2、QoE测量:
对于一些流类业务或者语音业务或虚拟现实等而言,例如流服务(stream service),互联网协议多媒体***的多媒体电话服务(multimedia telephony service for IP multimedia subsystem service,MTSI service),虚拟现实(virtual reality),仅通过无线信号质量并不能体现用户在使用这些业务时的用户体验。QoE是一种性能指标,可以用于评价用户对服务质量的综合主观感受。为了优化网络以提高用户的体验,网络可以进行QoE测量,并基于QoE测量结果优化网络。其中,QoE测量也可称为应用层测量。
其中,QoE测量可以分为基于信令的QoE测量和基于管理的QoE测量。基于信令的QoE测量是指该QoE测量是针对指定终端设备的QoE测量,例如,核心网设备通过UE级别的信令向接入网设备发送该基于信令的QoE测量的配置信息。基于管理的QoE测量是指该QoE测量不是针对指定终端设备的QoE测量,例如,管理设备或OAM向接入网设备发送该基于管理的QoE测量的配置信息,由接入网设备根据当前接入该接入网设备的UE的能力等信息来选择一部分UE进行QoE测量。
例如,图2为一种QoE测量的流程示意图。该QoE测量的流程包括以下步骤:
步骤1:接入网设备接收QoE测量配置信息。
接入网设备接收QoE测量配置信息,分为以下两种情况:
情况一:对于基于信令的QoE测量,接入网设备接收来自核心网设备的QoE测量配置信息。
例如,接入网设备接收来自核心网设备的QoE测量配置信息,可以是接入网设备接收接入网设备与核心网设备之间针对某个UE的接口消息,该接口消息包括该QoE测量配置信息。
其中,QoE测量配置信息可以包括但不限于应用层测量配置(application layer measurement configuration)、QoE参考(QoE Reference)、测量收集实体IP地址(measurement collection entity Internet protocol address,MCE IP address)、业务类型(service type)、QoE测量收集支持的切片列表(slice support list for QMC)等信息。
其中,应用层测量配置用于指示终端设备对应用层指标进行测量。应用层指标可以包括但不限于:平均吞吐量(指示一个测量间隔内,UE的应用层接收的总比特数)、初始播放时延(例如为从获取流媒体的第一段的时刻到从客户端缓冲区中提取流媒体的时刻)、缓冲级别(指示从当前播放时刻开始,媒体数据还可以播放的持续时间)、播放时延(指示流媒体启动的播放时延,例如定义为从由超文本传送协议传输的动态自适应流媒体(dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP,DASH)播放器收到一个播放/回退/开始触发到媒体播放的时延)、连续的丢包数(指示连续丢失的实时传输协议报文数目)等信息。可选的,应用层测量配置还包括上报周期,用于指示UE在指定时间上报应用层测量结果。其中,应用层测量配置可以是以应用层测量配置容器(container for application layer measurement configuration)的形式发送给接入网设备,应用层测量配置容器可以视为一个整体container,接入网设备可以无需获知container中具体的信息。接入网设备对容器中的信息可以是不感知的,无需解析的,或者不能解析或感知的。可选的,应用层测量配置可能不是以container的形式发送给接入网设备,而是以一种接入网设备能感知的形式发送给接入网设备的(也可以称为非container的形式)。其中,接入网设备能感知是指接入网设备可以解读接收到的信息,
感知还可以替换为可见、获知、检测等,本申请不作限定。
其中,QoE reference是用于标识网络请求的QoE测量(或用于在接入网设备和测量收集实体中标识QoE测量),QoE reference也可以称为QoE测量标识。QoE reference是一个全局唯一的标识。例如,QoE reference是由公共陆地移动网(public land mobile network,PLMN,PLMN由移动国家码(mobile country code,MCC)和移动网络码(mobile network code,MNC)构成)和QoE测量收集标识构成,QoE测量收集标识是由OAM或CN分配的。MCE的IP地址用于指示指定的MCE,例如,接入网设备在收到终端设备上报的QoE测量结果之后,接入网设备可以根据MCE的IP地址把对应的测量结果发送给指定的MCE。
