The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and are not to be construed as limitations on the present disclosure. In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist, for example, A and / or B can mean: the existence of A alone, the existence of A and B at the same time, and the existence of B alone.

[0057] The terms used in the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The singular forms "a", "an" and "the" used in the present disclosure and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0058] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various information in the embodiments of the present disclosure, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the words "if" and "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0059] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0060] Before introducing the embodiments of the present disclosure, some terms used in the embodiments of the present disclosure are briefly explained to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

[0061] 1. Quality of Experience (QoE) refers to the user's service quality experience.

[0062] In 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) networks, QoE can be reflected by some application layer parameters. QoE Measurement Collection (QMC) is a method by which operators collect QoE parameters of specific services (such as video and voice) from the application layer of terminal devices through network configuration. Operators can use QMC to obtain the service experience of users in the network, locate users with poor experience and problems, and analyze and optimize the user experience.

[0063] In Release 17 (R17) NR QoE, since the supported services include video streaming, voice, and virtual reality (VR), QoE measurement collection configuration and QoE result reporting are only performed in the radio resource control (RRC)-connected state.

[0064] The QMC can be configured directly from the operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) system (management-based QoE measurement) or signaled from OAM through the core network (signaling-based QoE measurement).

[0065] For signaling-based QoE measurement, OAM initiates QoE measurement activation for a specific terminal device (UE) through the core network, and the next-generation radio access network (access network in 5G system) (NG-RAN) node receives one or more QoE measurement configurations through signaling related to the terminal device. The signaling-based QoE measurement configuration includes an application layer measurement configuration list and corresponding information for QoE measurement collection, such as QoE reference, service type, measurement collector entity (MCE) IP address, slice range, area range, minimization of drive-tests (MDT) alignment information and an indication of available RAN-visible QoE metrics. The NG-RAN node forwards the corresponding QoE measurement configuration to the terminal device through a downlink RRC message.

[0066] For management-based QoE measurement activation, OAM sends one or more QoE measurement configurations to the NG-RAN node. These configurations also include a list of application layer measurement configurations and corresponding information for QoE measurement collection. The NG-RAN node selects a terminal device, area scope, and slice scope that meet the QoE measurement capabilities and configures the QoE measurements for the terminal device.

[0067] As shown in Figure 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a communication system, including: a core network device 11 (for example, a 5G core network (5th generation core, 5GC), an evolved packet core network (evolved packet core, EPC)), an access network device 12 (for example, a continuously evolved node B (gNB), an evolved node B (evolved node B, eNB)), and a terminal device 13.

[0068] Core network equipment 11 refers to equipment within the core network (CN) that provides service support for terminal devices. Examples of core network equipment include the access and mobility management function (AMF), session management function (SMF), and user plane function (UPF), which are not listed here. The AMF is responsible for terminal access management and mobility management; the SMF is responsible for session management, such as establishing user sessions; and the UPF is a user plane functional entity primarily responsible for connecting to external networks.

[0069] The network may further include network elements or entities such as operation, administration and maintenance (OAM), element manager (EM), tracking area code entity (TCE) or measurement collector entity (MCE).

[0070] In the present disclosure, the devices in the core network may also be referred to as entities, network elements or functional entities, for example, AFM may be referred to as AMF entity, AMF network element or AMF functional entity, and SMF may be referred to as SMF entity, SMF network element or SMF functional entity, etc. In future communication systems, such as 6G, the above network elements may also have other names, which are not limited in the present disclosure.

[0071] The access network device 12 refers to a radio access network (RAN) device (or node) that connects a terminal device to a wireless network, and typically includes a base station. Examples of some RAN nodes include: a gNB, a transmission reception point (TRP), an evolved Node B (eNB), a radio network controller (RNC), a Node B (NB), a base station controller (BSC), a base transceiver station (BTS), a home base station (e.g., a home evolved NodeB, or a home Node B, HNB), a base band unit (BBU), or a wireless fidelity (Wifi) access point (AP). In addition, in a network structure, the access network device may include a centralized unit (CU) node, a distributed unit (DU) node, or a RAN device including a CU node and a DU node. RAN equipment, including CU and DU nodes, splits the base station's protocol layer. Some protocol layer functions are centrally controlled by the CU, while some or all of the remaining protocol layer functions are distributed in the DU, which is centrally controlled by the CU. The names "CU" and "DU" are merely example names; devices or entities implementing the same or similar functions may have other names, which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0072] The terminal device 13 is a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to users. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal device can be referred to as user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc., and can include, for example, a handheld device with wireless connection capabilities, or a processing device connected to a wireless modem. The terminal device can communicate with the core network (CN) via the radio access network (RAN) and exchange voice and / or data with the RAN. Some examples of terminal devices include: personal communication service (PCS) phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), barcodes, radio frequency identification (RFID), sensors, satellite navigation systems, such as the global positioning system (GPS) and the Beidou positioning system, laser scanners, and other information sensing devices.

[0073] Terminal devices can also be wearable devices. Wearable devices, also known as wearable smart devices, are a general term for wearable devices that use wearable technology to intelligently design and develop wearable devices for everyday wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes. Wearable devices are portable devices that are worn directly on the body or integrated into the user's clothing or accessories. Wearable devices are not just hardware devices, but also achieve powerful functions through software support, data interaction, and cloud interaction. Broadly speaking, wearable smart devices include those that are full-featured, large in size, and can achieve full or partial functions without relying on smartphones, such as smart watches or smart glasses, as well as those that focus on a certain type of application function and need to be used in conjunction with other devices such as smartphones, such as various smart bracelets, smart helmets, and smart jewelry for vital sign monitoring. The terminal device may also be a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in self-driving, a wireless terminal in remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal in a smart grid, a wireless terminal in transportation safety, a wireless terminal in a smart city, a wireless terminal in a smart home, a terminal device in a future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN), or a vehicle device in vehicle to everything (V2X), customer premises equipment (CPE), etc.

