The present application relates to the field of communication, and in particular, to methods and apparatuses for reporting quality of experience (QoE) measurement reports, devices and a storage medium.
In a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) and an evolved UMTS terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN), quality of experience (QoE) measurement collection is specified for streaming services. For new radio (NR) QoE measurements, not only the experience parameters of streaming media services need to be collected, typical performance requirements of different services (such as augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) and ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC)) are also considered.
The NR QoE measurements aim to collect experience parameters of different service types. When a core network (CN) or an operation, management and maintenance (OAM) transmits QoE configuration to a network side device, the network side device will forward the QoE configuration to a user equipment (UE), the UE collects relevant QoE measurements and reports QoE measurement reports to the network side device, and the network side device forwards the QoE measurement reports to the core network or OAM. The QoE measurement reports are generally very large. In case that burdens of the network side device are heavy, or the UE is handed over or reconnected to a network side device that does not support the QoE function, the network side device needs to control the reporting for the QoE measurement reports from the UE, to reduce burdens or ensure validities of the QoE measurement reports. When the burdens are alleviated, the network side device resumes reporting for the QoE measurement reports from the UE. A large number of UEs will report a large number of QoE measurement reports, which may easily cause a new round of network side congestion.

In order to illustrate the solutions of the embodiments based on the present application, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments are briefly introduced below. It should be noted that the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present application.
In the embodiments of the present application, the term “and/or” describes a related relationship of associated objects, and indicates that there can be three kinds of relationships. For example, A and/or B can represent that A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Character “/” generally indicates that the associated objects have an “or” relationship.
In the embodiments of the present application, the term “multiple” refers to two or more, and other quantifiers are similar.
The solutions in the embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. These embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments.
The 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) specification defines two quality of experience (QoE) configuration types, one type is signaling-based case, that is, a signaling-based QoE configuration type, and the process includes that an operation, management and maintenance (OAM) transmits QoE configuration to a core network (CN), the CN transmits the QoE configuration to a network side device, and the network side device forwards the QoE configuration to a user equipment (UE). The configuration in this case is for a specific UE. The other type is a management-based case, that is, a management-based QoE configuration type, the process includes that that the OAM directly transmits the QoE configuration to the network side device, and the network side device forwards the configuration to the UE. The configuration in this case is for a specific UE or multiple UEs.
The QoE measurement management parameters are specified in the R16 protocol version, and are shown in the following.
a. QoE Collection Entity Address
This is a parameter which defines an internet protocol (IP) address to which the QoE measurement collection (QMC) records shall be transferred. internet protocol version 4 (Ipv4) or internet protocol version 6 (Ipv6) addresses may be used.
b. QoE Reference
This parameter defines a network request session. The QoE reference shall be globally unique, and it is composed as follows:
mobile country code (MCC)+mobile network code (MNC)+QMC identifier (ID), where the MCC and the MNC, together with a trace activation request, come from a management system, and are used for identifying a public land mobile network (PLMN) included in the management system, and the QMC ID is a 3-byte string.
c. PLMN Target
This parameter defines the PLMN for which sessions shall be selected in the network request session in case of area based QMC when several PLMNs are supported in a radio access network (RAN). (This means that shared cells and unshared cells are allowed for the specified PLMN. Furthermore, several PLMNs can be used for unshared RAN cases as well as for shared RAN cases.) Only the sessions may be selected in case that the PLMN that the UE reports as selected PLMN is the same as the PLMN target. The PLMN target may differ from the PLMN specified in the network request session ID, as that specifies the PLMN containing the management system requesting the network request session from a network equipment (NE). The parameter is mandatory if network sharing is deployed.
d. Area Scope
This parameter defines a physical area or cells or tracking area or location area where the QoE measurements shall be performed. If the parameter does not exist, the QMC shall be performed throughout the PLMN specified in PLMN target.
e. QMC Configuration File
f. QMC Target
g. Recording Session ID
This parameter shall be the same for the whole session in an application layer, while for each different session in the application layer, the recording session ID shall be different.
After the core network or OAM transmits the QoE configuration to the network side device, the network side device will forward the QoE configuration to the UE, and the UE collects relevant QoE measurements and reports them to the network side device. Since the QoE measurement report are generally very large, and in case that burdens of the network side device are heavy, or the UE is handed over or reconnected to a network side device that does not support the QoE function, the network side device needs to control the reporting for the QoE measurement report from the UE to alleviate burdens or to ensure the validity of the QoE measurement reports. When the burdens are alleviated, the network side device resumes reporting for the QoE measurement report from the UE. A large number of UEs will report a large number of QoE measurement reports, which may easily cause a new round of network side congestion.
In response to the above problems, various embodiments of the present application provide a solution that can avoid a new round of congestion caused by the network side device resuming the reporting for the QoE measurement reports.
Step 100: receiving first indication information of one or more QoE measurement reports transmitted from a network side device.
The first indication information is used to indicate the user terminal to report a QoE measurement report and/or information associated with the QoE measurement report.
Step 101: reporting a QoE measurement report and/or information associated with the QoE measurement report to the network side device based on the first indication information.
When the network side device resumes reporting for the QoE measurement report from the user terminal, in order to avoid a new round of network side congestion caused by a large number of user terminals reporting a large number of QoE measurement reports, in the embodiment of the present application, the network side device (for example, a next generation NodeB (gNB) of a base station) can transmit the first indication information to the user terminal. After receiving the first indication information, the user terminal can report the QoE measurement report and/or the information associated with the QoE measurement report based on an indication in the first indication information. Details about how the user terminal reports the QoE measurement report and/or the information associated with the QoE measurement report based on the indications in the first indication information, and specific content of the information associated with the QoE measurement report will be described below:
In an embodiment, the above-mentioned first indication information may be included in various dedicated signaling or broadcast messages, and is not specifically limited here.