可选的,QoE测量配置信息还可以包括需要关联的MDT的相关信息(例如MDT的标识等),用于指示该QoE测量需要和MDT测量相关联。例如,测量收集实体可以把QoE测量结果和MDT测量结果关联起来,从而可以获知QoE测量结果的变差是否由于无线侧的信号质量下降导致的。其中,对MDT测量的相关描述请参见下文第2小节。
情况二:对于基于管理的QoE测量,接入网设备接收来自管理设备(例如OAM)的QoE测量配置信息,QoE测量配置信息包括应用层测量配置。与情况一的区别在于,管理设备发送的不是针对某个特定UE的QoE测量配置信息。可选的,如果需要UE针对某些切片(slice)的业务进行应用层测量,则在应用层测量配置容器中会配置对应的切片范围(例如,若UE只对部分切片的业务进行应用层测量,则应用层测量配置容器中携带切片的标识)。
其中,对于基于管理的QoE测量,QoE测量配置信息与情况一中的内容是类似的,此处不再赘述。
步骤2:接入网设备向终端设备发送QoE测量配置信息。
对于基于信令的QoE测量,接入网设备可以向对应的终端设备(例如向终端设备的接入层)发送应用层测量配置(例如应用层测量配置容器)。可选的,接入网设备也可以根据终端设备是否支持QoE测量来确定是否为该终端设备配置QoE测量。
对于基于管理的QoE测量,接入网设备根据来自管理设备的QoE测量配置信息、终端设备是否支持对应的QoE测量等参数选择合适的终端设备进行QoE测量。接入网设备向所选择的终端设备发送应用层测量配置。
例如,接入网设备向终端设备发送无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)消息,该RRC消息中携带应用层测量配置,还携带该应用层测量配置对应的业务类型。其中,步骤2中应用层测量配置可以是以container形式发送给终端设备,也可以是以一种非container的形式发送给终端设备,具体可以参考前文对应的描述,此处不再赘述。
可选的,接入网设备可以自己触发为终端设备配置应用层测量配置。在这种情况下,不限定于需要收到步骤1中的命令而触发向终端设备发送QoE测量配置信息,也即是,接入网设备可以直接通过RRC消息向终端设备发送自己生成的应用层测量配置,该RRC消息中也携带该应用层测量配置对应的业务类型。
可选的,接入网设备还可以向终端设备发送应用层测量标识。该应用层测量标识是接入网设备针对终端设备生成的,一个应用层测量标识对应一个接入网设备为该终端设备配置的一个应用层测量配置。例如,应用层测量标识可以和QoE reference对应,并且接入网设备保存了应用层测量标识和QoE reference的对应关系。可选的,应用层测量标识可以属于步骤2中的QoE测量配置信息的一部分。
其中,步骤1和步骤2中的QoE测量配置信息可以视为不同的信息,步骤1中的QoE测量配置信息为核心网设备或管理设备向接入网设备发送的信息,步骤2中的QoE测量配置信息为接入网设备向终端设备发送的信息,两者的信元名称可以不同,并且所包括的信息内容也可以不同。例如,步骤1中的QoE测量配置信息包括一个或多个container,各个container中包含了应用层测量配置;步骤1中的QoE测量配置信息还包括其他相关信息(例如QoE Reference,测量收集实体IP地址,业务类型等信息);步骤2中的QoE测量配置信息包括上述一个或多个container中的至少一个container,步骤2中的QoE测量配置信息包括业务类型,不包括测量收集实体IP地址。因此步骤1和步骤2中的QoE测量配置信息是不相同的。
步骤3:终端设备接入层向接入层的上层发送QoE测量配置信息。
其中,终端设备的上层可以是应用层(例如称为UE application,简称为UE APP),也可以是一个可以进行QoE测量的层。终端设备接入层(例如称为AS层)把应用层测量配置和业务类型发送给接入层的上层(例如称为AS的上层)。其中,步骤3中应用层测量配置可以是以container形式发送给终端设备,则AS层除了将应用层测量配置发送给AS的上层,还可以将其他相关的应用层指标的配置信息发送给AS的上层。
