Description

Information measurement method, electronic device, and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular to an information measurement method, electronic equipment, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] To understand the end-to-end customer experience, such as throughput, data loss, and latency, Quality of Experience (QoE) measurement is gaining increasing attention from carriers. QoE measurements can be customized for different applications and are primarily performed at the application layer of user devices (UEs). These measurements can measure parameters such as throughput, data loss, and latency. The QoE measurement collection (QMC) function is activated by Operation Administration and Maintenance (OAM) through a separate QMC framework. For signaling-based QoE, the QMC configuration for a specific UE is sent from OAM to the core network. The core network then sends the QMC configuration to the Radio Access Network (RAN) nodes via signaling associated with the UE. For management-based QoE, OAM sends the QMC configuration to the RAN nodes. The RAN selects UEs that meet the QoE measurement criteria and sends the configuration to them. RAN-Visible QoE (RVQoE) is a sub-function of QoE. The RAN can configure RVQoE based on its needs when QoE is activated. RVQoE should be associated with QoE through a QoE measurement identifier (ID). The user equipment collects RVQoE measurement results and reports them to the RAN node. However, existing QoE measurement processes, such as signaling-based QoE measurements, are overwritten by management-based QoE measurements. Currently, signaling-based QoE measurements lack corresponding protection strategies.

[0024] FIG1 is a flowchart of an information measurement method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The present application is applicable to user experience measurement in wireless communication scenarios. The method can be performed by an information measurement device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware. Referring to FIG1 , the method provided in an embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0025] Step 110: Perform user experience measurement according to the acquired first signaling.

[0026] The first signaling may be a signaling for triggering user experience measurement.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, user experience measurement may be performed when the first signaling is received.

[0028] Step 120: Process the measurement report of the user experience measurement.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, a measurement report of user experience measurement may be generated and the measurement report may be processed. The processing may include but is not limited to storing the measurement report and reporting the measurement report.

[0030] By performing user experience measurement according to the acquired first signaling and processing the measurement report of the user experience measurement, the user experience measurement can be processed and protected, and the user experience measurement based on the signaling can be prevented from being covered, thereby improving the quality of wireless communication and ensuring user experience.

[0031] In some application embodiments, the first signaling includes at least type indication information, and the type indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0032] Enumerating user experience types, wherein the enumerated user experience types include at least one of signaling-based user experience measurement and management-based user experience measurement;

[0033] User experience type indicator bit;

[0034] Signaling presence indication flag.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, the first signaling indicating the user experience measurement may carry type indication information, which may indicate the type of the user experience measurement. For example, the type indication information may indicate signaling-based user experience measurement and / or management-based user experience measurement, etc. Specifically, the type indication information may specifically indicate the type by enumeration, indicator bit or presence indication; when the type indication information adopts enumeration, the type indication information may specifically enumerate user experience types, and the enumerated user experience types at least enumerate one or more of signaling-based user experience measurement and management-based user experience measurement; when the type indication information adopts indicator bit, the type indication information may indicate different user experience measurement types by specifying different setting methods of the indicator bit, for example, the type indication information may adopt a 1-bit user experience type indicator bit indication, when the user experience type indicator bit is 0, it indicates that the type of user experience measurement is a management-based user experience type, and when the user experience type indicator bit is 1, it indicates that the type of user experience measurement is a signaling-based user experience type; the type indication information may also be indicated by an identification bit of whether there is a signaling-based user experience measurement, and the type indication information may be a signaling presence indication identifier, and if the signaling presence indication identifier is 0, the type of user experience measurement is a management-based user experience measurement, and if the signaling presence indication identifier is 1, the type of user experience measurement is a signaling-based user experience measurement.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, since signaling-based user experience measurement is different from management-based user experience measurement, it is necessary to prevent signaling-based user experience measurement from being overwritten by management-based user experience measurement. Signaling-based user experience measurement can be protected by indicating the user experience measurement type. The type indication information of the current QoE can be included in the sent QoE configuration information. The above method can be applied by the terminal in the following terminal states, such as idle state, inactive state, connected state, etc., wherein the type indication information indicates at least one of the following:

[0037] 1. Enumerate the QoE type, i.e. signaling-based or management-based;

[0038] 2. Use 1 bit to indicate, i.e., for example, 0 for management and 1 for signaling, or vice versa;

[0039] 3. Based on the presence indication, that is, when it is set to exist, it indicates that the QoE type is based on signaling, otherwise it is not.

