Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication technology, and in particular to a method for sending experience quality information, a terminal, and a network-side device. Background Art

[0002] Quality of Experience (QoE) refers to users' overall subjective perception of the quality and performance (including effectiveness and availability) of devices, networks, systems, applications, or services. It is defined by the user's comfort level with the service application. Using QoE scoring, operators can optimize their networks based on users' comprehensive evaluation of video service quality and performance. Many factors influence QoE, including end-to-end network Quality of Service (QoS) metrics such as latency, jitter, bandwidth, and bit errors, as well as terminal device capabilities and the quality of the video source.

[0003] In the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, QoE optimization is triggered by the network management system. Specifically, the network triggers a QoE report, which then flows through the network management system, base station, UE access layer, UE application layer, UE access layer, base station, and network management, ultimately triggering the corresponding optimization. This method has a long overall processing loop, involves many network elements, and cannot quickly and real-timely adjust QoE, affecting the user experience.

[0004] In the future, more new services, new scenarios, and new user demands will emerge. Networks will need to further enhance their perception capabilities to provide users with optimal service quality and experience based on their needs. Discussions on QoE reporting are just beginning in NR, given the increasingly diverse and personalized services offered by the subsequent sixth-generation mobile communications (6G).

[0067] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A block diagram of a wireless communication system to which embodiments of the present application can be applied is shown. The wireless communication system includes a terminal 11 and a network side device 12. The terminal 11 can also be referred to as a user terminal or a user equipment (UE), and the terminal 11 can be a terminal side device such as a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile Internet device (MID), a wearable device, or a vehicle-mounted device, and it should be noted that the specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The network side device 12 can be a base station and / or a core network element, and the base station can be a base station of 5G and later versions (e.g., gNB, 5G NR NB, etc.) or a base station in other communication systems (e.g., eNB, WLAN access point, or other access points, etc.), and the base station can be referred to as a node B, an evolved node B, an access point, a base transceiver station (BTS), a radio base station, a radio transceiver, a basic service set (BSS), an extended service set (ESS), a node B, an evolved node B (eNB), a home node B, a home evolved node B, a WLAN access point, a WiFi node, or some other suitable terminology in the art, provided that the same technical effect is achieved, and the base station is not limited to a specific technical term, and it should be noted that only the base station in the NR system is taken as an example in the embodiments of the present application, but the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0068] The base station can communicate with the terminal 11 under the control of a base station controller, which in various examples can be part of the core network or certain base stations. Some base stations can communicate control information or user data with the core network via a backhaul. In some examples, some of these base stations can communicate with each other directly or indirectly via a backhaul link, which can be a wired or wireless communication link. The wireless communication system can support operation on multiple carriers (waveform signals of different frequencies). A multi-carrier transmitter can transmit modulated signals on these multiple carriers simultaneously. For example, each communication link can be a multi-carrier signal modulated according to various radio technologies. Each modulated signal can be sent on a different carrier and can carry control information (e.g., reference signals, control channels, etc.), overhead information, data, etc.

[0069] The base station can communicate wirelessly with the terminal 11 via one or more access point antennas. Each base station can provide communication coverage for its respective coverage area. The coverage area of ​​an access point can be divided into sectors that constitute only a portion of the coverage area. A wireless communication system may include different types of base stations (e.g., macro base stations, micro base stations, or pico base stations). The base stations may also utilize different radio technologies, such as cellular or WLAN radio access technologies. The base stations may be associated with the same or different access networks or operator deployments. The coverage areas of different base stations (including coverage areas of the same or different types of base stations, coverage areas utilizing the same or different radio technologies, or coverage areas belonging to the same or different access networks) may overlap.

[0070] The communication link in the wireless communication system may include an uplink for carrying uplink (UL) transmission (e.g., from the terminal 11 to the network-side device 12), or a downlink for carrying downlink (DL) transmission (e.g., from the network-side device 12 to the terminal 11). UL transmission may also be referred to as reverse link transmission, while DL transmission may also be referred to as forward link transmission. Downlink transmission may be performed using a licensed frequency band, an unlicensed frequency band, or both. Similarly, uplink transmission may be performed using a licensed frequency band, an unlicensed frequency band, or both.

