Method and apparatus to enhance on quality of experience in the mobile communications
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Disclosed is a method of Quality of Experience, QoE, reporting, whereby a User Equipment, UE, transfers QoE data to a connected telecommunication network, wherein UE push mode, U Mode, is employed in all circumstances to transfer QoE information from the UE to the telecommunication network.
1 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) supporting a dual connectivity (DC) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a master node (MN) configuration information associated with a preference of a secondary cell group (SCG) deactivation;
transmitting, to the MN, a UE assistance information message associated with SCG deactivation preference information indicating that the UE prefers an SCG to be deactivated; and
receiving, from the MN, a radio resource control (RRC) message including SCG state indicating the SCG deactivation,
wherein the UE assistance information message associated with the SCG deactivation preference information is transmitted based on a prohibit timer for a minimum time for transmitting the UE assistance information message associated with the SCG deactivation and a time during which the UE was not using SCG resources for an uplink (UL) data transfer by considering a rule defining a leg for split radio bearers (RBs).
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE assistance information message further includes overheating assistance information.
3 . A method performed by a master node (MN) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information associated with a preference of a secondary cell group (SCG) deactivation;
receiving, from the UE, a UE assistance information message associated with SCG deactivation preference information indicating that the UE prefers an SCG to be deactivated; and
transmitting, to the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) message including SCG state information indicating the SCG deactivation,
wherein the reception of the UE assistance information message associated with the SCG deactivation preference information is based on a prohibit timer for a minimum time for transmitting the UE assistance information message associated with the SCG deactivation and a time during which the UE was not using SCG resources for an uplink (UL) data transfer by considering a rule defining a leg for split radio bearers (RBs).
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the UE assistance information message further includes overheating assistance information.
5 . A user equipment (UE) supporting a dual connectivity (DC) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver, and configured to:
receive, from a master node (MN), configuration information associated with a preference of a secondary cell group (SCG) deactivation,
transmit, to the MN, a UE assistance information message associated with SCG deactivation preference information indicating that the UE prefers an SCG to be deactivated, and
receive, from the MN, a radio resource control (RRC) message including SCG state information indicating the SCG deactivation,
wherein the UE assistance information message associated with the SCG deactivation preference information is transmitted based on a prohibit timer for a minimum time for transmitting the UE assistance information message associated with the SCG deactivation and a time during which the UE was not using SCG resources for an uplink (UL) data transfer by considering a rule defining a leg for split radio bearers RBs).
6 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the UE assistance information message further includes overheating assistance information.
7 . A master node (MN) in a wireless communication system, the MN comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller coupled with the transceiver, and configured to:
transmit, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information associated with a preference of a secondary cell group (SCG) deactivation,
receive, from the UE, a UE assistance information message associated with SCG deactivation preference information indicating that the UE prefers an SCG to be deactivated, and
transmit, to the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) message including SCG state information indicating the SCG deactivation,
wherein the reception of the UE assistance information message associated with the SCG deactivation preference information is based on a prohibit timer for a minimum time for transmitting the UE assistance information message associated with the SCG deactivation and a time during which the UE was not using SCG resources for an uplink (UL) data transfer by considering a rule defining a leg for split radio bearers (RBs).
8 . The MN of claim 7 , wherein the UE assistance information message further includes overheating assistance information.
