Handover signaling for quality of experience measurements

A method of handover signaling for quality of experience (QoE) measurement, comprising:

• transmitting, by a first base station (BS) to a user equipment (UE), one or more messages comprising:
• first configuration parameters for QoE measurement and reporting, the first configuration parameters indicating geography-based QoE measurement reporting for one or more tracking areas (TAs);
• and
• second configuration parameters for radio conditions measurement and reporting;
• receiving, by the first BS from the UE, one or more radio conditions measurement reports based on the second configuration parameters;
• determining, by the first BS and based at least on the one or more radio conditions measurement reports, to handover the UE from the first BS to a second BS;
• in response to the determining, transmitting by the first BS to the second BS, a handover request message comprising one or more information elements (IEs) indicating that the UE is in a QoE reporting session;
• in response to transmitting the handover request message, receiving by the first BS from the second BS, a handover acknowledge message comprising a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message comprising third configuration parameters of a cell of the second BS;
• transmitting, by the first BS to the UE, the RRC reconfiguration message;
• and
• maintaining tracking, by at least one of the first BS or the second BS, whether the UE is inside or outside the one or more of TAs.
