Quality of experience measurements for radio access networks

1 . A method of wireless communication, comprising:

generating, by a network node based on a first quality of experience (QoE) measurement configuration, a second QoE measurement configuration, wherein the network node comprises a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU) that is separate from the CU;

transmitting, to a wireless device, a first radio resource control message comprising the second QoE measurement configuration, wherein the first QoE measurement configuration configures the wireless device to perform a QoE measurement that is not visible to the network node and the second QoE measurement configuration configures the wireless device to perform a QoE measurement that is visible to the network node;

transmitting, by the CU to the DU, an F1 Application Protocol (F1AP) request message comprising the first QoE measurement configuration and the second QoE measurement configuration; and

receiving, from the DU, an F1AP response message comprising an indication that the DU has received the F1AP request message.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, by the CU to the DU, an F1AP request message comprising the first QoE measurement configuration; and

receiving, from the DU, an F1AP response message comprising the second QoE measurement configuration,

wherein the DU is configured to generate the second QoE measurement configuration upon receiving the F1AP request message.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CU makes a determination to deactivate QoE measurements that are visible to the network node, and wherein the method further comprises:

transmitting, by the CU to the DU, an F1 Application Protocol (F1AP) request message comprising a deactivation message corresponding to both the first QoE measurement configuration and the second QoE measurement configuration; and

receiving, from the DU, an FAP response message comprising an indication that the DU has released configurations related to both the first QoE measurement configuration and the second QoE measurement configuration.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the deactivation message comprises at least one of a deactivation indication corresponding to both the first QoE measurement configuration and the second QoE measurement configuration, a QoE reference for the second QoE measurement configuration, or a service type for the second QoE measurement configuration.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the DU makes a determination to deactivate QoE measurements that are visible to the network node, and wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, at the CU from the DU, an F1AP message comprising a deactivation configuration,

wherein the deactivation configuration corresponds to the second QoE measurement configuration.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the deactivation configuration comprises a deactivation indication corresponding to the second QoE measurement configuration, a QoE reference for the second QoE measurement configuration, or a service type for the second QoE measurement configuration.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the CU makes a determination to suspend or resume QoE measurements that are visible to the network node, and wherein the method further comprises:

transmitting, from the CU to the DU, an F1AP request message comprising a configuration to suspend or resume the QoE measurements that are visible to the network node,

wherein the configuration to suspend or resume the QoE measurements that are visible to the network node comprises at least one of an indication to suspend or resume the QoE measurements that are visible to the network node, a QoE reference for the second QoE measurement configuration, or a service type for the second QoE measurement configuration; and

receiving, from the DU and subsequent to transmitting the F1AP request message, an F1AP response message.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the DU makes a determination to suspend or resume QoE measurements that are visible to the network node, and wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, at the CU from the DU, an F1AP request message comprising a configuration to suspend or resume the QoE measurements that are visible to the network node,

wherein the configuration to suspend or resume the QoE measurements that are visible to the network node comprises at least one of an indication to suspend or resume the QoE measurements that are visible to the network node, a QoE reference for the second QoE measurement configuration, or a service type for the second QoE measurement configuration.

9 . An apparatus for wireless communication, wherein the apparatus comprises a central unit (CU), a distributed unit (DU), processor electronics, and a memory storing instructions, wherein the DU is separate from the CU, and wherein execution of the instructions by the processor electronics causes the apparatus to:

receive a first quality of experience (QoE) measurement configuration;

generate, based on the first QoE measurement configuration, a second QoE measurement configuration;

transmit, to a wireless device, a first radio resource control message comprising the second QoE measurement configuration and an activation configuration, wherein the first QoE measurement configuration configures the wireless device to perform a QoE measurement that is not visible to the apparatus and the second QoE measurement configuration configures the wireless device to perform a QoE measurement that is visible to the apparatus;

transmit, from the CU to the DU, an F1 Application Protocol (F1AP) request message comprising the first QoE measurement configuration and the second QoE measurement configuration; and

receive, from the DU, an F1AP response message comprising an indication that the DU has received the F1AP request message.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

transmit, from the CU to the DU, an F1 Application Protocol (F1AP) request message comprising the first QoE measurement configuration; and

receiving, from the DU, an F1AP response message comprising the second QoE measurement configuration,

wherein the DU is configured to generate the second QoE measurement configuration upon receiving the F1AP request message.

11 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the CU makes a determination to deactivate QoE measurements that are visible to the apparatus, and wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

transmit, from the CU to the DU, an F1 Application Protocol (F1AP) request message comprising a deactivation message corresponding to both the first QoE measurement configuration and the second QoE measurement configuration; and

receive, from the DU, an F1AP response message comprising an indication that the DU has released configurations related to both the first QoE measurement configuration and the second QoE measurement configuration.

12 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the DU makes a determination to deactivate QoE measurements that are visible to the apparatus, and wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

receive, at the CU from the DU, an F1AP message comprising a deactivation configuration,

wherein the deactivation configuration corresponds to the second QoE measurement configuration.