[0040] Further, referring to Figure 2, the core network notifies the base station of the type of the current QoE measurement through the type indication information included in the QMC configuration information; the base station notifies the terminal of the type of the current QoE measurement through the type indication information included in the QoE configuration information; referring to Figure 3, the source base station notifies the target base station of the type of the current QoE measurement through the switching request including the type indication information.

[0041] In some application embodiments, the measurement report includes information indicating the type of user experience measurement.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, the generated measurement report may include type indication information of the user experience measurement. The type indication information corresponding to the measurement report can be used to prevent overlap between measurement reports of different types of user experience measurements, thereby ensuring the protection of signaling-based user experience measurement.

[0043] Based on the above application embodiment, the type indication information included in the measurement report includes at least one of the following:

[0044] For each measurement configuration, the application layer identifies the configuration type indication information;

[0045] The type indication bits are configured in the order of the numbers of the application layer identifiers of each measurement configuration.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the type indication information carried in the measurement report may be type indication information configured for each measurement configuration application layer identifier, or the type indication information carried in the measurement report may be a type indication bit, and there are multiple type indication bits in the measurement report, each corresponding to a measurement configuration application layer identifier, and the order of the type indication bits may be consistent with the numbering order of the measurement configuration application layer identifier.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, the signaling-based user experience measurement may be protected from being overwritten by the management-based user experience measurement by carrying type indication information in the measurement report. The measurement report may carry type indication information of the current user experience measurement. The above-mentioned manner may be implemented by the terminal in one of the following terminal states: sending via uplink small data packet transmission (Small Data Packet Transmission, SDT) in a non-connected state, sending via a measurement report application layer message in a connected state, etc., wherein the type indication information carried by the QoE measurement report includes at least one of the following:

[0048] 1. For each measurement configuration application layer ID (measConfigAppLayerId), configure a QoE type indication information. The QoE configuration type indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0049] a) Enumerate the QoE types, i.e. signaling-based or management-based;

[0050] b) indicated by 1 bit, i.e., for example, 0 for management and 1 for signaling, or vice versa;

[0051] c) Based on the presence indication, that is, when it is set to exist, it indicates that the QoE type is based on signaling, otherwise it is not.

[0052] 2. A 16-bit indication information is set corresponding to the sequence number of the measurement configuration application layer ID, where each bit corresponds to an information indication of whether the QoE configuration is based on signaling.

[0053] The terminal stores at least one of the following when configured by the base station: a measurement report application layer ID and an indication of the QoE configuration based on signaling. In addition, when transmitting via uplink SDT in a non-connected state, the capability to support Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) 4 needs to be defined in the SDT.

[0054] In some application embodiments, the information measurement method provided in the embodiments of the present application further includes: storing a measurement configuration application layer identifier and type indication information of the user experience measurement configuration.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, an application layer identifier of the configuration and type indication information of the user experience measurement configuration may also be measured.

[0056] FIG4 is a flow chart of another information measurement method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is a specific embodiment based on the above-mentioned embodiment. Referring to FIG4 , the method provided in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0057] Step 210: Perform user experience measurement according to the acquired first signaling.

[0058] Step 220: Store the measurement report according to a preset report priority, wherein the priority of the management-based measurement report within the preset report priority is lower than the priority of the signaling-based measurement report.

