Description

使用者設備以及與報告管理相關的方法User equipment and methods related to report management

本發明是有關於一種通信技術領域,且特別是有關於一種使用者設備以及與報告管理相關的方法。The present invention relates to a communication technology field, and in particular to a user equipment and a method related to report management.

在新無線電(new radio,NR)體驗品質(quality of experience,QoE)中,支援公開層測量收集功能。此功能使得能夠從使用者設備(user equipment,UE)收集公開層測量。可從操作、管理及維護(operation, administration, and maintenance,OAM)實體或核心網路(network,CN)實體接收公開層測量配置,且將基於測量配置對UE的公開層實行QoE測量。In the new radio (NR) quality of experience (QoE), the public layer measurement collection function is supported. This functionality enables the collection of public layer measurements from user equipment (UE). The public layer measurement configuration may be received from an operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM) entity or a core network (network, CN) entity, and QoE measurements will be performed on the public layer of the UE based on the measurement configuration.

應注意,無線電存取網(radio access network,RAN)可能會面臨超載。RAN超載可持續若干小時(例如半天)。在RAN超載的情形中,RAN可停止新的QoE測量配置,釋放現有的QoE測量配置且暫停QoE測量報告。然而,暫停操作可能會影響所有的QoE測量配置,且具有高優先權的一些QoE報告也將被暫停。具有高優先權的QoE報告可明確特定的性能。在不從UE接收具有高優先權的QoE報告的情況下,網路部署或優化可能會失敗或者產生不良結果。It should be noted that the radio access network (RAN) may face overload. RAN overload can last for several hours (eg half a day). In case of RAN overload, the RAN may stop new QoE measurement configurations, release existing QoE measurement configurations and suspend QoE measurement reporting. However, the suspend operation may affect all QoE measurement configurations, and some QoE reports with high priority will also be suspended. QoE reports with high priority can specify specific performance. Without receiving QoE reports with high priority from UEs, network deployment or optimization may fail or produce undesirable results.

在介紹本公開的實施例之前,首先介紹一些相關技術。Before introducing the embodiments of the present disclosure, some related technologies are introduced first.

1. QoE的服務類型:1. QoE service type:

NR QoE支援應用層測量收集功能。此功能使得能夠從UE收集應用層測量。支援的服務類型包括流服務(streaming service)、IP多媒體子系統的多媒體電話服務(multimedia telephony service for IP multimedia subsystem,MTSI)服務、虛擬實境(virtual reality,VR)、多媒體廣播/多播服務(multimedia broadcast/multicast service,MBMS)及擴展實境(extended reality,XR)。然而不排除附加的服務類型。NR QoE supports the application layer measurement collection function. This functionality enables the collection of application layer measurements from the UE. Supported service types include streaming service, multimedia telephony service for IP multimedia subsystem (MTSI) service, virtual reality (VR), multimedia broadcast/multicast service ( multimedia broadcast/multicast service, MBMS) and extended reality (XR). However, additional service types are not excluded.

2. QoE測量過程:2. QoE measurement process:

圖2是根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的體驗品質(QoE)過程的信令流程圖。參照圖2,所述過程用於啟動由OAM 111配置的QoE測量。OAM 111向網路設備120發送QoE測量配置(步驟S210)。網路設備120找到滿足標準(例如,區域範圍、應用層能力、服務類型等)的多個合格的UE 130或單個特定的UE 130。網路設備120向特定的UE 130或每一合格的UE 130的無線電資源控制(radio resource control,RRC)層131發送RRC消息承載的QoE測量配置(步驟S220)。UE RRC層131將QoE測量配置轉發到UE應用(application,APP)層133。當會話開始時,UE APP層133檢查QoE測量配置的標準(例如,社區列表、服務類型等),且如果滿足標準,則開始QoE測量及報告。Figure 2 is a signaling flow diagram of a Quality of Experience (QoE) procedure according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2 , the procedure is for initiating QoE measurements configured by OAM 111 . The OAM 111 sends the QoE measurement configuration to the network device 120 (step S210 ). The network device 120 finds multiple qualified UEs 130 or a single specific UE 130 that meet the criteria (eg, area scope, application layer capability, service type, etc.). The network device 120 sends the QoE measurement configuration carried in the RRC message to the radio resource control (radio resource control, RRC) layer 131 of the specific UE 130 or each qualified UE 130 (step S220 ). The UE RRC layer 131 forwards the QoE measurement configuration to the UE application (application, APP) layer 133 . When a session starts, the UE APP layer 133 checks the criteria configured for QoE measurement (eg, community list, service type, etc.), and if the criteria are met, starts QoE measurement and reporting.

UE APP層133將QoE報告轉發到UE RRC層131(步驟S240)。UE RRC層131在NR中透過單獨的信令無線電承載(signaling radio bearer,SRB)(單獨於當前SRB)向網路設備120發送QoE報告(步驟S250),這是由於此報告的優先權低於其他SRB傳輸。然後,網路設備120將QoE報告發射到所配置的最終目的地(例如,測量收集實體(measurement collection entity,MCE)113或追蹤收集實體(trace-collection entity,TCE))(步驟S260)。The UE APP layer 133 forwards the QoE report to the UE RRC layer 131 (step S240). The UE RRC layer 131 sends a QoE report to the network device 120 through a separate signaling radio bearer (SRB) (separate from the current SRB) in NR (step S250), because the priority of this report is lower than Other SRB transmissions. Then, the network device 120 transmits the QoE report to the configured final destination (eg, measurement collection entity (MCE) 113 or trace-collection entity (TCE)) (step S260 ).

3. RAN超載:3. RAN overload:

在獨立連線性中的RAN超載的情形中,RAN可停止新的QoE測量配置,釋放現有的QoE測量配置且暫停QoE測量報告。網路設備120使用RRC信令來指示UE 130暫停或恢復QoE報告。暫停/恢復機制的潛在解決方案需要詳細的過程技術規範(例如所有QoE報告的暫停/恢復或每個QoE配置的暫停/恢復)、UE可儲存報告的時間、所儲存報告大小的限制等。In case of RAN overload in an independent connection, the RAN may stop new QoE measurement configurations, release existing QoE measurement configurations and suspend QoE measurement reporting. Network device 120 uses RRC signaling to instruct UE 130 to suspend or resume QoE reporting. Potential solutions for suspend/resume mechanisms require detailed process specifications (e.g. suspend/resume for all QoE reports or per QoE configuration), how long a UE can store reports, limits on the size of stored reports, etc.

