其中,对齐第一节点设备上的第一测量与第二节点设备相关的第二测量,可以例如为,将第一节点设备上的第一测量与第二设备接收的终端设备所发送第二测量的标识ID进行关联,或者也可以为其他形式的对齐方式,对此不做限制。

可以理解的是,会话也可以是UE应用层执行的一次应用层测量。举例而言,当UE开始一次视频业务,观看一次视频可以认为是一次会话,当会话开始,UE应用层就开始应用层相关的测量,当会话结束,UE应用层就结束应用层相关的测量。

本公开实施例中的第一测量为最小化路测MDT测量,第二测量为体验质量QoE测量。
举例而言,如图8所示,图8是本公开实施例提出的一测量关联示意图,其中,执行步骤可以举例说明如下:
步骤108,MN(主节点)向SN(辅节点)发送alignment MDT request(对齐MDT请求)信息,alignment MDT request(对齐MDT请求)信息是用于请求SN(辅节点)上的MDT测量,请求的MDT测量是用于分析QoE的,需要与QoE的测量对齐。
在一些实施例中,如果alignment MDT request(对齐MDT请求)信息针对特定UE,alignment MDT request(对齐MDT请求)经由UE associated(相关的)信令消息传输,alignment MDT request(对齐MDT请求)信息被包括在MN(主节点)发送给SN(辅节点)的S-NODE ADDITION REQUEST(S-NODE添加请求)消息、S-NODE MODIFICATION REQUEST(S-NODE修改请求)消息、S-NODE MODIFICATION CONFIRM(S-NODE修改确认)消息或其他XnAP消息中。
在另一些实施例中,如果alignment MDT request(对齐MDT请求)信息针对特定小区或基站,alignment MDT request(对齐MDT请求)信息由non(非)-UE associated(相关的)信令消息传输,alignment MDT request(对齐MDT请求)信息被包括在MN(主节点)发送给SN(辅节点)的XN SETUP REQUEST(XN设置请求)消息、XN SETUP RESPONSE(XN设置响应)消息、NG-RAN NODE CONFIGURATION UPDATE(NG-RAN节点配置更新)消息、NG-RAN NODE CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACKNOWLEDGE(Ng-ran节点配置更新确认)消息或其他non-UE associated XnAP(非UE XnAP相关)消息中。
可选的,对齐MDT请求信息中包括UE在主节点上的NG-RAN Trace ID。如果对齐MDT请求信息是由UE associated信令消息传输,NG-RAN Trace ID是基于信令MDT的NG-RAN Trace ID或者基于管理MDT的NG-RAN Trace ID;如果对齐MDT请求信息是由non-UE associated信令消息传输,NG-RAN Trace ID是基于管理MDT的NG-RAN Trace ID。
应当理解,以上仅为示例,包括alignment MDT request(对齐MDT请求)信息的消息不限于此。
步骤208,SN(辅节点)接收alignment MDT request(对齐MDT请求)信息,并考虑信息,选择UE进行MDT测量,从而能够确保SN(辅节点)选择已配置QoE测量的UE进行MDT测量,能够增加辅助QoE分析的MDT测量,有利于更准确地分析QoE问题;如果SN(辅节点)配置了MDT,SN(辅节点)向MN(主节点)发送alignment MDT response(对齐MDT响应)信息,信息可以包括以下各项中至少一项:
(1)Requirement of Application Layer Session status information(应用层对会话状态信息的要求),用于指示SN(辅节点)是否需要UE直接向SN(辅节点)发送Application Layer Session status information(会话状态信息);
(2)Report mode of Application Layer Session status information(应用层会话状态信息上报方式),如果SN(辅节点)需要UE直接向SN(辅节点)发送Application Layer Session status information(会话状态信息),Report mode of Application Layer Session status information(应用层会话状态信息上报方式)用于指示MN(主节点)如何给UE配置Application Layer Session status information(会话状态信息)的上报模式。
例如,可以是通过SRBx,其中,本公开中的SRBx是指用于在UE和SN(辅节点)之间直接传输QoE相关的信息(例如,QoE配置、QoE测量状态和/或QoE报告等)的信令无线承载,可以是SRB3,或split SRB或一种新的SRB(例如SN(辅节点)-SRB4或SRB5)等;
如果对齐MDT请求信息中包括UE在MN的第一NG-RAN Trace ID,如果SN收到来自UE的QoE 报告后,可以将接收到到的MN上的第一NG-RAN Trace ID和/或在SN上的第二NG-RAN Trace ID包括在QoE报告中,并将QoE报告发送给MCE和/或TCE。
需要注意的是,本公开实施例中的Application Layer或应用层测量也可以用QoE或QMC替换,Application Layer session和QoE session、QMC session具有相同的含义。
在一些实施例中,如果alignment MDT response(对齐MDT响应)信息针对特定UE,alignment MDT response(对齐MDT响应)由UE associated(相关的)信令消息传输,alignment MDT response(对齐MDT响应)信息被包括在MN(主节点)发送给SN(辅节点)的S-NODE ADDITION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE(s节点添加请求确认)消息、S-NODE MODIFICATION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE(s节点修改请求确认)消息、S-NODE MODIFICATION REQUEST(S-NODE修改请求)消息或其他XnAP(Xn应用协议)消息中。