[0059] Among them, the preset report priority can be the priority for processing different types of measurement reports. A high-priority measurement report can be processed before a low-priority measurement report. The priority of a management-based measurement report within the preset report priority is lower than the priority of a signaling-based measurement report. That is, when two types of measurement reports are obtained, the signaling-based measurement report is processed before the management-based measurement report.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, a measurement report of user experience measurement may be determined, and the measurement report may be stored and processed according to a preset report priority, wherein a signaling-based measurement report among the determined measurement reports may be stored before a management-based measurement report.

[0061] In some application embodiments, storing the measurement report according to a preset report priority includes:

[0062] A target measurement report having a preset report priority lower than that of the measurement report is determined in the preset storage area; a stored measurement report having the longest storage time in the target measurement report is determined, and the stored measurement report is replaced with the measurement report.

[0063] The target measurement report may be another type of measurement report having a lower priority than the measurement report within a preset report priority. The target measurement report may be stored in a preset storage area, which may be a preconfigured storage space for storing measurement reports. The stored measurement report may be the measurement report with the longest storage time within the target measurement report.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the priority of the measurement report currently generated based on the first signaling can be determined within the preset report priority, and one or more target measurement reports with a lower priority than the priority can be searched in the preset storage area, and the longest-stored stored measurement report can be determined in the target measurement report, and the stored measurement report can be replaced with the measurement report in the preset storage area.

[0065] In some other application embodiments, storing the measurement report according to a preset report priority includes:

[0066] Determine each stored measurement report in a preset storage area, wherein each stored measurement report includes a replaceable storage specification, and the replaceable storage specification is indicated based on the storage specification indication information of the user experience measurement configuration; select a target stored report in each stored measurement report according to a preset selection rule, and replace the target stored measurement report according to the measurement report until the replacement storage of the target stored measurement report is greater than or equal to the replaceable storage specification of the target stored measurement report.

[0067] The stored measurement report may be a measurement report already stored in a preset storage area, the stored measurement report may be a measurement report of the same type or a different type as the measurement report currently to be stored, the replaceable storage specification may be a storage size that can be replaced within each measurement report, and the replaceable storage specification may be indicated by the storage specification indication information of the user experience measurement location corresponding to each measurement report. It can be understood that the storage specification indication information may indicate the size of the replaceable storage specification. The preset selection rule may be a rule for selecting a target stored report for replacement, and the preset selection rule is determined at least based on a preset report priority.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, all stored measurement reports can be obtained within a preset storage area, each stored measurement report includes at least its own replaceable storage specification, the replaceable storage specification of each stored measurement report is indicated by the storage specification indication information of the corresponding user experience measurement configuration, and the target stored measurement report can be selected from the stored measurement reports according to a preset selection rule, and the generated measurement report replaces the target stored measurement report until the replacement storage in the target stored measurement report is greater than or equal to the replaceable storage specification of the target stored measurement report.

[0069] Based on the above application embodiment, the preset selection rule includes at least one of the following:

[0070] selecting the target stored measurement report in the order of first the management-based measurement report and then the signaling-based measurement report;

[0071] The target stored measurement reports are selected in the order of first storing the measurement reports with a longer storage time and then storing the measurement reports with a shorter storage time.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, a preset rule for selecting a target stored measurement report within a stored measurement report may include selecting a target stored report within the stored measurement report in the order of first a management-based measurement report and then a signaling-based measurement report, that is, when there is a management-based measurement report within the stored measurement report, first selecting the management-based measurement report as the target stored report; the preset rule may also include first selecting a measurement report with a long storage time and then a measurement report with a short storage time, that is, first selecting the measurement report with the longest storage time among all stored measurement reports as the target stored measurement report. It will be understood that in some exemplary embodiments, all management-based measurement reports may be first selected in the order of first a management-based measurement report and then a signaling-based measurement report, and then the measurement report with the longest storage time among all management-based measurement reports may be selected as the target stored measurement report.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the protection of signaling-based user experience measurement can be implemented based on the storage of measurement reports. This can be achieved by configuring a higher storage priority for the measurement report of the signaling-based user experience measurement, that is, the storage priority of the management-based measurement report is lower than the storage priority of the signaling-based measurement report by default. This storage priority can assist the terminal device in selectively replacing the measurement report when the memory is full. The process of replacing the measurement report includes at least one of the following:

[0074] 1. Prioritize replacing management-based QoE measurement reports before replacing signaling-based QoE measurement reports. Among these measurement reports, the oldest stored report is replaced first. For example, when the report storage is full, the UE prioritizes replacing management-based QoE measurement reports, and replaces the oldest of these measurement reports. After replacing management-based QoE measurement reports, the UE considers replacing signaling-based QoE measurement reports.

[0075] 2. The base station assigns a replaceable storage size to each QoE. Specifically, the QoE configuration information includes a storage size indication for storing measurement reports, such as 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k, or 32k. Furthermore, management-based QoE measurement reports are replaced first, starting with the oldest report. Once the replacement reaches the allowable replacement size, measurement reports for this QoE configuration are no longer replaced, and reports for other QoE configurations are replaced instead. Signaling-based QoE measurement reports are then replaced, with the oldest reports being replaced first until the allowable replacement size is reached.

[0076] In some application embodiments, processing the measurement report of the user experience measurement includes at least one of the following:

[0077] When accessing a new node, not sending the availability indication of the measurement report to the new node, and when re-accessing the original requesting node that initiated the user experience measurement, sending the availability indication of the measurement report to the original requesting node;

[0078] When accessing a new node, sending an availability indication of the measurement report to the new node;

[0079] When a new node is accessed, the stored user experience measurement configuration information and the measurement report are released;

[0080] When the original requesting node that initiated the user experience measurement is disconnected, the stored user experience measurement configuration information and the measurement report are released.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, the measurement report of the user experience measurement can perform different processing at different times. The processing of the measurement report of the user experience measurement may include but is not limited to: when accessing a new node, not sending an availability indication of the measurement report to the new node, and transmitting the availability indication of the measurement report to the original requesting node when re-accessing the original requesting node that initiated the user experience measurement; when accessing a new node, sending the availability indication of the measurement report to the new node; releasing the stored user experience measurement configuration information and measurement report when accessing the new node; when connecting to the original requesting node that initiated the user experience measurement, the stored user experience measurement configuration information and measurement report can be released.

[0082] In some application embodiments, the availability indication of the measurement report is included in at least one of the following: terminal device assistance information, uplink information transmission, and terminal device information response.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, in order to prevent the terminal from reporting the RVQoE stored for the source base station to the new base station in a handover scenario and implement reporting of user experience measurements, at least one of the following processes may be performed on the RVQoE measurement report of the source base station:

[0084] 1. After the terminal accesses a new base station, the terminal does not send an availability indication of the RVQoE measurement report to the new base station; at the same time, the terminal stores the relevant measurement report and sends an availability indication of the RVQoE measurement report through the terminal when the terminal re-accesses the base station that initiated the RVQoE measurement.

[0085] 2. After the terminal accesses the new base station, the terminal sends an availability indication of the RVQoE measurement report to the new base station;

[0086] 3. When the terminal accesses a new base station, the terminal releases the stored RVQoE configuration information and measurement report;

[0087] 4. When the terminal leaves the source base station, the terminal releases the stored RVQoE configuration information and measurement report;

[0088] The availability indication of the RVQoE measurement report is included in at least one of the following: UE assistance information, uplink information transmission, and UE information response.

[0089] FIG5 is a flow chart of another information measurement method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is a specific embodiment based on the above-mentioned embodiment. Referring to FIG5 , the method provided in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0090] Step 310: Perform user experience measurement according to the acquired first signaling.