[0074] The functions of the terminal device can be implemented by hardware components within the terminal device, and the hardware components can be a processor and / or a programmable chip within the terminal device. Optionally, the chip can be implemented by an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a programmable logic device (PLD). The PLD can be any one of a complex programmable logical device (CPLD), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a generic array logic (GAL), and a system on a chip (SOC), or any combination thereof.

[0075] The various terminals introduced above, if located on a vehicle (eg, placed in or installed in a vehicle), can be considered as vehicle-mounted terminal devices, which are also called on-board units (OBUs).

[0076] It can be understood that the communication system described in the embodiment of the present disclosure is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0077] The following embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to the communication system 100 shown in Figure 1, or a portion thereof, but are not limited thereto. The entities shown in Figure 1 are illustrative only. The communication system may include all or part of the entities shown in Figure 1, or may include other entities outside of Figure 1. The number and form of the entities may be arbitrary. The connection relationship between the entities is illustrative only. The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0078] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G new radio (NR), future radio access (FRA), new radio access technology (RAT), new radio (NR), new radio access (NX), future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) networks, Device-to-Device (D2D) systems, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) systems, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems utilizing other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on and extending these methods. Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0079] In addition, in order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following points are explained.

[0080] First, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, "used to indicate" may include being used to indicate directly or indirectly. When describing that a certain information is used to indicate A, it may include that the information directly indicates A or indirectly indicates A, but it does not necessarily mean that the information carries A.

[0081] The information indicated by the information is called the information to be indicated. In the specific implementation process, there are many ways to indicate the information to be indicated. For example, but not limited to, the information to be indicated can be directly indicated, such as the information to be indicated itself or the index of the information to be indicated. The information to be indicated can also be indirectly indicated by indicating other information, where there is an association between the other information and the information to be indicated. It is also possible to indicate only a part of the information to be indicated, while the other parts of the information to be indicated are known or agreed in advance. For example, the indication of specific information can be achieved by using the arrangement order of each piece of information that is pre-agreed (for example, specified by the protocol), thereby reducing the indication overhead to a certain extent.

[0082] The information to be indicated can be sent as a whole or as multiple sub-information messages that are sent separately. The transmission periods and / or timings of these sub-information messages can be the same or different. The specific transmission method is not limited in this disclosure. The transmission periods and / or timings of these sub-information messages can be predefined, for example, according to a protocol.

[0083] Second, in the present disclosure, the first, second, and various numerical numbers (e.g., "first node," "second node") are merely distinctions made for ease of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, to distinguish different information, etc.

[0084] Third, the embodiments of the present disclosure list multiple implementation methods to clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the multiple embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented individually, combined with the methods of other embodiments of the embodiments of the present disclosure, or implemented individually or in combination with some methods in other related technologies; the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

[0085] In the related art, the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node, which makes it impossible for the first node to determine the measurement status of the terminal device and to instruct and / or configure the terminal device to perform relevant measurements based on the measurement status information of the terminal device. This is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0086] Based on this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information acquisition method, in which a first node receives measurement status information of a terminal device sent by a second node, where the measurement status information of the terminal device is not stored in the first node; and based on the measurement status information, updates the configuration of a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information. Thus, the first node can obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device and accurately update the configuration of the specific measurement.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a flow chart of an information acquisition method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the information acquisition method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be executed by the first node. As shown in Figure 2, the method may include but is not limited to the following steps:

[0088] S21: Receive measurement status information of a terminal device sent by a second node, where the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node.

[0089] S22: According to the measurement status information, update the configuration of the specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there may be multiple situations in which the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node.

[0091] For example, in one scenario, the first node is a new serving node for a terminal device. For example, the first node is the node to which the terminal device connects after switching from a non-connected state (idle or inactive) to a connected state. In another scenario, the first node previously contained measurement status information for the terminal device, but has now partially or completely lost it. In yet another scenario, the first node itself lacks data storage capabilities and can only obtain the terminal device's measurement status information from other nodes. This information can be obtained through a variety of other methods.

[0092] Of course, the measurement status information in which the terminal device does not exist in the first node may also include other situations besides the above examples, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first node is an access network device; and the second node is at least one of the following:

[0094] terminal equipment;

[0095] core network nodes;

[0096] AMF;

[0097] Access network equipment;

[0098] OAM equipment.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be at least one of a terminal device, a core network node, an AMF, an access network device, an OAM device, etc.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be a terminal device.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be a core network node.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be an AMF.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be an access network device.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be an OAM device.

[0105] It should be noted that the above embodiments are not exhaustive and are only illustrations of some embodiments. The above embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination. The above embodiments are only for illustration and are not intended to be a specific limitation on the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0106] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node receives the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the second node. When the second node is at least one of the terminal device, the core network node, the AMF, the access network device, and the OAM device, the first node can receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by at least one of the terminal device, the core network node, the AMF, the access network device, and the OAM device.

[0113] It can be understood that when the first node is an access network device, the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node. At this time, the first node provides network services for the terminal device. The first node can be a node for the terminal device to switch from a non-connected state to a connected state. At this time, the access network device can receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by another different access network device. The other different access network device can be the access network device to which the terminal device is connected when it is in a connected state before being in a non-connected state.

