[0079] The existing QoE feedback mechanism is triggered by network management. The base station sends the QoE measurement configuration to the terminal according to the configuration of the network management, and the terminal carries the QoE measurement report in the radio resource control (RRC) message according to the measurement configuration. The base station sends the corresponding measurement report to the network management after receiving the measurement report, and the network management monitors the QoE. The current scheme faces some problems:

[0080] (1) The terminal cannot actively report the QoE report to the base station when the QoE quality decreases. Through Figure 1The QoE procedure can be seen that the existing QoE mechanism is triggered by the network side to report, and the terminal reports QoE according to the configuration of the network. In this scheme, the network can obtain the QoE information of the terminal, but if the base station does not configure the corresponding QoE reporting configuration when the terminal QoE perception is poor, the terminal cannot actively report QoE, which will directly affect the user's perception.

[0081] (2) The guarantee of QoE in the network needs the full cooperation of the base station, such as the modification of the mapping scheme of the Quality of Service (QoS) flow to the Data Radio Bearer (DRB), the guarantee of QoS by scheduling and resource allocation. In the existing scheme, the guarantee of QoE through network management will face the problems of long adjustment time, adjustment lag, and inability to quickly and real-time perceive and adjust QoE.

[0082] (3) The current QoE only supports Virtual Reality (VR), streaming services and Multimedia Telephony Services over IMS (MTSI) services based on IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). In the future, more new services, new scenes and new user demands will appear, and the network needs to further improve the perception ability to provide the best service quality and experience guarantee for users. Therefore, the network side needs a corresponding mechanism to obtain QoE information, and the network side, especially RAN, can use the feedback information of QoE as a reference for access network scheduling and resource allocation.

[0083] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in the following with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0084] The term "comprising" and any variation thereof in the specification and claims of the present application is intended to cover not exclusively including, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices. In addition, "and / or" is used in the specification and claims to mean at least one of the connected objects, for example, A and / or B means three cases including single A, single B and A and B.

Any embodiment or design solution described in the embodiments of the present application as "exemplary" or "for example" should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. In fact, the word "exemplary" or "for example" is used to present concepts in a concrete manner.

[0086] It is worth pointing out that the technology described in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, but can also be used in other wireless communication systems, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) and other systems. The terms "system" and "network" in the embodiments of the present application are often used interchangeably, and the described technology can be used in the above-mentioned systems and radio technologies, as well as other systems and radio technologies. However, the following description describes a New Radio (NR) system for the purpose of example, and NR terminology is used in most of the following description, although these technologies can also be applied to applications other than NR system applications, such as 6th Generation (6G) communication systems.

[0087] Referring to Figure 3 The embodiments of the present application provide a QoE feedback method, and the specific steps include steps 301, 302 and 303.

[0088] Step 301: The terminal acquires QoE information;

[0089] For example, the access layer of the terminal requests the application layer to collect QoE information;

[0090] The application layer feeds back the QoE information to the access layer;

[0091] Step 302: The terminal determines a QoE quantization value according to the QoE information;

[0092] Step 303: The terminal sends the QoE quantization value to the network side.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, a QoE processing function is added at the terminal side, and the QoE processing function includes:

[0094] (1) According to the QoE evaluation of the application layer or / and the access layer of the terminal, the QoE is quantized in combination with the quantization table of QoE (such as Table 1 and Table 2).

[0095] (2) The terminal can actively trigger the sending of the QoE state according to the QoE information.

[0096] (3) Assemble the QoE state report packet and send the QoE state report packet.

[0097] The QoE processing function module can be located in the Media Access Control (MAC) layer, or in the highest layer of the Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) layer or the user plane protocol layer. As shown in Figure 4 , a QoE processing function is added in the MAC-control.

[0098] As shown in Figure 5 , a QoE processing function is added in the QoE-control in the SDAP.

[0099] In the embodiments of the present application, the access layer of the terminal determines the QoE quantization value according to the QoE information.

[0100] For example, the QoE quantization value corresponding to the QoE information is determined by a protocol agreement or a configured quantization processing method.

[0101] In the embodiments of the present application, the quantization processing method can include one of the following:

[0102] (1) The corresponding relationship between the QoE information and the index value;

[0103] (2) Uniformly normalizing the obtained multiple QoE information.

