Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0101] The relevant concepts mentioned in this application are briefly described below.

[0102] 1. Quality of Experience (QoE) Measurement

[0103] The protocol defines two types of QoE measurement. One is signaling based QoE measurement, in which the operation administration and maintenance (OAM) sends QoE configuration to the core network (CN), the core network sends QoE configuration to the radio access network (RAN), and the RAN forwards the QoE configuration to the user equipment (UE). In this case, the configuration is for a specific UE. The other is management based QoE measurement, in which the OAM directly sends QoE configuration to the RAN, and the RAN forwards the QoE configuration to the UE. In this case, the configuration is currently performed for multiple UEs. In the system framework of the two measurement configurations based on signaling and management, the process of QoE configuration sent by the RAN to the UE is the same, and the configuration parameters are also the same, and are sent to the UE through radio resource control (RRC) signaling. Signaling based measurement is generally used for measurement collection of specified users, and management based measurement is generally used for measurement collection of specified areas.

[0104] The R16 protocol version defines QoE measurement management parameters, including the following parameters (not all of which are listed):

[0105] A. QoE collection entity address;

[0106] This is a parameter that defines the IP address to which the Quality Management Center (QMC) records will be transferred. Either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses can be used.

[0107] B. QoE reference (QoEreference);

[0108] This parameter defines the network request session. QoEreference should be globally unique, so it consists of the following:

[0109] Mobile Country Code (MCC) + Mobile Network Code (MNC) + QoE Measurement Collection (QMC) ID, where MCC and MNC come from the management system together with the trace activation request and are used to define a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) included in the management system. The QMC ID is a 3-byte string.

[0110] C. QMC configuration file;

[0111] The QoE profile defined by the application layer service.

[0112] D. Service Type;

[0113] Define the service types for QoE measurement, including streaming media, multimedia telephony service for ims (MTSI), etc.

[0114] After the UE's access stratum (AS) receives the QoE configuration through the RRC message, the AS layer will send the QoE configuration to the application layer through the directory defined by ATcommand, including the parameters service Type, qoEReference and QMC configuration file. When the service of the service type corresponding to the configuration begins to occur, the application layer begins to measure according to the configuration file and generates a measurement QoE report according to 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 through the AT command, and the UE AS sends it to the RAN through an RRC message. The RAN sends the report to the corresponding server corresponding to the IP address defined in the configuration file. This completes the QoE configuration and measurement report collection process.

[0115] The base station can also configure the base station visible QoE based on the QoE configured by the above OAM, that is, the radio access network visible QoE (RAN visiable QoE, RVQoE). Because the ordinary QoE report is mainly used by OAM and is encoded in the format defined by OAM, the base station does not decode the QoE report in principle; if the base station also intends to improve and guarantee QoE, it can configure the UE to report RVQoE, so that the base station can directly receive and use RVQoE.

[0116] 2. Introduction to non-public network (NPN)

[0117] NPN can be deployed in a variety of ways. It can be deployed independently of the existing 5G public network, that is, a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN), or it can be deployed on the existing 5G public network in a shared manner, that is, a public network integrated NPN (PNI-NPN).

[0118] The network node can support both public and private networks. For a cell of a base station, it can support public network, SNPN, PNI-NPN or a combination of public network / SNPN / PNI-NPN. UE can access public network, SNPN, PNI-NPN or a combination of public network / SNPN / PNI-NPN according to its capabilities and settings.

[0119] The SNPN is identified by a combination of a PLMN ID and a network identifier (NID). A network node may support certain combinations of PLMN ID and NID and broadcast them in system information broadcasts.

[0120] Terminals supporting SNPN will be configured with subscription information, which includes the PLMNs supported by the UE, and the combination of PLMNs and NIDs. If a terminal supporting SNPN is set to SNPN mode, the terminal can only access SNPN and cannot access the public network. When the UE accesses the network, it reads the broadcast information of the cell. If the combination of PLMN ID and NID in the broadcast is supported by the UE, the UE can select the network for access.

[0121] PNI-NPN is deployed based on the existing public PLMN and defines a method for controlling UE access - Closed Access Groups (CAG). CAG is used to allow only authorized terminals to access PNI-NPN and prevent unauthorized terminals from accessing PNI-NPN. Each CAG has an identifier (CAG ID) to distinguish it from other CAGs.

[0122] The base station cell can support multiple public PLMNs, a combination of PLMN and one or more CAGs. Of course, the base station cell can also only support the public network, or only support PNI-NPN (a combination of PLMN and one or more CAGs), or support both the public network and PNI-NPN. The combination of multiple CAGs supported by the cell forms a CAG list (hereinafter referred to as Cell CAG list) to indicate the CAG list it supports, which is broadcast in the system information.