[0114] The non-connected state may be an RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) or an RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE), etc.

[0115] In one possible implementation, an access network device may receive measurement status information of a terminal device sent by an OAM device.

[0142] It should be noted that the above embodiments are not exhaustive and are only illustrations of some embodiments. The above embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the report status information may include an RVQoE report availability indication, wherein the RVQoE report availability indication may be used to indicate whether the RVQoE report is available and / or may be used to indicate whether the RVQoE report exists.

[0151] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the reporting status information may include storage space status information.

[0152] It should be noted that the above embodiments are not exhaustive and are only illustrations of some embodiments. The above embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination. The above embodiments are only for illustration and are not intended to be a specific limitation on the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0153] In the disclosed embodiment, upon receiving measurement status information of a terminal device sent by a second node, a first node may, based on the measurement status information, perform a configuration update for a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information. Thus, the first node can obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device to accurately perform a configuration update for the specific measurement.

[0154] The specific measurement may include QoE measurement and / or RVQoE measurement.

[0155] In an exemplary embodiment, QoE measurement and collection will only begin when the terminal device is in a connected state and the application layer has services in progress. In Release 18 (R18) NR QoE enhancements, it was decided to support QoE measurement and collection for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS or MBS) services, where the terminal device can perform MBS services in RRC_CONNECTED, RRC_IDLE, and RRC_INACTIVE states. When the terminal device is performing MBS services, if the terminal device state changes, QoE collection at the terminal device application layer will continue.

[0156] If the terminal device accesses the first node when it switches from the RRC_IDLE state to the RRC_CONNECTED state, the first node does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device, and does not know whether the terminal device has performed QoE configuration and / or RVQoE configuration and its current status. The first node cannot perform further operations based on the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0157] In this case, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first node may receive measurement status information of a terminal device sent by a second node, where the first node does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device; and, based on the measurement status information, perform a configuration update for a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information. Thus, the first node can obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device and accurately perform a configuration update for the specific measurement.

[0158] In some embodiments, the first node updating the configuration of a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information according to the measurement status information includes:

[0159] Specific measurements that have already been configured for the terminal device will not be overwritten with new configurations;

[0160] Specific measurements that have already been configured for an end device can be overwritten with a new configuration.

[0161] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node updates the configuration of the specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information according to the measurement status information, including the specific measurement already configured to the terminal device, and does not overwrite it with the new configuration.

[0162] Exemplarily, if the specific measurement is a QoE measurement, for a specific service type, if the measurement status information indicates that there is an existing QoE measurement configuration, or an ongoing QoE measurement, or an ongoing session, the first node (for example, a new base station) will not send a new configuration to overwrite the existing configuration to avoid interruption of the ongoing QoE measurement.

[0163] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node updates the configuration of the specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information according to the measurement status information, including overwriting the specific measurement already configured to the terminal device with the new configuration.

[0164] Exemplarily, if the specific measurement is an RVQoE measurement, if the measurement status information indicates that there is an existing RVQoE measurement configuration or an available RVQoE configuration, the first node can update the configuration of the RVQoE measurement and send a new RVQoE measurement configuration so that the first node (for example, a new base station) can perform scheduling optimization.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first node receives the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the second node, including: receiving the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the second node when the current service range belongs to a specific range, wherein the second node is a terminal device.

[0166] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second node is a terminal device, whether the terminal device sends the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node depends on the judgment of the terminal device.

[0167] The terminal device may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node when the current service range belongs to a specific range.

[0168] The specific range may be a preconfigured / defined (network) range, and the preconfigured (network) range may be provided by a measurement configuration of a specific measurement. The predefined (network) range includes the (network) range in which the terminal device is located when receiving the measurement configuration of the specific measurement.

[0169] It is understandable that the preconfigured / defined (network) range includes the (network) range registered by the terminal device and an optional equivalent (network) range.

[0170] In some embodiments, the terminal device can determine a specific range, which can correspond to a specific public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier. The terminal device can determine whether the current service range belongs to the specific range based on whether the current PLMN identifier is a specific PLMN identifier.

[0171] The terminal device may determine the specific PLMN identifier based on the configuration of the network side, for example, by receiving indication information of the access network device to determine the specific PLMN identifier.

[0172] It can be understood that the access network device that sends the indication information to the terminal device may be the same as or different from the first node.

[0173] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0174] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, a first node receives measurement status information of a terminal device sent by a second node, where the measurement status information of the terminal device is not stored in the first node. Based on the measurement status information, the first node updates the configuration of a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information. Thus, the first node can obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device and accurately update the configuration of the specific measurement.

[0175] Please refer to Figure 3, which is a flowchart of another information acquisition method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the information acquisition method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be executed by the first node. As shown in Figure 3, the method may include but is not limited to the following steps:

[0176] S31: Send a request message to the second node, where the request message is used to request to obtain measurement status information of the terminal device, and the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node.

[0177] S32: Receive measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the second node.

[0178] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device. Therefore, the first node may send a request message to the second node, where the request message is used to request to obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0179] In this case, the second node may receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the first node based on the request message, thereby enabling the first node to obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0180] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be at least one of a terminal device, a core network node (such as an AMF), an access network device, an OAM device, etc.

