Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to an information measurement control method and apparatus. Background Art

[0002] In the 3GPP Release 17 version, QoE (Quality of Experience) measurement is introduced, and the introduction of this measurement is based on the existing Trace (tracking) function framework.

[0003] The introduction of the Trace function is as follows:

[0004] The Trace function is triggered by a management station and is used to track messages inside network elements and on interfaces. It is divided into administratively activated Trace and signaling-activated Trace. For a base station, the administratively activated Trace is directly sent from the management station to the base station to trigger the base station to collect measurements. For the signaling-activated Trace, the management station sends it to the core network, and then the core network sends it to the base station through interface messages to trigger the collection of measurement information.

[0005] In the signaling activation message sent from the core network to the base station through the interface, the main Trace parameters included are: base station Trace ID, Trace interface, Trace depth, IP address of the Trace data collection entity, and MDT (Minimal DriveTest) related configurations, etc. For an EPC (Evolved Packet Core) system base station, the Trace ID is the E-UTRAN Trace ID; if it is a 5GC (5G Core Network) system base station, the Trace ID is the NG-RAN Trace ID. The base station Trace ID is 8 bytes in length and consists of a 6-byte Trace reference cell and a 2-byte Trace Recording Session Reference cell.

[0006] The Trace Reference serves as the identifier for a Trace session and is assigned by the management station. In the Trace procedure activated by signaling, the core network assigns a Trace Recording Session Reference after receiving the Trace activation, and then sends the Trace activation to the base station. The Trace Reference consists of the MCC (Mobile Country Code), MNC (Mobile Network Code), and Trace ID. The MCC and MNC are used to identify the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and the Trace ID consists of 3 bytes. If the base station receives a Trace activation with a Trace Reference that is the same as an existing Trace Reference, the base station will discard the newly received Trace activation task.

[0007] MDT (Minimal Drive Test) enables the terminal to assist the network side in collecting some data, thereby optimizing certain parameters or related processes on the network side. MDT is implemented based on the Trace procedure, and it can be considered that the MDT-related configurations are also included in the Trace configuration parameters.

[0008] During the handover process, the signaling-activated Trace-related configuration information is also sent to the target base station. If the target base station also meets the conditions for continuing the Trace, the target base station will continue the Trace process.

[0009] When receiving a signaling-activated Trace from the core network, if the UE is in the inactive state at that time, the base station will save the UE's configuration information. When the UE changes from the inactive state to the active state, the UE's context information and Trace configuration information will be sent to the base station where the UE is activated together. If this base station meets the conditions for continuing the Trace, it will also trigger the Trace process.

[0010] The introduction of QoE measurement is as follows:

[0011] The QoE measurement is triggered by the management station and is used to collect QoE measurement results. It is divided into management-activated QoE and signaling-activated QoE. Similar to Trace, for the base station, the management-activated QoE is directly sent from the management station to the base station to trigger the base station to perform measurement collection. For the signaling-activated QoE, it is sent from the management station to the core network, and then the core network sends it to the base station through interface messages to trigger the collection of measurement information.

[0012] In the signaling activation message sent by the core network to the base station through the interface, the main QoE parameters included are: QoE reference, the scope of QoE collection, the IP address of the QoE data collection entity, etc.

[0013] The QoE Reference, as an identifier for a QoE measurement, is assigned by the management station. In the QoE process activated by signaling, after the core network receives the QoE activation, it sends the QoE activation to the base station. The QoE Reference consists of MCC, MNC, and QMC (QoE Measurement Collection) ID. MCC and MNC are used to identify the PLMN, and the QMC ID consists of 3 bytes. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0076] The embodiments of the present application provide an information measurement control method and device to implement the QoE measurement function based on the Trace mechanism, thereby avoiding the increase in the number of messages between interfaces caused by QoE measurement and improving network performance.

[0077] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same inventive concept. Since the principles for the method and the device to solve problems are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can be referred to each other, and the repeated parts will not be elaborated.

[0078] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application can be applied to multiple systems, especially 5G systems. For example, the applicable systems can be Global System of Mobile Communication (GSM) systems, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) systems, Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) systems, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) systems, 5G systems, and 5G NR systems, etc. Both terminal devices and network devices are included in these multiple systems.

