Specifically, in step S110, the NAS of the terminal triggers the QoE measurement report, and sends QoE measurement report information to the AS, that is, the AS of the terminal obtains the QoE measurement report information sent by the NAS.
The AS of the terminal measures air interface parameters, and determines air interface measurement information associated with QoE measurement report information after receiving the QoE measurement report information sent by the NAS.
Optionally, according to a pre-configured target air interface parameter, the AS of the terminal performs air interface measurement to obtain air interface measurement information.
Specifically, the pre-configured target air interface parameter may include at least one of the air interface measurement information, and the corresponding air interface measurement information is obtained by measuring the target air interface parameter.
In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the air interface measurement information is associated with the QoE measurement report information in terms of measurement time and/or service.
In one embodiment, when the air interface measurement information is associated with the QoE measurement report information in measurement time, the air interface measurement information is measurement information obtained by measuring an air interface parameter in a target measurement interval; wherein the target measurement interval is determined according to the receiving time of the QoE measurement report information.
Thus, optionally, the method further comprises:
determining air interface measurement information obtained by measuring a target air interface parameter in a target measurement interval; the target measurement interval is determined according to the receiving time of the QoE measurement report information, that is, the determined air interface measurement information is associated with the target measurement interval determined according to the receiving time of the QoE measurement report information, so that the air interface measurement information is associated with the QoE measurement report information, and in step S120, the AS sends an air interface message including the QoE measurement report information and the associated air interface measurement information to the base station.
After receiving the air interface message including the QoE measurement report information of the application layer QoE measurement and the air interface measurement information of the air interface measurement, the base station analyzes whether the reason influencing the QoE experience of the user is due to air interface transmission by analyzing the air interface message: if so, the base station may optimize air interface transmission by adjusting the air interface configuration, thereby reducing the user QoE experience impact caused by the air interface transmission to the maximum extent.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the process of the terminal performing the base station measurement reporting may include:
s210, the terminal AS measures a target air interface parameter;
s220, the terminal NAS carries out QoE evaluation, application layer QoE reporting is carried out after certain conditions are triggered, and QoE measurement report information is reported to a terminal AS;
s230, the terminal AS receives the QoE measurement report information, determines air interface measurement information obtained by measuring a target air interface parameter in a target measurement interval, and associates the air interface measurement information with the QoE measurement report information;

In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the target measurement interval for determining the air interface measurement information associated with the QoE measurement report information may be a time interval between the current reception time of the QoE measurement report information and the previous reception time of the QoE measurement report information.
Based on this, the target measurement interval determined by the air interface measurement information may be defined AS a time interval at which the terminal AS receives the information of the two adjacent QoE measurement reports from the NAS, and the terminal only needs to associate the time interval and determine the air interface measurement information associated with the time interval from the measured target air interface parameters.
Optionally, the terminal may preset a preset time limit, where the air interface measurement information is information in a time period within the time interval that is less than or equal to the preset time limit, and the terminal may choose to directly discard the air interface measurement information that exceeds the preset time limit. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target measurement interval determined by the air interface measurement information does not exceed the preset time limit value in the time interval on the basis of the time interval determined according to the two adjacent QoE measurement report information.
By adopting the method, the target measurement interval does not exceed the preset time limit value in the time interval determined by the two adjacent QoE measurement report information, the determination method of the air interface measurement information can be adapted to the condition that the QoE measurement report information is reported suddenly along with time, and the problem that the determined air interface measurement information cannot be effectively associated with the QoE measurement report information due to the overlong time interval is avoided.
Optionally, in the measurement reporting method of the embodiment of the present invention, the air interface measurement information includes values obtained by measuring the target air interface parameters at preset intervals in the target measurement interval, or includes an average value or a smooth calculated value obtained by measuring the target air interface parameters in the target measurement interval.
Specifically, the terminal AS measures a target air interface parameter by using a fixed time granularity (such AS millisecond, second, etc.), and obtains air interface measurement information in the target measurement interval; or, the terminal AS averages the measured values of the target air interface parameters in the target measurement interval, or performs smoothing calculation to obtain air interface measurement information in the target measurement interval.
In the embodiments of the present invention, compared to the prior art, the measured target air interface parameter includes at least one of the following signals:

optionally, the air interface measurement information further includes time indication information for indicating a measurement time. Specifically, the time indication information may indicate time by means of time stamping or indicating a target measurement interval. In addition, optionally, the time indication information should also be associated with the air interface measurement information for each measurement of the target air interface parameter, so as to clearly indicate the measurement time of each air interface measurement information.
In this embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the delay information includes at least one of the following:
the downlink MAC unpacking time delay based on each terminal; the specific definition is as follows: and in a measuring time period, the average time delay from the time when the terminal receives the DCI scheduling of the initial transmission physical layer to the time when the DCI scheduling is successfully decoded to obtain the MAC PDU is obtained. The parameter takes into account the average time delay of all the MAC PDUs received in a period of time and successfully decoded;
the downlink MAC unpacking time delay based on each 5QI or Quality of Service (QoS) grade Identifier (QCI); the definition of the downlink MAC unpacking delay is as described above, where the downlink MAC unpacking delay of a 5QI or QCI is based on each 5QI or QCI to respectively count the downlink MAC unpacking delay;
a downlink packet reassembly delay based on each RLC entity; the specific definition is as follows: and in a measurement event, the average time delay from the time when the terminal receives the first RLC SDU (or the RLC PDU corresponding to the RLC SDU) segment to the time when the terminal successfully recombines the RLC SDU into a complete RLC SDU. The parameter considers the average time delay of the first RLC SDU segment received in a period of time and successfully recombined into a complete RLC SDU in the period of time;
a downlink packet reassembly delay based on each Data Radio Bearer (DRB); the specific definition is as follows: average value of downlink packet reassembly delay of all RLC entities associated under the DRB for a measurement period;
downlink packet reassembly delay based on each 5QI or QCI; the specific definition is as follows: the average value or the maximum value of the downlink packet reassembly time delay of all RLC entities with the same QoS requirement in a measuring time;
a PDCP downlink packet reordering delay based on each DRB; the specific definition is as follows: and in a measuring time, all PDCP PDUs received under the DRB receive the PDCP PDUs from the PDCP layer, and the PDCP layer delivers the reordered PDCP SDUs to an upper layer. The parameter considers the average time delay of PDCP downlink packets which reach all PDCP PDUs in a period of time and successfully deliver the PDCP PDUs to an upper layer in the period of time;

It should be noted that the target air interface parameters that the terminal AS needs to measure may include, in addition to the above listed parameters, Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), and/or the like, which are not described in detail herein.
In addition, the measurement of the target air interface parameter is applicable to single-link single-carrier transmission, and is also applicable to transmission of each link under multi-link transmission, where the air interface parameter related to MAC (including downlink MAC unpacking delay, for example) and the air interface parameter related to Physical (PHY) layer (including RSRP and/or RSRQ, for example) are also applicable to statistics of each carrier under carrier aggregation transmission.
Further, it should be noted that, for different services, the air interface measurement information obtained by the terminal AS measurement is different.
That is, for different services, such as Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) services, because the requirement on delay is relatively low, when the terminal performs delay measurement, it may mainly measure the downlink packet delay based on each 5QI or QCI; for a high-reliability and Low-delay communication (URLLC) service, because the requirement for delay is very high, it is necessary for a terminal to measure the processing delay of each layer (PDCP, RLC, and MAC) in a protocol stack with finer granularity, so as to be able to accurately locate the protocol stack problem, and therefore one or more of the downlink MAC de-packet delay of each terminal, the downlink packet reassembly delay of each RLC entity, the downlink packet reassembly delay of each DRB, the downlink packet reassembly delay of each 5QI or QCI, the PDCP downlink packet reordering delay of each DRB, and the PDCP downlink packet reordering delay of each 5QI or QCI should be measured.
According to the above, the measurement reporting method according to the embodiment of the present invention adds the air interface measurement information to the QoE measurement report information, associates the air interface measurement information with the QoE measurement report information, and reports the information to the base station through an air interface message, so that the base station can definitely analyze the influence of air interface transmission on the QoE experience of the user, thereby facilitating the subsequent optimization of air interface configuration and transmission.
