6.1 Requirements

REQ-EUSPC-FUN-1: The IRPManager shall have a capability to request collection of QoE information per end user service/end user service type for a specified area.

REQ-EUSPC-FUN-2: The IRPManager shall have a capability to request the collection of QoE information to be stopped before the time for the NRS has expired.

REQ-EUSPC-FUN-3: The IRPAgent shall have a capability to notify the IRPManager when a collection of QoE information has been stopped before the time for the NRS has expired.

6.2 Actor roles

Please see respective use case.

6.3 Telecommunication resources

Please see respective use case.

Use case stage

Evolution/Specification

<<Uses>>

Goal

To start collecting QoE information for an end user service type in a specified area.

Actors and roles

IRPManager: Request the start of collection of QoE information.

Telecom resources

The RNC and the UE

Assumptions

There are UEs that has the capability to provide the requested information in the specified area.

Pre-conditions

None.

Begins when

The IRPManager requests that a NRS shall be started.

Step 1(M)

An IRPAgent receives the request and forwards it to the appropriate RNC(s).

Step 2 (M)

The RNC starts a NRS for the specified area and start checking for UEs that supports QoE information collection.

Step 3 (M)

For UEs that support QoE information collection, the RNC starts a UERS and forwards the request of collection QoE information to the UE. See ref. 3GPP TSĀ 25.331 [4].

Step 4 (M)

When the requested end user service is started in the UE, it starts a RECS and records the requested information.

Step 5 (M)

The UE reports the recorded information to a collection centre via the RNC as long as the end user service session is active during the time for the NRS.

Step 6 (M)

When the end user service session ends the UE stops the RECS and reports the collected data to a collection centre via the RNC.

Ends when

When the time for the NRS elapses or when the IRPManager sends a request for de-activation.

Exceptions

Post-conditions

None.

Traceability

REQ-EUSPC-FUN-1.

NOTE: Steps 4, 5 and 6 are repeated in a NRS for every time a session that starts the requested end user service in the UE.

NOTE: A similar use case is valid for LTE.

6.4.2 De-activate collection measurement job in UTRAN

Table 6.4.2-1: De-activate collection measurement job

Use case stage

Evolution/Specification

<<Uses>>
Related use

Goal

To stop collecting more QoE information for an NRS before the time for the NRS has expired.

Actors and roles

IRPManager: Request to stop the collection of QoE information.

Telecom resources

The RAN node, HSS and the UE

Assumptions

None.

Pre-conditions

A NRS is started.

Begins when

The IRPManager requests that a NRS shall be stopped.

Step 1 (M)

An IRPAgent receives the request and forwards it to the RNC or the HSS.

Step 2 (O)

The HSS transfers the request to the RNC via the SGSN.

Step 3 (M)

The RNC node stops the NRS and informs the UE to not start new RECS.

Step 4 (O)

The RNC node informs HSS, via SGSN, that the NRS is stopped.

Step 5 (O)

The HSS stops the NRS.

Ends when

When the IRP Manager receives the notification that the NRS is stopped.

Exceptions

None.

Post-conditions

None.

Traceability

REQ-EUSPC-FUN-3 and REQ-EUSPC-FUN-4.

NOTE: A similar use case is valid for LTE.