4. UE報告的RAN可見(visible)QoE資訊:4. RAN visible QoE information reported by UE:

由於舊有的QoE度量是由OAM組裝、在容器(container)內發送且擬定由網路中的測量收集實體處理,因此RAN(例如,網路設備120)可能無法理解或使用舊有的QoE度量。如果RAN需要使用QoE概念,則可能會要求QoE資訊應由RAN可見。RAN可見QoE資訊是由UE從QoE度量提取的簡化QoE資訊,RAN可將所述簡化QoE資訊用於各種類型的優化。The RAN (e.g., network device 120) may not be able to understand or use legacy QoE metrics since they are assembled by OAM, sent within a container, and intended to be handled by measurement collection entities in the network . If the RAN needs to use the QoE concept, it may be required that the QoE information should be visible to the RAN. The RAN sees QoE information is simplified QoE information extracted by the UE from QoE metrics, which the RAN can use for various types of optimizations.

NG-RAN節點組裝RAN可見QoE配置並將其發送到UE,所述QoE配置可直接或透過CN連同從OAM發射的QoE測量配置容器一起發送。The NG-RAN node assembles and sends to the UE the RAN visible QoE configuration, which can be sent directly or via the CN together with the QoE measurement configuration container transmitted from the OAM.

UE接收並應用RAN可見QoE配置和/或QoE測量配置容器。RAN可見QoE配置可使得所報告的對應的RAN可見QoE資訊可為唯一值或者反映對RAN有用的QoE度量的值的組合(例如緩衝級別)。RAN可見報告透過AT命令的方式從UE的應用層提供到UE的RRC層。然後,UE的RRC層將RAN可見報告連同QoE報告容器(但作為單獨的IE)一起包括在MeasReportAppLayer IE中並將其發送到RAN。The UE receives and applies the RAN visible QoE configuration and/or QoE measurement configuration container. The RAN-visible QoE configuration may be such that the corresponding RAN-visible QoE information reported may be a unique value or a combination of values reflecting QoE metrics useful to the RAN (eg buffer level). The RAN visibility report is provided from the UE's application layer to the UE's RRC layer through AT commands. The UE's RRC layer then includes the RAN visible report together with the QoE report container (but as a separate IE) in the MeasReportAppLayer IE and sends it to the RAN.

本公開的一個或多個實施例提供一種與報告管理相關的方法,所述方法在QoE報告的暫停狀態期間選擇性地根據QoE測量配置和/或選擇性地根據RAN可見QoE配置來提供部分報告。One or more embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method related to reporting management that provides partial reporting during a suspended state of QoE reporting, optionally according to a QoE measurement configuration and/or selectively according to a RAN-visible QoE configuration .

圖3是根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的適用於使用者設備(UE)130的方法的流程圖。參照圖3,UE 130接收具有報告選擇資訊的暫停指示(步驟S310)。UE 130基於報告選擇資訊發送一個或多個QoE報告(步驟S330)。FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method applicable to a user equipment (UE) 130 according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 3 , the UE 130 receives a pause indication with report selection information (step S310 ). The UE 130 sends one or more QoE reports based on the report selection information (step S330).

具體來說,從網路設備120發送暫停指示。暫停指示是對使QoE測量報告暫時停止的動作的指示。暫停指示是來自網路設備120的單播或廣播。可選地,QoE測量可為由OAM配置的應用層測量。作為另外一種選擇,QoE測量可為無線電層上的測量。作為另外一種選擇,QoE測量與RAN可見QoE相關,所述RAN可見QoE包括RAN可見QoE度量(例如損壞持續時間、往返時間或抖動持續時間)及RAN可見QoE值。Specifically, a pause indication is sent from the network device 120 . The pause instruction is an instruction to temporarily suspend the QoE measurement report. The pause indication is a unicast or broadcast from the network device 120 . Optionally, the QoE measurement may be an application layer measurement configured by OAM. Alternatively, the QoE measurements may be measurements on the radio layer. Alternatively, the QoE measurements are related to RAN-visible QoE, which includes RAN-visible QoE metrics (such as impairment duration, round trip time, or jitter duration) and RAN-visible QoE values.

在一個實施例中,暫停指示與RAN超載相關。舉例來說,網路設備120檢測RAN超載,且UE 130回應於RAN超載從網路設備120接收暫停指示。在其他實施例中,暫停指示可由其他事件(例如故障或電源問題)觸發。In one embodiment, the suspension indication is related to RAN overload. For example, network device 120 detects RAN overload, and UE 130 receives a pause indication from network device 120 in response to RAN overload. In other embodiments, the pause indication may be triggered by other events, such as a fault or power issue.

另一方面,恢復是使得恢復先前暫停的QoE測量報告的動作。在一個實施例中,UE 130可從網路設備120接收恢復指示。恢復指示是對恢復動作的指示。Resume, on the other hand, is an action that causes a previously suspended QoE measurement report to be resumed. In one embodiment, UE 130 may receive a resume indication from network device 120 . A recovery instruction is an instruction to a recovery action.

舉例來說,圖4是根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的具有暫停及恢復機制的QoE過程的信令流程圖。參照圖4,由網路設備120檢測RAN超載(步驟S420)。網路設備120向UE 130發送暫停指示(步驟S430)。當UE 130接收到暫停指示時,QoE測量報告的狀態將從正常狀態NS改變成QoE報告的暫停狀態PS。此外,稍後釋放RAN超載(步驟S450)。網路設備120向UE 130發送恢復指示(步驟S460)。當UE 130接收到恢復指示時,QoE測量報告的狀態將從暫停狀態PS改變成QoE報告的正常狀態NS。For example, FIG. 4 is a signaling flow diagram of a QoE procedure with a suspend and resume mechanism according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 4 , RAN overload is detected by the network device 120 (step S420 ). The network device 120 sends a suspension indication to the UE 130 (step S430). When the UE 130 receives the suspension indication, the status of the QoE measurement report will change from the normal status NS to the QoE report suspension status PS. Also, RAN overload is released later (step S450). The network device 120 sends a recovery indication to the UE 130 (step S460). When the UE 130 receives the resume indication, the state of the QoE measurement report will change from the suspended state PS to the normal state NS of the QoE report.

應注意,暫停/恢復機制可適用於所有的QoE報告(例如RAN可見報告或正常QoE報告)、每個QoE測量配置或每個RAN可見QoE配置。It should be noted that the suspend/resume mechanism may apply to all QoE reports (eg RAN-visible reports or normal QoE reports), per QoE measurement configuration or per RAN-visible QoE configuration.

在一個實施例中,報告選擇資訊與針對一個或多個QoE測量配置避免報告暫停相關。一個或多個QoE報告(在下文中被稱為第一QoE報告)可與QoE測量配置相關聯,所述QoE測量配置與避免報告選擇資訊中指示的報告暫停相關。在暫停狀態PS期間,發送與和避免報告暫停相關的QoE測量配置相關聯的所述一個或多個第一QoE報告。In one embodiment, the reporting selection information is related to avoiding reporting suspension for one or more QoE measurement configurations. One or more QoE reports (hereinafter referred to as first QoE reports) may be associated with a QoE measurement configuration related to avoiding reporting suspension indicated in the report selection information. During the suspended state PS, said one or more first QoE reports associated with a QoE measurement configuration related to avoiding reporting suspension are sent.