[0104] For example, the terminal detects the parameters of QoE, such as service interruption time, video quality, and data volume transmitted within a certain period of time, etc. The QoE information detected by the terminal is quantized by defining in advance in the protocol or by configuration, as shown in Table 1 and Table 2. Through quantization, the transmission of air interface data can be reduced, the amount of data to be transmitted can be reduced, and the control efficiency can be improved.

[0105] Table 1: Quantization table corresponding to throughput

[0106]

[0107] For example, if the acquired QoE information is throughput of 32, the QoE quantization value is 3 based on the above table.

[0108] Table 2: Quantization table corresponding to interruption time

[0109]

[0110] For example, if the acquired QoE information is interruption time of 120, the QoE quantization value is 6 based on the above table.

[0111] For the case of monitoring multiple QoE parameters simultaneously, a unified normalization processing is adopted to quantize the overall QoE. For example: QoE1 represents the QoE quantization value corresponding to type 1, and the overall QoE quantization value is obtained by weighted average in the following formula.

[0112] QoE total = K1 × QoE1 + K2 × QoE2 + … + K N × QoE N , K1 + K2 + … + K N = 1

[0113] For example, if the acquired QoE information is throughput of 32, the QoE quantization value is 3 based on the above table, K1 = 0.5, if the acquired QoE information is interruption time of 120, the QoE quantization value is 6 based on the above table, K2 = 0.5, then QoE total = 3 × 0.5 + 6 × 0.5 = 4.5.

[0114] The terminal sends the QoE quantization value to the network side through QoE quantization, and the network side optimizes QoE using the feedback QoE quantization value.

[0115] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal sends the QoE quantization value to the network side under the condition of meeting the reporting trigger event and / or reporting period.

[0116] In the embodiments of the present application, the method can further include:

[0117] The terminal receives a first data packet (or referred to as a QoE request control packet), which is sent by the network side in the form of a control data packet, and is used to trigger the terminal QoE reporting.

[0118] Optionally, the first data packet includes one or more of the following:

[0119] (1) a data packet identifier, indicating that the first data packet is a data packet for configuring the terminal to report QoE;

[0120] (2) a reporting trigger event;

[0121] (3) a reporting period;

[0122] (4) a service type, indicating the type of service corresponding to which the terminal is configured to report QoE;

[0123] (5) a QoE type, indicating the type of QoE that the terminal is configured to report.

[0124] Referring to Figure 6 , an example of the format of the first data packet is shown. Taking the first data packet as an example of a QoE request control packet, the QoE request control packet can be a media access control (MAC) status report packet or a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer status report packet, or can be a status report packet of a subsequent user plane uppermost layer.

[0125] The QoE request control packet identifier is used to mark the current protocol data unit (PDU) as a QoE request control packet. The reporting trigger event configuration refers to the condition for triggering the QoE status report, including event triggering, such as service interruption time exceeding a threshold, throughput being lower than a certain threshold, packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) data packets being discarded due to a discard timer timeout, etc. The reporting period configuration is a period trigger (reporting according to the configured reporting period).

[0126] Optionally, the reporting trigger time configuration and the reporting period configuration can be notified alternatively. The service type refers to the service corresponding to which the QoE is reported. The QoE type refers to the type of QoE that needs to be reported. In the QoE request control packet, multiple service types and QoE types can be carried to allow the terminal to report.

[0127] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal sends the QoE quantization value, including:

[0128] The access layer of the terminal sends a second data packet (or referred to as a QoE status report packet) according to the configuration or the terminal actively sending the second data packet to the network side, the second data packet carrying the QoE quantization value.

[0129] Optionally, the second data packet is sent in the form of a control data packet.

[0130] In the embodiments of the present application, the second data packet further carries one or more of the following:

[0131] (1) a data packet identifier, indicating that the second data packet is a data packet for reporting QoE of a terminal;

[0132] (2) a service type, indicating a type of a service corresponding to the reported QoE;

[0133] (3) a QoE total quantization value, indicating an overall quantization result of multiple QoE information;

[0134] (4) QoE information.