In different systems, the name of the terminal device may also be different. For example, in a 5G system, the terminal device can be called a user equipment (UE). The wireless terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks via the RAN. The wireless terminal device can be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device. For example, it can be a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-integrated, or vehicle-mounted mobile device that exchanges voice and / or data with the radio access network. For example, devices such as personal communication service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, session initiated protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc. The wireless terminal device can also be called a system, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a mobile, a remote station, an access point, a remote terminal device, an access terminal device, a user terminal device, a user agent, a user device, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0081] The following describes each embodiment of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification. It should be noted that the display order of the embodiments of the present application only represents the sequence of the embodiments, and does not represent the superiority or inferiority of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments.

[0082] From the perspective of requirements, for signaling activation of Trace and QoE measurement initiated by the same user, the scenarios that need to be satisfied are:

[0083] Scenario 1: The management station first initiates the Trace (including MDT measurement) process, and then initiates the QoE measurement process. Or the management station first initiates the QoE measurement process, and then initiates the Trace (including MDT measurement) process. Trace (including MDT measurement) and QoE measurement are not related.

[0084] Scenario 2: The management station first initiates a Trace (including MDT measurement) process and then initiates a QoE measurement process. Or the management station first initiates a QoE measurement process and then initiates a Trace (including MDT measurement) process. Trace (including MDT measurement) and QoE measurement are related.

[0085] Scenario 3: The management station needs to activate the Trace (including MDT measurement) process and the QoE measurement process simultaneously. It can be triggered in one interface message or in two separate triggers. Trace (including MDT measurement) and QoE measurement are not related.

[0086] Scenario 4: The management station needs to activate the Trace (including MDT measurement) process and the QoE measurement process simultaneously. It can be triggered in one interface message or in two separate triggers. Trace (including MDT measurement) and QoE measurement are related.

[0087] Among them, the fact that Trace (including MDT measurement) and QoE measurement are related means that when the terminal performs Trace (including MDT measurement) and QoE measurement, time alignment is required. It can adopt the method of recording timestamps or other methods to ensure the relevance of the recorded data. For example, if the MDT measurement records poor signal quality and at the same time the QoE measurement records large data latency, it is convenient for correlation analysis.

[0088] As can be seen from the above, Trace and QoE measurement have great similarities in process and parameter structure, and the two processes may also need to perform measurement correlation. It is possible to consider reasonably designing the interface structure to reduce the number of interface messages, reduce the message length, and improve network performance.

[0089] The embodiments of the present application propose a technical solution that can add QoE measurement functions based on the existing Trace framework and process. There are mainly two solutions:

[0090] Solution 1: Utilize the fact that the Trace reference cell and the QoE reference cell have the same structure and size. The QoE reference can reuse the Trace reference, saving the overhead of adding a QoE reference cell in the message.

[0091] Solution 2: A new QoE reference cell is added, and its structure and size can be the same as that of the Trace reference. The advantage is that the structure is clear and easy to understand, but the message length will increase.

[0092] Both of the above two solutions can support the simultaneous sending of Trace and QoE measurements, reducing the number of messages on the interface. The interface can be an NG interface, an S1 interface, an F1 interface, an X2 interface, or an XN interface. Among them, the NG interface and the S1 interface are the interfaces between the core network and the base station, the F1 interface is the interface inside the base station, and the X2 interface and the XN interface are the interfaces between base stations. That is to say, the embodiments of the present application are applicable to the core network and also to the base station, and can be used for message transmission between the core network and the base station, and can also be used for message transmission between base stations.

[0093] Embodiment 1: Reuse the existing Trace reference solution.

[0094] Since the message structures and sizes of the QoE reference and the Trace reference are the same, reuse can be considered. That is, only one reference is included in the interface message sent from the core network to the base station, and the reference can be used to represent the QoE reference or the Trace reference. The base station does not need to make a detailed distinction, but only completes the measurement configuration, measurement collection, and reporting according to the subsequent measurement parameter configuration. In fact, from the measurement configuration information carried in the message (because the Trace configuration and the QoE configuration are different), the base station can still infer whether the configured reference is the QoE reference or the Trace reference.

[0095] In this embodiment, for the above-mentioned multiple requirement scenarios, some agreements and restrictions are also required.

[0096] For Scenario 1, since the Trace (including MDT measurement) process and the QoE measurement are received successively (the order is not limited), and the measurements are not related, they can be processed separately. The values of the QoE reference and the Trace reference sent before and after can be different or the same.

