Abstract

A method of quality of experience (QoE) measurement and reporting, includes: receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a first radio resource control (RRC) message comprising first configuration parameters of a first QoE configuration and second configuration parameters of a second QoE configuration; receiving, by the UE, an RRC release message indicating transitioning of the UE from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state, wherein the UE is in a connected state when the RRC release message is received; receiving, by the UE, from a second BS, an RRC resume message indicating transitioning of the UE from the RRC inactive state to the RRC connected state, wherein the UE is in an inactive state when the RRC resume message is received; and in response to receiving the RRC resume message, releasing the first QoE configuration and resuming the second QoE configuration.

Claims (39)

1 . A method of quality of experience (QoE) measurement and reporting, comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), from a first base station (BS), a first radio resource control (RRC) message comprising first configuration parameters of a first QoE configuration and second configuration parameters of a second QoE configuration;

receiving, by the UE, from the first BS, an RRC release message indicating transitioning of the UE from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state, wherein the UE is in the connected state when the RRC release message is received;

receiving, by the UE, from a second BS, an RRC resume message indicating transitioning of the UE from the RRC inactive state to the RRC connected state, wherein the UE is in the inactive state when the RRC resume message is received; and

in response to receiving the RRC resume message, determining to discard a first QoE measurement report associated with the first QoE configuration and to maintain a second QoE measurement report associated with the second QoE configuration,

wherein the second QoE measurement report is associated with a QoE-related signaling radio bearer (SRB) and the QoE-related SRB has a lower priority than a second SRB associated with an uplink common control logical channel.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second BS does not support the first QoE configuration.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second BS supports the second QoE configuration.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving information from the second BS that the second BS regarding support of at least one of the first QoE configuration or the second QoE configuration.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RRC message is an RRC reconfiguration message.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC release message comprises a suspend config information element (IE) indicating transitioning of the UE from the RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC resume message indicates restoring one or more configuration parameters for the UE after transitioning to the RRC connected state.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the discarding the first QoE measurement report occurs where the second BS does not support the first QoE configuration.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second QoE measurement report is via one or more RRC messages.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the QoE-related SRB is SRB 4.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more RRC messages comprise a measurement report application layer information element (MeasReportappLayer IE) comprising the second QoE measurement report.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second QoE measurement report comprises an identifier associated with a corresponding QoE configuration.

13 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the information includes at least one of a first identifier of the first QoE configuration and a second identifier of the second QoE configuration.

14 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the information is included in an RRC resume message.

15 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising receiving system information, and wherein the information is based on the system information.

16 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the suspend config information element (IE) comprises at least one of:

one or more radio network temporary identifiers (RNTIs);

a first parameter indicating a radio access network (RAN) paging cycle;

a second parameter indicating a RAN notification area; and

one or more timer values.

17 . A method of quality of experience (QoE) measurement and reporting, comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a first radio resource control (RRC) message comprising configuration parameters of a QoE configuration;

receiving, by the UE, an RRC release message indicating transitioning of the UE from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state;

receiving, by the UE, an RRC resume message indicating transitioning of the UE from the RRC inactive state to the RRC connected state; and

determining to discard or maintain a QoE measurement report associated with the QoE configuration in response to the RRC resume message indicating that at least one first configuration parameter of the configuration parameters a QoE configuration is updated,

wherein the QoE measurement report is associated with a QoE-related signaling radio bearer (SRB) and the QoE-related SRB has a lower priority than a second SRB associated with an uplink common control logical channel.

18 . A method of quality of experience (QoE) measurement and reporting, comprising:

transmitting, by a base station (BS), to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) resume message indicating transitioning of the UE from an RRC inactive state to an RRC connected state, wherein the UE is in the inactive state when the RRC resume message is transmitted,

wherein the RRC resume message causes the UE to determine to discard a first QoE measurement report associated with a first QoE configuration and to maintain a second QoE measurement report associated with a second QoE configuration, first configuration parameters of the first QoE configuration and second configuration parameters of the second QoE configuration being included in a first RRC message received by the UE, and

wherein the second QoE measurement report is associated with a QoE-related signaling radio bearer (SRB) and the QoE-related SRB has a lower priority than a second SRB associated with an uplink common control logical channel.

19 . A method of quality of experience (QoE) measurement and reporting, comprising:

transmitting, by a base station (BS), to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) resume message indicating transitioning of the UE from an RRC inactive state to an RRC connected state,

wherein, the RRC resume message indicating that at least one first configuration parameter of a QoE configuration is updated causes the UE to determine to discard or to maintain a QoE measurement report associated with the QoE configuration, the at least one first configuration parameter of the QoE configuration being included in a first RRC message received by the UE, and

wherein the QoE measurement report is associated with a QoE-related signaling radio bearer (SRB) and the QoE-related SRB has a lower priority than a second SRB associated with an uplink common control logical channel.