[0135] Taking a second data packet QoE status report packet as an example, referring to Figure 7 , the QoE status packet identifier indicates that the current PDU is a QoE status report, the service type indicates a service type corresponding to the current QoE status report, the QoE total quantization value is an overall evaluation result of multiple QoE parameters, the QoE parameter corresponds to a reporting type of the QoE, and the QoE quantization value refers to a QoE quantization result of the QoE parameter, with reference to a corresponding index (index) in a QoE quantization table. The QoE status report supports classified transmission of QoE evaluation results. The control data packet can support QoE feedback for one or more service types. The QoE parameter refers to a currently fed back QoE parameter, such as delay, service interruption, bandwidth, etc. The format supports reporting of multiple service types, and also supports reporting of a single QoE parameter under a unified service type, with flexibility. In the embodiments of the present application, the method can further include: receiving a configuration of an adjusted QoS from a network side, the configuration of the adjusted QoS being determined by the network side according to the QoE quantization value.

[0136] In the embodiments of the present application, a terminal adds a QoE processing function and a QoE feedback control data packet.

[0137] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal can actively send a QoE quantization value to the network side. Through quantization, the transmission of air interface data can be reduced, the amount of data to be transmitted can be reduced, and the control efficiency can be improved. Moreover, when the QoE of the terminal deteriorates, the network side can adjust resources in real time according to the QoE quantization value reported by the terminal, so as to achieve the purpose of optimizing the QoE of the terminal.

[0138] Referring to Figure 8 , the embodiments of the present application provide a QoE feedback method, which specifically includes: step 801.

[0139] Step 801: a base station receives a QoE quantization value sent by a terminal, the QoE quantization value being obtained by the terminal through quantization processing according to QoE information.

[0140] Optionally, the method further comprises: determining one or more of the following according to the QoE quantization value: a QoS parameter, a mapping relationship of a QoS flow to a data radio bearer, and a manner of scheduling and resource allocation.

[0141] In the embodiments of the present application, the base station adds a QoE processing function. The QoE processing function of the base station comprises:

[0143] (2) analyzing a QoE status report reported by the terminal, and giving recommended QoS parameters, a mapping relationship of a QoS flow to a data radio bearer, and a manner of scheduling and resource allocation according to the QoE status report.

[0144] In the embodiments of the present application, the base station receives a second data packet sent by the terminal in access layer according to configuration or actively, and the second data packet carries the QoE quantization value.

[0145] Optionally, the second data packet is sent by the terminal in the form of a control data packet.

[0148] (2) a service type, indicating a type of a service corresponding to the reported QoE;

[0149] (3) a QoE total quantization value, indicating an overall quantization result of multiple QoE information;

[0150] (4) QoE information.

[0151] In the embodiments of the present application, the method further comprises:

[0152] The base station sends a first data packet in the form of a control data packet, and the first data packet is used to trigger the terminal to report QoE.

[0153] Optionally, the first data packet comprises one or more of the following:

[0154] (1) a data packet identifier, indicating that the first data packet is a data packet for configuring the terminal to report QoE;

[0155] (2) a reporting trigger event;

[0156] (3) a reporting period;

[0157] (4) service type, indicating the type of service corresponding to the QoE reported by the terminal;

[0158] (5) QoE type, indicating the type of QoE reported by the terminal.

[0159] In the embodiment of the present application, the UE actively reports the QoE quantization value, and after the base station receives the QoE quantization value, the base station can adjust the QoS parameter, adjust the scheduling and resource allocation according to the QoE situation, thereby improving the QoE of the UE.

[0160] Referring to Figure 9 , the flow of the terminal-base station-core network end-to-end closed loop control in the embodiment of the present application, the specific steps are as follows:

[0161] Step 1: The access layer (AS) of the terminal collects QoE information to the application layer of the terminal;

[0162] Step 2: The application layer of the terminal feeds back the QoE information to the access layer (AS) of the terminal, and the access layer (AS) of the terminal performs QoE quantization processing according to the QoE information;

[0163] Step 3: The access layer of the terminal sends the QoE state report packet corresponding to the QoE quantization value to the base station;

[0164] Step 4: The base station adjusts the QoS according to the QoE quantization value, and obtains the recommended QoS configuration;

[0165] Step 5: The base station sends the recommended QoS configuration to the core network;

[0166] Step 6: The core network updates the QoS configuration to the base station and the terminal according to the recommended QoS configuration provided by the base station.

[0167] Based on this flow, the terminal-base station-core network end-to-end closed loop control can be realized, and since the terminal can actively send the QoE state PDU, the adjustment can be made in real time when the QoE deteriorates.