The network side device may transmit the first indication information to the user terminal, where the first indication information includes the configuration type corresponding to the reported QoE measurement report, that is, the network side device indicates to resume reporting for the QoE measurement report corresponding to which configuration type. For example, the network side device may indicate to resume the QoE measurement report corresponding to a signaling-based QoE configuration type, or the network side device may indicate to resume the QoE measurement report corresponding to a management-based QoE configuration type.

For example, if the timer is set to 30 milliseconds and the timing backoff time is set to 10 milliseconds, the user terminal is indicated to wait 10 milliseconds after the 30 millisecond timer expires to report the QoE measurement report. After receiving the first indication information, the user terminal can determine the duration after which to report the QoE measurement report based on the timing backoff time in the first indication information. The timer may be pre-configured from the network side device to the user terminal, or may be transmitted from the network side device to the user terminal by dedicated signaling or broadcast messages.

In the method for reporting QoE measurement reports provided by the embodiments of the present application, the user terminal can report the QoE measurement report and/or the information associated with the QoE measurement report based on the second indication information or the third indication information transmitted from the network side device, to avoid a new round of network side congestion caused by a large number of user terminals reporting a large number of QoE measurement reports when the network side device resumes reporting for the QoE measurement reports from the user terminal.
In an embodiment, the first indication information is time indication information used to indicate the user terminal to report the QoE measurement report. Furthermore, the user terminal can report the QoE measurement report and the information associated with the QoE measurement report based on the time indication information.
In an embodiment of the present application, the network side device can indicate different time indication information to different user terminals by the first indication information, which means that different user terminals report the QoE measurement report at different times.
In an embodiment, the reporting time corresponding to each user terminal for QoE measurement report can be determined based on a terminal ID of the user terminal. For example, a formula can be defined: reporting time=f (UE ID). After calculating reporting time corresponding to each user terminal through the above formula of the reporting time, the network side device transmits the reporting time corresponding to each user terminal to each user terminal by dedicated signaling or broadcast message. After receiving the reporting time, the user terminal reports the QoE measurement report based on the reporting time. In an embodiment, the network side device can also transmit the above-mentioned formula of reporting time to the user terminal by dedicated signaling or broadcast messages. After receiving the reporting time formula, the user terminal can obtain the reporting time corresponding to the user terminal based on the terminal ID and the reporting time formula, and the QoE measurement report is reported based on the reporting time.

