Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a reporting method, device, apparatus and storage medium for a QoE measurement report. Background Art
[0002] In UTRAN (UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) Terrestrial Radio Access Network) and E-UTRAN (Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network), QoE (Quality of Experience) measurement collection is specified for streaming services. NR (New Radio) QoE measurements should not only collect experience parameters of streaming services, but also consider typical performance requirements of different services such as AR (Augmented Reality) / VR (Virtual Reality) and URLLC (Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication).
[0003] The goal of NR QoE measurement is to collect experience parameters of different service types. When the core network or OAM (Operation, Administration, and Maintenance) sends QoE configuration to the network-side device, the network-side device will forward the QoE configuration to the UE (User Equipment). The UE collects relevant QoE measurements and reports the QoE measurement report to the network-side device, and the network-side device forwards the QoE measurement report to the core network or OAM. However, since the QoE measurement report is usually very large, when the load of the network-side device is large, or the UE switches or reconnects to a network-side device that does not support the QoE function, the existing QoE measurement report reporting mechanism will further increase the burden on the network-side device or fail to guarantee the validity of the QoE measurement report.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "and / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.
[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.
[0053] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0054] The 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) protocol defines two types of QoE configuration types. One is the signaling based case, i.e., the QoE configuration type based on signaling. The process is that OAM sends the QoE configuration to the CN (Core Network), the CN sends the QoE configuration to the network side device, and the network side device forwards the QoE configuration to the UE. In this case, the configuration is for a specific UE; the other is the management based case, i.e., the QoE configuration type based on management. The process is that OAM directly sends the QoE configuration to the network side device, and the network side device forwards the configuration to the UE. In this case, the configuration is for a specific or multiple UEs.
[0055] The R16 protocol version defines the Quality of Experience (QoE) measurement management parameters, including:
[0056] a. QoE collection entity address
[0057] This is a parameter that defines the IP (Internet Protocol) address to which the QMC (QoE Measurement Collection) records will be transmitted. Either IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) or IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) addresses can be used.
[0058] b. QoE reference
[0059] This parameter defines the network request session. The QoE reference should be globally unique, so it consists of the following:
[0060] MCC (Mobile Country Code) + MNC (Mobile Network Code) + QMC ID (Identifier), where MCC and MNC come from the management system together with the trace activation request and are used to define a PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) included in the management system. QMCID is a 3-byte string.
[0061] c. PLMN target
[0062] This parameter defines the PLMN for which the session should be selected in the Network Request Session Id in case of area based QMC when multiple PLMNs are supported in the RAN (Radio Access Network). (This means that the specified PLMN allows for both shared cells and non-shared cells. Also, several PLMNs can be used for non-shared RAN cases as well as shared RAN cases). The session can only be selected in the case where the PLMN reported by the UE as the selected PLMN is the same as the PLMN target. Note that the PLMN target may be different from the PLMN specified in the Network Request Session Id as it specifies the PLMN that contains the management system that requests the tracking of the session from the NE (Network Equipment). This parameter is mandatory if network sharing is deployed.
[0063] d. Area scope
[0064] Area scope defines the physical area or cell or tracking area or location area where QoE measurements should be performed. If this parameter is not present, QMC should be performed in all PLMNs specified in the target PLMN.
[0065] e. QMC configuration file
[0066] f. QMC target
[0067] g. Recording session id
[0068] The recording session id should be the same for the entire session at the application layer, but the recording session id should be different for each different session.
[0069] When the core network or OAM sends the QoE configuration to the network side device, the network side device will forward the QoE configuration to the UE, and the UE collects relevant QoE measurements and reports them to the network side device. Since the QoE measurement report is usually very large, when the load of the network side device is large, or the UE switches or reconnects to a network side device that does not support the QoE function, the network side device needs to control the reporting of the UE's QoE measurement report to reduce the burden or ensure the validity of the QoE measurement report. Therefore, each embodiment of the present application provides a solution that enables the network side device to control the reporting of the UE's QoE measurement report by configuring the relevant parameters of the QoE measurement configuration.