可选的,AS层还可以把每个应用层测量配置对应的应用层测量标识也发送给AS的上层。例如,AS层可以通过口令命令(attention comman,AT command)的方式将应用层测量配置等信息发送给AS的上层,以上口令命令也称为AT command+CAPPLEVMC(command application level measurement configuration)。
其中,步骤2和步骤3中的QoE测量配置信息一般包含的内容相同,但发送格式可能不同。可选的,步骤2和步骤3中的QoE测量配置信息可能包含的内容不相同,例如步骤3中的QoE测量配置信息只包括了步骤2中的QoE测量配置信息中的部分信息。
步骤4:终端设备的接入层的上层根据QoE测量配置信息进行QoE测量。
例如,终端设备的接入层的上层根据应用层测量配置进行测量,得到应用层测量结果。
步骤5:终端设备的接入层的上层向终端设备接入层发送QoE测量结果。
其中,本申请中的QoE测量结果包括终端设备的应用层测量结果。例如,AS的上层按照一定的规则(例如该规则是包含在应用层测量配置中)上报QoE测量结果(例如包括应用层测量结果)。例如,AS的上层可以周期性地上报应用层测量结果,或者,AS的上层可以在会话结束之后才上报应用层测量结果。其中,步骤5中应用层测量结果可以是以container的形式上报的。
可选的,如果应用层测量配置中设置了终端设备可以针对某些切片(slice)的业务进行应用层测量,则终端设备可以在以container形式上报的应用层测量结果中携带当前应用层测量结果是针对指定的slice进行应用层测量获得的测量结果,例如,在以container形式上报的应用层测量结果中携带slice的标识。另外,AS的上层除了可以上报应用层测量结果之外,还可以上报该应用层测量结果对应的应用层测量标识(即该应用层测量标识是应用层测量结果对应的应用层测量配置所对应的应用层测量标识)。
可选的,当启动应用层测量时,AS的上层可以向终端设备接入层发送启动指示信息,该启动指示信息用于指示该应用层测量已启动。类似的,当应用层测量结束时,AS的上层可以向终端设备接入层发送结束指示信息,该结束指示信息用于指示该应用层测量已结束。
步骤6:终端设备接入层向接入网设备发送QoE测量结果。
例如,终端设备接入层向接入网设备发送上行RRC消息,该上行RRC消息中携带应用层测量结果。其中,步骤6中应用层测量结果可以是以container形式发送给接入网设备,也可以是以非container的形式发送给接入网设备。可选的,终端设备接入层还可以向接入网设备发送应用层测量结果对应的应用层测量标识。
可选的,由于终端设备处于移动状态,则向终端设备发送QoE测量配置信息的接入网设备可能和接收QoE测量结果的接入网设备可能是同一个接入网设备,也可能不是同一个接入网设备。例如,当向终端设备发送QoE测量配置信息的接入网设备(例如称为源基站)和接收QoE测量结果的接入网设备(例如称为目标基站)不是同一个接入网设备时,表示终端设备从源基站切换至目标基站,在这种情况下,源基站可以向目标基站发送以下信息:启动指示信息(用于指示应用层测量是否已启动)、QoE测量配置信息(例如基于信令的QoE测量配置信息,即源基站从核心网设备接收的QoE测量配置信息)等。
步骤7:接入网设备向测量收集实体发送QoE测量结果。
例如,接入网设备根据预先保存的应用层测量标识和QoE reference的对应关系,以及终端设备上报应用层测量标识,获得该应用层测量结果对应的QoE reference;再根据QoE reference查找到对应的MCE的地址,把应用层测量结果发送给对应的MCE。又例如,接入网设备根据终端设备上报的应用层测量标识获得对应的应用层测量配置,再根据核心网设备或OAM下发的QoE测量配置信息获得该应用层测量结果对应的MCE的地址,把应用层测量结果发送给对应的MCE。