在一個實施例中,基於報告選擇資訊暫停除所述一個或多個第一QoE報告之外的一個或多個第二QoE報告。第二QoE報告不與和避免報告選擇資訊中指示的報告暫停相關的QoE測量配置相關聯。此意指第一QoE報告的發送在QoE報告的暫停狀態PS期間將不會暫停(如圖4的步驟S440所示)。然而,不與由報告選擇資訊指示的QoE測量配置相關聯的第二QoE報告的發送將在QoE報告的暫停狀態PS期間暫停。In one embodiment, one or more second QoE reports in addition to said one or more first QoE reports are suspended based on the report selection information. The second QoE report is not associated with the QoE measurement configuration associated with the report suspension indicated in the avoid report selection message. This means that the sending of the first QoE report will not be suspended during the pause state PS of the QoE report (as shown in step S440 of FIG. 4 ). However, the transmission of the second QoE report not associated with the QoE measurement configuration indicated by the report selection information will be suspended during the suspended state PS of QoE reporting.

在一個實施例中,UE 130從網路設備120接收QoE測量配置的群組識別符(如圖4的步驟S410所示)。群組識別符(或稱為類別、屬性或標籤)表示不包括QoE測量配置或包括至少一個QoE測量配置的群組。作為另外一種選擇,群組識別符表示QoE測量配置或RAN可見配置中的一者。在一個實施例中,群組識別符是QoE測量配置的標識。在另一實施例中,群組識別符是RAN可見QoE配置的標識。在一個實施例中,群組識別符是服務類型和/或無線電資源控制(RRC)級別標識(identification,ID)(例如參考ID或簡稱ID)。服務類型可為例如MTSI、VR、MBMS、XR服務等。群組識別符可為數位、符號、字母或文本,且實施例並不僅限於此。In one embodiment, the UE 130 receives the group identifier of the QoE measurement configuration from the network device 120 (as shown in step S410 of FIG. 4 ). The group identifier (or referred to as category, attribute or label) indicates a group that does not include a QoE measurement configuration or includes at least one QoE measurement configuration. Alternatively, the group identifier represents one of a QoE measurement configuration or a RAN visible configuration. In one embodiment, the group identifier is an identification of the QoE measurement configuration. In another embodiment, the group identifier is an identification of the RAN visible QoE configuration. In one embodiment, the group identifier is a service type and/or a radio resource control (RRC) level identification (identification, ID) (for example, reference ID or ID for short). The service type may be, for example, MTSI, VR, MBMS, XR service, and the like. The group identifier can be numbers, symbols, letters or text, and the embodiment is not limited thereto.

在一個實施例中,QoE測量配置的群組識別符與QoE優先權相關。舉例來說,QoE測量配置的QoE優先權低於RAN可見QoE配置的QoE優先權。此外,報告選擇資訊是優先權門檻值。在圖4所示步驟S440的一個實施例中,UE 130還可將QoE測量配置的QoE優先權與優先權門檻值進行比較,且基於優先權門檻值的比較結果發送QoE測量配置。換句話說,基於QoE優先權與優先權門檻值之間的比較結果來選擇第一QoE報告。In one embodiment, the group identifier of the QoE measurement configuration is related to the QoE priority. For example, the QoE priority of the QoE measurement configuration is lower than the QoE priority of the RAN visible QoE configuration. Additionally, report selection information is a priority threshold. In an embodiment of step S440 shown in FIG. 4 , UE 130 may also compare the QoE priority of the QoE measurement configuration with the priority threshold, and send the QoE measurement configuration based on the comparison result of the priority threshold. In other words, the first QoE report is selected based on the comparison between the QoE priority and the priority threshold.

舉例來說,圖5A是示出根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的部分報告的示意圖。參照圖5A,報告選擇資訊是優先權門檻值且被設定為1。QoE測量配置QoE 1的QoE優先權為1,QoE測量配置QoE 2的QoE優先權為2,且QoE測量配置QoE 3的QoE優先權為3。假設QoE優先權的值越小,優先權越高,且QoE優先權的值越大,優先權越低。QoE測量配置QoE 2及QoE 3的QoE優先權的值大於優先權門檻值(即,比較結果),且此意指QoE測量配置QoE 2及QoE 3的QoE優先權較低。QoE測量配置QoE 1的QoE優先權的值小於優先權門檻值(即,比較結果),且此意指QoE測量配置QoE 1的QoE優先權較高。因此,回應於接收到暫停指示,暫停QoE測量配置QoE 2及QoE 3的報告(即,QoE測量配置QoE 2及QoE 3的報告是第二QoE報告),且QoE測量配置QoE 1的報告保持不變(即,QoE測量配置QoE 1的報告是第一QoE報告且將由UE RRC層131發送)。For example, FIG. 5A is a schematic diagram illustrating a partial report according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 5A , the report selection information is the priority threshold and is set to 1. Referring to FIG. The QoE priority of the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 is 1, the QoE priority of the QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 is 2, and the QoE priority of the QoE measurement configuration QoE 3 is 3. It is assumed that the smaller the value of the QoE priority, the higher the priority, and the larger the value of the QoE priority, the lower the priority. The value of the QoE priority of the QoE measurement configurations QoE 2 and QoE 3 is greater than the priority threshold (ie, the comparison result), and this means that the QoE priority of the QoE measurement configurations QoE 2 and QoE 3 is lower. The value of the QoE priority of the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 is smaller than the priority threshold (ie, the comparison result), and this means that the QoE priority of the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 is higher. Therefore, in response to receiving the suspend indication, the reporting of QoE measurement configurations QoE 2 and QoE 3 is suspended (i.e., the reporting of QoE measurement configurations QoE 2 and QoE 3 is the second QoE report), and the reporting of QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 remains unchanged. (ie, the report of QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 is the first QoE report and will be sent by UE RRC layer 131).

在一個實施例中,QoE測量配置的群組識別符與報告量相關。報告量越大QoE越多可能會導致RAN超載的概率越高。此外,報告選擇資訊是量門檻值。在圖4所示步驟S440的一個實施例中,UE 130還可將QoE報告的報告量與量門檻值進行比較,且基於量門檻值的比較結果發送QoE報告。換句話說,基於報告量與量門檻值之間的比較結果來選擇第一QoE報告。在一些實施例中,報告量與UE 130可儲存QoE報告的時間相關。In one embodiment, the group identifier of the QoE measurement configuration is associated with the reported volume. A larger report volume and more QoE may lead to a higher probability of RAN overload. Additionally, the report selection information is the volume threshold. In an embodiment of step S440 shown in FIG. 4 , UE 130 may also compare the reported quantity of the QoE report with a quantity threshold, and send the QoE report based on the comparison result of the quantity threshold. In other words, the first QoE report is selected based on the comparison between the reported volume and the volume threshold. In some embodiments, the amount of reporting is related to how long the UE 130 can store the QoE reports.