[0091] Step 320: Transparently transmit the measurement report to the second node via the first node or to the first node via the second node according to the dual-connection network uplink message transmission; wherein the user experience measurement configuration of the measurement report includes at least target node indication information.

[0092] The first node and the second node may be a master node (MN) and a secondary node (SN) in dual-link communication. The target node indication information may be indication information indicating a node for configuring user experience measurement. The target node indication information may be indication information of an enumeration type, indication information of an indication bit type, indication information of an existence indication type, etc.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, a measurement report generated in a dual-link scenario can be transparently transmitted from the first node to the second node, or from the second node to the first node, wherein the measurement report carries at least target node indication information, and the target node indication information can indicate the node for configuring user experience measurement.

[0094] In some application embodiments, the target node indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0095] Enumerating node type information, wherein the enumerated node type information includes at least one of a first node and a second node;

[0096] Node type indicator bit;

[0097] A first node presence indication.

[0098] Specifically, the target node indication information can be used as enumeration, and the enumerated node type information includes at least the enumerated first node and the enumerated second node. Alternatively, the target node indication information can be implemented through an indicator bit, and the first node or the second node can be indicated by setting the indicator bit in different ways. Alternatively, the target node indication information can be an indication of the existence of the first node. When the existence indication in the first section is 1, it indicates the first node. When the first storage node is not 1, it indicates that it is not the first node.

[0099] In an exemplary embodiment, in a dual-link scenario, since both MN and SN can receive RVQoE measurement reports, and SRB5 is used for SN to transmit RVQoE measurement reports. Further considering that the base station that generates the measurement configuration hopes to receive the RVQoE measurement report, and when only SRB4 is configured, the measurement report needs to be transparently transmitted from MN to SN via dual-connection network uplink message transmission (Uplink information transfer Multi-Radio Dual Connectivity, ULInformationTransferMRDC). Alternatively, when SRB5 is configured, the measurement report needs to be transparently transmitted from SN to MN via ULInformation TransferMRDC. In other words, ULInformationTransferMRDC needs to support signaling radio bearers SRB4 and / or SRB5 for transmitting RVQoE measurement reports. In order for the terminal to identify the configuration node of the current RVQoE configuration information, an indication information of the configuration information is introduced in the RVQoE configuration information, and the indication information of the RVQoE configuration includes at least one of the following:

[0100] a) Enumerate the QoE type, i.e. MN or SN;

[0101] b) indicated by 1 bit, i.e., for example, 0 represents MN, 1 represents SN, or vice versa;

[0102] c) Based on the presence indication, that is, when it is set to exist, it indicates that it is a SN, otherwise it is not.

[0103] FIG6 is a flow chart of another information measurement method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is a specific embodiment based on the above-mentioned embodiment. Referring to FIG6 , the method provided in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0104] Step 410: Perform user experience measurement according to the acquired first signaling.

[0105] Step 420: Determine that the area range does not include the group broadcast service session indication, and the measurement report is included in the group broadcast service session indication.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, if the area range does not include the group broadcast service session indication, the measurement report may be carried by the group broadcast service session indication.

[0107] Step 430: Determine whether the area range includes the group broadcast service session indication, and change the checking behavior of the area range to always check.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, if the group broadcast service session indication is included in the area range, the checking behavior of the area range is adjusted to always check.

[0109] In an exemplary implementation, the user equipment currently only checks the area scope at initiation, and the user equipment will continue the QoE session unless released by the base station. Furthermore, in order to introduce a group broadcast service session indication when it is included in the area scope, in order to avoid the user equipment stopping the group broadcast service task and starting a new task without re-executing the AreaScope, the following solution can be used:

[0110] Solution 1: The group broadcast service session indication is not included in the area scope, and the QoE and RVQoE reports are included in the group broadcast service session indication.

[0111] Scenario 2: Change AreaScope check behavior to always check when a Group Broadcast Service Session indication is included in the area scope.

