项或任意多项的组合，其中，QoE测量配置信息中包括一个容器(container)，该container中包含了应用层测量配置。之所以称其为容器(也可称为透明容器)，是因为这个容器中的内容，接入网侧并不需要解析，而只需进行透传。
表格1 QoE测量配置信息

Figure PCTCN2022141331-appb-000002
Figure PCTCN2022141331-appb-000003
其中，(1..1000)表示8位字符串的取值范围。
其中，在表1中，QoE测量收集区域范围选择可以分别为基于小区的QoE测量收集区域范围、基于TA的QoE测量收集区域范围、基于TAI的QoE测量收集区域范围、基于PLMN区域的QoE测量收集区域范围。基于小区的QoE测量收集区域范围可以携带QMC的小区列表，<maxnoofCellIDforQMC>表示该小区列表可以具有多个，每个该小区列表中包含全局小区标识(即其下面一行中的内容)。基于TA的QoE测量收集区域范围可以携带QMC的TA列表，<maxnoofTAforQMC>表示该TA列表可以具有多个，每个该TA列表中包含TAC(即其下面一行中的内容)。基于TAI的QoE测量收集区域范围可以携带QMC的TAI列表，<maxnoofTAforQMC>表示该TAI列表可以具有多个，每个该TAI列表中包含TAI(即其下面一行中的内容)。基于PLMN区域的QoE测量收集区域范围可以携带QMC的PLMN列表，<maxnoofPLMNforQMC>表示该PLMN列表可以具有多个，每个该PLMN列表中包含PLMN标识(即其下面一行中的内容)。
当QoE测量配置信息中包括表1中的QoE测量的区域范围时，只有当UE处于这些区域时，接入网侧才会向该UE下发QoE测量配置信息，或者接入网侧才会请求UE上报QoE测量结果,或者接入网侧才会请求UE进行QoE测量。
需要说明的是，在表1中，QoE测量配置信息中的应用层测量配置容器对接入网侧可以是透明的。也就是说，接入网侧并不需要感知到应用层测量配置容器中包含的信息内容。应用层测量配置容器中包含的信息可以称为应用层测量配置信息(或应用层测量配置)。在其他实施方式中，应用层测量配置容器也可以为以接入网侧能感知的形式携带其中包含的信息内容，本申请对此不作限定。
可选的，QoE测量配置信息可以包括一个或多个以上表1中的内容。例如QoE测量配置信息可以包括多个业务类型各自对应的应用层测量配置信息和/或多个业务类型各自对应的QoE测量收集的范围。
需要说明的是，本实施例中是以CN或OAM或EM向接入网设备发送QoE测量请求为例，也可能是其他网络设备向接入网设备发送QoE测量请求,也可能是接入网设备根据自己的需求触发进行QoE测量，本申请不予限定。
对于基于管理的QoE测量，接入网侧从OAM或网元管理(element management,EM)获取QoE测量配置信息。QoE测量配置信息包括应用层测量配置。比如QoE测量配置信息中包括一个container，该container中包含了应用层测量配置。此时，OAM或EM通知的不是针对某个特定UE的QoE测量配置信息。QoE测量配置信息中还可以包括一些和应用层测量配置相关的信息，比如指示前述应用层测量配置所应用的服务类型的信息，或，指示前述应用层测量配置所应用的范围，比如，小区，跟踪区域(tracking area，TA)，或，PLMN区域等，的信息中的一种或多种。
另外，CN，OAM或EM中的一项或任意多项的组合还可以通知接入网侧，给UE的前述应用层测量配置包括让UE上报或测量如下的应用层指标，从而接入网侧可以获知或感知UE会对如下应用层指标进行测量。该应用层指标可以包括如下指标中的一项或任意多项的组合：

-连续的丢包数：指示连续丢失的实时传输协议(real-time transport protocol,RTP)报文数目。该指标可以参考3GPP协议TS 26.114中的16.2章节的定义，但并不局限于此。
-抖动持续时间：抖动是指一个帧的实际播放时刻和期望的播放时刻之间的差别超过一个门限。一个帧的期望的播放时刻是指上一个播放帧的播放时刻加上(当前帧的尼泊尔时间和上一个播放帧的尼泊尔时间之间的差别)。该指标可以参考3GPP协议TS 26.114中的16.2章节的定义，但并不局限于此。

-卡顿情况：指示在视频流播放过程中是否发生了卡顿，或者卡顿发生的时间长度。具体可以参考3GPP流媒体相关的协议，例如TS26.247等，但并不限于此。
本申请中，感知是指接入网侧可以解读，“感知”还可以替换为可见(visible)，获知，或，检测等其他可以表达接入网侧可以解读的含义的词。
本申请所引用的3GPP标准及章节中的内容应理解为可选的实施方式。通常而言，一个3GPP标准，如TS26.114，会有多个版本，比如，V15.8.0,本申请所引用的相应内容在各个标准版本中的章节通常不变，因而，包括相应内容的任意一个版本均可作为本申请的可选的实施方式，在本申请中不予限定。
接入网侧获知UE会对以上应用层指标进行测量之后，接入网侧可以通知UE上报接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标的测量结果。比如接入网侧可以通知UE上报接入网侧可以感知的全部或部分应用层指标的测量结果，例如接入网侧显式通知UE上报哪些接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标的测量结果,或者接入网侧可以通知UE上报协议中规定的接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标的测量结果，比如，接入网侧无需通知UE上报哪些接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标的测量结果，如果UE当前对协议中规定的接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标进行了测量，则UE就上报这些应用层指标对应的测量结果。
可选的，QoE测量配置信息中的应用层测量配置可以不以container形式发送给接入网侧，而是以接入网侧能感知的形式发送给接入网侧，即，应用层测量配置可以以container形式，或，非container形式发送给接入网侧。
可选的，CN，OAM或EM中的一项或任意多项的组合给接入网侧发送的QoE测量配置信息中还可以包括QoE参考(reference)或测量收集实体(measurement collection entity,MCE)的IP地址中的至少一项。其中QoE reference用于标识网络请求的QoE测量(或用于在基站和测量收集实体标识QoE测量收集任务)。QoE reference是一个全局唯一的标识，也即，全局标识。例如，QoE reference由PLMN和QoE测量收集标识构成，其中，PLMN由移动国家码(mobile country code,MCC)和移动网络码(mobile network code,MNC)构成，QoE测量收集标识可以由管理系统或运营商分配。MCE的IP地址可以用于接入网侧在收到UE上报的测量结果之后，基于该MCE的IP地址把该测量结果发送给该MCE。可选的，测量收集实体也可以为其他名称或其他实体，本申请不限定。
402，接入网侧把应用层测量配置发送给UE。
对于基于信令的QoE测量，接入网侧把应用层测量配置发送对应的UE。可选的，发送应用层测量配置之前，接入网侧可以根据UE是否支持QoE测量来决定是否为UE配置QoE测量。在确定UE支持QoE测量的情况下，向UE发送该应用层测量配置。
对于基于管理的QoE测量，接入网侧根据CN，OAM，EM中的一项或任意多项的组合发送的QoE测量配置信息以及UE是否支持对应的QoE测量以及其他一些因素选择合适的UE进行QoE测量。接入网侧选择完UE之后，再把应用层测量配置发送给所选择的UE。
接入网侧通过RRC消息把从CN，OAM或EM中的一项或任意多项的组合中获取的应用层测量配置发送给UE，该消息中还可以携带该应用层测量配置对应的业务类型。