舉例來說,圖5B是示出根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的部分報告的示意圖。參照圖5B,報告選擇資訊是量門檻值且被設定為0.7。超載因數(overload factor)與報告量相關。假設值越小,報告量的超載因數越高,且值越大,報告量的超載因數越低。QoE測量配置QoE 1的超載因數為0.8,QoE測量配置QoE 2的超載因數為0.5,且QoE測量配置QoE 3的超載因數為0.2。QoE測量配置QoE 2及QoE 3的超載因數的值小於量門檻值(即,比較結果),且此意指QoE測量配置QoE 2及QoE 3的報告量較大。QoE測量配置QoE 1的超載因數的值大於量門檻值(即,比較結果),且此意指QoE測量配置QoE 1的報告量較小。因此,回應於接收到暫停指示,暫停QoE測量配置QoE 2及QoE 3的報告(即,QoE測量配置QoE 2及QoE 3的報告是第二QoE報告),且QoE測量配置QoE 1的報告保持不變(即,QoE測量配置QoE 1的報告是第一QoE報告且將由UE RRC層131發送)。For example, FIG. 5B is a schematic diagram illustrating a partial report according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 5B , the report selection information is the volume threshold and is set to 0.7. The overload factor is related to the reported volume. Assume that the smaller the value, the higher the overload factor for the reported volume, and the larger the value, the lower the overload factor for the reported volume. The QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 has an overload factor of 0.8, the QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 has an overload factor of 0.5, and the QoE measurement configuration QoE 3 has an overload factor of 0.2. The values of the overload factors of the QoE measurement configurations QoE 2 and QoE 3 are smaller than the volume threshold (ie, the comparison result), and this means that the reported volume of the QoE measurement configurations QoE 2 and QoE 3 is larger. The value of the overload factor of the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 is larger than the volume threshold (ie the comparison result), and this means that the reported volume of the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 is smaller. Therefore, in response to receiving the suspend indication, the reporting of QoE measurement configurations QoE 2 and QoE 3 is suspended (i.e., the reporting of QoE measurement configurations QoE 2 and QoE 3 is the second QoE report), and the reporting of QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 remains unchanged. (ie, the report of QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 is the first QoE report and will be sent by UE RRC layer 131).

在一個實施例中,報告選擇資訊是位元圖(bitmap)配置。位元圖配置的每一位元對應於QoE測量配置的一個群組識別符(即,每個QoE測量配置一個位元)。可選地,位元圖配置與QoE測量配置之間的關係可為有序的。作為另外一種選擇,位元圖配置與QoE測量配置之間的關係可為靈活的一對多映射。在圖4所示步驟S440的一個實施例中,UE 130還可將QoE測量配置的群組識別符與位元圖配置進行比較,且基於位元圖配置的比較結果發送QoE報告。換句話說,基於群組識別符與位元圖配置的比較結果來選擇第一QoE報告。In one embodiment, the report selection information is a bitmap configuration. Each bit of the bitmap configuration corresponds to a group identifier of the QoE measurement configuration (ie, one bit per QoE measurement configuration). Optionally, the relationship between bitmap configurations and QoE measurement configurations may be ordered. Alternatively, the relationship between the bitmap configuration and the QoE measurement configuration may be a flexible one-to-many mapping. In an embodiment of step S440 shown in FIG. 4 , the UE 130 may also compare the group identifier of the QoE measurement configuration with the bitmap configuration, and send a QoE report based on the comparison result of the bitmap configuration. In other words, the first QoE report is selected based on the comparison of the group identifier and the bitmap configuration.

舉例來說,圖6是示出根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的部分報告的示意圖。參照圖6,位元圖配置與QoE測量配置之間的關係是有序的。第一位表示QoE測量配置QoE 1,第二位元表示QoE測量配置QoE 2,且第三位元表示QoE測量配置QoE 3。如果位元圖配置為“101”,由於位元圖配置的第二位元為“0”,因此僅暫停QoE測量配置QoE 2的報告(即,QoE測量配置QoE 2的報告是第二QoE報告),且由於位元圖配置的第一位及第三位元為“1”,因此QoE測量配置QoE 1及QoE 3的報告保持不變(即,QoE測量配置QoE 1及QoE 3的報告是第一QoE報告且將由UE RRC層131發送)。For example, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a partial report according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 6, the relationship between the bitmap configuration and the QoE measurement configuration is in order. The first bit indicates the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1, the second bit indicates the QoE measurement configuration QoE 2, and the third bit indicates the QoE measurement configuration QoE 3. If the bitmap configuration is "101", only the reporting of QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 is suspended since the second bit of the bitmap configuration is "0" (i.e., the reporting of QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 is the second QoE report ), and since the first and third bits of the bitmap configuration are "1", the reporting of QoE measurement configurations QoE 1 and QoE 3 remains unchanged (that is, the reporting of QoE measurement configurations QoE 1 and QoE 3 is first QoE report and will be sent by UE RRC layer 131).

在一個實施例中,群組識別符與QoE測量配置的唯一識別碼相關。報告選擇資訊可包括唯一識別碼的列表。此意指將選擇一個或多個唯一識別碼。在圖4所示步驟S440中,UE 130還可將QoE測量配置的群組識別符與列表的唯一識別碼進行比較,且基於列表的唯一識別碼的比較結果發送QoE報告。換句話說,基於群組識別符與列表的唯一識別碼的比較結果來選擇第一QoE報告。比較結果將是唯一識別碼與QoE測量配置的群組識別符相同或者與QoE測量配置的群組識別符不同。In one embodiment, the group identifier is associated with a unique identifier of the QoE measurement configuration. Report selection information may include a list of unique identifiers. This means that one or more unique identifiers will be selected. In step S440 shown in FIG. 4 , the UE 130 may also compare the group identifier of the QoE measurement configuration with the unique identifier of the list, and send a QoE report based on the comparison result of the unique identifier of the list. In other words, the first QoE report is selected based on the comparison of the group identifier with the unique identifier of the list. The comparison result will be that the unique identifier is the same as or different from the group identifier of the QoE measurement configuration.

舉例來說,圖7是示出根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的部分報告的示意圖。參照圖7,報告選擇資訊包括QoE測量配置QoE 2的RRC級別ID。因此,回應於接收到暫停指示,暫停QoE測量配置QoE 1及QoE 3的報告(即,QoE測量配置QoE 1及QoE 3的報告是第二QoE報告),且QoE測量配置QoE 2的報告保持不變(即,QoE測量配置QoE 2的報告是第一QoE報告且將由UE RRC層131發送)。For example, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a partial report according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 7 , the report selection information includes the RRC class ID of the QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 . Therefore, in response to receiving the suspend indication, the reporting of QoE measurement configurations QoE 1 and QoE 3 is suspended (i.e., the reporting of QoE measurement configurations QoE 1 and QoE 3 is the second QoE report), and the reporting of QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 remains unchanged. (ie, the report of QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 is the first QoE report and will be sent by UE RRC layer 131).