在另一些实施例中,如果alignment MDT request(对齐MDT响应)信息针对特定小区或基站,alignment MDT response(对齐MDT响应)信息由non(非)-UE associated(相关的)信令消息传输,alignment MDT request(对齐MDT响应)信息被包括在MN(主节点)发送给SN(辅节点)的XN SETUP REQUEST(XN设置请求)消息、XN SETUP RESPONSE(XN设置响应)消息、NG-RAN NODE CONFIGURATION UPDATE(NG-RAN节点配置更新)消息、NG-RAN NODE CONFIGURATION UPDATE ACKNOWLEDGE(NG-RAN节点配置更新确认)消息或其他non-UE associated XnAP(非终端设备相关的Xn应用协议)消息中。
应当理解,以上仅为示例,包括alignment MDT response(对齐MDT响应)信息的消息不限于此。
步骤308,MN(主节点)向UE发送report configuration of Application Layer Session status(应用层会话状态报告配置)信息,信息用于指示UE是否需要向SN(辅节点)发送session status information(会话状态信息)和/或UE如何向MN(主节点)和/或SN(辅节点)发送session status information(会话状态信息)。如果UE AS从上层(upper layer)收到session status information(会话状态信息),UE AS根据report configuration of Application Layer Session status(应用层会话状态报告配置)信息向MN(主节点)和/或SN(辅节点)发送Application Layer Session status information(应用层会话状态信息)。
在一些实施例中,report configuration of Application Layer Session status(应用层会话状态报告配置)信息可以是一个枚举类型,例如ENUMERATED{MN(主节点),SN(辅节点),MN(主节点)+SN(辅节点),…}或ENUMERATED{SRB4,SRBx,SRB4+SRBx…},其中,如果显示SRB4(或MN(主节点))是指通过SRB4向MN(主节点)发送session status information(会话状态信息);如果显示SRBx(或SN(辅节点))是指通过SRBx向SN(辅节点)报告session status information(会话状态信息);如果显示SRB4+SRBx(或MN(主节点)+SN(辅节点))是指分别通过SRBx向SN(辅节点)和SRB4向MN(主节点)发送session status information(会话状态信息)。
在另一些实施例中,report configuration of Application layer Session status(应用层会话状态报告配置)信息可以是一串比特位,每一个比特位代表UE连接的一个网络节点(即MN(主节点)或SN(辅节点))或信令承载(SRB4或SRBx),若比特位显示为“true”,则代表UE需要向比特位对应的节点发送session status information(会话状态信息);以上仅为示例,具体的信息形式不限于此。
report configuration of Application Layer Session status(应用层会话状态报告配置)信息被包括在RRC Reconfiguration(RRC重配置)消息中传输。
步骤408,如果UE AS从upper layer收到Application Layer session status information(应用层会话状态信息),且report configuration of Application Layer Session status(应用层会话状态报告配置)信息中指示UE需要向SN(辅节点)或UE需要通过SRBx发送Application Layer session status information(应用层会话状态信息),UE通过SRBx向SN(辅节点)发送Application Layer session status information(应用层会话状态信息)。
SN(辅节点)接收到Application Layer session status information(应用层会话状态信息)后,根据Application Layer session status information(应用层会话状态信息),开始或停止MDT测量。在一些实现方式中,停止MDT测量可以是SN通过通知OAM,OAM发起停止MDT测量,或者也可以是SN直接停止MDT测量。
例如,如果在Application Layer session status information(应用层会话状态信息)中显示started或on-going;SN(辅节点)开始MDT测量,如果在Application Layer session status information(应用层会话状态信息)中显示stopped或notstarted,则SN(辅节点)停止MDT测量。
其中,在一些实施例中,停止MDT测量是由OAM发起的,即SN(辅节点)将Application Layer session status information(应用层会话状态信息)转发给OAM,如果Application Layer session status information(应用层会话状态信息)显示为stopped,OAM向SN(辅节点)发送停止MDT测量;在另一些实施例中,SN(辅节点)可以直接停止UE的MDT的测量,能够保证在SN(辅节点)上的MDT测量与UE侧的QoE测量在时间维度上对齐,有利于根据MDT辅助分析QoE问题或者根据QoE辅助分析MDT问题,从而更准确地定位问题,优化网络。
本公开实施例支持在双连接(Dual Connectivity,DC)场景下,网络向UE配置UE上报会话状态的不同方式,既能让网络根据情况灵活地配置会话状态的上报,同时,能让UE直接向SN(辅节点)上报会话状态,减少信令的传输时延,使MDT和QoE在时间上的对齐更加精准,更有利于分析和定位网络问题。

MCE根据收到的QoE report中的NG-RAN Trace ID(s)查询或检索到对应时刻的MDT report,并将两种report进行关联分析,用于分析QoE的问题。
通过本公开的方法,能确保在CU-DU分离架构下或DC场景下,所有需要关联QoE测量的子节点或辅节点都能够向接收UE QoE report的节点(例如MN(主节点)或CU-CP)发送这些子节的或辅节点生成的Trace ID,以便接收UE QoE report的节点将子节的或辅节点生成的Trace ID(s)包括在发送给MCE的QoE report中,这样,MCE就能通过这些Trace ID(s)将QoE report和其对应的子节点或辅节点上的MDT report关联起来,进行优化分析和问题定位,从而能够更好地优化网络和解决UE问题,提升用户体验和忠诚度。