[0097] For Scenario 2, since the Trace (including MDT measurement) process and the QoE measurement are received successively (the order is not limited), and the measurements are related. To represent the correlation of the measurements, the following methods can be used:

[0098] Use the QoE reference and the Trace reference with the same value to represent the measurement correlation. For example, the values of the QoE reference and the Trace reference are both equal to 10. The base station will associate the Trace measurement configuration and the QoE measurement configuration received twice and notify the UE to execute.

[0099] Different QoE references and Trace references are adopted. However, to represent the correlation, a new relevant reference needs to be added to indicate the association between the QoE reference and the Trace reference. For example, the QoE reference triggered by the first message is equal to 5, and the Trace reference triggered by the second message is equal to 10. A relevant reference equal to 5 is added in the second message to indicate the association with the QoE reference in the first message.

[0100] For scenarios three and four, if triggered in two steps, it is similar to scenarios one and two. If it can be triggered in one step, one message can be saved, but a cell indication needs to be added to the message. If the Trace (including MDT measurement) process and the QoE measurement are sent in the same message, only one reference can be used to represent both QoE and Trace simultaneously, that is, there is no need to clearly distinguish between the QoE reference and the Trace reference. A cell indication needs to be added to the message, that is, a 1-bit flag can be introduced to indicate whether the QoE and Trace measurements are relevant in the activation message at the interface.

[0101] For the IP addresses of the data collection entities for Trace (including MDT measurement) and QoE measurement, they can also be reused. Since the reported data of Trace and QoE measurement are different, even if the measurement reports are collected on a server with one IP address, different measurement reports can be distinguished.

[0102] In the handover scenario (including any handover scenario), the current protocol version can only support the transfer of a set of Trace information between base stations. There may be multiple sets of QoE and Trace reference information and configuration data in the above scenarios, which also need to be transferred between base stations.

[0103] When the UE is in the inactive state and receives the scenarios of QoE and Trace configuration, the base station stores the configuration information of these QoE and Trace. When the UE changes from the inactive state to the active state, the QoE and Trace configuration information of the UE will also be sent to the base station where the UE is activated, that is, the target base station. There may also be multiple sets of QoE and Trace reference information and configuration data in the above scenarios, which also need to be transferred between base stations.

[0104] When switching or in the UE inactive state, when transmitting QoE and Trace configuration information between base stations, the Trace configuration information and / or QoE configuration information can be sent to the target base station all at once. There may be measurement correlations between the Trace configuration information and / or QoE configuration information. When transmitting, correlation information can be added to the interface message to indicate measurement correlation between them. The correlation information is used to indicate the information that is measurement-related between the Trace configuration information and / or QoE configuration information, and can be represented in forms such as using a flag bit or placing measurement-related configurations in the same cell.

[0105] Embodiment 2: Do not reuse the existing Trace reference scheme.

[0106] There is already a Trace reference in the existing interface message. In this embodiment, a new QoE reference is added.

[0107] For Scenario 1, the Trace (including MDT measurement) process and QoE measurement are received successively (the order is not limited), and the Trace reference and the newly added QoE reference are used respectively, and the measurements are not related and can be processed separately.

[0108] For Scenario 2, since the Trace (including MDT measurement) process and QoE measurement are received successively (the order is not limited), the Trace reference and the newly added QoE reference are used respectively, and the measurements are related. To indicate the measurement correlation, additional associated references need to be added to the interface message to indicate the correlation between the Trace (including MDT measurement) process and QoE measurement received at different times. For example, the QoE reference triggered by the first message is equal to 5, and the Trace reference triggered by the second message is equal to 10. Add a related reference equal to 5 in the second message to indicate its association with the QoE reference in the first message.

[0109] For Scenarios 3 and 4, if triggered in two times (i.e., the relevant measurements are triggered simultaneously or non-simultaneously in different messages), it is similar to Scenarios 1 and 2. If it can be triggered at once, one message can be saved, but a cell indication needs to be added to the message. If the Trace (including MDT measurement) process and QoE measurement indication are sent in the same message at the same time, the message contains both the Trace reference and the newly added QoE reference. A cell indication needs to be added to the message, that is, a 1-bit flag can be introduced to indicate whether the QoE and Trace measurements are related in the activation message in the interface.

[0110] For the IP addresses of the data collection entities for Trace (including MDT measurements) and QoE measurements, they can also be reused because the reported data for Trace and QoE measurements are different. Even if the measurement reports are collected on a server with one IP address, different measurement reports can still be distinguished.