可选的,出于QoE分析的目的,可以通过MDT测量来收集QoE测量的业务对应的无线侧相关测量。例如,测量收集实体/跟踪收集实体(MCE/TCE)可以将同一终端设备获取的应用层测量结果和MDT测量结果相关联。本实施例中,应用层测量结果和MDT测量结果关联(也可以称为QoE测量结果和MDT测量结果关联),具体可以是该测量收集实体/跟踪收集实体将应用层测量结果和MDT测量结果对应存储,即该测量收集实体存储QoE测量和MDT测量之间的关联关系。例如,该测量收集实体/跟踪收集实体将指示应用层测量结果的信息(例如,QoE参考)和指示MDT测量的信息(例如,MDT测量标识)对应存储,以建立应用层测量结果和MDT测量结果之间的关联关系。应用层测量结果和MDT测量结果关联也可以是测量收集实体/跟踪收集实体获取应用层测量结果对应的时间段内的MDT测量结果。例如,应用层测量结果中携带第一时间信息,以及第一接入网设备或/和第二接入网设备向测量收集实体/跟踪收集实体发送MDT测量结果时,还发送第二时间信息。测量收集实体/跟踪收集实体根据第一时间信息和第二时间信息能获知该MDT测量结果是在该应用层测量结果对应的时间段内的MDT测量结果,或获知MDT测量结果
对应的时间段和该应用层测量结果对应的时间段是有交叠的。应用层测量结果和MDT测量结果关联也可以是测量收集实体/跟踪收集实体分析应用层测量结果的恶化或变差是否是由于MDT测量结果的恶化或变差导致的。可选的,网络设备或终端设备可以通过上述关联关系,在获知应用层测量结果时,可以确定对应的MDT测量结果。
例如,当应用层测量结果和MDT测量结果需要关联时,接入网设备向MCE发送的应用层测量结果中还携带MDT的测量标识(比如MDT trace ID)和时间信息。MCE/TCE(目前协议中暂未规定是MCE还是TCE执行关联)根据应用层测量结果对应的时间信息和MDT测量结果对应的时间信息,可以获得应用层测量结果对应的时间段内的MDT测量结果,也即是,将应用层测量结果和MDT测量结果相关联。
3、MDT测量:
MDT测量的基本思想是运营商通过签约用户的商用终端进行测量,并发送测量结果来部分替代传统的路测工作,实现自动收集终端测量数据,以检测和优化无线网络中的问题和故障。目前MDT测量的测量类型可包括但不限于以下几种:
(1)信号水平测量:由终端测量无线信号的信号水平,并将测量结果发送给基站或基站控制器;
(2)服务质量(quality of service,QoS)测量:通常由基站执行QoS测量(例如,测量业务的流量、业务的吞吐量,业务时延等),也可以由终端执行QoS测量(例如,测量上行处理时延),还可以是由基站和终端联合处理(例如,测量空口时延,空口时延为从数据包经过基站的服务数据适配协议(service data adaptation protocol,SDAP)/包数据汇聚协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层到该数据包达到终端的SDAP/PDCP层的时间)。
(3)可接入性测量:由终端记录RRC连接建立失败的信息,并发送给基站或基站控制器。
其中,MDT测量包括logged MDT和immediate MDT。immediate MDT测量为针对处于RRC连接态(RRC_CONNECTED)的终端进行的测量,用于测量UE的数据量、IP吞吐率、包传输时延、丢包率、处理时延等。logged MDT测量为针对处于空闲态(RRC_IDLE)或非激活态(RRC_INACTIVE)的终端进行的测量,用于对终端的接收信号强度进行测量。例如,空闲态或非激活态的UE对当前驻留的小区对应的频点的小区及当前驻留的小区中广播的小区重选对应的异频/异***相邻小区进行logged MDT测量。
其中,MDT测量也可以分为基于信令的MDT(signalling based MDT)测量或基于管理的MDT(management based MDT)测量。并且,基于信令的MDT测量或基于管理的MDT测量都可以包括logged MDT和immediated MDT。
基于信令的MDT测量是指针对指定的终端设备的MDT测量,例如,接入网设备接收来自核心网设备的针对指定的终端设备进行MDT测量的消息。基于信令的MDT测量中,在终端设备允许进行MDT测量的情况下,核心网设备才能发起针对该终端设备的MDT测量。在基于信令的MDT测量中,核心网设备可以向接入网设备发送以下信息:MDT配置信息、跟踪收集实体(trace collection entity,TCE)的IP地址等。其中,MDT配置信息可以包括但不限于:MDT的激活类型(例如,MDT的激活类型可以包括但不限于immediate MDT only、logged MDT only、immediate MDT and Trace等),MDT的区域范围,MDT的模式及对应模式的配置参数(例如,immediate MDT的测量事件,logged MDT的记录间隔和持续时间等),基于信令MDT的PLMN列表等。可选的,本申请中的TCE和MCE也可以互相替代,本申请不作限定。
