Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a quality of experience (QoE) configuration message that includes an access stratum identifier, wherein the access stratum identifier is a shortened version of an application-level identifier associated with one or more QoE configurations. The UE may obtain application layer QoE measurements. The UE may transmit, to the base station, a QoE report that includes the application layer QoE measurements, wherein the QoE report includes the access stratum identifier to indicate that the QoE report is associated with the application-level identifier or the one or more QoE configurations. Numerous other aspects are described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive, from a base station, a quality of experience (QoE) configuration message that includes an access stratum identifier, wherein the access stratum identifier is a shortened version of an application-level identifier associated with one or more QoE configurations;
obtain application layer QoE measurements; and
transmit, to the base station, a QoE report that includes the application layer QoE measurements, wherein the QoE report includes the access stratum identifier to indicate that QoE report is associated with the application-level identifier or the one or more QoE configurations.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive, at an access stratum layer, the application layer QoE measurements and information that indicates the application-level identifier; and determine the shortened version of the application-level identifier used as the access stratum identifier based at least in part on one or more derivation rules.

3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive, at an access stratum layer, the application layer QoE measurements and information indicating the shortened version of the application-level identifier.

4 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
store, at an access stratum layer, information associating an application with the access stratum identifier included in the QoE measurement configuration; and receive the application layer QoE measurements from the application, wherein the QoE report includes the access stratum identifier based at least in part on the information associating the application with the access stratum identifier.

5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the access stratum identifier identifies the one or more QoE configurations in an access stratum layer.

6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the access stratum identifier includes a set of leftmost bits or a set of rightmost bits in the application-level identifier.

7 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the application-level identifier includes a mobile country code (MCC), a mobile network code (MNC), and a QoE measurement collection (QMC) identifier, and wherein the access stratum identifier includes only the QMC identifier or only the MNC and the QMC identifier.

8 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
decode the application-level identifier based at least in part on the access stratum identifier included in the QoE configuration message; store a mapping between the access stratum identifier and one or more of the application-level identifier or the one or more QoE configurations based at least in part on the decoding; and include the access stratum identifier in the QoE report according to the mapping based at least in part on an application layer indicating that the application layer QoE measurements are associated with the application-level identifier, the shortened version of the application-level identifier, or the one or more QoE configurations.

9 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the access stratum identifier is unique within a scope of one or more of a radio access network (RAN), a cell of the RAN, or the UE.

10 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the application-level identifier and the access stratum identifier have a one-to-one mapping or an N-to-one mapping.

11 . A base station for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a quality of experience (QoE) configuration message that includes an access stratum identifier, wherein the access stratum identifier is a shortened version of an application-level identifier associated with one or more QoE configurations;
receive, from the UE, a QoE report that includes application layer QoE measurements, wherein the QoE report includes the access stratum identifier to indicate that the QoE report is associated with the application-level identifier or the one or more QoE configurations; and
forward the application layer QoE measurements to an operations, administration, and management (OAM) server based at least in part on the application-level identifier associated with the access stratum identifier included in the QoE report.

12 . The base station of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive, from the OAM server, the application-level identifier; and determine the shortened version of the application-level identifier used as the access stratum identifier based at least in part on one or more derivation rules.

13 . The base station of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive, from the OAM server, the application-level identifier and information indicating the shortened version of the application-level identifier.

14 . The base station of claim 11 , wherein the access stratum identifier identifies the one or more QoE configurations in an access stratum layer.

15 . The base station of claim 11 , wherein the access stratum identifier includes a set of leftmost bits or a set of rightmost bits in the application-level identifier.

16 . The base station of claim 11 , wherein the application-level identifier includes a mobile country code (MCC), a mobile network code (MNC), and a QoE measurement collection (QMC) identifier, and wherein the access stratum identifier includes only the QMC identifier or only the MNC and the QMC identifier.

17 . The base station of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
determine the application-level identifier associated with the QoE report based at least in part on the access stratum identifier included in the QoE report; and determine the OAM server to which to forward the application layer QoE measurements based at least in part on the application-level identifier associated with the QoE report.

18 . The base station of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
store information associating the access stratum identifier with the OAM server; and determine the OAM server to which to forward the application layer QoE measurements based at least in part on the QoE report including the access stratum identifier associated with the OAM server.

19 . The base station of claim 11 , wherein the access stratum identifier is unique within a scope of one or more of a radio access network (RAN), a cell of the RAN, or the UE.

20 . The base station of claim 11 , wherein the application-level identifier and the access stratum identifier have a one-to-one mapping or an N-to-one mapping.

21 . A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
