Abstract
A radio access network (RAN): a core network (CN) or operations, administration, and management (0AM) node; and a user equipment (UE) can implement a method for managing Quality of Experience (QoE) reporting from the UE. The method includes: receiving, by processing hardware and from a UE, a request to reestablish a radio connection; retrieving, by the processing hardware, a configuration for the QoE reporting; and performing at least one of: (i) facilitating, by the processing hardware and after the retrieving, reporting of QoE measurements for the UE to the QoE node, or (ii) releasing the configuration.
Claims22
A method for managing quality of experience (QoE) reporting for a user equipment (UE) that reported QoE measurements to a QoE node via a source node of a radio access network (RAN), the method being implemented in a target node of the RAN and comprising:
- receiving, from a UE, a request to reestablish a RAN connection after a RAN connection failure;
- retrieving a configuration for the QoE measurements;
- and
- performing at least one of:
- (i) reporting post-failure QoE measurements from the UE to the QoE node according to the configuration, or (ii) releasing the configuration.
A method for managing quality of experience (QoE) reporting for a user equipment (UE) to a QoE node, the method being implemented in a source node in a radio access network (RAN) and comprising:
- receiving a configuration for QoE measurements;
- receiving a post-failure request for a context for the UE from a target node of the RAN;
- and
- in response to the receiving the post-failure request, transmitting the configuration for QoE reporting to the target node.

(canceled)
An apparatus, operating as a source node of a radio access network (RAN) and configured to manage quality of experience (QoE) reporting for a user equipment (UE) that reported QoE measurements to a QoE node via a source node of a radio access network (RAN), the apparatus comprising:
- processing hardware configured to:
- receive, from a UE, a request to reestablish a RAN connection after a RAN connection failure;
- retrieve a configuration for the QoE measurements;
- and
- perform at least one of:
- (i) reporting post-failure QoE measurements from the UE to the QoE node according to the configuration, or (ii) releasing the configuration.
The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the processing hardware is further configured to:
- determine that the QoE reporting is suspended;
- determine, after retrieving the configuration, to resume the QoE reporting;
- and
- transmit a command to the UE to resume the QoE reporting.