在本申请中，步骤401为可选的，接入网侧可以自己触发为UE配置应用层测量配置，并不限定于步骤402需基于步骤401而触发，即接入网侧可以通过RRC消息把接入网侧自己生成的应用层测量配置发送给UE。可选的，该RRC消息还可以携带该应用层测量配置对应的业务类型。
除了把应用层测量配置发送给UE之外，接入网侧还可以向UE下发一些配置信息，通知UE以接入网侧可以感知的形式，比如信息元素形式，而非container形式，上报一些应用层指标。应用层指标可以包括前面步骤401中的接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标，或，可以包括应用层指标的综合分数，接入层指标的综合分数，或者结合应用层指标和接入层指标得到的综合分数或者指示应用层指标优劣程度的指标，比如优劣程度的取值可以是好，中，差，又比如基站给UE下发一些阈值，UE根据应用层指标测量结果及该应用层测量指标对应的一些阈值，从而知道上报应用层指标测量结果对应的优劣程度的指标。可选的，接入网侧可以无需向UE下发上报关于接入网侧感知的应用层指标的一些配置信息，UE在获得应用层指标之后，UE向接入网侧上报协议规定的且当前UE能获取到的一些应用层指标。
可选的，应用层测量配置可以以非container的形式包括以上接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标的配置。进一步的，应用层测量配置可以不包括container形式的配置。这样，接入网侧可以自行进行应用层测量配置的下发，而不需要从CN，OAM或EM收到相应的应用层测量配置。
可选的，除了把应用层测量配置发送给UE之外，接入网侧还可以向UE下发应用层测量标识。该应用层测量标识可以是接入网侧为UE生成的，每个应用层测量标识指示接入网侧为UE配置的一个应用层测量配置。例如，该应用层测量标识和QoE reference具有对应关系，比如，应用层测量标识可以是QoE reference中的部分信息，比如包括MNC和QoE测量收集标识。接入网侧可以预先保存该应用层测量标识和该QoE reference的对应关系。该应用层测量标识也可以称为RRC层的标识，即接入网侧的RRC层为该应用层测量分配的一个标识。
403，UE的接入层(access stratum,AS)把从接入网侧收到的应用层测量配置发送给UE的AS的上层。
示例性的，接入层的上层例如可以为应用(application，APP)层，或者应用层与接入层之间的层，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
需要说明的是，UE的接入层指的是UE和接入网设备之间进行通信的功能层。示例性的，接入层可以包括无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)层、分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol，PDCP)层、业务数据适配(service data adaptation protocol，SDAP)层中的至少一种。可选的，接入层还可以包括无线链路控制(radio link control，RLC)层、媒体接入控制(media access control，MAC)层和物理PHY层中的至少一种。例如，可以由UE的RRC层来接收应用层测量配置信息和业务类型，并将该应用层测量配置信息和业务类型发送给该RRC层的上层。
其中，UE的AS的上层可以是应用层，或，其他可以进行QoE测量的层。
UE的AS可以把应用层测量配置和业务类型发送给UE的AS的上层。
UE的AS的上层根据应用层测量配置进行QoE测量。
如果应用层测量配置是以一种container形式的方式发送给UE，则UE的AS除了把应用层测量配置发送给AS的上层之外，UE的AS还可以把从接入网侧接收的通知UE以接入网侧可以感知的形式上报的一些应用层指标的配置信息发送给UE的AS的上层，以便UE的AS的上层获知哪些应用层指标的配置信息所对应的测量结果是要求UE以接入网侧可以感知的形式进行上报。
可选的，UE的AS把每个应用层测量配置对应的应用层测量标识也发送给UE的AS的上层。
其中，UE的AS可以通过一个称为口令(attention,AT)命令的方式把以上信息发送给AS的上层。比如可以通过AT command中的命令应用级别测量配置(command application level measurement configuration，CAPPLEVMC)把以上信息发送给AS的上层。
404，UE的AS的上层把应用层测量结果发送给UE的AS。
UE的AS的上层按照一定的规则进行上报应用层测量结果。该规则可以包含在应用层测量配置中，即，配置的，或者，是由协议预先约定的。举例而言，该规则可以是：UE的AS的上层周期性上报应用层测量结果，或者，UE可以在一个会话结束之后才上报应用层测量结果。
当UE的AS的上层根据应用层测量配置上报应用层测量结果时，UE的AS的上层把应用层测量结果发送给UE的AS。可选的，UE的AS的上层可以指示该应用层测量结果对应的业务类型。
示例性的，当上层为应用层时，应用层可以根据接收到的应用层测量配置信息，进行 应用层测量，并获得应用层测量结果。之后，应用层可以将该应用层测量结果发送给UE的接入层。当上层为其他进行QoE测量的层时，其他进行QoE测量的层可以根据接收到的QoE测量配置信息，进行QoE测量，并获得QoE测量结果。之后，该上层可以将QoE测量结果发送给UE的接入层。也即，应用层测量配置是指对应用层的指标进行测量，但并不限定在应用层进行测量，除了应用层之外的其他层也可以进行相应的测量，并获得测量结果。
可选的，UE的AS的上层除了上报接入网侧不可见，即，不感知，的应用层测量结果之外，还可以上报接入网侧可见，即感知，的应用层指标的取值，即该应用层指标的测量结果或测量结果的统计值，即测量结果的函数值，比如以信息元素形式上报的应用层指标的取值。
可选的，UE的AS的上层可以只上报接入网侧可见的应用层指标的取值，比如以信息元素形式上报的应用层指标的取值，即应用层测量结果在上报消息中仅以非container的形式存在。
可选的，UE的AS的上层除了上报应用层测量结果之外，还可以上报该应用层测量结果对应的应用层测量配置对应的应用层测量标识。
405，UE的AS把应用层测量结果发送给接入网侧。
UE的AS把应用层测量结果发送给接入网侧。可选的，UE的AS还将该应用层测量结果对应的业务类型发送给接入网侧。
可选的，可以在上行RRC消息中携带上述应用层测量结果或业务类型中的一项或任意多项的组合。
可选的，应用层测量结果可以通过一种container形式发送给接入网侧，和/或，以非container的形式发送给接入网侧。
可选的，下发应用层测量配置信息的接入网设备，即接入网侧的设备，和接收应用层测量结果的接入网设备，即接入网侧的设备，可以是同一个接入网设备，或者，由于UE的移动，下发应用层测量配置信息的接入网设备和接收应用层测量结果的接入网设备不是同一个接入网设备。
可选的，应用层测量结果如果是以container的形式发送给接入网侧，UE的AS除了上报接入网侧不可见的应用层测量结果(即该container中的内容)之外，还可以上报接入网侧可见的应用层指标的取值。可选的，UE的AS可以通过不同的RRC消息分别上报接入网侧不可见的应用层测量结果和接入网侧可见的应用层指标的取值。
可选的，UE的AS除了上报应用层测量结果之外，还可以上报该应用层测量结果对应的应用层测量配置对应的应用层测量标识。
406，接入网侧把应用层测量结果发送给MCE。
接入网侧把应用层测量结果发送给MCE。例如接入网侧可以根据保存的应用层测量标识和QoE reference的对应关系及UE上报的应用层测量标识，从而获得该应用层测量结果对应的QoE reference。接入网侧再根据QoE reference查找到对应的MCE的IP地址，从而把应用层测量结果发送给MCE。或者，接入网侧根据UE上报应用层测量标识获得对应的应用层测量配置，再根据CN或OAM下发的QoE测量配置信息获得该应用层测量结果对应的MCE的IP地址，从而把应用层测量结果发送给MCE。
