Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a QoE configuration release method, device, and computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] The goal of Quality of Experience (QoE) is to collect user experience quality parameters for different service types. When the core network or Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM) entity sends QoE configuration to the Radio Access Network (RAN), the RAN forwards the QoE configuration to the UE. The UE collects the relevant QoE measurement reports and reports them to the RAN, which then reports them to the server. The QoE measurement reports are generated by the terminal's application layer and sent to the UE's Access Stratum (AS). The UE's AS then sends the reports to the RAN via Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages.

[0003] In related technologies, when the RAN needs to release the UE's QoE configuration for some reason, the RAN notifies the UE of the QoE ID that needs to be released, and the terminal releases all QoE configurations corresponding to that QoE ID. Therefore, the current method for releasing QoE configurations is too simplistic. Summary of the Invention

[0047] In the embodiments of this application, the term "and / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three cases: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following associated objects have an "or" relationship.

[0048] In the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0049] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] like Figure 1As shown in the embodiment of this application, an optional application scenario is presented. The wireless communication system includes an OAM entity 10, a core network (CN) device 11, a RAN node 12, and a terminal 13.

[0051] In this application scenario, this application provides two types of QoE measurement. One is signalalling-based, in which OAM entity 10 sends QoE configuration to the core network, core network device 11 sends QoE configuration to RAN node 12, and RAN node 12 then forwards the QoE configuration to terminal 13. In this case, the QoE configuration is for a specific UE. The other is management-based, in which OAM entity 10 directly sends QoE configuration to RAN node 12, and RAN node 12 then forwards the QoE configuration to terminal 13. In this case, the QoE configuration is configured for multiple UEs.

[0052] After determining that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration, RAN node 12 generates QoE configuration release information containing a release type parameter, which indicates the type of QoE configuration released by the terminal; RAN node 12 sends the QoE configuration release information to terminal 13.

[0053] Terminal 13 receives QoE configuration release information containing release type parameters sent by RAN node 12; based on the release type parameters in the QoE configuration release information, it determines the target QoE configuration to be released and releases the target QoE configuration.

[0054] It should be noted that when determining whether a terminal needs to release its QoE configuration, the RAN node checks whether the terminal has moved out of the valid range of the QoE configuration. If the terminal moves out of the valid range of the QoE configuration, the RAN node determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration. Alternatively, the RAN node checks whether there is a network fault. If the type of network fault determines that the QoE configuration needs to be released, the RAN node determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration. Or, if the RAN node determines that the QoE configuration needs to be released due to human network management, the RAN node determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration.

[0055] In this embodiment of the wireless communication system, after determining that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration, the RAN node sends an RRC reconfiguration message to the terminal; wherein, the RRC reconfiguration message contains QoE configuration release information, and the QoE configuration release information contains a release type parameter;

[0056] The release type parameters in this application embodiment include configuration type parameters and / or service type parameters;

[0057] The configuration type parameter can be a first configuration type parameter. For example, the first configuration type can be a QoE configuration type that is not visible to network-side devices (Traditional QoE), or the first configuration type can be both Traditional QoE and QoE configuration type that is visible to network-side devices (RAN-visible QoE).

[0058] Service type parameters include, but are not limited to: string, streaming media, and MTSI.

[0059] After receiving the RRC reconfiguration message sent by the network-side device, the terminal parses the QoE configuration release information from the RRC reconfiguration message and obtains the release type parameter contained in the QoE configuration release information. Based on the release type parameter, the terminal determines the target QoE configuration corresponding to the release type parameter and releases the target QoE configuration.

[0060] The technical solutions provided in this application can be applied to various systems, especially 5G systems. For example, applicable systems include Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD), LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), and 5G New Radio (NR). All of these systems include terminal equipment and network equipment. The systems may also include a core network component, such as Evolved Packet System (EPS) and 5G system (5GS).