[0181] In one possible implementation, the access network device may send a request message to the terminal device to request measurement status information of the terminal device, whereby the first node may receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the terminal device based on the request message. Thus, the access network device may obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0182] In one possible implementation, the access network device may send a request message to the core network node to request measurement status information of the terminal device. The first node may then receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the core network node based on the request message. Thus, the access network device may obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0183] In one possible implementation, the access network device may send a request message to the AMF to request measurement status information of the terminal device. The first node may then receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the AMF based on the request message. Thus, the access network device may obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0184] In one possible implementation, the access network device may send a request message to another different access network device (an access network device that configures specific measurement configuration information for the terminal device and is capable of obtaining the measurement status information of the terminal device, or may also be referred to as the last served access network device) to request the measurement status information of the terminal device. Thus, the first node may receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the different access network device based on the request message. Thus, the access network device may obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0185] It can be understood that when the first node is an access network device, the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node. At this time, the first node provides network services for the terminal device. The first node can be a node for the terminal device to switch from a non-connected state to a connected state. At this time, the access network device can receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by another different access network device. The other different access network device can be the access network device to which the terminal device is connected when it is in a connected state before being in a non-connected state.

[0186] The non-connected state may be an RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) or an RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE), etc.

[0187] In one possible implementation, the access network device may send a request message to the OAM device to request the terminal device's measurement status information, whereby the first node may receive the terminal device's measurement status information sent by the OAM device based on the request message. Thus, the access network device may obtain the terminal device's measurement status information.

[0188] It should be noted that the types of the first node and the second node are not limited to the above-mentioned manner. The first node and the second node may also be of other types, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0191] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, S31 and S32 can be implemented separately or in combination with any other steps in the embodiment of the present disclosure, such as being implemented in combination with S21 and S22 in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0192] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, a first node sends a request message to a second node, wherein the request message is used to request measurement status information of a terminal device, and the first node does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device. The first node then receives the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the second node. Thus, the first node can obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0252] Exemplarily, when the reporting status information indicates that the RRC state corresponding to the QoE measurement and / or RVQoE measurement report is an RRC connected state, the first node can determine the need to obtain the QoE measurement and / or RVQoE measurement measurement report based on the reporting status information.

[0253] Exemplarily, when the reporting status information indicates that the RRC state corresponding to the QoE measurement and / or RVQoE measurement report is not the RRC connected state, the first node can determine that it is not necessary to obtain the QoE measurement and / or RVQoE measurement measurement report based on the reporting status information.

The above embodiments are only for illustration and are not intended to be a specific limitation on the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0286] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the first node sends the indication information to the terminal device, it can receive the measurement report sent by the terminal device. Thus, the first node can determine the measurement report to be obtained based on the measurement status information of the terminal device and obtain the measurement report of the terminal device.

[0287] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0289] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, when a first node determines, based on report status information, that a measurement report for a specific measurement needs to be obtained, the first node sends instruction information to a terminal device, where the instruction information is used to instruct the first node to send the measurement report; and the first node receives the measurement report sent by the terminal device. Thus, the first node can determine, based on the measurement status information of the terminal device, that a measurement report needs to be obtained, and obtain the measurement report from the terminal device.

[0290] Please refer to Figure 8, which is a flowchart of another information acquisition method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the information acquisition method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be executed by the second node. As shown in Figure 8, the method may include but is not limited to the following steps:

[0291] S81: Send measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node, where the measurement status information of the terminal device is used by the first node to update the configuration of a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information according to the measurement status information. The measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node.

[0292] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there may be multiple situations in which the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node.

[0293] For example, in one scenario, the first node is a new serving node for a terminal device. For example, the first node is the node to which the terminal device connects after switching from a non-connected state (idle or inactive) to a connected state. In another scenario, the first node previously contained measurement status information for the terminal device, but has now partially or completely lost it. In yet another scenario, the first node itself lacks data storage capabilities and can only obtain the terminal device's measurement status information from other nodes. This information can be obtained through a variety of other methods.

[0294] Of course, the measurement status information in which the terminal device does not exist in the first node may also include other situations besides the above examples, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0295] In some embodiments, the first node is an access network device; and the second node is at least one of the following:

[0296] terminal equipment;

[0297] core network nodes;

[0298] AMF;

[0299] Access network equipment;

[0300] OAM equipment.

[0301] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be at least one of a terminal device, a core network node, an AMF, an access network device, an OAM device, etc.

[0302] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be a terminal device.

[0303] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be a core network node.

[0304] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be an AMF.

[0305] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be an access network device.

[0306] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be an OAM device.

[0307] It should be noted that the above embodiments are not exhaustive and are only illustrations of some embodiments. The above embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination. The above embodiments are only for illustration and are not intended to be a specific limitation on the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0308] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node receives the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the second node. When the second node is at least one of the terminal device, the core network node, the AMF, the access network device, and the OAM device, the first node can receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by at least one of the terminal device, the core network node, the AMF, the access network device, and the OAM device.

[0309] Exemplarily, the second node is a terminal device and an access network device, and the first node can receive a portion of the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the terminal device, and receive another portion of the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by the access network device.

[0310] Of course, the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to be specific limitations on the embodiments of the present disclosure. The second node may be at least one of a terminal device, a core network node, an AMF, an access network device, and an OAM device.

[0311] In one possible implementation, a terminal device may send measurement status information of the terminal device to an access network device. If the access network device does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device, the access network device may then perform a configuration update for a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information based on the measurement status information. Thus, the terminal device may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device to accurately update the configuration of the specific measurement.

[0312] In one possible implementation, a core network node may send measurement status information of a terminal device to an access network device. If the access network device does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device, the access network device may then perform a configuration update for a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information based on the measurement status information. Thus, the core network node may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device to accurately update the configuration for the specific measurement.

[0313] In one possible implementation, the AMF may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device. If the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the access network device, the access network device may then perform a configuration update for the specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information based on the measurement status information. Thus, the AMF may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device to accurately update the configuration of the specific measurement.