可选的，接入网侧可以根据UE上报的接入网侧可见的应用层指标进行优化无线资源。 比如，当某个应用层指标测量结果并不理想时，接入网侧可以给该UE分配更多的资源，或者提高该UE的调度优先级等。
可以理解的是，本申请中，考虑接入网侧的设备可以包括多种形态的结构，比如，DC，CU-DU分离等，以及UE的移动性，参与和UE通信的接入网侧的设备可以包括一个或多个，比如，采用DC架构时，接入网侧的设备可以包括MN和SN；当DC架构进一步结合以上CU-DU的架构时，MN可以为CU节点、或DU节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备，SN可以为CU节点、或DU节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备。因而，将与UE通信的接入网侧的设备统称为接入网侧进行描述。
DC也可以称为MR-DC，构成MR-DC架构的接入网设备可以包括节点1和节点2。其中，节点1为MN，节点2为SN，或者，节点1为SN，节点2为MN。
在MR-DC架构中，MN和/或SN都可以向UE下发应用层测量配置信息。举例而言，UE根据来自MN的应用层测量配置信息获得测量结果之后，可以将该测量结果发送给MN，或是，基于网络侧，比如该MN的指示，将该测量结果发送给SN。或者，UE根据来自SN的应用层测量配置信息获得测量结果之后，可以将该测量结果发送给SN，或是，基于网络侧，比如该SN的指示，将该测量结果发送给MN。
在非MR-DC结构中，如若节点1的负载比较高时，节点1可以向UE发送指示信息，指示UE暂停QoE测量的上报，即暂停QoE测量结果的上报。基于该指示信息，UE可以继续QoE测量但不上报测量结果。在暂停过程中产生的测量结果可以存储在UE的AS层，或者，存储在AS层的上层，例如应用层。
MR-DC中，节点1向UE下发QoE测量配置，后续由于该节点1的负载的原因，节点1可以通知UE通过节点2上报QoE测量结果。本申请所有实施例中，“通过节点2上报”均可以替换为“向节点2上报”。
可选的，节点2收到UE上报的QoE测量结果之后，向节点1发送从UE收到的QoE测量结果。
可选的，当节点1确定其可以处理这些QoE测量配置的测量结果时，比如，节点1的负载问题解决之后，节点1可以向节点2请求由节点2向节点1上报之前UE上报的QoE测量结果。可选的，节点2收到上述QoE测量结果后，可以转发给CN，OAM或EM。
但是，在节点1通知UE通过节点2上报节点1下发的QoE测量配置对应的测量结果后，如果后续节点2的负载超出了特定门限值，导致其无法支持该QoE测量配置对应的测量结果的接收上报。本申请针对这种情况，提出了一种QoE测量配置或应用层测量配置对应的测量结果的上报的方法，也即，应用层测量收集的方法。可以理解的是，在节点1获知UE在节点2的一个或多个服务小区的负载超出特定门限值的情况下，也可以向该UE发起暂停或恢复测量结果上报的流程，该流程和节点2发起暂停或恢复测量结果上报的流程类似，在此不予赘述。
下面将进一步结合附图详细说明本申请提供的通信方法和通信装置。
本申请的技术方案可以应用于无线通信系统中，例如，图1中所示的通信系统，或图2中所示的通信系统，或图3所示的通信系统。处于无线通信系统中的通信装置之间可具有无线通信连接关系。该通信装置中的一个装置例如可以为主基站，或者配置于该主基站中的芯片，另一个装置例如可以为辅基站，或者配置于该辅基站中的芯片，另一个装置例如可以为终端设备，或者配置于终端设备中的芯片。本申请实施例对此不做限定。
以下，不失一般性，以一个UE的通信过程为例详细说明本申请实施例。可以理解，处于无线通信系统中的任意一个UE或者配置于UE中的芯片均可以基于相同的方法进行通信，处于无线通信系统中的任意主基站或者配置于主基站中的芯片均可以基于相同的方法进行通信，处于无线通信系统中的任意辅基站或者配置于辅基站中的芯片均可以基于相同的方法进行通信。本申请对此不做限定。
以下，以节点1和节点2为例进行描述，其中，节点1可以是MN，节点2可以是SN；或者，节点1是SN，或，节点2是MN。但这并不对本申请实施例构成限定。
如图5所示，本申请的一个实施例提供的应用层测量收集的方法包括以下步骤：
501，节点1向UE发送应用层测量配置。
节点1可以称为应用层测量配置节点。节点1可以是MN，或者，SN。
可以理解的是，该步骤501与步骤402所描述的过程相同，步骤402的描述可以应用到该步骤501中。
可选的，步骤501之前还可以包括步骤500，节点1从CN，OAM，或EM等中的一项或任意多项的组合收到QoE测量配置。该步骤500和步骤401所描述的过程相同。比如关于QoE测量配置，比如，应用层测量配置，与该应用层测量配置相关的信息，透明容器的方式，非透明容器的方式，或，接入网感知相关的信息等中的一项或任意多项的组合均可以参考如图4所示的实施例中的描述，在此不予赘述。其中，接入网感知相关的信息，可以包括可感知的应用层指标，是否配置可感知的应用层指标的通知(即可见性指示)，或，是否以非感知的方式上报可感知的应用层指标等中的一项或任意多项的组合。其中，QoE测量配置可以包括应用层测量配置及该应用层测量配置相关的信息。QoE测量配置中所包括的应用层测量配置可以以透明容器的方式携带，或者，以非透明容器的方式携带。与该应用层测量配置相关的信息可以包括区域范围，测量优先级，业务类型，或，可见性指示中的一项或任意多项的组合。
节点1向UE发送从CN，OAM，或EM等中的一项或任意多项的组合收到QoE测量配置中所包括的应用层测量配置。
节点1还可以向UE发送与该应用层测量配置相关的信息中的全部或部分，比如，节点1向UE发送业务类型，而不发送区域范围。
可选的，节点1从CN，OAM，或EM等中的一项或任意多项的组合获知UE会对应用层指标进行测量之后，节点1可以通知UE上报给接入网侧，比如节点1或节点2，可以感知的应用层指标的测量结果。比如节点1可以通知UE上报接入网侧可以感知的全部或部分应用层指标的测量结果或者节点1可以通知UE上报协议中规定的接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标的测量结果，比如，如果UE当前对协议中规定的接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标进行了测量，则UE就上报这些应用层指标对应的测量结果。
可选的，节点1从CN，OAM，或EM等中的一项或任意多项的组合获得的QoE测量配置信息中的应用层测量配置可以不是container形式的，而是以接入网侧能感知的形式即非container形式。
可选的，在一些可能的实现方式中，节点1从节点2收到QoE测量配置。例如节点2可以请求节点1向UE发送QoE测量配置中的应用层测量配置，这种情况下，节点1向UE发送QoE测量配置可以视作为节点2向UE发送QoE测量配置，即，节点2通过节点1向UE发送QoE测量配置。
可选的，除了把应用层测量配置发送给UE之外，节点1还可以向UE下发一些配置信息，通知UE以接入网侧可以感知的形式，比如信息元素形式，而非container形式，上报一些应用层指标。应用层指标可以包括前面步骤401中的接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标，或，可以包括应用层指标的综合分数，接入层指标的综合分数，或者结合应用层指标和接入层指标得到的综合分数或者指示应用层指标优劣程度的指标，比如优劣程度的取值可以是好，中，差，比如基站给UE下发一些阈值，UE根据应用层指标测量结果及该应用层测量指标对应的一些阈值，从而知道上报应用层指标测量结果对应的优劣程度的指标。可选的，接入网侧可以无需向UE下发上报关于接入网侧感知的应用层指标的一些配置信息，UE在获得应用层指标之后，UE向接入网侧上报协议规定的且当前UE能获取到的一些应用层指标。
