Restricted ue assistance for minimization of drive test and quality of experience measurement alignment

A method for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• transmitting a first control message comprising a quality of experience measurement configuration that indicates one or more quality of experience measurement references for a user equipment (UE) to perform and one or more indicator flags requesting a start indication and an end indication associated with a measurement session for the one or more quality of experience measurement references;
• receiving the start indication associated with the measurement session for the one or more quality of experience measurement references based at least in part on an indicator flag of the one or more indicator flags being set for the measurement session;
• transmitting, based at least in part on the start indication, a second control message comprising a minimization of drive test measurement configuration that indicates one or more minimization of drive test measurements for the UE to perform in addition to the one or more quality of experience measurement references;
• and
• receiving the end indication associated with the measurement session and a measurement report comprising the one or more quality of experience measurement references and the one or more minimization of drive test measurements.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive a first control message comprising a quality of experience measurement configuration that indicates one or more quality of experience measurement references for the UE to perform and one or more indicator flags requesting a start indication and an end indication associated with a measurement session for the one or more quality of experience measurement references;
• transmit the start indication associated with the measurement session for the one or more quality of experience measurement references based at least in part on an indicator flag of the one or more indicator flags being set for the measurement session;
• receive, based at least in part on the start indication, a second control message comprising a minimization of drive test measurement configuration that indicates one or more minimization of drive test measurements for the UE to perform in addition to the one or more quality of experience measurement references;
• and
• transmit the end indication associated with the measurement session based at least in part on performing measurements for the one or more quality of experience measurement references and the one or more minimization of drive test measurements.
