Anritsu Corporation (President: Koichi Hamada) has successfully verified test cases for 'Uplink Data Compression (UDC)' as defined in 3GPP RAN5 Release 17, in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (Headquarters: USA, hereinafter 'Qualcomm Technologies'). The verification aims to improve efficiency of data transmission in uplink communications from mobile devices (UE: User Equipment) to 5G networks, enabling efficient implementation and evaluation of the latest UDC functionality in UEs. The verification was conducted using Anritsu's 5G NR Mobile Test Platform ME7834NR to evaluate the UDC functionality of a UE equipped with the Qualcomm® X105 5G Modem-RF System. These test cases are defined in the 3GPP technical specification TS 38.523-1 and align with key requirements in TS 38.323. Anritsu submitted these test cases to 3GPP RAN5. Development Background With the expanding use of smartphones, mobile data traffic continues to grow, increasing network loads. In particular, due to increasingly frequent data transmissions and diversified services, technologies that enable efficient data transmission while maintaining communication quality are required even in uplink communications. Traditionally, header compression technologies such as Robust Header Compression (ROHC) have been used in uplink communications to reduce overhead caused by IP headers and transport-layer headers added to communication data. In contrast, UDC introduced in 3GPP Release 17 compresses redundant data (such as duplicate data) before transmission, reducing redundancy across the entire transmitted data—not limited to headers—thereby decreasing the volume of data in uplink communications. UDC compresses data on the UE side prior to transmission, reducing the volume of data sent to the network. This is expected to enable more effective use of limited frequency resources and improve data transfer efficiency in real-world communication environments.