可选的，应用层测量配置可以以非container的形式，比如，信息元素形式，包括以上接入网侧可以感知的应用层指标的配置。进一步的，应用层测量配置可以不包括container形式的配置。这样，接入网侧可以自行进行应用层测量配置的下发，而不需要从CN，OAM或EM收到相应的应用层测量配置。
可选的，除了把应用层测量配置发送给UE之外，接入网侧还可以向UE下发应用层测量标识。该应用层测量标识可以是接入网侧为UE生成的，每个应用层测量标识指示接入网侧为UE配置的一个应用层测量配置。该应用层测量标识和QoE reference具有对应关系，比如，应用层测量标识可以是QoE reference中的部分信息。接入网侧可以预先保存该应用层测量标识和该QoE reference的对应关系。该应用层测量标识也可以称为无线资源控制RRC层标识。
需要说明的是，UE相应的接收来自节点1的应用层测量配置。
可选的，UE的接入层将该应用层测量配置发送给接入层的上层，比如，UE的接入层可以直接将应用层测量配置发送给上层，或者，UE的接入层可以根据该应用层测量配置获得一个新的应用层测量配置的信息，并将该新的应用层测量配置的信息发送给上层。其中，该新的应用层测量配置的信息用于指示上层进行应用层测量。
502，节点1通知UE向节点2上报节点1下发的应用层测量配置对应的测量结果。
其中，由于应用层测量配置可以称为应用层测量的配置，则应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果可以简称为应用层测量的测量结果，或，应用层测量的结果。
可以理解的是，节点1可以通知UE把其所下发的应用层测量配置中的全部或部分对应的测量结果上报给节点2。
在本申请实施例中，将上述节点1的通知所涉及的应用层测量配置统称为第一应用层测量配置，该第一应用层测量配置可以为一个或多个。第一应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果可以称为第一应用层测量的测量结果，或，第一应用层测量的结果。
第一种可能的实现方式中，节点1可以向UE发送指示信息#0，指示哪一个或哪一些应用层测量的测量结果通过节点2上报。比如，指示信息#0可以包括应用层测量配置的标识，业务类型，测量优先级，或，可见性指示等中的一项或任意多项的组合。举例而言，可以通过在指示信息#0中携带所指示的应用层测量配置的标识来进行所涉及的所述第一应用层测量配置的指示。这种情况下，节点1在步骤501中还可以向所述UE发送各个应用层测量配置的标识，该标识可以是QoE reference或应用层测量标识，以便UE知道各个应用层测量配置的标识。可以理解的是，如图4所示的实施例中的描述，QoE reference和 应用层测量标识之间存在对应关系，比如，应用层测量标识可以是QoE reference中的部分信息。又比如，可以通过在指示信息#0中携带所指示的应用层测量配置的业务类型来进行所涉及的所述第一应用层测量配置的指示。这种情况下，节点1在步骤501中还可以向所述UE发送应用层测量配置对应的业务类型，UE把从节点1收到的该业务类型的所有应用层测量配置对应的测量结果通过节点2上报。作为一个示例，当指示信息#0携带所指示的应用层测量配置的业务类型时，还可以进一步指示这些业务类型对应的测量结果向MN上报，和/或，这些业务类型对应的测量结果向SN上报。例如，指示信息#0可以用于指示UE将第一业务类型和第二业务类型对应的测量结果向MN上报，第三业务类型对应的测量结果向SN上报。再比如，可以通过在指示信息#0中携带所指示的应用层测量配置的可见性指示来进行所涉及的所述第一应用层测量配置的指示。比如，对于接入网侧可见的第一应用层测量配置，可见性指示为第一取值，比如1，对于接入网侧不可见的第一应用层测量配置，可见性指示为第二取值，比如0。这样，可以将节点1下发的对接入网侧可见的第一应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果上报给节点2，或者，将节点1下发的对接入网侧不可见的第一应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果上报给节点2，以实现节点间更精细的负载均衡。或者，可以通过在指示信息#0中携带所指示的应用层测量配置的测量优先级来进行所涉及的所述第一应用层测量配置的指示。比如，多个测量优先级对应多个取值，这样，可以将节点1下发的特定测量优先级的第一应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果上报给节点2，以实现节点间更精细的负载均衡。
作为一种可能的实现方式，该指示信息#0可以显式指示“将该应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果发送给UE的MN”或“将该应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果发送给UE的SN”。例如该指示信息#0可以为1比特(bit)的指示位，当该指示位的取值为“0”时，可以指示将该应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果发送给UE的MN，当该指示位的取值为“1”时，可以指示将QoE测量结果发送给UE的SN。或者，当该指示位的取值为“1”时，可以指示将该应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果发送给UE的MN，当该指示位的取值为“0”时，可以指示将该应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果发送给UE的SN。
作为另一种可能的实现方式，在MN和SN可以配置的应用层测量配置对应的业务类型为不同的业务类型的情况下，该指示信息#0可以隐式指示“将该应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果发送给UE的MN”或“将该应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果发送给UE的SN”。例如当指示信息#0为第一业务类型，即MN可以配置的应用层测量配置对应的业务类型，时，可以指示将该测量结果发送给UE的MN，当指示信息#0为第二业务类型时，可以指示将该测量结果发送给UE的SN。
第二种可能的实现方式中，节点1可以指示已由节点1下发给所述UE的所有的应用层测量配置对应的测量结果都通过节点2上报。
第三种可能的实现方式中，节点1可以指示某个时间段内由节点1下发给所述UE的所有的应用层测量配置对应的测量结果都通过节点2上报。
第四种可能的实现方式中，节点1可以指示通知前的由节点1下发给所述UE的X个应用层测量配置，或，通知后的由节点1下发给所述UE的Y个应用层测量配置，对应的测量结果通过节点2上报。其中，X和Y均为正整数。
可以理解的是，还可以有其他通知方式，具体是哪种通知方式，可以由协议预定义，或者，由节点1向所述UE进行指示。
可以理解的是，本申请所有实施例中的“指示A”可以包括“明确指示A”或“隐含指示A”。其中，“隐含指示A”是指通过A和B之间的对应关系，以及指示B来达到指示A的目的。其中，A和B之间的对应关系可以是协议预定义的，或者，是由收发双方中的一方配置给另一方的。
可选的，步骤502中的指示信息#0可以和步骤501中的应用层测量配置携带在同一个消息中，或者，携带在不同的消息中。携带在不同的消息中的情况下，步骤502可以在步骤501之前或之后，本实施例不予限定。
在一些可选的实施方式中，在步骤502之前，节点1和节点2之间还可以协商通过哪个节点上报测量结果。例如，节点1可以通知节点2将节点1下发的第一应用层测量配置对应的测量结果发送给节点2，或者节点2可以请求节点1将节点1下发的第一应用层测量配置对应的测量结果发送给节点2，或者节点1可以通知节点2将某一业务类型的测量结果发送给节点2,或者节点2可以请求节点1将某一业务类型的测量结果发送给节点2。