在一個實施例中,UE 130接收恢復指示且回應於接收到恢復指示而基於恢復指示發送一個或多個第二QoE報告。恢復在暫停狀態PS期間暫停的第二QoE報告。以圖7為例,將回應於接收到恢復指示而恢復QoE測量配置QoE 1及QoE 3的報告。In one embodiment, UE 130 receives the resume indication and sends one or more second QoE reports based on the resume indication in response to receiving the resume indication. The second QoE report suspended during the suspended state PS is resumed. Taking FIG. 7 as an example, the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 and QoE 3 reports will be resumed in response to receiving the resume instruction.

圖8是根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的適用於網路設備120的方法的流程圖。參照圖8,網路設備120發送具有報告選擇資訊的暫停指示(步驟S810)。網路設備120基於報告選擇資訊接收一個或多個QoE報告(步驟S830)。FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a method applicable to the network device 120 according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 8 , the network device 120 sends a pause instruction with report selection information (step S810 ). The network device 120 receives one or more QoE reports based on the report selection information (step S830 ).

步驟S810到步驟S830的詳細說明可參照圖3到圖7且將被省略。Detailed descriptions of steps S810 to S830 may refer to FIGS. 3 to 7 and will be omitted.

在一個實施例中,網路設備120向UE 130發送QoE測量配置的群組識別符(如圖4的步驟S410所示)。群組識別符(或稱為類別、屬性或標籤)表示QoE測量配置中的一者。在一個實施例中,群組識別符是QoE測量配置的標識。在另一實施例中,群組識別符是RAN可見QoE配置的標識。在一個實施例中,群組識別符是服務類型和/或無線電資源控制(RRC)級別標識(ID)(例如參考ID或簡稱ID)。In one embodiment, the network device 120 sends the group identifier of the QoE measurement configuration to the UE 130 (as shown in step S410 of FIG. 4 ). A group identifier (or called category, attribute or label) represents one of the QoE measurement configurations. In one embodiment, the group identifier is an identification of the QoE measurement configuration. In another embodiment, the group identifier is an identification of the RAN visible QoE configuration. In one embodiment, the group identifier is a service type and/or a radio resource control (RRC) level identification (ID) (eg, reference ID or ID for short).

在一個實施例中,QoE測量配置的群組識別符與QoE優先權相關。報告選擇資訊是優先權門檻值,且基於QoE優先權與優先權門檻值之間的比較結果來選擇第一QoE報告。In one embodiment, the group identifier of the QoE measurement configuration is related to the QoE priority. The report selection information is a priority threshold, and the first QoE report is selected based on a comparison between the QoE priority and the priority threshold.

在一個實施例中,群組識別符與報告量相關。報告選擇資訊是量門檻值,且基於報告量與量門檻值之間的比較結果來選擇第一QoE報告。In one embodiment, group identifiers are associated with reporting volumes. The report selection information is a volume threshold, and the first QoE report is selected based on a comparison between the reported volume and the volume threshold.

在一個實施例中,報告選擇資訊是位元圖配置。位元圖配置的一個位對應於群組識別符,且基於群組識別符與位元圖配置的比較結果來選擇第一QoE報告。In one embodiment, the report selection information is a bitmap configuration. One bit of the bitmap configuration corresponds to the group identifier, and the first QoE report is selected based on a comparison of the group identifier and the bitmap configuration.

在一個實施例中,群組識別符與QoE測量配置的唯一識別碼相關,報告選擇資訊可包括多個唯一識別碼的列表且基於唯一識別碼的列表選擇第一QoE報告。In one embodiment, the group identifier is associated with a unique identifier of the QoE measurement configuration, the report selection information may include a list of unique identifiers and the first QoE report is selected based on the list of unique identifiers.

在一個實施例中,網路設備120可不基於報告選擇資訊接收一個或多個第二QoE報告。第二QoE報告不與和避免報告選擇資訊中指示的報告暫停相關的QoE測量配置相關聯。In one embodiment, the network device 120 may not receive the one or more second QoE reports based on the report selection information. The second QoE report is not associated with the QoE measurement configuration associated with the report suspension indicated in the avoid report selection message.

在一個實施例中,網路設備120發送恢復指示(如圖4的步驟S460所示),且回應於發送恢復指示而基於恢復指示接收一個或多個第二QoE報告(如圖5A到圖7所示)。將在發送恢復指示之後接收第二QoE報告。In one embodiment, the network device 120 sends a recovery indication (as shown in step S460 of FIG. 4 ), and in response to sending the recovery indication, receives one or more second QoE reports based on the recovery indication (as shown in FIGS. 5A to 7 ). shown). The second QoE report will be received after sending the resume indication.

然而,可基於觸發事件而不是報告選擇資訊來選擇第一QoE報告。However, the first QoE report may be selected based on trigger events rather than report selection information.

圖9是根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的適用於UE 130的方法的流程圖。參照圖9,UE 130接收用於QoE測量配置的事件觸發資訊(步驟S910)。UE 130接收暫停指示(步驟S930)。UE 130基於事件觸發資訊決定發送或暫停一個或多個QoE報告(步驟S950)。FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a method applicable to UE 130 according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 9 , UE 130 receives event trigger information for QoE measurement configuration (step S910 ). UE 130 receives the suspension indication (step S930). The UE 130 decides to send or suspend one or more QoE reports based on the event-triggered information (step S950).

具體來說,QoE報告與QoE測量配置相關聯。在一個實施例中,事件觸發資訊與和QoE測量配置對應的測量結果滿足標準的事件相關,且UE基於事件觸發資訊決定發送或暫停所述一個或多個QoE報告。Specifically, QoE reports are associated with QoE measurement configurations. In one embodiment, the event trigger information is related to an event that the measurement result corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration meets the criteria, and the UE decides to send or suspend the one or more QoE reports based on the event trigger information.

在一個實施例中,標準與和QoE測量配置對應的測量結果相關。在一個實施例中,與QoE測量配置對應的測量結果包括在無線電存取網(RAN)可見QoE資訊中。舉例來說,測量結果是由UE 130報告的RAN可見QoE資訊(或RAN可見QoE值)。In one embodiment, the criteria are associated with measurement results corresponding to QoE measurement configurations. In one embodiment, the measurement results corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration are included in radio access network (RAN) visible QoE information. For example, the measurement result is RAN visible QoE information (or RAN visible QoE value) reported by UE 130 .

在一個實施例中,RAN可見QoE資訊的度量可為流服務的損壞持續時間(corruption duration)。如果網路設備120知曉此度量的結果,則網路設備120可調整UE 130的資源配置以滿足用戶體驗。In one embodiment, the metric of RAN visible QoE information may be the corruption duration of the streaming service. If the network device 120 knows the result of this measurement, the network device 120 can adjust the resource configuration of the UE 130 to meet the user experience.

