UE QoE Reporting Reconfiguration for Power and Channel Savings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication networks lack efficient mechanisms for User Equipment (UE) to autonomously manage Quality of Experience (QoE) measurements, leading to suboptimal power consumption and resource usage based on UE status and previous measurement results.
Innovation Solution
UEs are empowered to autonomously evaluate their status and previous QoE measurement results, triggering reconfiguration of QoE reporting through requests or notifications to the base station, allowing them to pause, resume, or change reporting based on their evaluation, thereby optimizing performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If UE continuously performs QoE measurements and reporting, then network can monitor service quality, but UE power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic QoE measurement reconfiguration where the UE autonomously adjusts measurement and reporting parameters based on real-time evaluation of service quality and UE status. The UE can pause, resume, or modify reporting configurations dynamically, transforming the static continuous monitoring approach into a flexible adaptive system that balances monitoring reliability with power consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The UE is empowered to autonomously evaluate its own status and measurement results, making decisions about when to report and when to pause without continuous network control. This self-service mechanism allows the UE to intelligently manage its own power consumption while maintaining necessary service quality monitoring, eliminating the need for rigid network-managed continuous reporting.
2Productivity
If UE reports QoE measurements frequently, then network resource management improves, but channel resource occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of requiring continuous full reporting, the patent enables selective partial reporting where the UE transmits QoE measurements only when necessary based on its evaluation of service quality degradation or status changes. This partial action approach maintains adequate network resource management information while significantly reducing unnecessary channel resource occupation.
Solution Approach 2:
The UE continuously monitors service quality and uses this feedback to determine when reporting is necessary. The autonomous evaluation mechanism creates a closed-loop system where measurement results feed back into the decision-making process, allowing the UE to report only when service quality thresholds are breached or significant changes occur, optimizing the balance between network management and resource usage.

AI summary
Techniques, described herein, include solutions for reconfiguration of Quality of Experience (QoE) reporting triggered by a user equipment (UE). In one aspect, a UE reporting evaluation is performed to evaluate QoE reporting based on UE status or previous QoE measurement result. The UE then transmits a QoE reconfiguration request or notification to a Base Station (BS) indicating QoE measurement reconfiguration preference or decision based on the UE reporting evaluation. Upon receiving a granting response or confirmation from the BS, the UE may pause, resume, suspend, or change QoE reporting accordingly.