[0070] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for reporting a quality of experience (QoE) measurement report provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided. The method is applied to a user terminal UE, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:
[0071] Step 100: Receive a QoE measurement report suspension reporting message sent by a network side device, where the suspension reporting message is used to instruct the user terminal to suspend reporting the QoE measurement report based on first indication information sent by the network side device.
[0072] Specifically, in order to collect experience parameters of different service types, the core network or OAM will first send the QoE configuration to the network side device (such as the base station gNB (next generation NodeB)). After receiving the QoE configuration, the network side device can send a QoE measurement configuration message to the user terminal. The QoE measurement configuration message carries information such as the QoE configuration and service type. After receiving the QoE measurement configuration message, the user terminal can start QoE measurement according to the configuration information in the QoE measurement configuration message, store the QoE measurement report and report the stored QoE measurement report to the network side device.
[0073] When the network side device determines that the user terminal needs to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report, for example, the network side device is heavily loaded, or the user terminal switches or reconnects to a network side device that does not support the QoE service, in order to reduce the burden of the network side device or avoid invalid reporting occupying system resources, the network side device can send a QoE measurement report suspension reporting message to the user terminal to instruct the user terminal to suspend reporting of part or all QoE measurement reports. Among them, the user terminal can determine which QoE measurement report or reports to suspend reporting based on the first indication information sent by the network side device.
[0074] Optionally, the QoE measurement report suspension reporting message may be various RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling or broadcast messages, which are not specifically limited here, for example, may be an RRC reconfiguration message.
[0075] Step 101: According to the reporting suspension message, suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information.
[0076] Specifically, after receiving the above-mentioned report suspension message, the user terminal may suspend reporting the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information based on the first indication information sent by the network side device, thereby reducing the burden on the network side device.
[0077] According to the QoE measurement report reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the user terminal can suspend reporting of part or all QoE measurement reports after receiving the suspend reporting message sent by the network side device, so that the network side device can reduce the burden by controlling the reporting of the QoE measurement report of the user terminal.
[0078] Optionally, the first indication information is at least one or more of a priority of a service type, a priority of a QoE measurement identifier ID, a service type, a QoE measurement identifier ID, and a QoE configuration type;
[0079] The suspending reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information includes:
[0080] Determine, according to the received first indication information, a QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information;
[0081] Suspend reporting of confirmed QoE measurement reports.
[0082] Specifically, after receiving the report suspension message, the user terminal may suspend reporting the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information based on the first indication information sent by the network side device. The first indication information may be at least one or more of the priority of the service type, the priority of the QoE measurement identification ID, the service type, the QoE measurement identification ID, and the QoE configuration type.
[0083] For example, the first indication information may be the priority of the service type, that is, the network side device specifies in the first indication information sent to the user terminal which service type or types of priorities whose QoE measurement reports need to be suspended from reporting. After the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can determine the QoE measurement report corresponding to the priority of the specified service type based on the priority of the service type specified in the first indication information, and suspend reporting of the determined QoE measurement report. Among them, the priority of each service type can be pre-configured to the user terminal by OAM, core network or network side device, and can also be sent to the user terminal through a suspension reporting message.
[0084] For example, the first indication information may also be the priority of the QoE measurement identification ID, that is, the network side device specifies in the first indication information sent to the user terminal which QoE measurement report corresponding to the priority of which QoE measurement identification ID or IDs needs to be suspended from reporting. After the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can determine the QoE measurement report corresponding to the priority of the specified QoE measurement identification ID based on the priority of the QoE measurement identification ID specified in the first indication information, and suspend reporting of the determined QoE measurement report. Among them, the priority of each QoE measurement identification ID can be pre-configured to the user terminal by OAM, core network or network side device, and can also be sent to the user terminal through a suspension reporting message.