[0071] As described in the background, the future will see the emergence of more new services, new scenarios, and new user demands. Networks will need to further enhance their perception capabilities to provide users with optimal service quality and user experience based on their needs. Therefore, the network needs to have a corresponding mechanism to make real-time adjustments after receiving QoE information to improve user QoE. As a crucial component of QoE, the wireless side can directly improve QoE by adjusting access network scheduling and resource allocation.

[0072] Medium Access Control (MAC) layer as the implementer of scheduling resource allocation in the access network, directly affects the end-to-end QoS indicators and QoE experience. Unlike the traditional MAC scheduling, the embodiment of the present application proposes a scheme of QoE optimization at the MAC layer, and gives the process of terminal QoE information actively reporting to the MAC layer. Through the process, the MAC layer can use the QoE information of the terminal, select a new scheduling algorithm for scheduling in combination with the artificial intelligence mode, on the other hand, the MAC layer can perceive the QoE experience of the UE in real time, and intervene in advance for QOE degradation, and optimize the QoE of the UE.

[0073] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application adds QoE / QoS control, monitoring and recovery functions on the basis of the existing MAC function.

[0074] Specifically, at the MAC layer of the base station, the QoE / QoS control, monitoring and recovery functions include at least one of the following contents:

[0075] 1) The base station side MAC sends a QoE request MAC control unit (Control Element, CE) for requesting the UE to report the measurement results of QoE.

[0076] 2) Obtain QoE information through a QoE report MAC control unit.

[0077] 3) The MAC adjusts the scheduling priority and logical channel priority of the logical channel corresponding to the service of the UE according to the QoE information.

[0078] 4) According to the QoE scheduling request reported by the terminal, resources are allocated for the terminal.

[0079] 5) After receiving the QoE control unit sent by the terminal, a QoE acknowledgment control unit is sent to the terminal, which is used to indicate that the QoE control unit sent by the terminal is successfully received.

[0080] At the MAC layer of the terminal side, the QoE / QoS control, monitoring and recovery functions include at least one of the following contents:

[0081] 1) The terminal detects the QoE quality, triggers the QoE active reporting, and generates the indication information of the QoE state which is saved locally. The indication information of the QoE state can be the score of QoE or other quantitative information.

[0082] 2) Generate a QoE report MAC control unit according to the network request or the QoE reporting demand of the terminal.

[0083] 3) According to the uplink authorization information and the uplink data priority, the QoE report MAC control element is sent. If there are currently uplink resources to send and the uplink resources can carry the transmission of the QoE report MAC control element, the QoE report MAC control element is sent directly.

[0084] 4) If there is currently no uplink resource carrying the QoE reporting MAC control unit, the terminal triggers a scheduling request corresponding to the QoE to apply for uplink resources.

[0085] 5) Uplink data multiplexing priority: If the current uplink resources can only meet partial uplink transmission, the uplink data is multiplexed according to the data multiplexing priority.

[0086] The following describes the classification, priority, and corresponding scheduling request of the QoE MAC control unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0087] A QoE MAC control unit according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the value of the QoE reporting flag can also be divided into two categories, one is terminal triggered, which is also called terminal triggered QoE reporting MAC CE in this article, such as Figure 3 The other type is network triggered, which is also called network (base station) triggered QoE reporting MAC CE, such as Figure 4 As shown. The QoE MAC control units triggered by the terminal and the network (base station) correspond to different MAC control unit identifiers, that is, they have different LCID values. For example, Figure 3 When the LCID in the MAC CE flag indicates that the terminal triggers QoE reporting, the value can be 50; Figure 3 When the LCID in indicates that the network (base station) triggers the QoE reporting MAC CE identifier, the value can be 51.

[0088] In addition, preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, when uplink data is multiplexed, the priority of the QoE report MAC control unit triggered by the terminal is higher than the priority of the QoE report MAC control unit triggered by the network.