基于管理的MDT测量并不是针对指定的终端设备的MDT测量,接入网设备是从管理设备(例如OAM)接收进行MDT测量的消息,并基于相应的策略从该接入网设备下的终端设备中选择终端设备进行MDT测量。在基于管理的MDT测量中,接入网设备在选择终端设备进行MDT测量时,可以判断终端设备是否允许进行MDT测量,然后选择允许进行MDT测量的终端设备进行MDT测量。例如,核心网设备可以向接入网设备发送消息,该消息包括基于管理的MDT测量的允许标识(例如该允许标识表示指定的终端设备允许进行MDT测量)。可选的,该消息还包括基于管理MDT测量的PLMN列表。
二、本申请提供的第一种测量方法:
图3为本申请提供的一种测量方法的流程示意图。该测量方法应用于如图1所示的通信***。例如,该测量方法可以由接入网设备、第一设备和第二设备之间的交互实现,其中,第一设备为核心网设备或管理设备,第二设备包括MCE和/或TCE。该方法包括以下步骤:
S101,第一设备向接入网设备发送QoE测量配置信息,QoE测量配置信息包括第一指示信息。对应的,接入网设备接收来自第一设备的QoE测量配置信息。
其中,第一指示信息用于指示上报终端设备的移动速度信息。例如,当接入网设备接收第一指示信息
后,可以获取并上报终端设备的移动速度信息。其中,QoE测量配置信息中的其他信息可以参考第一部分中对QoE测量配置信息的描述,此处不再赘述。
可选的,QoE测量配置信息中还可以包括组播广播业务(multicast broadcast service,MBS)的会话标识(session ID),用于指示针对指定的MBS session ID对应的业务进行应用层测量。可选的,以container形式携带的应用层测量配置容器中还包括MBS session ID。MBS session ID包括组标识TMGI,用于唯一标识MBS业务。
其中,本申请中的QoE测量可以是指基于管理的QoE测量或者基于信令的QoE测量。例如,当第一设备为管理设备(例如OAM等)时,该QoE测量是指基于管理的QoE测量;当第一设备为核心网设备时,该QoE测量是指基于信令的QoE测量。
S102,接入网设备根据QoE测量配置信息,确定终端设备的移动速度信息。
其中,接入网设备确定终端设备的移动速度信息,可以包括以下两种情况:
情况一:当终端设备处于空闲态(RRC_IDLE态)或非激活态(RRC_INACTIVE)时,由终端设备根据QoE测量配置信息确定自身的移动速度信息,并向接入网设备发送终端设备的移动速度信息。
例如,当终端设备处于空闲态(RRC_IDLE态)或非激活态(RRC_INACTIVE)时,终端设备和接入网设备之间未连接,终端设备可以接收接入网设备的广播消息(例如接收针对广播业务的QoE测量配置信息),再根据接收的QoE测量配置信息确定终端设备的移动速度信息。又例如,终端设备在进入RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE态之前接收接入网设备发送的QoE测量配置信息,当终端设备处于RRC_IDLE/RRC_INACTIVE态时,终端设备根据接收的QoE测量配置信息确定终端设备的移动速度信息。
情况一中,QoE测量配置信息还包括第一配置信息,第一配置信息用于终端设备确定终端设备的移动速度信息。其中,第一配置信息包括以下一种或多种信息:测量周期,第一小区重选次数,第二小区重选次数,移动速度信息的上报条件。
(1)测量周期:表示进入移动状态的评估标准的持续时间(the duration for evaluating criteria to enter mobility states)。也即是,以每一个测量周期为准,判断终端设备处于哪一种移动状态。具体的判断条件包括第一小区重选次数和第二小区重选次数。
(2)第一小区重选次数:在测量周期内,当终端设备执行小区重选的次数大于第一小区重选次数时,则终端设备处于第一移动速度状态。其中,第一移动速度状态也称为高速移动状态(high mobility state),则第一小区重选次数表示进入高速移动状态的小区重选次数(the number of cell reselections to enter high mobility state)。