[0314] In one possible implementation, a different access network device (an access network device that configures configuration information for a specific measurement for a terminal device and is capable of obtaining measurement status information of the terminal device) may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device. The access network device does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device. The access network device may then update the configuration of the specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information based on the measurement status information. Thus, the different access network device can send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device, thereby accurately updating the configuration of the specific measurement.

[0315] It can be understood that when the first node is an access network device, the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node. At this time, the first node provides network services for the terminal device. The first node can be a node for the terminal device to switch from a non-connected state to a connected state. At this time, the access network device can receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by another different access network device. The other different access network device can be the access network device to which the terminal device is connected when it is in a connected state before being in a non-connected state.

[0316] The non-connected state may be an RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) or an RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE), etc.

[0317] In one possible implementation, the OAM device can send the terminal device's measurement status information to the access network device. If the access network device does not have the terminal device's measurement status information, the access network device can then update the configuration of the specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information based on the measurement status information. Thus, the OAM device can send the terminal device's measurement status information to the access network device to accurately update the configuration of the specific measurement.

[0318] It should be noted that the types of the first node and the second node are not limited to the above-mentioned manner. The first node and the second node may also be of other types, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0319] In some embodiments, the measurement status information includes at least one of the following:

[0320] Configuration status information;

[0325] In some embodiments, the first node may determine, based on the configuration status, whether it is necessary to update the measurement configuration corresponding to the specific measurement and whether it is necessary to send a configuration update to the terminal device.

[0326] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement status information may include reporting status information, wherein the reporting status information may indicate at least one of a reporting availability status, an RRC status corresponding to the report, a RAT type corresponding to the report, and the like.

[0327] In some embodiments, the first node may decide whether to obtain the measurement report of the terminal device based on the report status information.

[0328] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement status information may include a session status, wherein the session status may be an application layer session status, for example, at least one of session pause, session end, and session interruption, etc.

[0329] In some embodiments, the first node may determine, based on the session state, whether it is necessary to update the measurement configuration corresponding to the specific measurement and whether it is necessary to send a configuration update to the terminal device.

[0330] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the measurement status information may include a measurement status, wherein the measurement status may be a measurement status of an application layer.

[0331] In some embodiments, the first node may determine, based on the measurement status, whether it is necessary to update the measurement configuration corresponding to the specific measurement and whether it is necessary to send a configuration update to the terminal device.

[0332] It should be noted that the above embodiments are not exhaustive and are only illustrations of some embodiments. The above embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination. The above embodiments are only for illustration and are not intended to be a specific limitation on the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0333] In some embodiments, the configuration status information includes at least one of the following:

[0334] QoE configuration status;

[0335] RVQoE configuration status;

[0336] Available configuration information for RVQoE;

[0337] RVQoE configuration information.

[0338] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration status information may include the QoE configuration status, wherein the QoE configuration status may include the RRC state corresponding to the QoE configuration and / or the RAT type corresponding to the QoE configuration.

[0339] Exemplarily, the QoE configuration state may be used to indicate that the QoE configuration is for a specific RRC state and / or for a specific RAT type.

[0340] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration status information may include the configuration status of the radio access network visible QoE (RAN visible QoE, RVQoE). The RVQoE configuration status may include the RRC state corresponding to the RVQoE configuration and / or the RAT type corresponding to the RVQoE configuration.

[0341] Exemplarily, the configuration state of RVQoE may be used to indicate that the configuration of RVQoE is for a specific RRC state and / or for a specific RAT type.

[0342] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration status information may include available RVQoE configuration information, wherein the available RVQoE configuration information includes, for example, available RVQoE metrics and / or buffer levels.

[0343] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the configuration status information may include RVQoE configuration information, including, for example, configured RVQoE metrics and / or RVQoE reporting period, and the like.

[0344] It should be noted that the above embodiments are not exhaustive and are only illustrations of some embodiments. The above embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination. The above embodiments are only for illustration and are not intended to be a specific limitation on the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0345] In some embodiments, the RAT type includes at least one of long term evolution (LTE) and new radio (NR).

[0346] In some embodiments, the RRC state includes at least one of an RRC idle state, an RRC inactive state, an RRC connected state, and the like.

[0347] In some embodiments, reporting status information includes at least one of the following:

[0348] QoE report availability indication;

[0349] RVQoE report availability indication;

[0350] Storage space status information.

[0351] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the report status information may include a QoE report availability indication, wherein the QoE report availability indication may be used to indicate whether the QoE report is available and / or whether the QoE report exists.

[0352] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the report status information may include an RVQoE report availability indication, wherein the RVQoE report availability indication may be used to indicate whether the RVQoE report is available and / or may be used to indicate whether the RVQoE report exists.

[0353] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the reporting status information may include storage space status information.

[0354] It should be noted that the above embodiments are not exhaustive and are only illustrations of some embodiments. The above embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination. The above embodiments are only for illustration and are not intended to be a specific limitation on the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0355] In the disclosed embodiment, upon receiving measurement status information of a terminal device sent by a second node, a first node may, based on the measurement status information, perform a configuration update for a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information. Thus, the first node can obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device to accurately perform a configuration update for the specific measurement.

[0356] The specific measurement may include QoE measurement and / or RVQoE measurement.