在另一實施例中,RAN可見QoE資訊的度量可為流服務的緩衝級別(buffer level)。如果網路設備120知曉緩存級別的結果,則網路設備120可調整UE 130的資源配置,以確保存在足夠的緩存用於流,從而改善調度效率。In another embodiment, the measure of the RAN visible QoE information may be the buffer level of the streaming service. If the network device 120 is aware of the cache level results, the network device 120 can adjust the resource allocation of the UE 130 to ensure that there is enough buffer for the flow to improve scheduling efficiency.

在其他實施例中,RAN可見QoE資訊的度量可為第三代合作夥伴計畫(3 rdGeneration Partnership Project,3GPP) TR 38.890等中定義的其他度量。在又一實施例中,可透過模型/函數從其他QoE度量的資料匯出測量結果。 In other embodiments, the metric of the RAN visible QoE information may be other metrics defined in 3rd Generation Partnership Project ( 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP) TR 38.890 and the like. In yet another embodiment, measurement results may be derived from other QoE metric data through models/functions.

本實施例的暫停指示與上述實施例(例如圖3到圖8所示實施例)的暫停指示之間的不同之處在於,本實施例的暫停指示是在不具有前面的實施例中提及的報告選擇資訊的情況下接收。然而,發送具有與滿足標準的QoE測量配置對應的測量結果的一個或多個第一QoE報告,且暫停具有與不滿足標準的QoE測量配置對應的測量結果的一個或多個第二QoE報告。換句話說,第一QoE報告是基於觸發事件選擇。The difference between the suspend indication of this embodiment and the suspend indication of the above-mentioned embodiments (such as the embodiments shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 8 ) is that the suspend indication of this embodiment is mentioned in the previous embodiment without Received with the report opt-in information. However, one or more first QoE reports having measurement results corresponding to QoE measurement configurations meeting the criteria are sent, and one or more second QoE reports having measurement results corresponding to QoE measurement configurations not meeting the criteria are suspended. In other words, the first QoE report is selected based on the triggering event.

圖10是根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的具有暫停及恢復機制的QoE過程的信令流程圖。參照圖10,網路設備120向UE 130發送用於QoE測量配置的事件觸發資訊(步驟S1010)。由網路設備120檢測RAN超載(步驟S1020)。網路設備120向UE 130發送暫停指示(步驟S1030)。當UE 130接收到暫停指示時,QoE測量報告的狀態將從正常狀態NS改變成QoE報告的暫停狀態PS。此外,稍後釋放RAN超載(步驟S1050)。網路設備120向UE 130發送恢復指示(步驟S1060)。當UE 130接收到恢復指示時,QoE測量報告的狀態將從暫停狀態PS改變成QoE報告的正常狀態NS。Figure 10 is a signaling flow diagram of a QoE procedure with suspend and resume mechanism according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 10 , the network device 120 sends event trigger information for QoE measurement configuration to the UE 130 (step S1010 ). RAN overload is detected by the network device 120 (step S1020 ). The network device 120 sends a suspension indication to the UE 130 (step S1030 ). When the UE 130 receives the suspension indication, the status of the QoE measurement report will change from the normal status NS to the QoE report suspension status PS. Also, RAN overload is released later (step S1050). The network device 120 sends a recovery indication to the UE 130 (step S1060). When the UE 130 receives the resume indication, the state of the QoE measurement report will change from the suspended state PS to the normal state NS of the QoE report.

暫停/恢復機制可適用於所有的QoE報告(例如RAN可見報告或正常QoE報告)、每個QoE測量配置或每個RAN可見QoE配置。The pause/resume mechanism may apply to all QoE reports (eg RAN-visible reports or normal QoE reports), per QoE measurement configuration or per RAN-visible QoE configuration.

在圖9所示步驟S950或圖10所示步驟S1040的一個實施例中,UE 130將與QoE測量配置對應的測量結果與測量門檻值進行比較,且基於測量門檻值的比較結果決定發送或暫停一個或多個QoE報告。In an embodiment of step S950 shown in FIG. 9 or step S1040 shown in FIG. 10 , UE 130 compares the measurement result corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration with the measurement threshold, and decides to send or suspend based on the comparison result of the measurement threshold One or more QoE reports.

以損壞持續時間為例,UE 130將與損壞持續時間對應的值或測量結果與持續時間門檻值(即,測量門檻值)進行比較。UE 130可考慮回應於第一條件滿足事件的進入條件以及回應於第二條件滿足事件的離開條件。Taking the damage duration as an example, the UE 130 compares the value or measurement result corresponding to the damage duration with a duration threshold (ie, a measurement threshold). UE 130 may consider an entry condition in response to a first condition fulfillment event and an exit condition in response to a second condition fulfillment event.

舉例來說,第一條件為: Ms – Hys > Thresh…(1)。 第二條件為: Ms + Hys < Thresh…(2) Ms是在不考慮任何偏置的情況下與RAN可見QoE度量的損壞持續時間對應的測量結果。 Hys是此事件的滯後參數(即,在此事件的 reportConfigNR-QoE內定義的 hysteresis),然而可基於實際要求省略滯後參數。 Thresh是此事件的測量門檻值(即,在此事件的 reportConfigNR-QoE內定義的 q1-Threshold)。 Ms以微秒(microsecond,ms)表示。 Hys以與 Ms相同的單位表示。 Thresh以與 Ms相同的單位表示。 For example, the first condition is: Ms - Hys > Thresh...(1) . The second condition is: Ms + Hys < Thresh... (2) Ms is the measurement result corresponding to the impairment duration of the RAN visible QoE metric without considering any bias. Hys is the hysteresis parameter of this event (ie hysteresis defined within reportConfigNR-QoE of this event), however the hysteresis parameter may be omitted based on actual requirements. Thresh is the measurement threshold for this event (ie, q1-Threshold defined within reportConfigNR-QoE for this event). Ms is expressed in microseconds (microsecond, ms). Hys is expressed in the same units as Ms. Thresh is expressed in the same units as Ms.

圖11是示出根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的部分報告的示意圖。參照圖11,與QoE測量配置QoE 1對應的測量門檻值為 q1-Threshold-1,與QoE測量配置QoE 2對應的測量門檻值為 q1-Threshold-2,且與QoE測量配置QoE 3對應的測量門檻值為 q1-Threshold-3。星符號表示滿足其對應標準的事件,例如與QoE測量配置QoE 1對應的測量結果大於測量門檻值 q1-Threshold-1,此可視需要與作為函數(1)的滯後參數結合使用。因此,QoE測量配置QoE 1的報告將被認為是所述事件的第一QoE報告且將被發送。另一方面,方形符號表示不滿足其對應標準的事件,例如與QoE測量配置QoE 3對應的測量結果小於測量門檻值 q1-Threshold-3。因此,QoE測量配置QoE 3的報告將被認為是所述事件的第二QoE報告且將被暫停。 FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a partial report according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 11, the measurement threshold corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 is q1-Threshold-1 , the measurement threshold corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 is q1-Threshold-2 , and the measurement corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration QoE 3 The threshold value is q1-Threshold-3 . The star symbol indicates an event that meets its corresponding criterion, eg the measurement result corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 is greater than the measurement threshold q1-Threshold-1 , which can optionally be used in combination with the hysteresis parameter as function (1). Therefore, the report for QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 will be considered as the first QoE report for the event and will be sent. On the other hand, a square symbol indicates an event that does not meet its corresponding standard, for example, the measurement result corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration QoE 3 is smaller than the measurement threshold q1-Threshold-3 . Therefore, the report of QoE measurement configuration QoE 3 will be considered as the second QoE report for the event and will be suspended.