[0089] When the uplink resource cannot carry the QoE sending, the terminal can send a scheduling request corresponding to the QoE report MAC control element to trigger the uplink scheduling. The base station can configure a set of SR configurations for the QoE report by sending an RRC message, and the SR configuration indicates the mapped physical layer resource. The terminal sends the QoE report MAC control element on the physical layer resource, and the base station detects the QoE report MAC control element on the physical layer resource. After receiving the QoE report MAC control element sent by the terminal, the base station generates a QoE confirmation MAC control element and sends it to the terminal. The terminal can decide whether to retransmit the QoE report MAC control element according to whether the QoE confirmation MAC control element is received. One format of the QoE confirmation MAC control element is shown in Figure 5

[0090] The interaction process of the QoE information of the embodiment of the application is introduced below.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 6 The embodiment of the application provides a QoE information sending method, which comprises the following steps when applied to the terminal side:

[0092] In step 61, the terminal detects the QoE of the first service and generates the QoE information of the first service.

[0093] Here, the MAC layer of the terminal detects the QoE of the first service and generates the QoE information of the first service.

[0094] In step 62, the terminal sends the QoE information of the first service to the network through a first MAC CE.

[0095] Here, the first MAC CE carries the QoE information of the first service. The first MAC CE can be the QoE report MAC control element mentioned above. The MAC CE identifier of the first MAC CE is used to indicate that the MAC CE is the MAC CE for reporting the QoE information. As mentioned above, the first MAC CE can include a terminal triggered MAC CE and a network triggered MAC CE, wherein the terminal triggered MAC CE is the MAC CE actively reported by the terminal, the network triggered MAC CE is the MAC CE reported by the terminal according to the network request, and the priority of the terminal triggered MAC CE is higher than that of the network triggered MAC CE.

[0096] In addition, in order to distinguish different types of triggering modes, the terminal triggered MAC CE and the network triggered MAC CE can have different MAC CE identifiers. Of course, the same MAC CE identifier can also be used in the embodiment of the application. The MAC CE identifier can be represented by the LCID mentioned above. ​

[0097] Through the above steps, the embodiment of the present invention starts from QoE optimization and proposes a solution for QoE management at the MAC layer. By introducing QoE management at the MAC layer, the terminal can send QoE information to the network through the MAC control unit, so that the network can directly obtain the user's QoE information, and then adjust the scheduling dynamically in real time according to the user's QoE information, so as to better ensure QoE. In addition, after obtaining the QoE information, an AI-based scheduling algorithm can be adopted in the MAC, and a new scheduling method can be introduced to optimize the user's QoE performance. The embodiment of the present invention can quickly correct the deterioration of QoE, and at the same time truly introduces on-demand service processing, which can better adapt to the diversified services of 6G.

[0098] In the scenario where a network-triggered QoE reporting MAC CE is used, before step 61, the terminal may also receive a second MAC CE sent by the network, the second MAC CE being used to request QoE information for the first service. The terminal then executes step 61 according to the second MAC CE.

[0099] In step 62, the terminal determines, based on the uplink grant information, a first uplink resource that can be used to carry the first MAC CE, and transmits the first MAC CE using the first uplink resource. If no uplink resource is currently available to carry the first MAC CE, the terminal may further transmit a scheduling request corresponding to QoE to the network, where the scheduling request is used to request an uplink resource for transmitting the first MAC CE. The terminal then receives configuration information for a second uplink resource allocated by the network in response to the scheduling request, and transmits the first MAC CE using the second uplink resource.

[0100] When the terminal uses the first uplink resource or the second uplink resource to send the first MAC CE, the terminal sends the first MAC CE based on the priority of each MAC CE to be sent on the first uplink resource or the second uplink resource and the priority of the uplink data. In other words, a MAC CE or uplink data with a higher priority will preferentially obtain uplink resources and be sent first.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present invention, the network can also indicate to the terminal that the first MAC CE has been received through the MAC control unit (such as the third MAC CE). At this time, the terminal receives the third MAC CE sent by the network, thereby determining that the network has successfully received the first MAC CE.