[0061] The terminal involved in the embodiments of this application can be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. The name of the terminal device may differ in different systems; for example, in a 5G system, the terminal can be called a User Equipment (UE). The wireless terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks (CNs) via a Radio Access Network (RAN). The wireless terminal device can be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device, for example, a portable, pocket-sized, handheld, computer-embedded, or vehicle-mounted mobile device. These exchange voice and / or data with the RAN. Examples include Personal Communication Service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) phones, Wireless Local Loop (WLL) stations, and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Wireless terminal equipment can also be referred to as a system, subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, access point, remote terminal, access terminal, user terminal, user agent, or user device, but is not limited to these terms in the embodiments of this application.

[0062] The network-side equipment involved in this application embodiment can be a base station, which may include multiple cells providing services to terminals. Depending on the specific application, a base station may also be called an access point, or a device in the access network that communicates with wireless terminal devices through one or more sectors on the air interface, or other names. The network-side equipment can be used to exchange received air frames with Internet Protocol (IP) packets, acting as a router between the wireless terminal device and the rest of the access network, where the rest of the access network may include an Internet Protocol (IP) communication network. The network-side equipment can also coordinate the attribute management of the air interface. For example, the network-side equipment involved in the embodiments of this application can be a base transceiver station (BTS) in a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), a NodeB in a Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, an evolved Node B (eNB or e-NodeB) in a long term evolution (LTE) system, a 5G base station (gNB) in a next-generation 5G network architecture, a Home evolved Node B (HeNB), a relay node, a femto, a pico, etc., and is not limited in the embodiments of this application. In some network structures, the network equipment may include centralized unit (CU) nodes and distributed unit (DU) nodes, and the centralized unit and distributed unit may also be geographically separated.

[0063] Network-side devices and terminals can each use one or more antennas for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission. MIMO transmission can be Single-User MIMO (SU-MIMO) or Multiple-User MIMO (MU-MIMO). Depending on the configuration and number of antenna combinations, MIMO transmission can be 2D-MIMO, 3D-MIMO, FD-MIMO, or massive-MIMO, and can also be diversity transmission, pre-coding transmission, or beamforming transmission, etc.

[0064] In this application embodiment, the release type parameter includes configuration type parameter and / or service type parameter;

[0065] The configuration type of QoE can be a configuration type that is not visible to network-side devices, or a configuration type that is visible to network-side devices.

[0066] It should be noted that the network-side device in this application embodiment can be a RAN node.

[0067] The following section introduces two different configuration types of QoE:

[0068] 1. For QoE that is not visible to network-side devices;

[0069] In the system framework with both signaling-based and management-based measurement configurations, the process and configuration parameters of the QoE configuration sent by the RAN node to the UE are the same. The QoE configuration file is encapsulated in a file for the RAN node. The RAN node does not decapsulate the file and directly transmits it to the UE transparently through RRC signaling. This type of QoE configuration is invisible to the RAN node.

[0070] The R16 protocol version defines QoE measurement management parameters, including but not limited to the following parameters:

[0071] a. QoE collection entity address

[0072] This parameter defines the IP address to which the QMC record is transmitted; either an IPv4 or IPv6 address can be used.

[0073] b. QoE reference

[0074] This parameter is used to define the network request session. The QoE reference is globally unique and consists of MCC + MNC + QMC ID.

[0075] MCC and MNC are derived from the management system along with the trace activation request and are used to define a PLMN contained in the management system. The QMC ID is a 3-byte string.

[0076] c. QoE identification information

[0077] The QoE identification information, also known as the measurement ID, is used to identify the UE-side QoE configuration and measurement report. It is used for the RAN node to interact with the UE over the air interface. The RAN node is responsible for mapping this ID one-to-one with the aforementioned QoE reference.

[0078] d. QMC configuration file

[0079] This parameter is defined in the QoE configuration file by the application layer service.

[0080] e. Service Type (Service Type Parameter)

[0081] This parameter is used to define the service type that needs to be measured for QoE; the service type parameter includes types such as string, streaming media, and MTSI.

