Requesting qoe measurement report size

A network apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the processor configured to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit, to a communication device, a first message requesting a size of stored Quality of Experience (“QoE”) measurement reports in a radio resource control (“RRC”) buffer of the communication device;
• receive, from the communication device, a second message comprising the size of the stored QoE measurement reports;
• determine, using the second message, a configuration to enable resumption of QoE measurement reporting at the communication device;
• transmit, to the communication device, a third message comprising the configuration to enable resumption of QoE measurement reporting;
• and
• receive, from the communication device, at least one fourth message comprising at least one QoE measurement report.

A method in a communication network, the method comprising:

• transmitting a first message from a communication network to a communication device to request a size of stored Quality of Experience (“QoE”) measurement reports in a radio resource control (“RRC”) buffer of the communication device;
• receiving, from the communication device, a second message comprising the size of the stored QoE measurement reports;
• determining, using the second message, a configuration to enable resumption of QoE measurement reporting at the communication device;
• transmitting, to the communication device, a third message comprising the configuration to enable resumption of QoE measurement reporting;
• and
• receiving, from the communication device, at least one fourth message comprising at least one QoE measurement report.