[0123] A UE can support a combination of PLMN and one or more CAGs. Each UE has a CAG allowed list (hereinafter referred to as Allowed CAG list) to indicate which CAGs the terminal can access. The terminal can be set to CAG-ONLY mode. In this mode, the terminal can only access the CAG network and cannot access the public network. Users supporting a certain CAG can access the PNI-NPN through the cell supporting this CAG.

[0124] When the UE initially accesses the network, the network will also judge the legitimacy of the UE's access, and the core network will determine whether the UE can access the network based on the UE's contract information. After the UE accesses the network, the core network sends the private network information supported by the UE to the base station, including the supported combination of PLMN and NID, the combination of PLMN and CAG, whether it supports access to the public network, and other information.

[0125] When the terminal switches, the network will determine whether the target cell meets the private network access requirements, specifically: 1. When the UE accesses SNPN, the combination of PLMN and NID cannot change during the switch, that is, the target cell must also support this combination to be used as a candidate switch target cell. 2. When the UE accesses PNI-NPN, if the UE only supports PNI-NPN, the CAG list supported by the access target cell and the CAG list supported by the UE need to have an intersection. If the UE supports both PNI-NPN and public PLMN, the access target cell can meet the PNI-NPN access requirements or meet the requirements for accessing the public network, and can be used as a candidate target cell.

[0127] The following is an introduction to the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The measurement, measurement configuration method, device, terminal and network equipment provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system can be a system using the fifth generation (5th Generation, 5G) mobile communication technology (hereinafter referred to as a 5G system). Those skilled in the art can understand that the 5G NR system is only an example and is not a limitation.

[0128] The embodiments of the present application provide a measurement and measurement configuration method, apparatus, terminal and network equipment to realize the QoE measurement collection of NPN.

[0129] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the method and the device solve the problem in a similar principle, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

[0130] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a measurement method, which is performed by a terminal and includes:

[0131] Step S201, receiving quality of experience (QoE) measurement configuration information sent by a first network device, wherein the QoE measurement configuration information includes non-public network collection range indication information;

[0132] Step S202: Perform QoE measurement according to the QoE measurement configuration information when the network is located within the collection range indicated by the non-public network collection range indication information.

[0133] It should be noted that by configuring the non-public network collection range indication information for the terminal, the terminal can perform QoE measurement within the collection range indicated by the non-public network collection range indication information, thereby realizing QoE measurement collection and optimization of the non-public network.

[0134] In some embodiments, the non-public network collection range indication information is used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0135] A11. Public network integrated non-public network (PNI-NPN) collection scope;

[0136] In some embodiments, the PNI-NPN collection scope includes a closed access group (CAG list);

[0137] Specifically, each node in the CAG list includes: a public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier and a CAG identifier, or each node in the CAG list includes a CAG identifier.

[0138] A12. Scope of collection of independent non-public network (SNPN);

[0139] In some embodiments, the SNPN collection scope includes at least one of the following:

[0140] A121, SNPN cell list;

[0141] In some embodiments, each node in the cell list includes: a cell identifier and / or a NID.

[0142] A122, Tracking Area Identity (TAI) list under SNPN;

[0143] In some embodiments, each node in the TAI list includes a TAI identity and / or a NID.

[0144] A123, NID list under SNPN;

[0145] In some embodiments, each node in the NID list includes a PLMN identity and / or a NID.

[0146] In some embodiments, for the first network device, it can receive QoE measurement configuration information from the core network node. For example, the management station (such as OAM) triggers the QoE measurement configuration, first sends the QoE measurement configuration information to the core network node, and then the core network node sends the QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal.

[0147] It should be noted here that the QoE measurements triggered by the management station include signaling-based QoE measurements and management-based QoE measurements, where the management-based QoE measurements can be sent directly to network equipment (such as base stations) and do not involve the influence of interface protocols. Therefore, this application only discusses signaling-based QoE measurements, that is, the management station triggers the signaling-based QoE measurement configuration, first sends the QoE measurement configuration information to the core network node, and then the core network node sends the QoE measurement configuration information to the terminal.

[0148] It should be noted that the QoE measurement configuration on the NG interface supports selecting one of the following options for UE to collect QoE measurements:

[0149] B11. Cell list, the cell list includes cell identifiers of multiple cells.

[0150] B12. Tracking Area Code (TAC) list, where the TAC list contains multiple TACs.

[0151] B13, TAI list, TAI consists of PLMN+TAC.

[0152] B14, PLMN list.

[0153] It should be further explained that, in order to support the collection of QoE measurements for non-public networks, the QoE measurement configuration information sent by the core network node must include not only at least one of the above B11-B14, but also the above A11 and / or A12.

[0154] In some embodiments, the configuration method of carrying non-public network collection range indication information in the QoE measurement configuration information and sending it to the terminal can be regarded as terminal-controlled QoE measurement; in some embodiments, in another case, for the terminal in the connected state, the QoE measurement can be controlled by the first network device, that is, the first network device will not send non-public network collection range indication information to the terminal. When the terminal is within the QoE measurement collection range, the first network device triggers the terminal to report the QoE measurement. When the terminal is outside the QoE measurement collection range, the first network device triggers the suspension of QoE measurement reporting.