可选的，节点1和节点2之间还可以交互第一应用层测量配置对应的MCE IP地址，比如，在前述协商通过哪个节点上报测量结果过程中进行前述第一应用层测量配置对应的MCE IP地址的交互。例如，节点1请求节点2将节点1下发的第一应用层测量配置对应的测量结果发送给节点2时，节点1可以将该第一应用层测量配置对应的MCE IP地址发送给节点2。这样，节点2在接收到测量结果后，可以根据该MCE IP地址，将该测量结果发送给该MCE IP地址对应的MCE。可选的，节点1还可以把QoE reference发送节点2。这样，节点2可以把QoE reference和该QoE reference对应的测量结果发送给MCE。
503，UE基于来自所述节点1的通知向节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果。
可选的，UE在向节点2上报所述测量结果时，可以携带指示信息#1，该测量结果的标识，该测量结果对应的业务类型，该测量结果对应的测量优先级，或，该测量结果对应的可见性指示等中的一项或任意多项的组合。
可选的，该测量结果的标识可以为该测量结果所对应的第一应用层测量配置的标识，比如QoE reference或应用层测量标识。
其中，该指示信息#1用于指示该测量结果对应于节点1下发的应用层测量配置，即，是第一应用层测量配置。这样，该测量结果可以和节点2下发给UE的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果区分开。例如该指示信息#1的取值可以指示节点1对应的无线通信制式或指示节点1对于该UE而言对应的角色，比如是MN还是SN。比如，该指示信息#1的第一取值，比如0，指示MN，该指示信息#1的第二取值，比如1，指示SN。
可以理解的是，在节点1和节点2所配置的QoE测量的业务类型不同的情况下，前述测量结果对应的业务类型可以隐式指示该处理结果对应于节点1下发的应用层测量配置。因而，前述指示信息#1可以不携带。
举例而言，作为一种可能的实现方式，该指示信息#1可以显式指示“该测量结果为MN配置的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果”或“该测量结果为SN配置的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果”。例如该指示信息#0可以为1比特(bit)的指示位，当该指示位的取值为“0”时，可以指示将该测量结果为MN配置的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果，当该指示位的取值为“1”时，可以指示该测量结果为SN配置的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果。或者，当该指示位的取值为“1”时，可以指示该测量结果为SN配置的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果，当该指示位的取值为“0”时，可以指示该测量结果为 MN配置的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果。
作为另一种可能的实现方式，在MN和SN可以配置的应用层测量配置对应的业务类型为不同的业务类型的情况下，该指示信息#1可以隐式指示“该测量结果为MN配置的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果”或“该测量结果为SN配置的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果”。例如当指示信息#1为第一业务类型，即MN可以配置的应用层测量配置对应的业务类型，时，可以指示该测量结果为MN配置的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果，当指示信息#1为第二业务类型时，即，SN可以配置的应用层测量配置对应的业务类型时，可以指示该测量结果为SN配置的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果。
在来自所述节点1的通知是指示将特定的业务类型的所有应用层测量配置的测量结果上报给节点2的情况下，UE在向节点2上报前述应用层测量配置的测量结果的情况下，可以携带该测量结果对应的业务类型，而不携带该测量结果的标识，可见性指示，或，测量优先级中的一项或任意多项的组合。
在来自所述节点1的通知是指示将接入网侧可见或不可见的所有第一应用层测量配置的测量结果上报给节点2的情况下，UE在向节点2上报前述应用层测量配置的测量结果的情况下，可以携带该测量结果对应的可见性指示，而不携带该测量结果的标识，业务类型，或，测量优先级中的一项或任意多项的组合。
在来自所述节点1的通知是指示将特定测量优先级的所有第一应用层测量配置的测量结果上报给节点2的情况下，UE在向节点2上报前述应用层测量配置的测量结果的情况下，可以携带该测量结果对应的测量优先级，而不携带该测量结果的标识，业务类型，或可见性指示等中的一项或任意多项的组合。
可以理解的是，节点2收到上述第一应用层测量的测量结果后，可以通过与节点1之间的接口向节点1发送，或者，向CN，OAM或EM中的一项或任意多项的组合发送。具体可以参考如图4所示的实施例中步骤406中的描述。
步骤503之前，该方法还可以包括：UE的接入层(access stratum，AS)把从节点1接收到的应用层测量配置发送给UE的AS的上层，这些过程和步骤403中的描述相同，在此不予赘述。
步骤503中上报第一应用层测量的测量结果和前述步骤404和步骤405中的描述相同，在此不予赘述。
可选的，在上报测量结果之前，UE的接入层的上层可以获得该第一应用层测量的测量结果，例如，上层可以从应用层接收到该应用层测量结果，或者当上层为应用层时，上层可以根据第一应用层测量配置，进行应用层测量获得测量结果。然后，上层可以向接入层发送该测量结果。
示例性的，UE的上层可以按照一定的规则上报测量结果。在一些实施方式中，该规则可以包含第一应用层测量配置中，本申请实施例对此不作限定。例如，上层可以按照报告周期周期性上报测量结果，或者，在一个会话结束之后才上报测量结果，本申请实施例对此不作限定。
504，节点2向节点1发送请求信息#1,请求暂停通过节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果。
可选的，节点2可以请求节点1暂停所有由节点1向UE下发但通过节点2上报的应用层测量，即第一应用层测量，的测量结果的上报。或者，节点2可以请求节点1暂停所 有应用层测量的测量结果的上报，即，既包括节点1下发但测量结果上报给节点2的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果，又包括节点2下发且测量结果上报给节点2的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果。这种情况下，节点1可以不额外做判断，暂停所有第一应用层测量或上述所有应用层测量的测量结果的上报，或者，节点1可以额外做判断，从所有第一应用层测量或上述所有应用层测量中选择全部或部分进行暂停。
可选的，节点2可以请求节点1暂停一部分由节点1向UE下发但通过节点2上报的应用层测量，即第一应用层测量，的测量结果的上报。
可选的，节点2可以请求暂停由节点1向UE下发但通过节点2上报的非特定的第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报。这种情况下，暂停哪些第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报可以由节点1来决定。其中，节点2发出的请求信息#1可以仅指示暂停，还可以进一步的，包括指示请求暂停上报的第一应用层测量的数量的暂停数量指示#1。
可选的，节点2也可以请求暂停由节点1向UE下发但通过节点2上报的特定的第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报。这种情况下，请求信息#1可以包括该特定的第一应用层测量的配置的标识，以便节点1确定节点2请求暂停的是哪些第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报。可选的，该标识可以为QoE reference或应用层测量标识。这种情况下，节点1可以不额外做判断，暂停所有节点2请求暂停的第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报，或者，节点1可以额外做判断，从所有节点2请求暂停的第一应用层测量中选择全部或部分进行暂停。
可以理解的是，具体是以上哪种暂停，可以由协议预定义，或者，节点2和节点1预先确定，比如基于节点1，节点2或其他核心网网元的指示确定，在此不予限定。
可选的，由节点2来决定暂停哪些第一应用层测量的测量结果上报。节点2可以根据各个第一应用层测量对应的优先级来决定暂定哪些第一应用层测量对应的测量结果上报。进一步的，节点2还可以根据当前UE接入的小区的负荷来决定暂定哪些第一应用层测量的测量结果上报。可选的，在该方案中，节点1可以向节点2发送这些第一应用层测量对应的业务类型、测量优先级、QoE reference或应用层测量标识，可见性指示等中的一项或任意多项的组合。这样，节点2可以向节点1发送QoE reference或应用层测量标识，业务类型，测量优先级，可见性指示等中的一项或任意多项的组合来指示暂停哪些第一应用层测量对应的测量结果上报。例如节点2可以根据节点1发送的第一应用层测量对应的测量优先级来决定暂停哪些第一应用层测量对应的测量结果上报。又例如，节点2可以计算出当前节点2下UE的一个或多个服务小区的负荷，当节点1为MN，节点2为SN，且UE的主辅小区(primary secondary cell,PSCell)对应的负荷非常高时，节点2可以通知节点1暂停通过节点2上报的所有第一应用层测量的测量结果。其中，PSCell为SN管理的小区。当UE的PSCell对应的负荷比较高时，节点2可以选择通知节点1暂停通过节点2上报的部分第一应用层测量，比如通过优先级来选择一部分第一应用层测量。其中，测量优先级是指各个应用层测量的优先级。比如优先级越高，代表该应用层测量越重要。该测量优先级可以由配置应用层测量的节点决定，或者，也可以在CN，OAM或EM向节点发送的QoE测量配置信息中携带，这种情况下，可以由CN，OAM或EM决定应用层测量的优先级。
可选的，所述请求信息#1请求暂停通过节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果可以包括既不向节点1上报，也不向节点2上报。第一应用层测量的测量结果在暂停之后保存 在UE的AS层或AS层的上层。
可选的，所述请求信息#1请求暂停通过节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果可以通过请求通过节点1上报所述第一应用层测量的测量结果来实现。505，节点1向UE发送请求信息#2，请求暂停通过节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果。
在步骤504中，节点2向节点1请求暂停可以包括多种情况，比如暂停所有第一应用层测量的结果上报，暂停特定第一应用层测量的结果上报，暂停非特定第一应用层测量的结果上报。
在步骤505中，响应于节点2的请求信息#1，节点1可以向UE发送请求信息#2。
基于请求信息#1，节点1可以确定请求UE暂停哪些第一应用层测量的结果上报，这些第一应用层测量可以是请求信息#1所请求暂停的第一应用层测量的全部或部分。比如，节点1可以基于请求信息#1所指示的暂停所有第一应用层测量的结果上报确定暂停所有第一应用层测量的结果上报，或是，节点1可以基于请求信息#1所指示的暂停所有第一应用层测量的结果上报确定暂停所有第一应用层测量的结果上报及其他信息，比如测量优先级，业务类型，或，小区负荷等中的一项或任意多项的组合确定暂停所有第一应用层测量中的全部或部分的结果上报。或者，节点1可以基于请求信息#1所指示的暂停非特定第一应用层测量的结果上报及其他信息，比如测量优先级，业务类型，或，小区负荷等中的一项或任意多项的组合确定暂停全部或部分第一应用层测量的结果上报，或，确定暂停所有第一应用层测量的结果上报。或者，节点1可以基于请求信息#1所指示的暂停特定第一应用层测量的结果上报确定暂停该特定第一应用层测量的结果上报，或者，基于请求信息#1所指示的暂停特定第一应用层测量的结果上报及其他信息，比如测量优先级，业务类型，或，小区负荷等中的一项或任意多项的组合确定暂停该特定的第一应用层测量中的全部或部分的结果上报。
节点1可以通过前述请求信息#2向UE请求暂停节点1所确定的暂停结果上报的第一应用层测量的结果上报。
节点1向UE请求暂停结果上报的第一应用层测量可以是所有第一应用层测量。
或者，节点1向UE请求暂停结果上报的第一应用层测量是特定的第一应用层测量。这种情况下，请求信息#2可以包括特定的第一应用层测量的配置的标识，特定的第一应用层测量的配置所对应的业务类型，特定的第一应用层测量的配置所对应的测量优先级，或，特定的第一应用层测量的配置所对应的可见性指示中的一项或任意多项的组合，从而实现节点间更精细的负载均衡。该标识可以为应用层测量标识，即RRC层标识，或者，QoE reference，即全局标识。可以理解的是，本申请所有实施例中指示特定的第一应用层测量的配置是采用该特定的第一应用层测量的配置的标识，特定的第一应用层测量的配置所对应的业务类型，特定的第一应用层测量的配置所对应的测量优先级，或，特定的第一应用层测量的配置所对应的可见性指示中的哪项或哪些项，可以基于协议的定义，或是，系统的需求，在本申请中不予限定。这些项相应的描述可以参考步骤502和步骤503中的描述，不予赘述。
这样，请求信息#2满足以下中的一项：
请求信息#2包括所述至少一个第一应用层测量配置的标识，业务类型，测量优先级，或可见性指示等中的一种或多种；或，
请求信息#2请求所述UE暂停向节点2上报由节点1向UE发送的所有第一应用层测 量配置所对应的测量结果；或，
请求信息#2请求所述UE暂停向节点2上报测量结果的所有应用层测量配置，即，既包括节点1下发但测量结果上报给节点2的应用层测量配置，又包括节点2下发且测量结果上报给节点2的应用层测量配置，所对应的测量结果。
如果节点1请求暂停所有第一应用层测量的测量结果，即无需逐一指定是哪些应用层测量，且暂停过程中的测量结果是保存在UE的RRC层的上层，比如应用层，则UE的RRC层收到该请求信息#2之后，可以在给UE的RRC层的上层发送暂停指示时，携带这些第一应用层测量对应的QoE reference或应用层测量标识，这样UE的RRC层的上层可以知道具体要暂停哪些第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报。可选的，节点1还向UE发送指示信息#2，指示暂停结果上报的应用层测量是由节点1向UE下发且通过节点2上报测量结果的应用层测量，即，第一应用层测量，例如该指示信息#2的取值指示节点1对应的无线通信制式或指示节点1对于该UE而言对应的角色，比如是MN还是SN。这样，可以避免不同节点针对不同应用层测量的应用层测量标识相同的情况下，可以通过所指示的下发该应用层测量配置的节点的标识，进行该应用层测量配置的区分，从而UE可以获知暂停哪个或哪些应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果的上报。