The above method is illustrated below through specific embodiments.
Step 1: OAM or CN transmits a QoE configuration to a network side device, and the network side device forwards the QoE configuration to a user terminal.
Step 2: after receiving the QoE configuration, the user terminal starts to perform QoE measurements, and reports a QoE measurement report.
Step 3: when the burdens of the network side device are heavy or the user terminal is connected to a network side device that does not support QoE services, the network side device determines to pause reporting for the QoE measurement report from the user terminal, and transmits a command for pausing reporting for the QoE measurement report.
Step 4: after receiving the command for pausing reporting for the QoE measurement report, the user terminal configures to pause reporting for the QoE measurement report based on a pause command.
Step 5: after the burdens of the network side device is alleviated, reporting for the QoE measurement report from the user terminal can be received. Considering that multiple user terminals report and the QoE measurement report is large, the user terminal can be notified in a resume command about how long it will be before reporting the QoE measurement report. In one embodiment, the user terminal can be notified as the following: 1) a size of a QoE measurement report that can be reported, which can be a total size of the QoE measurement reports, or a size of QoE measurement reports corresponding to each service type or a size of QoE measurement reports corresponding to each QoE measurement ID, or a size of QoE measurement reports corresponding to each configuration type; 2) a specified service type or a priority of the service type, which specifies to resume reporting for the QoE measurement report corresponding to which service type, or resume reporting for the QoE measurement report corresponding to which priority of the service type; 3) a specified QoE measurement ID or a priority of the QoE measurement ID, which specifies to resume reporting for the QoE measurement report corresponding to which QoE measurement ID, or resume reporting for the QoE measurement report corresponding to which priority of the QoE measurement ID: 4) a specified QoE configuration type, which specifies to resume reporting for the QoE measurement report corresponding to a signaling-based QoE configuration type or a management-based QoE configuration type; 5) timing backoff time for reporting the QoE measurement report, which indicates how long the backoff time is before reporting the QoE measurement report after the timer expires.
Step 6: after receiving the resume command, the user terminal reports the QoE measurement report based on the configuration of the resume command.
Step 1: OAM or CN transmits a QoE configuration to a network side device, and the network side device forwards the QoE configuration to a user terminal and configures a service type.
Step 2: after receiving the QoE configuration, the user terminal starts to perform QoE measurements, and reports a QoE measurement report.
Step 3: when the burdens of the network side device are heavy or the user terminal is connected to a network side device that does not support QoE services, the network side device determines to pause reporting for the QoE measurement report from the user terminal, and transmits a command for pausing reporting for the QoE measurement report.
Step 4: After receiving the command for pausing reporting for the QoE measurement report, the user terminal configures to pause reporting for the QoE measurement report based on a pause command.
Step 5: after the burdens of the network side device is alleviated, reporting for the QoE measurement report from the user terminal can be received. Considering that multiple user terminals report and the QoE measurement report is large, the user terminal can be indicated to report the QoE measurement report in a resume command.
In one embodiment, the user terminal can be notified to report the following relevant information in the resume command: 1) a size of a stored QoE measurement report; 2) storage time of the stored QoE measurement report; 3) a service type corresponding to the stored QoE measurement report and/or a QoE measurement ID of the stored QoE measurement report; 4) a configuration type corresponding to the stored QoE measurement report; 5) a size of a QoE measurement report corresponding to 3) or 4).
Step 6: the user terminal reports the information requested by the network side device in step 5 in dedicated signaling.
Step 7: after receiving the information reported from the user terminal, the network side device determines whether new congestion will be caused based on the reported information such as the size of the QoE measurement report or the storage time of the stored QoE measurement report.
Step 8: if the network side device determines that congestion will not be caused, the user terminal is notified to report the QoE measurement report in dedicated signaling.
Step 9. if the network side device determines that congestion will be caused, the user terminal is notified in the dedicated signaling about how long it will be before reporting the QoE measurement report.

Step 8: if the network side device determines that congestion will not be caused, the user terminal is notified to report the QoE measurement report in dedicated signaling.
Step 9: If the network side device determines that congestion will be caused, it is assumed that there are QoE measurement reports 1, 2, and 3 currently. Referring to an immediate service type QoE measurement report 1, such as VR, or QoE measurement report 2 that has long storage time, in order to ensure validities of such service reports, priority will be given to the reporting for these QoE measurement reports.