[0155] It should also be noted that if the terminal is in an idle or inactive state, the first network device does not know the cell where the terminal is located, so it is unable to perform QoE measurement control, so the QoE measurement is controlled by the terminal. For example: when the terminal receives broadcast services in an idle state, if it is necessary to collect broadcast services under a non-public network, it is necessary to send the QoE measurement collection range under the non-public network (i.e., the non-public network collection range indication information) to the terminal, which is controlled by the terminal. The non-public network collection range indication information needs to be sent to the terminal by the first network device through the air interface.

[0156] In some embodiments, after performing QoE measurement on the first network device, the terminal may report the QoE measurement result to the first network device.

[0157] In some embodiments, because the terminal is mobile, it may be that the first network device is accessed or resident at the previous moment, and the terminal moves to the second network device at the next moment (that is, the second network device is a network device that the terminal switches to access in a connected state, or the second network device is a network device that the terminal re-accesses in an idle state or an inactive state). In order to enable the terminal to perform non-public network-related QoE measurements under the second network device, in one implementation, the second network device needs to obtain non-public network collection range indication information; in some embodiments, the second network device can obtain the non-public network collection range indication information through at least one of the following:

[0158] C11, receiving non-public network collection range indication information sent by the terminal;

[0159] That is to say, in this case, after the terminal accesses the second network device, if the terminal is in a connected state, the non-public network collection range indication information can be directly sent to the second network device.

[0160] C12, receiving non-public network collection range indication information sent by the core network node;

[0161] In some embodiments, in this case, the core network node sends the non-public network collection range indication information to the second network device.

[0162] C13. Receive non-public network collection range indication information sent by the first network device;

[0163] In some embodiments, in this case, the first network device sends the non-public network collection range indication information to the second network device.

[0164] It should be noted that, when the QoE measurement is controlled by the network side, the second network device needs to obtain the non-public network collection range indication information so that the second network device can control the QoE measurement after the terminal accesses the second network device.

[0165] For example, for a terminal in a connected state, if the terminal switches access from a first network device to a second network device, the first network device may send the non-public network collection range indication information to the second network device.

[0166] That is to say, if the terminal is in a connected state, the QoE measurement is controlled by the first network device. When the terminal switches to the second network device, the first network device needs to send the QoE measurement configuration information to the second network device, and the second network device continues to control and collect the QoE measurement, that is, the first network device needs to transmit the non-public network collection range indication information to the second network device through the XN interface.

[0167] For example, for an inactive terminal, if the terminal switches access from a first network device to a second network device, in some embodiments, the terminal may send the non-public network collection range indication information to the second network device after accessing the second network device; or, in some embodiments, the first network device may also send the non-public network collection range indication information to the second network device through the XN interface / X2 interface; or, in some embodiments, the second network device may also obtain the non-public network collection range indication information from the core network node through the NG interface.

[0168] That is to say, if the terminal is in an inactive state, the first network has configured the terminal to collect QoE measurements for non-public networks. When the terminal moves to the second network device to re-access the network and restore the connection, the second network device is also required to continue to collect QoE measurements for non-public networks in the connected state. Therefore, the range of QoE measurement collection for non-public networks needs to be sent to the second network device, and any one of C11-C13 can be used; in some embodiments, when C12 is used, the non-public network collection range indication information can be sent through a path switch request confirmation (PATH SWITCH REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE) message; in some embodiments, when C13 is used, the non-public network collection range indication information can be sent through a RETRIEVE UE CONTEXT RESPONSE message.

[0169] For example, for an idle terminal, if the terminal switches access from a first network device to a second network device, in some embodiments, the terminal may send non-public network collection range indication information to the second network device after accessing the second network device; or, in some embodiments, the second network device may also obtain the non-public network collection range indication information from the core network node through the NG interface.

[0170] That is to say, if the terminal is in an idle state, the first network device has configured the terminal to collect QoE measurements for non-public networks. When the terminal moves to the second network device to re-access the network and restore the connection, the second network device is also required to continue to collect QoE measurements for non-public networks in the connected state. Therefore, the range of QoE measurement collection for non-public networks needs to be sent to the second network device, and any one of C11-C12 can be used; in some embodiments, when using C12, the non-public network collection range indication information can be sent through the initial context setup request (INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP REQUEST) message and / or the terminal context modification request (UE CONTEXT MODIFICATION REQUEST) message, or it can be sent through a newly added NG interface message.

[0171] In some embodiments, in one implementation, after the terminal performs QoE measurement on the second network device, the terminal may report the QoE measurement result to the second network device.

[0172] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application can realize the collection of QoE measurements according to the non-public network collection range specified by OAM, thereby realizing the measurement collection and optimization of a specific non-public network.