可选的，本申请所有实施例中的暂停通过节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果可以包括以下2种暂停方式：1，UE既不通过节点1上报该第一应用层测量的测量结果，也不通过节点2上报该第一应用层测量的测量结果；2，UE从通过节点2上报该应用层测量的测量结果改成通过节点1上报该应用层测量的测量结果。可选的，可以由协议预定具体是以上2种暂停方式中的哪种。可选的，可以由节点1或节点2来决定选择以上哪一种暂停方式。以由节点1来决定为例，当节点1决定之后，节点1向节点2发送指示信息#3，指示特定或非特定应用层测量是以两种暂停方式中的哪一种进行暂停。这样，节点2后续可以基于该指示信息#3来确定后续的操作。例如，暂停方式为暂停向所有节点上报第一应用层测量的测量结果时，当节点2的负载降低到一定程度之后，节点2可以请求重新向节点2上报已暂停结果上报的第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报。如果是改成向节点1上报该第一应用层测量的测量结果，则节点2后续可以无需请求重新向节点2上报该第一应用层测量的测量结果。当节点1决定之后，节点1还可以通知UE当前的暂停是以上两种暂停方式中的哪一种。可选的，当由节点2来决定选择以上哪一种暂停方式时，节点2可以通知UE当前的暂停是以上两种暂停方式中的哪一种。进一步的，节点2还可以通知节点1当前请求的暂停是以上两种暂停方式中的哪一种。可选的，可以由节点2向节点1提供暂停方式的建议，并由节点1进一步判断是否接纳节点2建议的暂停方式。节点1可以在确定暂停方式后，通知节点2当前请求的暂停是以上两种暂停方式中的哪一种。这种情况下，由节点1通知UE所确定的暂停方式。
通过以上步骤501-505，可以实现由节点1下发的应用层测量配置的测量结果上报给节点2，并由节点2发起这些应用层测量配置，即，第一应用层测量配置，的测量结果的上报的暂停。其中，步骤503可以为可选的，比如，由于负载变化，节点2并未收到第一应用层测量配置的测量结果的上报，即，收到该测量结果的上报之前，节点2便发起了暂停流程。
进一步的，在节点2确定其可以接收更多的第一应用层测量的测量结果的情况下，节点2可以进一步发起恢复接收第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报的流程。该方法可以包括 以下步骤506和507。
506，节点2向节点1发送请求信息#3，请求恢复通过节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果。
该步骤的实现可以和步骤504中的描述类似，将步骤504中的“暂停”对应修改为“恢复”即可。比如该步骤中也可以由节点2和/或节点1来决定恢复哪一些第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报，所述请求信息#3中所请求恢复测量结果上报的第一应用层测量可以是特定的，或是，非特定的。
可选的，请求信息#3可以满足以下中的一项：
请求信息#3包括至少一个第一应用层测量配置中的全部或部分的标识，业务类型，测量优先级，或，可见性指示中的一项或任意多项的组合。比如，该标识可以为QoE reference，或，应用层测量标识；或，
请求信息#3请求恢复已暂停向节点2上报测量结果的第一应用层测量配置中非特定第一应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果，或者，请求信息#3请求恢复上报已暂停向节点2上报测量结果的所有第一应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果，或者，请求信息#3包括恢复数量指示#1，用于指示请求恢复上报的测量结果的第一应用层测量的数量，或者，请求信息#3请求恢复已暂停向节点2上报测量结果的所有应用层测量配置，即，既包括节点1下发但测量结果上报给节点2的应用层测量配置，又包括节点2下发且测量结果上报给节点2的应用层测量配置，所对应的测量结果。
507，节点1向UE发送请求信息#4，请求恢复通过节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果。
该步骤的实现可以和步骤505中的描述类似，将步骤505中的“暂停”对应修改为“恢复”即可。
节点1向UE发送请求信息#4，请求信息#4请求UE恢复向节点2上报已暂停向节点2上报测量结果的全部或部分第一应用层测量配置对应的测量结果。比如，该请求信息#4为节点1响应于所接收的请求信息#3发送的。
可选的，节点1可以通过RRC消息向UE发送请求信息#4。
可选的，请求信息#4满足以下中的一项：
请求信息#4包括所述至少一个第一应用层测量配置中全部或部分第一应用层测量配置的标识，业务类型，测量优先级，或，可见性指示中的一项或任意多项的组合；比如，该标识可以为RRC层标识，或，QoE reference；或，
请求信息#4请求UE恢复向所述第二节点上报所有应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果，所述所有应用层测量配置包括所述第一应用层测量配置；或，
请求信息#4请求恢复向节点2上报由节点1向UE发送的所有应用层测量配置，即，所有第一应用层测量配置，所对应的测量结果；或，请求信息#4请求恢复已暂停向节点2上报测量结果的所有应用层测量配置，即，既包括节点1下发但测量结果上报给节点2的应用层测量配置，又包括节点2下发且测量结果上报给节点2的应用层测量配置，所对应的测量结果。
可选的，节点1还可以向UE发送指示信息#4，指示当前是恢复由节点1向UE下发且向节点2上报测量结果的第一应用层测量的测量结果。例如该指示信息#4的取值为节点1下发且通过节点2上报，或者，该指示信息#4的取值指示节点1对应的无线通信制 式或指示节点1对于该UE而言对应的角色，比如是MN还是SN。这样，可以在不同节点下发的应用层测量配置的应用层测量标识相同的情况下，区分该应用层测量配置是由哪个节点下发的，以便正确的区分应用层测量配置。
同步骤504的描述，如果节点1是请求恢复所有向节点2上报的应用层测量配置，即第一应用层测量配置，对应的测量结果，即无需逐一指定是哪些第一应用层测量配置，且暂停过程中的测量结果可以保存在UE的RRC层的上层，则UE的RRC层收到该请求信息#4之后，在给UE的RRC层的上层发送恢复指示时，可以携带应用层测量对应的标识，该应用层测量对应的业务类型，测量优先级，或，可见性指示中的一项或任意多项的组合。举例而言，该标识可以为QoE reference或应用层测量标识，这样，UE的RRC层的上层可以知道要恢复哪些应用层测量的测量结果的上报。
上述步骤506和507中的恢复测量结果上报给节点2，也可以通过指示测量结果上报给节点2来实现，即，在信令消息中，并不明确体现“恢复”，而是通过该信令中的所涉及的应用层测量配置为之前暂停请求中所涉及的应用层测量配置中的全部或部分来体现。这种情况下，步骤506和507可以不依赖于前述步骤504和505，也即，暂停过程可以采用不同于步骤503和504所述的方式来实现，而由步骤506和507实现的恢复过程可以和不同于步骤503和504所述的暂停方式的其他暂停方式相结合。
通过上述步骤506和507，节点2可以请求已暂停的由节点1下发但向节点2上报测量结果的应用层测量配置，即，第一应用层测量配置向节点2上报测量结果。从而使得节点1和节点2的负载可以相应的进行调整或均衡。
有鉴于步骤506和507可以和前述步骤503和504解耦，在本申请实施例中，还提供了一种方法，该方法包括：
506，节点2向节点1发送请求信息#3，请求向节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果。
507，节点1向UE发送请求信息#4，请求向节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果。
其中，第一应用层测量的配置不属于节点2向UE下发的应用层测量配置，比如，为节点1向UE下发的应用层测量配置。
其中，第一应用层测量配置为已暂停向节点2上报测量结果的第一应用层测量配置。
可选的，上述暂停的过程可以参考前述步骤503和步骤504的描述，或者，由所述节点2直接向UE发出的暂停请求来实现，该方式可以参考如图6所示的实施例中的描述。
可选的，上述第一应用层测量配置及被指示向节点2上报测量结果的过程可以参考前述步骤501和502的描述，在此不予赘述。