[0085] For example, the first indication information may also be a service type, that is, the network side device specifies in the first indication information sent to the user terminal which service type or types of QoE measurement reports corresponding to which need to be suspended from reporting, and after the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can determine the QoE measurement report corresponding to the specified service type based on the service type specified in the first indication information, and suspend reporting the determined QoE measurement report. The above-mentioned specified service type may be one or more.
[0086] For example, the first indication information may also be a QoE measurement identification ID, that is, the network side device specifies in the first indication information sent to the user terminal which QoE measurement report corresponding to which QoE measurement identification ID or IDs needs to be suspended from reporting. After the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can determine the QoE measurement report corresponding to the specified QoE measurement identification ID based on the QoE measurement identification ID specified in the first indication information, and suspend reporting of the determined QoE measurement report. The above-mentioned specified QoE measurement identification ID may be one or more.
[0087] For example, the first indication information may also be a QoE configuration type, that is, the network side device specifies in the first indication information sent to the user terminal which QoE configuration type corresponds to which QoE measurement report needs to be suspended from reporting. After the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can determine the QoE measurement report corresponding to the specified QoE configuration type based on the QoE configuration type specified in the first indication information, and suspend reporting the determined QoE measurement report. Optionally, the QoE configuration type specified in the first indication information may be a signaling-based QoE configuration type or a management-based QoE configuration type.
[0088] It should be noted that the QoE measurement identification ID corresponding to each QoE configuration may be carried by the network side device in the QoE measurement configuration message sent to the user terminal, so that the user terminal can determine the QoE measurement report of the corresponding QoE configuration according to the QoE measurement identification ID.
[0089] Optionally, the QoE measurement identifier ID may be a QoE reference.
[0090] The QoE measurement report reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present application can suspend reporting of the corresponding QoE measurement report by the user terminal according to the priority of the service type specified by the network side device, the priority of the QoE measurement identification ID, the service type, the QoE measurement identification ID or the QoE configuration type, thereby improving the flexibility of the network side device in controlling the user terminal to report the QoE measurement report.
[0091] Optionally, the first indication information is a first indication identifier used to instruct to suspend reporting of all QoE measurement reports;
[0092] The suspending reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information includes:
[0093] Based on the received first indication identifier, reporting of all QoE measurement reports is suspended.
[0094] Specifically, the first indication information may also be a first indication identifier indicating suspension of reporting of all QoE measurement reports, that is, the network side device instructs the user terminal to suspend reporting of all QoE measurement reports in the first indication information sent to the user terminal. After the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can suspend the reporting of all ongoing QoE measurement reports based on the first indication identifier.
[0095] It can be understood that the transmission of the first indication identifier only takes up very little system resources, thereby avoiding increasing the burden on the network side device as much as possible. Optionally, the first indication identifier may be 1-bit indication information.
[0096] According to the QoE measurement report reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the user terminal can suspend all ongoing QoE measurement report reporting according to the first indication identifier sent by the network side device, so that the network side device can control the reporting of the QoE measurement report of the user terminal with very little resource occupation, thereby further reducing the burden on the network side device.
[0097] Optionally, before receiving a message for suspending reporting of a QoE measurement report sent by a network side device, the method further includes:
[0098] A signaling message sent by a network side device is received, where the signaling message includes first indication information.
[0099] Specifically, the first indication information in the above embodiment may be included in the suspend reporting message sent by the network side device, so that when the user terminal receives the suspend reporting message, it can directly determine the QoE measurement report that needs to be suspended according to the first indication information in the suspend reporting message.
[0100] The first indication information in the above embodiment may also be included in a signaling message before the suspend reporting message. Optionally, the signaling message may be various RRC signaling or broadcast messages, which are not specifically limited here, for example, may be an RRC reconfiguration message or a QoE measurement configuration message.
[0101] It can be understood that if the first indication information is included in a signaling message before the suspend reporting message, the suspend reporting message may not include the first indication information, but may include an indication identifier instructing the user terminal to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report, and the indication identifier is used to notify the user terminal that the QoE measurement report needs to be suspended. After the user terminal receives the indication identifier, it can determine which specific QoE measurement report or reports to suspend based on the first indication information received before the suspend reporting message.
[0102] Since the transmission of the indication identifier only takes up a small amount of system resources, it is possible to avoid further increasing the burden on the network side device when the network side device is heavily loaded. At the same time, by sending the first indication information before the suspension reporting message to indicate that the user terminal needs to suspend the subsequent QoE measurement report, the flexibility of the network side device in controlling the reporting of the QoE measurement report is improved. Optionally, the above indication identifier can be a 1-bit indication information.
[0103] Optionally, the method further comprises:
[0104] A response message is sent to the network side device, where the response message is used to notify the network side device that it has been determined to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information.
[0105] Specifically, after suspending reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information, the user terminal may send a response message to the network side device to notify the network side device that the user terminal has determined to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information.
[0106] Optionally, the method further comprises:
[0107] Receive a configuration message sent by a network side device, where the configuration message includes association relationship information between a service type and a QoE measurement identifier ID;
[0108] The step of suspending reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information according to the reporting suspension message includes:
[0109] If the first indication information is a service type, determining, according to the received association relationship information between the service type and the QoE measurement identifier ID, a QoE measurement report corresponding to the service type and a QoE measurement report corresponding to the QoE measurement identifier ID associated with the service type;
[0110] Stop reporting the confirmed QoE measurement report to the network side device.
[0111] Specifically, the user terminal can also receive a configuration message sent by the network side device, where the configuration message includes association information between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, so that the user terminal can not only suspend the reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information, but also suspend the reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the QoE measurement identification ID associated with the service type according to the association relationship information between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, or suspend the reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the service type associated with the QoE measurement identification ID, thereby improving the flexibility of the network side device in controlling the user terminal to report the QoE measurement report.
[0112] For example, if the first indication information is the priority of the service type, the user terminal can not only suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the priority of the specified service type, but also determine the QoE measurement identification ID associated with these service types after determining the service type corresponding to the priority of the specified service type based on the association relationship information between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, and suspend reporting of the QoE measurement reports corresponding to these QoE measurement identification IDs.
[0113] For example, if the first indication information is the priority of the QoE measurement identification ID, the user terminal can not only suspend the reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the priority of the specified QoE measurement identification ID, but also determine the service types associated with these QoE measurement identification IDs after determining the QoE measurement identification ID corresponding to the priority of the specified QoE measurement identification ID based on the association relationship information between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, and suspend reporting of the QoE measurement reports corresponding to these service types.
[0114] For example, if the first indication information is a service type, the user terminal can not only suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the specified service type, but also determine the QoE measurement identification ID associated with the specified service type based on the association between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, and suspend reporting of the QoE measurement reports corresponding to these QoE measurement identification IDs.
[0115] For example, if the first indication information is a QoE measurement identification ID, the user terminal can not only suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the specified QoE measurement identification ID, but also determine the service type associated with the specified QoE measurement identification ID based on the association between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, and suspend reporting of the QoE measurement reports corresponding to these service types.
[0116] In summary, the suspension of reporting of the QoE measurement report in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following situations:
[0117] Case 1: The network-side device informs the user terminal in advance of the QoE content to be suspended from reporting through a QoE measurement configuration message, which is expressed in the form of the first indication information in the above embodiment. After receiving the QoE measurement configuration message, the user terminal performs QoE measurement, stores the measured QoE measurement report, and reports the QoE measurement report. When the network-side device determines through detection that the user device needs to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report, it sends a suspension reporting message to the user terminal. The suspension reporting message includes a suspension indication. After receiving the suspension reporting message, the user terminal determines that it is necessary to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report according to the suspension indication. However, whether it is a full or partial suspension can be determined based on the QoE content of the suspended reporting carried in the QoE measurement configuration message. After determining, the user terminal performs the suspension reporting operation.
[0118] Case 2: The difference from Case 1 is that: 1. The network-side device informs the user terminal in advance of the form of suspending the reporting message through the QoE measurement configuration message. 2. When the network-side device determines through detection that the user device needs to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report, it sends a suspend reporting message to the user terminal. After receiving the suspend reporting message, the user terminal determines that it is necessary to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report. However, whether it is a full or partial suspension can be determined based on the QoE content of the suspended reporting carried in the suspend reporting message. After determining, the user terminal executes the suspend reporting operation.
[0119] Case 3: The difference from Case 1 is: 1. The network-side device first sends a QoE measurement configuration message to the user terminal, and the QoE measurement configuration message does not yet contain content related to suspending reporting. 2. When the network-side device determines through detection that the user equipment needs to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report, it sends a suspend reporting message to the user terminal. The suspend reporting message contains the QoE content for suspending reporting or indication information for indicating the suspension of all reporting. After receiving the suspend reporting message, the user terminal can determine the QoE content for suspending reporting based on the content carried in the suspend reporting message. After determining, the user terminal executes the suspend reporting operation.
[0120] Optionally, the method further includes:
[0121] A resume reporting message sent by a network side device is received, where the resume reporting message is used to instruct the user terminal to resume reporting the QoE measurement report.
[0122] The above method is illustrated below by means of specific embodiments.
[0123] Example 1: Configuring the priority of a service type

[0171] Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for reporting a quality of experience (QoE) measurement report provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided. The method is applied to a network side device, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:
[0172] Step 200, start;
[0173] Step 201: Send a message for suspending reporting of a QoE measurement report to a user terminal to instruct the user terminal to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report based on first indication information sent by a network side device.
[0174] Specifically, in order to collect experience parameters of different service types, the core network or OAM will first send the QoE configuration to the network side device. After receiving the QoE configuration, the network side device can send a QoE measurement configuration message to the user terminal. The QoE measurement configuration message carries information such as the QoE configuration and service type. After receiving the QoE measurement configuration message, the user terminal can start QoE measurement according to the configuration information in the QoE measurement configuration message, record the QoE measurement report and report it.
[0175] When the network side device determines that the user terminal needs to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report, for example, the network side device is heavily loaded, or the user terminal switches or reconnects to a network side device that does not support the QoE service, in order to reduce the burden of the network side device or avoid invalid reporting occupying system resources, the network side device can send a QoE measurement report suspension reporting message to the user terminal to instruct the user terminal to suspend reporting of part or all QoE measurement reports. Among them, the user terminal can determine which QoE measurement report or reports to suspend reporting based on the first indication information sent by the network side device.
[0176] Optionally, the QoE measurement report suspension reporting message may be various RRC signaling or broadcast messages, which are not specifically limited here, for example, may be an RRC reconfiguration message.
[0177] In the QoE measurement report reporting method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the network side device can send a reporting suspension message to the user terminal, instructing the user terminal to suspend reporting of part or all QoE measurement reports, thereby reducing the burden by controlling the reporting of the QoE measurement report of the user terminal.
[0178] Optionally, the first indication information is at least one or more of a priority of a service type, a priority of a QoE measurement identifier ID, a service type, a QoE measurement identifier ID, a QoE configuration type, and a first indication identifier used to indicate suspension of reporting of all QoE measurement reports.
[0179] Specifically, the above-mentioned first indication information may be at least one or more of the priority of the service type, the priority of the QoE measurement identification ID, the service type, the QoE measurement identification ID, the QoE configuration type, and the first indication identifier used to indicate the suspension of reporting of all QoE measurement reports, so that after the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can suspend reporting the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information based on the first indication information sent by the network side device.
[0180] For example, the first indication information may be the priority of the service type, that is, the network side device specifies in the first indication information sent to the user terminal which service type or types of priorities whose QoE measurement reports need to be suspended from reporting. After the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can determine the QoE measurement report corresponding to the priority of the specified service type based on the priority of the service type specified in the first indication information, and suspend reporting of the determined QoE measurement report. Among them, the priority of each service type can be pre-configured to the user terminal by OAM, core network or network side device, and can also be sent to the user terminal through a suspension reporting message.
[0181] For example, the first indication information may also be the priority of the QoE measurement identification ID, that is, the network side device specifies in the first indication information sent to the user terminal which QoE measurement report corresponding to the priority of which QoE measurement identification ID or IDs needs to be suspended from reporting. After the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can determine the QoE measurement report corresponding to the priority of the specified QoE measurement identification ID based on the priority of the QoE measurement identification ID specified in the first indication information, and suspend reporting of the determined QoE measurement report. Among them, the priority of each QoE measurement identification ID can be pre-configured to the user terminal by OAM, core network or network side device, and can also be sent to the user terminal through a suspension reporting message.
[0182] For example, the first indication information may also be a service type, that is, the network side device specifies in the first indication information sent to the user terminal which service type or types of QoE measurement reports corresponding to which need to be suspended from reporting, and after the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can determine the QoE measurement report corresponding to the specified service type based on the service type specified in the first indication information, and suspend reporting the determined QoE measurement report. The above-mentioned specified service type may be one or more.
[0183] For example, the first indication information may also be a QoE measurement identification ID, that is, the network side device specifies in the first indication information sent to the user terminal which QoE measurement report corresponding to which QoE measurement identification ID or IDs needs to be suspended from reporting. After the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can determine the QoE measurement report corresponding to the specified QoE measurement identification ID based on the QoE measurement identification ID specified in the first indication information, and suspend reporting of the determined QoE measurement report. The above-mentioned specified QoE measurement identification ID may be one or more.
[0184] For example, the first indication information may also be a QoE configuration type, that is, the network side device specifies in the first indication information sent to the user terminal which QoE configuration type corresponds to which QoE measurement report needs to be suspended from reporting. After the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can determine the QoE measurement report corresponding to the specified QoE configuration type based on the QoE configuration type specified in the first indication information, and suspend reporting the determined QoE measurement report. Optionally, the QoE configuration type specified in the first indication information may be a signaling-based QoE configuration type or a management-based QoE configuration type.
[0185] For example, the first indication information may also be a first indication identifier indicating to suspend reporting of all QoE measurement reports, that is, the network side device instructs the user terminal to suspend reporting of all QoE measurement reports in the first indication information sent to the user terminal. After the user terminal receives the suspension reporting message, it can suspend the reporting of all ongoing QoE measurement reports based on the first indication identifier. It can be understood that the transmission of the above-mentioned first indication identifier only takes up very few system resources, thereby avoiding increasing the burden on the network side device as much as possible. Optionally, the above-mentioned first indication identifier may be a 1-bit indication information.
[0186] It should be noted that the QoE measurement identification ID corresponding to each QoE configuration may be carried by the network side device in the QoE measurement configuration message sent to the user terminal, so that the user terminal can determine the QoE measurement report of the corresponding QoE configuration according to the QoE measurement identification ID.
[0187] Optionally, the QoE measurement identifier ID may be a QoE reference.
[0188] In the QoE measurement report reporting method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the first indication information sent by the network side device to the user terminal may be at least one or more of the priority of the service type, the priority of the QoE measurement identification ID, the service type, the QoE measurement identification ID, the QoE configuration type, and the first indication identifier for indicating the suspension of reporting all QoE measurement reports, thereby improving the flexibility of the network side device in controlling the user terminal to report the QoE measurement report.
[0189] Optionally, before sending a message for suspending reporting of a QoE measurement report to the user terminal, the method further includes:
[0190] A signaling message is sent to a user terminal, where the signaling message includes first indication information.
[0191] Specifically, the first indication information in the above embodiment may be included in the suspend reporting message sent by the network side device, so that when the user terminal receives the suspend reporting message, it can directly determine the QoE measurement report that needs to be suspended according to the first indication information in the suspend reporting message.
[0192] The first indication information in the above embodiment may also be included in a signaling message before the suspend reporting message. Optionally, the signaling message may be various RRC signaling or broadcast messages, which are not specifically limited here, for example, may be an RRC reconfiguration message or a QoE measurement configuration message.
[0193] It can be understood that if the first indication information is included in a signaling message before the suspend reporting message, the suspend reporting message may not include the first indication information, but may include an indication identifier instructing the user terminal to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report, and the indication identifier is used to notify the user terminal that the QoE measurement report needs to be suspended. After the user terminal receives the indication identifier, it can determine which specific QoE measurement report or reports to suspend based on the first indication information received before the suspend reporting message.
[0194] Since the transmission of the indication identifier only takes up a small amount of system resources, it is possible to avoid further increasing the burden on the network side device when the network side device is heavily loaded. At the same time, by sending the first indication information before the suspension reporting message to indicate that the user terminal needs to suspend the subsequent QoE measurement report, the flexibility of the network side device in controlling the reporting of the QoE measurement report is improved. Optionally, the above indication identifier can be a 1-bit indication information.
[0195] Optionally, the method further comprises:
[0196] A response message sent by the user terminal is received, where the response message is used to notify the network side device that the user terminal has determined to suspend reporting the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information.
[0197] Specifically, after suspending reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information, the user terminal may send a response message to the network side device to notify the network side device that the user terminal has determined to suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information.
[0198] Optionally, the method further comprises:
[0199] A configuration message is sent to the user terminal, where the configuration message includes association information between the service type and the QoE measurement identifier ID.
[0200] Specifically, the network side device can also send a configuration message to the user terminal, where the configuration message includes association information between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, so that the user terminal can not only suspend the reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the first indication information, but also suspend the reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the QoE measurement identification ID associated with the service type according to the association relationship information between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, or suspend the reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the service type associated with the QoE measurement identification ID, thereby improving the flexibility of the network side device in controlling the user terminal to report the QoE measurement report.
[0201] For example, if the first indication information is the priority of the service type, the user terminal can not only suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the priority of the specified service type, but also determine the QoE measurement identification ID associated with these service types after determining the service type corresponding to the priority of the specified service type based on the association relationship information between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, and suspend reporting of the QoE measurement reports corresponding to these QoE measurement identification IDs.
[0202] For example, if the first indication information is the priority of the QoE measurement identification ID, the user terminal can not only suspend the reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the priority of the specified QoE measurement identification ID, but also determine the service types associated with these QoE measurement identification IDs after determining the QoE measurement identification ID corresponding to the priority of the specified QoE measurement identification ID based on the association relationship information between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, and suspend reporting of the QoE measurement reports corresponding to these service types.
[0203] For example, if the first indication information is a service type, the user terminal can not only suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the specified service type, but also determine the QoE measurement identification ID associated with the specified service type based on the association between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, and suspend reporting of the QoE measurement reports corresponding to these QoE measurement identification IDs.
[0204] For example, if the first indication information is a QoE measurement identification ID, the user terminal can not only suspend reporting of the QoE measurement report corresponding to the specified QoE measurement identification ID, but also determine the service type associated with the specified QoE measurement identification ID based on the association between the service type and the QoE measurement identification ID, and suspend reporting of the QoE measurement reports corresponding to these service types.
[0205] The methods and devices provided in the various embodiments of the present application are based on the same application concept. Since the methods and devices solve problems based on similar principles, the implementation of the devices and methods can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.