[0082] f. Area Scope

[0083] This parameter is used to define the valid area for QoE configuration, and can include cell list, TA list, etc.

[0084] After receiving the QoE configuration via RRC messages, the UE's AS layer sends the QoE configuration to the application layer through the directory defined by the AT command. This configuration includes parameters such as Service Type, QoE reference, and QMC configuration file. When the service corresponding to the configured service type begins to occur, the application layer starts measuring according to the configuration file and generates a measurement QoE report based on the configuration conditions. Once the QoE measurement report is generated, the UE's application layer sends the QoE report to the UE's AS layer via AT command. The UE's AS layer immediately sends the QoE to the RAN node via RRC messages. The RAN node then sends the report to the corresponding server at the IP address defined in the configuration file, thus completing the QoE configuration and measurement report collection process.

[0085] 2. For QoE visible to network-side devices;

[0086] A QoE that is visible to network-side devices can be called a RAN-visible QoE. This type of QoE configuration is generated and configured by the RAN node for the UE. After receiving the UE's QoE report, the RAN node can directly understand the QoE report, rather than encapsulating it before reporting.

[0087] The RAN-visible QoE measurement management parameters include, but are not limited to, the following parameters:

[0088] a. RAN visible QoE metrics

[0089] The UE collects and reports QoE parameters such as buffer level and playout delay.

[0090] b. QoE identification information

[0091] The QoE identification information, also known as the measurement ID, is used to identify the UE-side QoE configuration and measurement report. It is used for RAN node and UE to interact over the air interface. This identifier is shared with the QoE of the first configuration type.

[0092] d. Service Type (Service Type Parameter)

[0093] This parameter is used to define the service type that needs to be measured for QoE. The service type parameter includes types such as string, streaming media, and MTSI.

[0094] In this embodiment of the application, when the network-side device determines that the terminal needs to release its QoE configuration, the network-side device will send QoE configuration release information to the terminal. After receiving the QoE configuration release information, the terminal releases the configuration and processes the collected measurement report data according to the actual situation.

[0095] Among them, the reasons why the network-side device determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration and the release message is not limited to normal release or the terminal moving out of the effective range of the QoE configuration;

[0096] Normal release includes, but is not limited to: release by human management or release due to network failure.

[0097] After receiving the QoE configuration release information sent by the network-side device, the terminal determines the target QoE configuration to be released according to the release type parameter in the QoE configuration release information, and releases the target QoE configuration.

[0098] The following details the process of releasing the target QoE configuration in the embodiments of this application.

[0099] First, based on the release type parameter contained in the QoE configuration release information, determine the target QoE configuration that needs to be released.

[0100] 1. Release type parameters include configuration type parameters;

[0101] The QoE configuration release information sent by the network-side device to the terminal also includes QoE identification information;

[0102] The terminal determines the candidate QoE configuration corresponding to the QoE identification information based on the QoE identification information, and selects the QoE configuration corresponding to the configuration type parameter from the candidate QoE configurations as the target QoE configuration.

[0103] In practice, the QoE configuration release information sent by the network-side device to the terminal in this application embodiment includes QoE identification information and configuration type parameters;

[0104] When determining the target QoE configuration, all QoE configurations corresponding to the QoE identification information are identified as candidate QoE configurations; then, the QoE configuration corresponding to the configuration type parameter is selected from the candidate QoE configurations as the target QoE configuration.

[0105] An optional implementation is that if the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information is the first configuration type parameter, then all QoE configurations in the candidate QoE configurations are taken as the target QoE configuration.

[0106] For example, if the QoE configuration types include Traditional QoE (which is not visible to network-side devices) and RAN-visible QoE (which is visible to network-side devices), then the first configuration type parameter can be Traditional QoE, or the first configuration type parameter can be both Traditional QoE and RAN-visible QoE.

[0107] If the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information is the second configuration type parameter, then the QoE configuration visible to the network-side device is selected from the candidate QoE configurations as the target QoE configuration.