(3)第二小区重选次数:在测量周期内,当终端设备执行小区切换的次数大于或等于第二小区切换次数,且小于或等于第一小区切换次数时,则终端设备处于第二移动速度状态。其中,第二移动速度状态对应的速度小于第一移动速度状态对应的速度。第二移动速度状态也称为中速移动状态(medium mobility state),则第二小区重选次数表示进入中速移动状态的小区重选次数(the number of cell reselections to enter medium mobility state)。
可选的,在测量周期内,当终端设备执行小区重选的次数小于第二小区重选次数时,则终端设备处于第三移动速度状态,第三移动速度状态对应的速度小于第二移动速度状态对应的速度。第三移动速度状态也称为正常移动状态(normal mobility state)。
(4)移动速度信息的上报条件:用于指示当终端设备处于上报移动速度状态时,上报终端设备的移动速度信息。其中,上报移动速度状态包括第一移动速度状态、第二移动速度状态或第三移动速度状态中的一种或多种组合。例如,当移动速度信息的上报条件指示终端设备为高速移动状态或中速移动状态时,终端设备才上报终端设备的移动速度信息。当终端设备为正常移动状态时,终端设备可以不上报移动速度信息。
可选的,第一配置信息可以为现有的小区重选中判断高速移动状态、中速移动状态或正常移动状态的规则。也即是,CN或OAM无需额外配置新的判断条件,而是利用现有的小区重选中判断终端设备的移动速度的规则,判断终端设备的移动速度状态。例如,第一配置信息可以指示利用小区重选中的移动速度状态判断准则获得移动速度状态(即第一配置信息并不包括以上的测量周期,第一小区重选次数,第二小区重选次数)。
例如,情况一中,S102可以扩展为以下步骤,如图4a所示:
S102a,接入网设备向终端设备发送QoE测量配置信息,QoE测量配置信息包括第一指示信息和第一配置信息。
可选的,S102a中的QoE测量配置信息可以和S101中的QoE测量配置信息相同或不同。可参见前面图2中步骤2中描述的步骤1和步骤2中的QoE测量配置信息的区别。在本实施例中,S102a中的QoE测量配置信息和S101中的QoE测量配置信息都包括第一指示信息和第一配置信息。
S102b,终端设备根据第一配置信息确定终端设备对应的移动速度信息。
S102c,终端设备根据第一指示信息,向接入网设备发送终端设备的QoE测量结果和对应的移动速度信息。
其中,接入网设备向终端设备发送的第一指示信息,与接入网设备从核心网设备或管理设备接收的第一指示信息的含义是相同的,都是用于指示上报终端设备的移动速度信息,但是具体的指示方式可能不相同。例如,可以采用一个或多个比特进行指示,本申请不作限定。
可选的,当第一配置信息包括移动速度信息的上报条件,并且终端设备确认终端设备对应的移动速度信息满足该上报条件时,终端设备才上报移动速度信息。
又例如,情况一中,S102可以扩展为以下步骤,如图4b所示:

情况二:接入网设备向第二设备发送MDT测量结果,该MDT测量结果包括终端设备的移动速度信息。
其中,若接入网设备是在MDT测量结果中携带终端设备的移动速度信息,则执行S103之前,接入网设备还可以执行以下步骤:
接入网设备接收来自第一设备的MDT测量配置信息;
接入网设备向终端设备发送该MDT测量配置信息;
接入网设备接收来自终端设备的MDT测量结果,该MDT测量结果包括终端设备的移动速度信息。
其中,对MDT测量配置信息的描述可以参考第一部分第三小节中对应的描述,此处不再赘述。可选的,情况二中,第一设备向接入网设备发送的QoE测量配置信息可以包括第二指示信息,第二指示信息用于指示QoE测量和MDT测量进行关联。例如,在MDT配置信息中携带应用层测量的标识(例如QoE reference),或者在QoE测量配置信息中携带MDT测量的标识(例如MDT trace ID),以使QoE测量和MDT测量相关联。

可选的,由于终端设备处于移动状态,则向终端设备发送QoE测量配置信息的接入网设备可能和接收QoE测量结果的接入网设备可能是同一个接入网设备,也可能不是同一个接入网设备。