[0357] In an exemplary embodiment, QoE measurement and collection will only begin when the terminal device is in a connected state and the application layer has services in progress. In Release 18 (R18) NR QoE enhancements, it was decided to support QoE measurement and collection for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS or MBS) services, where the terminal device can perform MBS services in RRC_CONNECTED, RRC_IDLE, and RRC_INACTIVE states. When the terminal device is performing MBS services, if the terminal device state changes, QoE collection at the terminal device application layer will continue.

[0358] If the terminal device accesses the first node when it switches from the RRC_IDLE state to the RRC_CONNECTED state, the first node does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device, and does not know whether the terminal device has performed QoE configuration and / or RVQoE configuration and its current status. The first node cannot perform further operations based on the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0359] In this case, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first node may receive measurement status information of a terminal device sent by a second node, where the first node does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device; and, based on the measurement status information, perform a configuration update for a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information. Thus, the first node can obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device and accurately perform a configuration update for the specific measurement.

[0360] In some embodiments, the second node sends the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node, including: when the current service range belongs to a specific range, sending the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node, wherein the second node is the terminal device.

[0361] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second node is a terminal device, whether the terminal device sends the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node depends on the judgment of the terminal device.

[0362] The terminal device may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node when the current service range belongs to a specific range.

[0363] The specific range may be a preconfigured / defined (network) range, and the preconfigured (network) range may be provided by a measurement configuration of a specific measurement. The predefined (network) range includes the (network) range in which the terminal device is located when receiving the measurement configuration of the specific measurement.

[0364] It is understandable that the preconfigured / defined (network) range includes the (network) range registered by the terminal device and an optional equivalent (network) range.

[0365] In some embodiments, the terminal device can determine a specific range, which can correspond to a specific public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier. The terminal device can determine whether the current service range belongs to the specific range based on whether the current PLMN identifier is a specific PLMN identifier.

[0366] The terminal device may determine the specific PLMN identifier based on the configuration of the network side, for example, by receiving indication information of the access network device to determine the specific PLMN identifier.

[0367] It can be understood that the access network device that sends the indication information to the terminal device may be the same as or different from the first node.

[0368] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0369] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, a second node sends measurement status information of a terminal device to a first node. The measurement status information of the terminal device is used by the first node to update the configuration of a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information based on the measurement status information. The measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node. Thus, the second node can send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node to accurately update the configuration of the specific measurement.

[0370] Please refer to Figure 9, which is a flowchart of another information acquisition method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the information acquisition method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be executed by the second node. As shown in Figure 9, the method may include but is not limited to the following steps:

[0371] S91: Receive a request message sent by a first node, where the request message is used to request to obtain measurement status information of a terminal device.

[0372] S92: Send measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node, where the measurement status information of the terminal device is used by the first node to update the configuration of a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information according to the measurement status information. The measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node.

[0373] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device. Therefore, the second node can receive a request message sent by the first node, where the request message is used to request to obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0374] In this case, the second node may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node based on the request message. Thus, the second node may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node.

[0375] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the second node may be at least one of a terminal device, a core network node, an AMF, an access network device, an OAM device, etc.

[0376] In a possible implementation, the terminal device may receive a request message sent by the access network device, requesting to obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device, whereby the terminal device may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device. Thus, the access network device may obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0377] In one possible implementation, a core network node may receive a request message sent by an access network device, requesting to obtain measurement status information of a terminal device. Thus, the core network node may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device. Thus, the access network device may obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0378] In one possible implementation, the AMF may receive a request message sent by an access network device, requesting to obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device, whereby the AMF may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device. Thus, the access network device may obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0379] In one possible implementation, another different access network device (an access network device that configures specific measurement configuration information for the terminal device and can obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device, or may also be referred to as the access network device that last provided service) may receive a request message sent by the access network device, requesting to obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device. Thus, the another different access network device may transmit the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device. Thus, the access network device may obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0380] It can be understood that when the first node is an access network device, the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node. At this time, the first node provides network services for the terminal device. The first node can be a node for the terminal device to switch from a non-connected state to a connected state. At this time, the access network device can receive the measurement status information of the terminal device sent by another different access network device. The other different access network device can be the access network device to which the terminal device is connected when it is in a connected state before being in a non-connected state.

[0381] The non-connected state may be an RRC idle state (RRC_IDLE) or an RRC inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE), etc.

[0382] In a possible implementation, the OAM device may receive a request message sent by the access network device, requesting to obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device, thereby the OAM device may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the access network device.

[0383] It should be noted that the types of the first node and the second node are not limited to the above-mentioned manner. The first node and the second node may also be of other types, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0384] It should be noted that, for the relevant description of the measurement status information, reference may be made to the relevant description in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0385] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0386] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, S91 and S92 can be implemented separately, or they can be implemented together with any other steps in the embodiment of the present disclosure, such as being implemented together with S81 in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0387] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, a second node receives a request message sent by a first node, wherein the request message is used to request measurement status information of a terminal device; and sends the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node. The measurement status information of the terminal device is used by the first node to perform a configuration update for a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information based on the measurement status information. The measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node. Thus, the second node can send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node based on the request message of the first node.

[0388] Please refer to Figure 10, which is a flowchart of another information acquisition method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the information acquisition method of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be executed by the second node. As shown in Figure 10, the method may include but is not limited to the following steps:

[0390] S102: Save the configuration information in the configuration variables.

[0391] S103: Send measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node, where the measurement status information of the terminal device is used by the first node to update the configuration of a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information according to the measurement status information. The measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node.