[0108] For example, if the QoE configuration types include Traditional QoE (which is not visible to network-side devices) and RAN-visible QoE (which is visible to network-side devices), then the second configuration type parameter can be RAN-visible QoE.

[0109] 2. Release type parameters include service type parameters;

[0110] In this embodiment of the application, when the QoE configuration release information sent by the network-side device to the terminal includes a service type parameter, the QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter is used as the target QoE configuration.

[0111] If the release type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information sent by the network-side device to the terminal is a service type parameter, then the terminal determines all QoE configurations corresponding to that service type parameter as the target QoE configuration; for example, assuming that the service type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information is a string, then the terminal will use the string type QoE configuration as the target QoE configuration.

[0112] 3. Release type parameters include configuration type parameters and service type parameters;

[0113] In this embodiment of the application, when the QoE configuration release information sent by the network-side device to the terminal includes a configuration type parameter and a service type parameter, the QoE configuration corresponding to the configuration type parameter is selected from the QoE configurations corresponding to the service type parameter as the target QoE configuration.

[0114] Because QoE configurations can be divided into different configuration types based on configuration type parameters, QoE configurations can also be divided into different service types based on service type parameters;

[0115] When the QoE configuration release information sent by the network-side device to the terminal includes both configuration type parameters and service type parameters, when the terminal determines the target QoE configuration, the terminal determines a part of the QoE configuration based on the service type parameters included in the QoE configuration release information and a part of the QoE configuration based on the configuration type parameters included in the QoE configuration release information. The QoE configuration that is the same in both parts is taken as the target QoE configuration.

[0116] In practice, the embodiments of this application can determine the QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter based on the service type parameter, and then select the QoE configuration corresponding to the configuration type parameter from the QoE configurations corresponding to the service type parameter as the target QoE configuration.

[0117] An optional implementation is that if the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information is the first configuration type parameter, then all QoE configurations corresponding to the service type parameter are taken as the target QoE configuration.

[0118] For example, QoE configuration types include Traditional QoE and RAN-visible QoE. The first configuration type parameter carried in the QoE configuration release information can be represented as Traditional QoE. When the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information received by the terminal is Traditional QoE, the terminal releases all QoE configurations corresponding to the service type parameter, that is, the terminal releases both the Traditional QoE configuration and the RAN-visible QoE configuration corresponding to that service type parameter; or

[0119] The first configuration type parameter carried in the QoE configuration release information can be represented as Traditional QoE and RAN-visible QoE. When the configuration type parameters included in the QoE configuration release information received by the terminal are Traditional QoE and RAN-visible QoE, the terminal releases all QoE configurations corresponding to the service type parameter, that is, the terminal releases the Traditional QoE configuration and RAN-visible QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter.

[0120] If the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information is the second configuration type parameter, then the QoE configuration visible to the network-side device is selected from the QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter as the target QoE configuration.

[0121] For example, QoE configuration types include Traditional QoE and RAN-visible QoE. The second configuration type parameter carried in the QoE configuration release information can be represented as RAN-visible QoE. When the configuration type parameter included in the QoE configuration release information received by the terminal is RAN-visible QoE, the terminal releases the RAN-visible QoE configuration corresponding to the service type parameter.

[0122] In addition, in an optional implementation, the QoE configuration release information in this application embodiment further includes a release reason parameter for indicating the reason for releasing the QoE configuration;

[0123] The release reason parameters include, but are not limited to, normal release and terminal moving out of the valid range of the QoE configuration.

[0124] In this embodiment of the application, after determining the target QoE configuration to be released based on the release type parameter in the QoE configuration release information, the release timing of the target QoE configuration is determined based on the release reason parameter; after the release timing arrives, the target QoE configuration is released.

[0125] In practice, if the release reason parameter indicates that the reason for releasing the QoE configuration is normal release, then the current moment will be used as the release time for the target QoE configuration.

[0126] When the release reason parameter is normal release, this embodiment of the application, after determining the target QoE configuration that needs to be released, immediately releases the target QoE configuration and deletes the measurement reports related to the target QoE configuration.