[0111] In a handover scenario (including any handover scenario), the current protocol version can only support the transfer of a set of Trace information between base stations. In the above scenarios, there may be multiple sets of QoE and Trace reference information and configuration data, which also need to be transferred between base stations.

[0112] When the UE is in the inactive state and receives QoE and Trace configurations, the base station stores the QoE and Trace configuration information. When the UE transitions from the inactive state to the active state, the UE's QoE and Trace configuration information is also sent to the base station where the UE becomes active. In the above scenarios, there may also be multiple sets of QoE and Trace reference information and configuration data, which also need to be transferred between base stations.

[0113] When transferring QoE configuration information (including one or more reference cells) and Trace configuration information (including one or more reference cells) between base stations in a handover or inactive state, the Trace configuration information and / or QoE configuration information can be sent to the target base station all at once. The Trace configuration information and / or QoE configuration information may be measurement-related to each other. When sending, association information indicating the measurement correlation between them can be added to the interface message. The association information used to indicate the measurement-related information between the Trace configuration information and / or QoE configuration information can be represented in forms such as using flag bits or placing the measurement-related configurations in the same cell.

[0114] In summary, the embodiments of the present application implement QoE measurement based on the Trace framework, specifically including:

[0115] The base station adds QoE measurement activation configuration information (including QoE reference cells) to the Trace activation cell (including Trace reference cells) received on the interface, triggering the base station to perform QoE measurement configuration and reporting. When the UE moves to other base stations, the Trace and QoE measurement configurations are transferred on the interface, triggering continuous measurement and reporting at other base stations.

[0116] Add QoE measurement activation configuration information (including QoE reference cell) to the Trace activation cell, and the existing Trace reference scheme can be reused or not reused.

[0117] In the scheme of reusing the existing Trace reference, the existing Trace reference can represent both Trace reference and QoE reference; in the scheme of not reusing the existing Trace reference, a new QoE reference is added.

[0118] Add an associated reference to the Trace activation cell, indicating that the currently received Trace reference and / or QoE reference needs to be measured and associated with the previously received Trace reference and / or QoE reference.

[0119] An associated identification bit needs to be added to the Trace activation cell to indicate whether the currently received Trace reference and QoE reference need to be measured and associated.

[0120] For the UE moving to other base stations, it may switch to other base station cells or enter the inactive state and reselect to other base station cells.

[0121] When transmitting Trace and QoE measurement configurations on the interface, multiple sets of Trace and QoE measurement configuration information may need to be transmitted, that is, there may be multiple Trace configurations and / or QoE measurement configurations associated with multiple Trace references and / or multiple QoE references.

[0122] For the transmission of multiple sets of Trace and QoE measurement configuration information, measurement association information is also added, indicating that one or more Traces and one or more QoE measurements are related to each other in measurement. It can be indicated by adding an identification bit or by placing the relevant one or more Traces and one or more QoE measurements in the same cell.

[0123] The interface may be an NG interface, an S1 interface, an F1 interface, an X2 interface, or an XN interface.

[0124] Therefore, the method for implementing QoE measurement in the embodiments of the present application can reduce the number and length of messages on the interface and improve network performance by reusing the existing Trace process and cells.

[0125] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application is applicable to the core network and can also be applicable to the access network (base station).

[0126] See Figure 1 , at the receiving end of the interface message, for example, on the base station side of the access network, a method for information measurement control provided by the embodiments of the present application includes:

[0127] S101. Receive a first message;

[0128] S102. Obtain a reference cell from the first message; wherein, the reference cell is a QoE reference cell for indicating quality of experience (QoE) measurement or a Trace reference cell for Trace measurement.

[0129] That is to say, in the first message transmitted between interfaces in the embodiments of the present application, the Trace reference cell can be reused, or a QoE reference cell can be added to indicate QoE measurement.

[0130] Optionally, after obtaining the reference cell from the first message, further determine whether the reference cell is a QoE reference cell for indicating quality of experience (QoE) measurement or a Trace reference cell for Trace measurement.

[0131] Optionally, if it is determined that the reference cell included in the first message is a QoE reference cell, then:

[0132] The first message further includes a Trace reference cell for indicating Trace measurement; that is to say, Trace measurement and QoE measurement can be indicated in the same message.

Therefore, optionally, the method further includes:
