The entities may be connected or disconnected, and the connection may be in any manner, including direct or indirect, wired or wireless.

[0183] The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER3G, 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 (Ultra Mobile Broadband), and other technologies. Broadband (UMB), IEEE802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) network, Device-to-Device (D2D) system, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) system, Internet of Things (IoT) system, Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), systems using other communication methods, and next-generation systems based on them. In addition, multiple systems can also be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G, etc.) for application.

[0184] In related technologies, QMC can be configured directly from the OAM system (management-based QoE measurement) or signaled from the Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM) entity through the core network (signaling-based QoE measurement).

[0185] For signaling-based QoE measurement (hereinafter referred to as "s-based QoE"), OAM initiates QoE measurement activation for a specific UE through the core network, and the NG-RAN node receives one or more QoE measurement configurations through UE-related signaling. 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, MCE IP address, slice range, area range, 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 via a downlink RRC message.

[0186] For management-based QoE measurements (hereinafter referred to as "m-based QoE"), the 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 the corresponding information used for QoE measurement collection. The NG-RAN node selects UE(s), area scopes, and slice scopes that meet the QoE measurement capabilities and configures the QoE measurements for the UE.

[0187] In the NR-DC scenario:

[0188] For s-based QoE, it can only be configured by the MN, but QoE can be reported by the MN or SN, or RVQoE can be reported by the MN and / or SN;

[0189] For m-based QoE, it can be configured by either the MN or the SN, because both the MN and the SN may receive configurations from the OAM. However, the RRC identification (ID) (used to identify a specific QoE measurement of a UE in the RAN and mapped to the QoE reference) is allocated by the MN, and reporting is done by the MN or SN reporting QoE, or the MN and / or SN reporting RVQoE.

[0190] Some guidelines for configuring QoE reporting under NR-DC:

[0191] The MN may receive the QoE / RVQoE report from the UE via the fourth signaling radio bearer (SRB4) or via the master cell group (MCG);

[0192] The SN may receive the QoE / RVQoE report from the UE via the fifth signaling radio bearer (SRB5) or via the secondary cell group (SCG);

[0193] For the QoE configured by the MN, its reporting configuration (ie, QoE report / RVQoE report reported by the MN or SN) needs to be determined by the MN and sent to the UE, and vice versa.

[0194] If the MN wants to request the SN to receive QoE / RVQoE reports, the MN needs to request the SN so that the SN can establish SRB5 and configure corresponding resources, and vice versa.

[0195] It can be seen that the QoE configuration node (MN or SN) has not confirmed whether the bearer managed by the corresponding node (SN or MN) is established or whether the bearer status (for example, SCG failure, MCG failure) has changed, in order to prepare a reliable reporting configuration for the terminal device and ensure the complete transmission of the QoE report.

[0196] In the present disclosure, the first node (configuration node for measurement reporting) determines the configuration information of the terminal measurement reporting based on the first information sent by the corresponding node, thereby making the determined configuration information of the measurement reporting more accurate and reliable, and ensuring the complete and reliable transmission of the measurement reporting.

[0289] In some embodiments, if the second indication information in the information of the recovery configuration of the reporting failure is "true", it means that the UE's AS can cache the received measurement report until new measurement reporting configuration information is received; if there is no second indication information, the UE AS can discard the measurement report received from the upper layer.

[0290] In some embodiments, if the third indication information in the information of the recovery configuration of the failed report is "true", then after the measurement reporting fails, the UE needs to provide auxiliary information to the first node 101 when transmitting the measurement report through other available bearers.