[0127] If the release reason parameter indicates that the reason for releasing the QoE configuration is that the terminal moves out of the valid range of the QoE configuration, then the release timing of the target QoE configuration is determined according to the current QoE measurement status of the terminal.

[0128] Optionally, if the terminal's current QoE measurement status is "no QoE measurement is being performed", then the current moment is used as the release time for the target QoE configuration; if the terminal's current QoE measurement status is "QoE measurement is being performed", then the moment when the QoE measurement ends is used as the release time for the target QoE configuration.

[0129] It should be noted that after the target QoE configuration is determined, if the terminal is currently performing QoE measurement, the terminal needs to complete the current QoE measurement. After the current QoE measurement is completed, a QoE measurement report is generated based on the QoE measurement results, and the target QoE configuration is released.

[0130] In this embodiment of the application, after the network-side device sends QoE configuration release information to the terminal, the QoE measurement report obtained by the terminal through QoE measurement can be processed in the following manner:

[0131] If the target network device accessed after the terminal moves out of the valid range of the QoE configuration supports reporting measurement reports, then the QoE measurement report will be reported to the target network device.

[0132] It should be noted that since the target network device to which the terminal switches access supports reporting measurement reports, it means that the target network device can receive the measurement reports reported by the terminal. Therefore, the terminal can report the QoE measurement report obtained from the QoE measurement to the target network device.

[0133] If the target network-side device accessed after the terminal moves out of the valid range of the QoE configuration does not support reporting measurement reports, then the QoE measurement report is stored; an optional approach is to report the QoE measurement report to the network-side device that supports reporting measurement reports after the terminal accesses the network-side device that supports reporting measurement reports.

[0134] In this mode, the terminal stores the QoE measurement report until the terminal switches over again and connects to a network-side device that supports reporting measurement reports. The terminal then reports the QoE measurement report to the network-side device that supports reporting measurement reports.

[0135] If the target network-side device accessed after the terminal moves out of the valid range of the QoE configuration does not support reporting measurement reports, then the QoE measurement report is stored; another optional implementation is that if the terminal accesses a network-side node that supports reporting measurement reports within a preset time period, then the QoE measurement report is reported to the network-side device that supports reporting measurement reports; otherwise, the QoE measurement report is deleted.

[0136] In practice, after the terminal determines that the target network-side device accessed after moving out of the valid range of the QoE configuration does not support reporting measurement reports, the QoE measurement report is stored. At the same time, a timer can be started and a preset duration can be set. If the terminal accesses a network-side device that supports reporting measurement reports before the timer expires, the QoE measurement report is reported to the network-side device that supports reporting measurement reports. If the terminal still has not accessed a network-side device that supports reporting measurement reports when the timer expires, the stored QoE measurement report is deleted.

[0137] It should be noted that if the QoE configuration release information sent by the network-side device to the terminal does not include the release reason parameter, the terminal can immediately release the target QoE configuration after receiving the QoE configuration release information and determining the target QoE configuration that needs to be released.

[0138] Optionally, the encoding structure corresponding to the QoE configuration release method implemented in this application can be:

[0139] Example 1:

[0140]

[0141]

[0142] Example 2:

[0143]

[0144] The following describes the QoE configuration release method of this application with reference to several embodiments.

[0145] Example 1

[0146] Assume that the QoE configuration release information sent by the network-side device to the terminal includes a QoE identifier, a configuration type parameter of Traditional QoE, and a release reason of normal release;

[0147] like Figure 2As shown, the QoE configuration release method in this application embodiment includes the following steps:

[0148] Step S201: The network-side device determines that the terminal needs to release the QoE configuration;

[0149] Step S202: The network-side device sends QoE configuration release information to the terminal, which includes a QoE identifier, a configuration type parameter of TraditionalQoE, and a release reason parameter of normal release.

[0150] Step S203: The terminal determines all QoE configurations corresponding to the QoE identification information as the target QoE configurations that need to be released;