[0392] For the relevant description of S103 , please refer to the relevant description in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0393] For the relevant description of the first node, please refer to the relevant description in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0394] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the second node is a terminal device, the second node may receive configuration information sent by a third node, where the configuration information includes information for generating measurement status information of the terminal device. Thus, upon receiving the configuration information sent by the third node, the second node may generate the measurement status information of the terminal device. Thus, the second node may obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0395] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the second node receives the configuration information sent by the third node, the second node may save the configuration information in a configuration variable.

[0396] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after acquiring the measurement status information of the terminal device, the second node may send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node.

[0397] The first node and the third node may be the same or different.

[0398] In some embodiments, the first node is an LTE access network device, and the third node is an NR access network device; or

[0399] The first node is an NR access network device, and the third node is an LTE access network device; or

[0400] The first node is an LTE access network device, and the third node is an LTE access network device; or

[0401] The first node is an NR access network device, and the third node is an NR access network device.

[0402] It can be understood that the information acquisition method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applicable to the same radio access technology (intra-RAT) and / or different radio access technologies (inter-RAT).

[0403] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node is an LTE access network device, and the third node is an NR access network device.

[0404] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node is an NR access network device, and the third node is an LTE access network device.

[0405] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node is an LTE access network device, and the third node is an LTE access network device.

[0406] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node is an NR access network device, and the third node is an NR access network device.

[0407] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the description related to the measurement status information can refer to the description related to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0408] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0409] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, S101 to S103 can be implemented separately or in combination with any other steps in the embodiment of the present disclosure, such as being implemented in combination with S81 and / or S91 and S92 in the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this.

[0410] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, a second node receives configuration information sent by a third node, where the configuration information includes information for generating measurement status information of a terminal device, and the second node is a terminal device; stores the configuration information in a configuration variable; and sends the measurement status information of the terminal device to a first node. The measurement status information of the terminal device is used by the first node to perform a configuration update for a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information based on the measurement status information, and the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first node. Thus, the second node can determine the measurement status information of the terminal device based on the configuration information of the third node and send the measurement status information of the terminal device to the first node.

[0411] For the purpose of understanding the embodiments of the present disclosure, an exemplary embodiment is provided as shown in FIG10 a , in which the first node and the third node are the same access network device, and the second node is a terminal device.

[0412] The access network device may be a new access network device that the terminal device switches from an idle state to a connected state. Furthermore, the access network device may send configuration information to the terminal device when the terminal device is in a connected state before being in the idle state. The configuration information includes information for generating measurement status information of the terminal device. Thereafter, the terminal device switches from the connected state to the idle state.

[0413] It is understandable that the access network device will delete all terminal device information when the terminal device switches to the idle state. Since the first access network device is the terminal device that switches from the idle state to the connected state, the new access network device that is connected does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0414] 1a. When a terminal device is in a connected state and accesses an access network device, the access network device sends configuration information to the terminal device, where the configuration information includes information for generating measurement status information.

[0415] 2a. After receiving the configuration information sent by the access network device, the terminal device can generate measurement status information according to the configuration information.

[0416] At this time, the terminal device switches from the connected state to the idle state, and the access network device will delete all information of the terminal device.

[0417] If the terminal device subsequently switches from the idle state to the connected state, it is connected to the access network device.

[0418] 3a. The terminal device can send measurement status information to the access network device.

[0419] 4a. After receiving the measurement status information sent by the terminal device, the access network device may update the configuration of the specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information according to the measurement status information; wherein the specific measurement may be QoE measurement and / or RVQoE measurement.

[0420] The relevant descriptions of the methods of the above steps have been described in detail in some of the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0421] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the access network device, the measurement status information sent by the terminal device can be received. Thus, the measurement status information of the terminal device can be determined, and the specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information can be configured and updated based on the measurement status information to accurately update the configuration of the specific measurement.

[0422] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an exemplary embodiment is provided as shown in FIG10b , in which the first node and the third node are different access network devices, and the second node is a terminal device. The first node is a first access network device, and the third node is a second access network device.

[0423] Among them, the first access network device can be a new access network device that the terminal device switches from a non-connected state (idle state or inactive state) to a connected state, and accesses; the second access network device can be an access network device that sends configuration information to the terminal device, and the configuration information includes information used to generate measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0424] In a possible implementation, the second access network device may be an access network device that the terminal device accesses before accessing the first access network device.

[0425] It can be understood that since the first access network device is a new access network device that is connected when the terminal device switches from a non-connected state (idle state or inactive state) to a connected state, it does not have the measurement status information of the terminal device.

[0426] 1b. The second access network device sends configuration information to the terminal device, where the configuration information includes information for generating measurement status information.

[0427] 2b. After receiving the configuration information sent by the second access network device, the terminal device may generate measurement status information according to the configuration information.

[0428] 3b. The terminal device sends measurement status information to the first access network device.

[0429] 4b. After receiving the measurement status information sent by the terminal device, the first access network device may update the configuration of the specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information according to the measurement status information; wherein the specific measurement may be QoE measurement and / or RVQoE measurement.

[0430] The relevant descriptions of the methods of the above steps have been described in detail in some of the above embodiments and will not be elaborated here.

[0431] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the measurement status information of the terminal device does not exist in the first access network device, the measurement status information sent by the terminal device can be received, thereby determining the measurement status information of the terminal device, and based on the measurement status information, the specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information can be configured and updated to accurately update the configuration of the specific measurement.

Thus, the second node can send the measurement report to the first node based on the indication information of the first node.

[0488] It should be noted that the above embodiments are not exhaustive and are only illustrations of some embodiments. The above embodiments can be implemented individually or in combination. The above embodiments are only for illustration and are not intended to be a specific limitation on the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0489] In the disclosed embodiment, upon receiving measurement status information of a terminal device sent by a second node, a first node may, based on the measurement status information, perform a configuration update for a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information. Thus, the first node can obtain the measurement status information of the terminal device to accurately perform a configuration update for the specific measurement.