[0102] Figure 7 The process of receiving the QoE information provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a network side device, which can generally be a base station, such as Figure 7 Shown, including:

[0103] Step 71: The network-side device receives a first MAC CE sent by the terminal.

[0104] Here, the first MAC CE carries the QoE information of the first service. The MAC CE identifier of the first MAC CE is used to indicate that this MAC CE is a MAC CE for reporting QoE information. Specifically, the first MAC CE includes a terminal-triggered MAC CE and a network-triggered MAC CE, wherein the terminal-triggered MAC CE is a MAC CE actively reported by the terminal, and the network-triggered MAC CE is a MAC CE reported by the terminal according to a network request, and the priority of the terminal-triggered MAC CE is higher than that of the network-triggered MAC CE. In addition, the terminal-triggered MAC CE and the network-triggered MAC CE have the same or different MAC CE identifiers.

[0105] Step 72: The network-side device obtains QoE information of the first service from the first MAC CE.

[0106] Here, the MAC layer of the network side device can obtain the QoE information of the first service from the first MAC CE sent by the terminal, and then the MAC layer of the network side device can adjust the scheduling of the first service according to the user's QoE information, and send the updated scheduling information of the first service to the terminal, thereby realizing real-time dynamic scheduling adjustment, and better QoE guarantee. In addition, after obtaining the QoE information, an AI-based scheduling algorithm can be adopted at the MAC layer, and a new scheduling method can be introduced to optimize the user's QoE performance. The embodiment of the present invention can quickly correct the deterioration of QoE, and at the same time truly introduces on-demand service processing, which can better adapt to the diversified services of 6G.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present invention, the network side device may trigger reporting of the above-mentioned QoE information. In this case, before the above-mentioned step 71, the network side device may send a second MAC CE to the terminal, where the second MAC CE is used to request QoE information of the first service.

[0108] In addition, the network-side device may also allocate uplink resources for transmitting QoE information to the terminal based on the terminal's request. For example, the network-side device receives a scheduling request corresponding to QoE sent by the terminal, and then allocates a second uplink resource for transmitting QoE information to the terminal based on the scheduling request, and sends configuration information for the second uplink resource to the terminal. Thus, in step 72 above, the network-side device may receive the first MAC CE on the second uplink resource.

[0109] After receiving the first MAC CE, the network side device may further send a third MAC CE to the terminal, where the third MAC CE is used to indicate that the network has received the first MAC CE, thereby completing confirmation of the reception.

[0110] Figure 8 This section provides a schematic diagram of the interaction between the MAC layer of the network-side device and the MAC layer of the terminal-side, including:

[0111] Step 81: The terminal MAC layer generates QoE information of the service.

[0112] In step 82, the terminal MAC layer determines whether the current uplink resources can carry the QoE report, which carries the above-mentioned QoE information. If yes, it proceeds to step 85, otherwise it proceeds to step 83.

[0113] Step 83: The MAC layer of the terminal sends a scheduling request for the QoE report to the network, requesting the network to allocate uplink resources for sending the QoE report.

[0114] In step 84 , after receiving the scheduling request, the MAC layer of the network side device allocates uplink resources for sending the QoE report to the terminal, and sends an uplink scheduling message to the terminal to indicate the allocated uplink resources, and then proceeds to step 85 .

[0115] Step 85: The MAC layer of the terminal uses uplink resources to send a QoE report. The QoE report may be a QoE report triggered by the terminal or the network side.

[0116] Step 86: After receiving the QoE report, the MAC layer of the network side device replies to the terminal with a MAC CE indicating successful reception of the QoE report.

[0117] In step 87, the MAC layer of the network side device updates the scheduling information of the service according to the received QoE report, and sends the updated scheduling information to the MAC layer of the terminal, thereby implementing the scheduling update of the service.

[0118] Through the above steps, the embodiment of the present invention can quickly respond to QoE reports at the MAC layer, so that QoE deterioration can be quickly corrected and it can better adapt to the diversified services of 6G.