在一個實施例中,事件觸發資訊與隨機選擇的和QoE測量配置對應的隨機值滿足標準的事件相關,且UE基於事件觸發資訊決定發送或暫停所述至少一個QoE報告。舉例來說,所述標準可為報告檢查的檢查因數。報告檢查可為隨機選擇。作為另外一種選擇,報告檢查可與報告量、優先權、重要性、使用者需求、服務需求等的檢查相關,且實施例並不僅限於此。可選地,檢查因數可為表示報告檢查的狀態或測量結果的值或符號。In one embodiment, the event trigger information is related to a randomly selected event whose random value corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration satisfies a criterion, and the UE decides to send or suspend the at least one QoE report based on the event trigger information. For example, the criteria may be an inspection factor for reporting inspections. Report checks may be randomly selected. Alternatively, report checking may relate to checking of report volume, priority, importance, user needs, service needs, etc., and embodiments are not limited thereto. Optionally, the check factor may be a value or symbol representing the status or measurement of the reported check.

在圖9所示步驟S950或圖10所示步驟S1040的一個實施例中,UE 130將QoE測量配置對應的隨機值與門檻值進行比較,且基於門檻值的比較結果決定發送或暫停一個或多個QoE報告。換句話說,基於QoE測量的隨機值與門檻值之間的比較結果來選擇一個或多個第一QoE報告。In an embodiment of step S950 shown in FIG. 9 or step S1040 shown in FIG. 10, UE 130 compares the random value corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration with the threshold value, and decides to send or suspend one or more A QoE report. In other words, one or more first QoE reports are selected based on a comparison between the random value of the QoE measurement and the threshold value.

在一個實施例中,UE 130基於隨機分佈隨機地選擇值,以實現隨機選擇。隨機分佈可為例如均勻分佈、高斯分佈(Gaussian distribution)或其他分佈。In one embodiment, UE 130 randomly selects values based on a random distribution to achieve random selection. The random distribution can be, for example, a uniform distribution, a Gaussian distribution, or other distributions.

舉例來說,網路設備120將UE 130配置成使QoE測量配置QoE 1具有檢查因數=0.8,QoE測量配置QoE 2具有檢查因數=0.5,且QoE測量配置QoE 3具有檢查因數=0.2。檢查因數是門檻值。UE 130可繪製在以下範圍內均勻分佈的亂數“ rand”:0 ≤ rand< 1。如果亂數“ rand”低於由對應的檢查因數指示的值(即,事件滿足標準),則其QoE報告將被認為是觸發事件的第一QoE報告且將在PS狀態期間被發送到網路設備120。另一方面,如果亂數“ rand”不低於由對應的檢查因數指示的值(即,事件不滿足標準),則其QoE報告將被認為是第二QoE報告且將被暫停(即,不被發送)。 For example, network device 120 configures UE 130 to have QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 with check factor=0.8, QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 with check factor=0.5, and QoE measurement configuration QoE 3 with check factor=0.2. The checking factor is the threshold value. The UE 130 may map a random number " rand " uniformly distributed in the following range: 0≤rand <1. If the random number " rand " is lower than the value indicated by the corresponding check factor (i.e., the event meets the criteria), its QoE report will be considered as the first QoE report that triggered the event and will be sent to the network during the PS state device 120. On the other hand, if the random number " rand " is not lower than the value indicated by the corresponding check factor (i.e., the event does not meet the criteria), its QoE report will be considered a second QoE report and will be suspended (i.e., not is sent).

在一個實施例中,UE 130可從網路設備120接收恢復指示,且如果所述一個或多個QoE報告暫停,則回應於接收到恢復指示而基於恢復指示發送所述一個或多個QoE報告。被暫停的QoE報告具有與QoE測量配置對應的測量結果或者不滿足標準的隨機值。In one embodiment, UE 130 may receive a resume indication from network device 120, and if the one or more QoE reports are suspended, send the one or more QoE reports based on the resume indication in response to receiving the resume indication . Suspended QoE reports have measurement results corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration or random values that do not meet the criteria.

圖12是根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的適用於網路設備120的方法的流程圖。參照圖12,網路設備120發送用於QoE測量配置的事件觸發資訊(步驟S1210)。網路設備120發送暫停指示(步驟S1230)。網路設備120響應於發送暫停指示而基於事件觸發資訊接收一個或多個QoE報告(步驟S1250)。FIG. 12 is a flowchart of a method applicable to the network device 120 according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 12 , the network device 120 sends event trigger information for QoE measurement configuration (step S1210 ). The network device 120 sends a pause indication (step S1230). The network device 120 receives one or more QoE reports based on the event-triggered information in response to sending the pause indication (step S1250 ).

步驟S1210到步驟S1250的詳細說明可參照圖9到圖11且將被省略。一個或多個QoE報告與QoE測量配置相關聯。在一個實施例中,事件觸發資訊與和QoE測量配置對應的QoE測量結果滿足標準的事件相關。此外,網路設備120接收具有與滿足標準的QoE測量配置對應的QoE測量結果的事件的一個或多個第一QoE報告,且網路設備120不接收具有與不滿足標準的QoE測量配置對應的QoE測量結果的一個或多個第二QoE報告。Detailed descriptions of steps S1210 to S1250 may refer to FIGS. 9 to 11 and will be omitted. One or more QoE reports are associated with the QoE measurement configuration. In one embodiment, the event trigger information is related to the event that the QoE measurement result corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration meets the criteria. In addition, the network device 120 receives one or more first QoE reports for events with QoE measurement results corresponding to QoE measurement configurations that meet the standards, and the network device 120 does not receive events with QoE measurement configurations that do not meet the standards. One or more second QoE reports of the QoE measurements.

在一個實施例中,基於與QoE測量配置對應的測量結果與測量門檻值之間的比較結果發送或暫停一個或多個QoE報告。In one embodiment, one or more QoE reports are sent or suspended based on a comparison of the measurement corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration with a measurement threshold.

