Application, services, and network slice based measurements for minimization of drive test reporting

A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) interface, a first measurement configuration for performing one or more quality of experience measurements at the UE, the first measurement configuration being different from an application- or service-specific measurement configuration;
• detecting a start of an application or a service at the UE, wherein the start of the application or the service is a triggering event for initiating the one or more quality of experience measurements at the UE;
• performing the one or more quality of experience measurements at the UE in accordance with the first measurement configuration;
• and
• transmitting the one or more quality of experience measurements in a measurement report to a serving base station.

An apparatus for wireless communications comprising, comprising:

• a processor,
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, from an operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) interface, a measurement configuration for performing minimization of drive test measurements to include in a minimization of drive test report and quality of experience measurements to include in a quality of experience report;
• identify, from the measurement configuration, one or more triggering events which, upon occurrence, trigger the minimization of drive test measurements;
• detect a start of an application or a service at a user equipment (UE), wherein the start of the application or the service is one of the one or more triggering events;
• transmit, to a serving base station, an indication that the one or more triggering events has occurred;
• obtain the minimization of drive test measurements based at least in part on the start of the application or service being one of the one or more triggering events;
• and
• transmit, to a server, the minimization of drive test report and a quality of experience report that includes the minimization of drive test measurements and the quality of experience measurements.