情况二中,第二设备接收应用层测量结果和MDT测量结果后,由于MDT测量和QoE测量关联,第二设备可以确定各个应用层测量结果对应的终端设备的移动速度信息。例如,MDT测量和QoE测量之间可以通过测量时间进行关联,也即是,在相同时间段内记录的MDT测量结果和应用层测量结果可以视为相关联的测量结果。则第二设备接收指定时间段的MDT测量结果,获取该时间段内的终端设备的移动速度信息,就可以将该时间段内的终端设备的移动速度信息和该时间段内的应用层测量结果相关联,从而第二设备可以分析应用层测量结果与终端设备的移动速度信息之间的关系。
三、本申请提供的第二种测量方法:

其中,第二指示信息用于指示QoE测量和MDT测量进行关联。例如,MDT测量和QoE测量之间可以通过测量时间进行关联,也即是,在相同时间段内记录的MDT测量结果和应用层测量结果可以视为相关联的测量结果。
可选的,QoE测量配置信息还包括MDT测量的标识(例如MDT trace ID),以使QoE测量和MDT测量相关联。可选的,QoE测量配置信息中可以不包括MDT测量的标识,则第二指示信息表示QoE测量可以和接入网设备向终端设备配置的任何MDT测量进行关联。
S202,接入网设备配置MDT测量。
其中,MDT测量对应一个MDT测量的标识。
其中,由于QoE测量需要和MDT测量相关联,则接入网设备需要配置MDT测量。例如,接入网设备接收来自第一设备的MDT测量配置信息,该MDT测量配置信息中包括MDT测量的标识。则接入网设备配置为终端设备配置该MDT测量。可选的,若QoE测量配置信息中包括QoE测量关联的MDT测量的标识,则接入网设备根据QoE测量配置信息中携带的MDT测量的标识确定为终端设备配置哪一个MDT测量。可选的,若QoE测量配置信息中不包括QoE测量关联的MDT测量的标识,则接入网设备根据从第一设备收到的MDT测量配置中选择一个MDT测量配置为终端设备配置MDT测量。

例如,当接入网设备获知QoE测量和MDT测量相关联,并且终端设备已启动QoE测量对应的应用层测量时,接入网设备就可以向MCE发送QoE测量标识(例如QoE reference)和MDT测量标识(例如MDT trace ID)。区别于目前接入网设备在获得了QoE测量结果之后才会向MCE发送MDT测量标识,本申请中接入网设备只需获知终端设备已启动QoE测量对应的应用层测量时,就可以向MCE发送MDT测量标识。
具体来说,接入网设备获知终端设备已启动QoE测量对应的应用层测量时,可以包括以下两种情况:
情况一:当接入网设备接收来自终端设备的QoE测量启动指示信息时,接入网设备获知终端设备已启动QoE测量对应的应用层测量,就可以向第二设备发送QoE测量的标识和MDT测量的标识。

一种示例中,若终端设备在高速移动的过程中从第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备,第二接入网设备也可以执行类似S203中的步骤,使得第二接入网设备也可以向第二设备发送QoE测量标识和MDT测量标识。这样MCE/TCE就会可以将MDT测量结果和应用层测量结果相关联,而不会遗漏终端设备高速移动过程中上报给不同接入网设备的应用层测量结果和对应的MDT测量结果。
可选的,假设执行S201-S203的接入网设备为第一接入网设备(终端设备切换前接入的基站),终端设备切换后接入的是第二接入网设备。S203之后,还可以执行以下步骤:
S204,当终端设备从第一接入网设备切换至第二接入网设备时,第一接入网设备向第二接入网设备发送QoE测量配置信息。对应的,第二接入网设备接收来自第一接入网设备的QoE测量配置信息。
其中,QoE测量配置信息包括QoE测量的标识和第二指示信息,第二指示信息指示QoE测量和MDT测量进行关联。对QoE测量配置信息和第二指示信息的描述可以参考前文第二部分以及S201中对应的描述,此处不再赘述。例如,当终端设备切换至第二接入网设备后,第一接入网设备可以将从第一设备获取的QoE测量配置信息以及终端设备已启动QoE测量对应的应用层测量的指示信息发送给第二接入网设备。

其中,MDT测量对应一个MDT测量的标识。对QoE测量关联的MDT测量以及MDT测量的标识的描述可以参考前文第二部分以及S202中对应的描述,此处不再赘述。
S206,当终端设备已启动QoE测量对应的应用层测量时,第二接入网设备向第二设备发送QoE测量的标识和MDT测量的标识。
