The content involved in the solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is first introduced below.

1. QoE measurement process

The NR protocol defines two types of QoE measurements:

One is signaling based. The process is that the OAM sends the QoE configuration to the core network (Core Network, CN), the core network sends the QoE configuration to the RAN side, and the RAN side forwards the QoE configuration to the UE. In this case The configuration is UE specific.

The other is management based. The process is that the OAM directly sends the QoE configuration to the RAN side, and the RAN side forwards the QoE configuration to the UE. In this case, it is currently configured for multiple UEs. In the two system frameworks of signaling-based and management-based QoE measurement configurations, the QoE configuration process and configuration parameters sent by the RAN side to the UE are the same, and both are sent to the UE through RRC signaling.

After the Access Stratum (AS) layer of the UE receives the QoE configuration through the RRC message, the AS layer will send the QoE configuration to the application layer through the directory defined by the AT command. When the service of the corresponding service type starts to occur, , the application layer starts to measure according to the configuration file and generates a measurement QoE report according to the configuration conditions. Once the QoE measurement report is generated, the UE's application layer sends the QoE report to the UE's AS layer through the AT command, and the UE's AS will immediately send the QoE to the RAN through an RRC message. RAN sends the report to the corresponding server corresponding to the IP address defined in the configuration file, thereby completing the QoE configuration and measurement report collection process.

2. Establishment and support of Dual Connection (DC)

As shown in Figure 1, the terminal can work in a dual connection state in the NR system and connect to two nodes at the same time, namely the primary node MN and the secondary node SN. When the terminal is connected to the MN, it transmits control plane signaling through signaling radio bearer (SRB) 1 and SRB2. When the terminal is connected to the SN, it uses signaling radio bearer SRB3 to transmit control plane signaling.

Currently, in the case of dual connectivity DC, RAN visible QoE reports configured for the SN cannot be transmitted to the SN.

Based on the above, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a quality of experience report transmission method, device, terminal, SN and MN to solve the problem that the RAN visible QoE report configured for the SN cannot be transmitted to the SN.