[0490] The specific measurement may include QoE measurement and / or RVQoE measurement.

[0491] In some embodiments, the first node is an access network device.

[0492] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node may be an access network device, and the third node may also be an access network device.

[0493] The first node and the third node may be the same or different.

[0494] In some embodiments, the first node is an LTE access network device, and the third node is an NR access network device; or

[0495] The first node is an NR access network device, and the third node is an LTE access network device; or

[0499] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node is an LTE access network device, and the third node is an NR access network device.

[0500] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node is an NR access network device, and the third node is an LTE access network device.

[0501] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first node is an LTE access network device, and the third node is an LTE access network device.

[0503] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0504] In this embodiment or example, unless there is any contradiction, each step can be independent, arbitrarily combined or exchanged in order, and the optional methods or optional examples can be arbitrarily combined and can be arbitrarily combined with other embodiments or examples.

[0505] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, a third node sends configuration information to a second node, where the configuration information includes information for generating measurement status information for a terminal device. The second node then sends the measurement status information for the terminal device to the first node. Based on the measurement status information, the first node then updates the configuration of a specific measurement corresponding to the measurement status information. The first node does not have the measurement status information for the terminal device, and the second node is the terminal device. This allows for accurate configuration updates for specific measurements.

[0506] In an exemplary embodiment, in the related art, QoE measurement and collection will only begin when the terminal equipment (UE) is in a connected state and there is business in the application layer. In the R18NR QoE enhancement, it is decided to support QoE measurement and collection for MBS services. The UE can perform MBS services in the RRC_CONNECTED, RRC_IDLE, and RRC_INACTIVE states. When the UE is performing MBS services, if the UE state changes, the UE application layer QoE collection will continue.

[0507] If a UE connects to a new base station while transitioning from RRC_IDLE to RRC_CONNECTED, the new base station does not have the UE's context and is unaware of the UE's QoE configuration and current status. Therefore, the new base station cannot perform further operations based on the UE's measurement status.

[0508] Based on this, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when an RRC IDLE UE accesses a new base station, the UE can report comprehensive measurement status information, allowing the new base station to more accurately configure QoE and / or RVQoE and / or receive QoE and / or RVQoE reports.

[0509] In some embodiments, the first node (base station) performs: receiving state information of the first measurement from the second node, and the first node updating a configuration of the first measurement according to the state information of the first measurement;

[0510] The second node may be a UE, a core network node, a base station or an OAM.

[0511] In some embodiments, the base station serving as the first node, i.e., the new base station accessed by the UE from the idle state, receives the status information of the first measurement from the UE serving as the second node; in other embodiments, the base station serving as the first node receives the status information of the first measurement from the core network node (e.g., AMF) serving as the second node; in still other embodiments, the base station serving as the first node (i.e., the node accessed by the UE from the idle state) receives the status information of the first measurement from the base station serving as the second node (i.e., the node configured for the first measurement by the UE); in still other embodiments, the base station serving as the first node (i.e., the node accessed by the UE from the idle state) receives the status information of the first measurement from the OAM serving as the second node; it should be understood that the above are merely examples, and the first node and the second node are not limited thereto.

[0519] The report status information of the first measurement may be used to indicate the report availability status of the first measurement, the RRC state corresponding to the report of the first measurement, the RAT type corresponding to the report of the first measurement, and the like.

[0520] The session state may be an application layer session state, such as session pause, session end, session interruption, etc.

[0521] In some embodiments, the configuration status information of the first measurement may include at least one of the following:

[0522] QoE configuration status;

[0525] RVQoE configuration information, including configured RVQoE metrics and / or RVQoE reporting period.

[0526] In some embodiments, the configuration state may include configuring a corresponding RRC state and configuring a corresponding RAT type. For example, the configuration is for a specific RRC state and / or RAT type.

[0527] The RRC state includes RRC_IDLE, RRC_CONNECTED, or RRC_INACTIVE state.

[0528] The RAT type includes NR or LTE.

[0534] The first node determines whether to update the first measurement configuration according to a configuration state, a session state and / or a measurement state of the first measurement;

[0535] The first node determines whether to receive the first measurement report according to a report status of the first measurement.

[0536] In some embodiments, in response to the first node deciding to receive the first measurement report, the first node sends first measurement report indication information to the UE.

[0537] In some embodiments, the first measurement report is included in an RRC message sent by the base station to the UE, for example, the RRC message is a UE information request message.

[0542] The UE receives the RVQoE available configuration information and / or RVQoE configuration information from the third node, and stores the information in a configuration variable.

[0543] In some embodiments, the second node is a node that configures the first measurement for the UE. The first node and the second node may be the same or different.

[0544] In some embodiments, the method is applicable to intra-RAT and / or inter-RAT.

[0545] In some embodiments: the base station is an LTE base station, and the first measurement configuration / report is issued by an NR base station or obtained based on the configuration issued by the NR base station.

[0546] In some embodiments: the base station is an NR base station, and the first measurement configuration / report is issued by an LTE base station or is obtained based on the configuration issued by the LTE base station.

[0547] In some embodiments, whether to send the status information of the first measurement depends on the judgment of the UE, including determining whether the current service range (network) of the terminal belongs to a pre-configured range (network) or a predefined range (network). The pre-configured range (network) can be provided by the first measurement configuration, and the predefined range (network) includes the range (registered network and optional equivalent network) in which the terminal is located when receiving the first measurement configuration.