在另一實施例中,事件觸發資訊與隨機選擇的與QoE測量配置對應的隨機值滿足標準的事件相關。在一個實施例中,發送或暫停一個或多個QoE報告由UE 130基於與QoE測量配置對應的隨機值與門檻值之間的比較結果來決定。In another embodiment, the event-triggering information is associated with a randomly selected event for which a random value corresponding to a QoE measurement configuration satisfies a criterion. In one embodiment, sending or suspending one or more QoE reports is determined by UE 130 based on a comparison between a random value corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration and a threshold value.

在一個實施例中,網路設備120發送恢復指示(如圖10的步驟S1060所示),且如果一個或多個QoE報告暫停,則回應於發送恢復指示而基於恢復指示接收所述一個或多個QoE報告(如圖10所示)。將在發送恢復指示之後接收第二QoE報告。In one embodiment, the network device 120 sends a resume indication (as shown in step S1060 of FIG. 10 ), and if one or more QoE reports are suspended, the one or more QoE reports are received based on the resume indication in response to sending the resume indication. A QoE report (as shown in Figure 10). The second QoE report will be received after sending the resume indication.

然而,可基於報告選擇資訊及觸發事件二者而非報告選擇資訊或觸發事件發送第一QoE報告。However, the first QoE report may be sent based on both the report selection information and the trigger event instead of the report selection information or the trigger event.

圖13是根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的適用於UE 130的方法的流程圖。參照圖13,UE 130接收事件觸發資訊(步驟S1310)。UE 130接收具有報告選擇資訊的暫停指示(步驟S1330)。UE 130基於報告選擇資訊及事件觸發資訊二者決定發送或暫停一個或多個QoE報告(步驟S1350)。FIG. 13 is a flowchart of a method applicable to UE 130 according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 13 , the UE 130 receives event trigger information (step S1310 ). The UE 130 receives a pause indication with report selection information (step S1330 ). The UE 130 decides to send or suspend one or more QoE reports based on both the report selection information and the event trigger information (step S1350 ).

步驟S1310到步驟S1350的詳細說明可參照圖3到圖11且將被省略。本實施例與上述實施例(例如圖3到圖11所示實施例)之間的不同之處在於,在本實施例中考慮報告選擇資訊及事件觸發資訊二者。此意指一個或多個第一QoE報告由報告選擇資訊指示且具有事件(其滿足對應的標準)。Detailed descriptions of steps S1310 to S1350 may refer to FIGS. 3 to 11 and will be omitted. The difference between this embodiment and the above-mentioned embodiments (such as the embodiments shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 11 ) is that both report selection information and event trigger information are considered in this embodiment. This means that one or more first QoE reports are indicated by the report selection information and have events that satisfy the corresponding criteria.

圖14是根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的具有暫停及恢復機制的QoE過程的信令流程圖。參照圖14,網路設備120向UE 130分別發送或一同發送事件觸發資訊與QoE測量配置的群組識別符(步驟S1410)。網路設備120檢測RAN超載(步驟S1420)。網路設備120向UE 130發送具有報告選擇資訊的暫停指示(步驟S1430)。當UE 130接收到暫停指示時,QoE測量報告的狀態將從正常狀態NS改變成QoE報告的暫停狀態PS。UE將基於報告選擇資訊及事件觸發資訊二者發送QoE報告(步驟S1440)。此外,稍後釋放RAN超載(步驟S1450)。網路設備120向UE 130發送恢復指示(步驟S1460)。當UE 130接收到恢復指示時,QoE測量報告的狀態將從暫停狀態PS改變成QoE報告的正常狀態NS。Figure 14 is a signaling flow diagram of a QoE procedure with a pause and resume mechanism according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 14 , the network device 120 sends the event trigger information and the group identifier of the QoE measurement configuration to the UE 130 separately or together (step S1410 ). The network device 120 detects that the RAN is overloaded (step S1420). The network device 120 sends a pause indication with report selection information to the UE 130 (step S1430 ). When the UE 130 receives the suspension indication, the status of the QoE measurement report will change from the normal status NS to the QoE report suspension status PS. The UE will send the QoE report based on both the report selection information and the event trigger information (step S1440). Also, RAN overload is released later (step S1450). The network device 120 sends a recovery indication to the UE 130 (step S1460). When the UE 130 receives the resume indication, the state of the QoE measurement report will change from the suspended state PS to the normal state NS of the QoE report.

暫停/恢復機制可適用於所有的QoE報告(例如RAN可見報告或正常QoE報告)、每個QoE測量配置或每個RAN可見QoE配置。The pause/resume mechanism may apply to all QoE reports (eg RAN-visible reports or normal QoE reports), per QoE measurement configuration or per RAN-visible QoE configuration.

舉例來說,圖15是示出根據本公開示例性實施例中的一者的部分報告的示意圖。參照圖15,假設報告選擇資訊是優先權門檻值,且事件的標準與RAN可見QoE(例如損壞持續時間)相關。網路設備120將UE 130配置為:QoE測量配置QoE 1的QoE優先權為1,QoE測量配置QoE 2的QoE優先權為2,且QoE測量配置QoE 3的QoE優先權為3。此外,網路設備120將UE 130配置為:與QoE測量配置QoE 1對應的測量門檻值為 q1-Threshold-1,與QoE測量配置QoE 2對應的測量門檻值為 q1-Threshold-2,且與QoE測量配置QoE 3對應的測量門檻值為 q1-Threshold-3。網路設備120發送具有優先權門檻值(例如,1)的暫停指示。當滿足具有測量門檻值 q1-Threshold-1的事件的標準(在圖中被示出為星符號)時,UE 130將向網路設備120發送與QoE測量配置QoE 1對應的QoE報告,且由於較低的QoE優先權,暫停與QoE測量配置QoE 2及QoE 3對應的所有QoE報告。然而,當不滿足具有測量門檻值 q1-Threshold-1的事件的標準(在圖中被示出為方形符號)時,可暫停與QoE測量配置QoE 1對應的QoE報告。 For example, FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram illustrating a partial report according to one of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 15 , assume that the report selection information is a priority threshold, and the event criteria are related to RAN visible QoE (eg damage duration). The network device 120 configures the UE 130 as follows: QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 has a QoE priority of 1, QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 has a QoE priority of 2, and QoE measurement configuration QoE 3 has a QoE priority of 3. In addition, the network device 120 configures the UE 130 as: the measurement threshold corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 is q1-Threshold-1 , the measurement threshold corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration QoE 2 is q1-Threshold-2 , and The measurement threshold corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration QoE 3 is q1-Threshold-3 . The network device 120 sends a pause indication with a priority threshold (eg, 1). When the criteria for an event with a measurement threshold q1-Threshold-1 (shown as a star symbol in the figure) is met, the UE 130 will send a QoE report corresponding to the QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 to the network device 120, and since Lower QoE priority, suspending all QoE reports corresponding to QoE measurement configurations QoE 2 and QoE 3. However, QoE reporting corresponding to QoE measurement configuration QoE 1 may be suspended when the criteria for an event with measurement threshold q1-Threshold-1 (shown as a square symbol in the figure) is not met.