通过本方法，可以恢复向节点2上报由节点1下发的应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果，从而实现更灵活的空口负载均衡。
可以理解的是，在节点1获知节点2中UE的一个或多个服务小区的负载超出特定门限值的情况下，也可以向该UE发起暂停或恢复测量结果上报的流程，该流程和上述节点2发起暂停或恢复测量结果上报的流程类似，比如，包括以上步骤501-503以及步骤505和/或507，具体这些步骤的描述和前述描述相同，在此不予赘述，也即不包括步骤504和/或步骤506，由节点1直接向UE发起第一应用层测量结果的上报的暂停或恢复流程。
如图5所示的实施例由节点2向节点1请求暂停或恢复第一应用层测量的结果上报，本申请还提供了另一个实施例，如图6所示，提供了一种应用层测量收集的方法包括以下 步骤：
601，节点2向UE发送请求信息#5，请求暂停通过节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果。
其中，第一应用层测量和如图5中的描述相同，即，第一应用层测量的配置不属于节点2向UE发送的应用层测量的配置。
可选的，步骤601之前可以包括如图5所示的实施例中的步骤503，即，节点2接收来自UE的第一应用层测量的测量结果，具体可以参考如图5中的描述，在此不予赘述。
可选的，步骤601之前可以包括如图5所示的实施例中的步骤501和502，即，UE接收来自节点1的第一应用层测量的配置及第一应用层测量的测量结果上报给节点2的通知。可选的，前述测量结果包括：和该测量结果对应的第一应用层测量配置的标识。
其中，第一应用层测量为节点1配置给UE但向节点2上报测量结果的应用层测量。第一应用层测量具有和其对应的配置和测量结果。第一应用层测量的配置和测量结果均可采用第一应用层测量对应的标识来标识。第一应用层测量对应的标识可以为QoE reference，即，全局标识，或者，第一应用层测量标识，即，RRC层为第一应用层测量分配的标识。
可选的，节点2可以根据UE在节点2中的服务小区的负载来决定是否暂停以及暂停哪些第一应用层测量的上报，或，暂停所有通过节点2上报的第一应用层测量对应的测量结果，即无需逐一指定是哪些第一应用层测量。
可选的，前述请求信息#5满足以下中的一项：
请求信息#5包括请求暂停上报测量结果的第一应用层测量配置的标识，业务类型，测量优先级，或，可见性指示中的一项或任意多项的组合；或，
请求信息#5请求暂停向节点2上报所有第一应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果；或，
请求信息#5包括暂停数量指示#2，用于指示请求暂停上报测量结果的第一应用层测量配置的数量。
在请求信息#5指示请求暂停上报测量结果的第一应用层测量配置的数量的情况下，可以由UE进行进一步判断，由UE从多个第一应用层测量配置中选择相应数量的第一应用层测量配置进行测量结果上报的暂停。
在步骤601之前，节点1向节点2发送第一应用层测量配置对应业务类型、测量优先级、QoE reference或应用层测量标识，或，可见性指示等中的一项或任意多项的组合。这样，节点2可以基于第一应用层测量配置的这些信息来决定暂停哪些第一应用层测量配置对应的测量结果的上报。
可选的，节点2向UE发送的前述请求信息#5中可以包括指示信息#5-1，指示信息#5-1为业务类型，QoE reference或应用层测量标识，测量优先级，或，可见性指示中的一项或任意多项的组合，用来指示暂停哪些第一应用层测量的测量结果上报。可选的，请求信息#5中还可以携带指示信息#5-2，指示暂停上报测量结果的应用层测量配置为节点1配置的，例如指示信息#5-2的取值指示节点1为UE提供服务的角色，例如MN或SN，即请求信息#5指示UE暂停节点1配置的且指示信息#5-1指示的应用层测量的测量结果的上报。
如果节点2是请求暂停所有通过节点2上报的第一应用层测量对应的测量结果，即无需逐一指定是哪些应用层测量，且暂停过程中的测量结果是保存在UE的RRC层的上层，比如应用层，则UE的RRC层收到该请求信息#5之后，可以在给UE的RRC层的上层发送暂停指示时，携带这些第一应用层测量对应的QoE reference或应用层测量标识，这样 UE的RRC层的上层可以知道具体要暂停哪些第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报。
可选的，本实施例中暂停通过节点2上报第一应用层测量的测量结果可以包括2种暂停方式：方式一，UE既不向节点1上报这些第一应用层测量的测量结果，也不向节点2上报这些第一应用层测量的测量结果；方式二，UE从向节点2上报这些第一应用层测量的测量结果改为向节点1上报这些第一应用层测量的测量结果。具体描述和如图5所示的实施例中的相同，在此不予赘述。
进一步的，该方法还可以包括步骤602，节点2向UE发送请求信息#6,请求恢复通过节点2上报已暂停上报测量结果的第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报。
可以理解的是，步骤602也可以不依赖于前述步骤601，即步骤602可以和前述步骤601所描述的暂停过程解耦，比如，步骤602的恢复过程可以和其他暂停过程相结合，其他暂停过程比如如图5所示的步骤504和505。有鉴于此，本申请实施例还提供一种方法，该方法包括：
602，节点2向UE发送请求信息#6,请求通过节点2上报已暂停上报测量结果的第一应用层测量的测量结果的上报。
可选的，该方法还包括前述步骤601，即已暂停上报测量结果的第一应用层测量基于前述步骤601指示给所述UE。
这样，可以实现已暂停向节点2上报测量结果的第一应用层测量的恢复，从而实现更灵活更精细的空口负载的调节。
其中，步骤602或步骤601的具体描述可以参考前述的描述，在此不予赘述。
可选的，节点2可以根据UE在节点2中的服务小区的负载来决定是否恢复以及恢复哪些第一应用层测量的上报，或，恢复所有通过节点2上报的第一应用层测量对应的测量结果，即无需逐一指定是哪些第一应用层测量。
可选的，请求信息#6可以满足以下中的一项：
请求信息#6包括第一应用层测量配置的标识，业务类型，测量优先级，或，可见性指示等中的一项或任意多项的组合；或，
请求信息#6请求恢复向节点2上报测量结果的应用层测量配置，比如，第一应用层测量配置，中非特定应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果；或，
请求信息#6请求恢复已暂停向节点2上报测量结果的所有应用层测量配置所对应的测量结果；或，
请求信息#6包括恢复数量指示#2，用于指示请求恢复上报测量结果的第一应用层测量的数量。
可选的，节点2向UE发送的请求信息#6中可以包括指示信息#6-1，指示信息#6-1为业务类型，QoE reference或应用层测量标识，测量优先级，或，可见性指示中的一项或任意多项的组合，用来指示恢复哪些第一应用层测量的测量结果上报。可选的，请求信息#6中还可以携带指示信息#6-2，指示恢复的是节点1配置的应用层测量，例如指示信息#6-2的取值指示节点1的角色，例如MN或SN。即请求信息#6指示UE恢复节点1配置的且指示信息#6-1指示的应用层测量的测量结果的上报。
可选的，节点2可以请求恢复所有通过节点2上报的第一应用层测量对应的测量结果，即无需逐一指定是哪些应用层测量，且暂停过程中的测量结果是保存在UE的RRC层的上层，比如应用层，则UE的RRC层收到该请求信息#6之后，在给UE的RRC层的上层 发送恢复指示时，可以携带应用层测量对应的标识，比如，应用层测量配置的标识。举例而言，该标识可以为QoE reference或应用层测量标识，这样，UE的RRC层的上层可以知道要恢复哪些应用层测量的测量结果的上报。
通过以上步骤，在节点1向UE下发应用层测量配置且通知UE向节点2上报该应用层测量的测量结果的场景下，节点2可以根据自身的需求，比如负载，来通知UE暂停向节点2上报应用层测量结果，从而满足节点2的需求。
