Abstract

Claims (38)

1 . A method performed by a wireless device configured to perform measurements, the method comprising:

responsive to an application session starting, performing one or more quality of experience (QoE) measurements associated with the application;

transmitting to a base station a first session feedback indication based on the QoE measurements, wherein the first session feedback indication indicates that the application session has started; and

responsive to transmitting the first session feedback indication, receiving a command from the base station to perform one or more radio measurements.

2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the first session feedback indication is transmitted by an application layer in the wireless device to a radio resource control (RRC) layer in the wireless device, and then transmitted to the base station by the RRC layer.

3 . The method of 1 wherein the first session feedback indication comprises an indication of a service type of the application.

4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more radio measurements include one or more of the following: one or more MDT measurements, one or more layer-2 measurements, and one or more radio resource management (RRM) measurement.

5 . The method of claim 1 further comprising transmitting to the base station results of the one or more radio measurements.

6 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

stopping or pausing the one or more QoE measurements; and

responsive to stopping or pausing the one or more QoE measurements, transmitting to the base station a second session feedback indication indicating that the QoE measurements have stopped or paused.

7 . The method of claim 6 further comprising, responsive to transmitting the second session feedback indication to the base station, receiving from the base station a command to terminate or pause the one or more radio measurements.

8 . The method of claim 6 wherein the one or more QoE measurements are stopped in response to the application session terminating.

9 . The method of claim 1 further comprising, responsive to the application session stopping or pausing, terminating or pausing the one or more radio measurements.

10 . The method of claim 1 wherein the command to perform one or more radio measurements comprises an indication of the one or more radio measurements to be performed.

11 . The method of claim 1 wherein the wireless device is pre-configured with a measurement configuration indicating the one or more radio measurements.

12 . A method performed by a base station configured to perform measurements, the method comprising:

receiving from a wireless device first session feedback indication based on wireless device quality of experience (QoE) measurements associated with an application, wherein the first session feedback indication indicates that an application session has started; and

responsive to receiving the session feedback indication, transmitting to the wireless device a command to perform one or more radio measurements.

13 . The method of claim 12 wherein the first session feedback indication comprises an indication of a service type of the application.

14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more radio measurements include one or more of the following: one or more MDT measurements, one or more layer-2 measurements, and one or more radio resource management (RRM) measurement.

15 . The method of claim 12 further comprising receiving from the wireless device results of the one or more radio measurements.

16 . The method of claim 12 further comprising receiving from the wireless device a second session feedback indication indicating that the QoE measurements have stopped or paused.

17 . The method of claim 16 further comprising, responsive to the second session feedback indication, transmitting to the wireless device a command to terminate or pause the one or more radio measurements.

18 . The method of claim 16 wherein the one or more QoE measurements have stopped in response to the application session terminating.

19 . The method of claim 16 wherein the command to perform one or more radio measurements comprises an indication of the one or more radio measurements to be performed.

20 . The method of claim 12 further comprising pre-configuring the wireless device with a measurement configuration indicating the one or more radio measurements.

21 . A wireless device configured to perform measurements, the wireless device comprising:

processing circuitry; and

a memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry, whereby the wireless device is operative to:

responsive to an application session starting, perform one or more Quality of Experience, QoE, measurements associated with the application;

transmit a first session feedback indication based on the QoE measurements to a base station, wherein the first session feedback indication indicates that the application session has started; and

responsive to transmitting the first session feedback indication, receive a command from the base station to perform one or more radio measurements.

22 . A base station configured to perform measurements, the base station comprising:

processing circuitry; and

a memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry, whereby the base station is operative to:

receive first session feedback indication based on QoE measurements from a wireless device, wherein the first session feedback indication indicates that an application session has started; and

responsive to receiving the session feedback indication, transmit a command to the wireless device to perform one or more radio measurements.