[0112] FIG7 is a flowchart of another information measurement method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is a specific embodiment based on the above-mentioned embodiment. Referring to FIG7 , the method provided in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0113] Step 510: Perform user experience measurement according to the acquired first signaling.

[0114] Step 520: Select a target measurement report in the measurement report based on the auxiliary measurement reporting information, wherein the auxiliary measurement reporting information includes at least one of the following: a single-group broadcast service session indication; a multi-group broadcast service session indication; a single-group broadcast service session identifier list; a single-slice information indication; a multi-slice information indication; a single-slice information list.

[0115] The assisted measurement reporting information may be information reported by the assisted measurement report, the target measurement report may be a measurement report to be reported, and the target measurement report may be part or all of the measurement report.

[0116] In an embodiment of the present application, one or more target measurement reports can be selected in the measurement report according to the auxiliary measurement reporting information, and the auxiliary measurement reporting information may include at least one of a single-group broadcast service session indication; a multi-group broadcast service session indication; a single-group broadcast service session identifier list; a single slice information indication; a multi-slice information indication; and a single slice information list.

[0117] Based on the above-mentioned application embodiment, the auxiliary measurement reporting information includes at least one of the following: user experience configuration information; downlink information transmission; wireless resource control reconstruction message; wireless resource control configuration message; wireless resource control recovery message; wireless resource control rejection message; wireless resource control establishment message.

[0118] In an embodiment of the present application, the auxiliary measurement reporting information can be transmitted through at least one of user experience configuration information; downlink information transmission; wireless resource control reconstruction message; wireless resource control configuration message; wireless resource control recovery message; wireless resource control rejection message; and wireless resource control establishment message.

[0119] In some application embodiments, selecting a target measurement report in the measurement report based on the auxiliary measurement reporting information includes:

[0120] When obtaining the measurement report, check whether the group broadcast service session indication or slice information is consistent with the auxiliary measurement reporting information; if it is determined to be consistent, report the measurement report as the target measurement report.

[0121] In an embodiment of the present application, when a measurement report is obtained, the auxiliary measurement reporting information can be compared with the group broadcast service session indication or slice information corresponding to the measurement report. If the group broadcast service session indication or slice information corresponding to the measurement report is the same as the auxiliary measurement reporting information, the measurement report is recorded as a target measurement report and the target measurement report can be reported. Otherwise, the measurement report is not reported.

[0122] In an exemplary embodiment, when the user equipment is in an idle state and an inactive state, since the measurement report of the user experience measurement needs to be stored in the access layer of the user equipment, but the corresponding higher layer is only interested in the user experience measurement of one or some ongoing group broadcast service sessions or slices, in order to improve the transmission efficiency of the measurement report, the measurement report can be selected based on the group broadcast service session indication or the slice information indication, that is, the auxiliary measurement reporting information includes at least one group broadcast service session indication, multiple group broadcast service session indications, a list of group broadcast service session identifiers, a slice information indication, multiple slice information indications, and a list of slice information. The above-mentioned auxiliary measurement reporting information is included in at least one of the following: QoE configuration information, downlink information transfer (DLInformationTransfer), radio resource control reestablishment message (RRCReestablishment), radio resource control configuration message (RRCReconfiguration), radio resource control resume message (RRCResume), radio resource control reject message (RRCReject), and radio resource control setup message (RRCSetup).

[0123] In addition, the above-mentioned auxiliary measurement reporting information is selected by the application layer of the user equipment for the measurement report, that is, when obtaining the report from the application layer of the user equipment, the group broadcast service session indication information or slice information is first checked, and only when the group broadcast service session indication information or slice information is consistent with the indication of the auxiliary information, the user equipment will store the corresponding results in the access layer and report them in a timely manner.

[0124] In some exemplary embodiments, QoE and RVQoE measurement reports are uploaded based on cache level triggering. Specifically, this is because the access layer can only make judgments on the measurement data after receiving the measurement report from the application layer.
