Test Steps Expected Result

Place the UE in the center of
1
LTE test cell.
UE accesses the LTE cell successfully.
Power on UE and initiate The signal flow of attach is same with
2
attach operation. the signal flow which shown in the
expected result.

Start uplink full-buffer FTP The uplink FTP service is normal.

3
service on UE.
Detach UE and modify the
parameter “Switch for Uplink
4 Data Compression (UDC) “to
Close [0], repeat the test step
1~3.
Record the uplink throughput.
The uplink FTP service is normal.
Record the uplink throughput and the
throughput is less than the UDC function
is enabled.

1. LTE system supports UDC function and the attach flow is

shown in the figure below.

Expected
Result

2. The uplink throughput when the UDC function is enabled is

larger than the UDC function is disabled, if the uplink service
have high data repetition frequency, such as web browsing, FTP
uploading and social network Service
1. The UE that supported UDC function can access the eNodeB
that supported UDC function.
Acceptance 2. The uplink service is normal when the UDC function is
Criteria enabled. The uplink throughput when the UDC function is
enabled is larger than the UDC function is disabled, if the uplink
service has high data repetition frequency.
Test Result Pass

6.1.3 Test Result

1. The eNB sends the ELS-SIB1 message to UE, which indicates the UDC capability of eNodeB in the Padding area in SIB1 message, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 6-2 SIB1 Message Indicates the UDC Capability of eNodeB

2. UE will send ELS UeIndication message or ELS UeCapabilityInformation message to eNodeB according to the configuration in ELS-SIB1, which indicates that UE
is supported UDC function. When UE sends ELS UeIndication message or ELS UeCapabilityInformation message to eNodeB is determined by the parameter
“UDC Capable UE Send ELS-UEInd or ELS-UECap Message Occasion “configured on eNodeB. Whether UE sends ELS UeIndication message or ELS
UeCapabilityInformation message firstly is determined by the parameter “Is UDC Capable UE Send the ELS-UECap Message Occasion” configured on eNodeB.
If the parameter is configured to “Yes”, the UE should send ELS UeCapabilityInformation message.

As shown in the figure below, UE sends the ELS UeCapabilityInformation message after the RRC Connection Setup message according to the parameter
configuration.

Figure 6-3 UE Sends the ELS UeCapabilityInformation Message after the RRC Connection Setup Message

If the parameter “Is UDC Capable UE Send the ELS-UECap Message Occasion” is configured to “No”, the UE will send the ELS UeIndication message firstly, as
shown in the figure below.

Figure 6-4 UE Sends the ELS UeIndication Message

After UE sent the ELS UeIndication message, eNodeB will require UE to send the ELS UECapabilityInformation message, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 6-5 UE Sends the ELS UECapabilityInformation Message to Report the UDC Capability

3. After eNodeB received the ELS UECapabilityInformation message, eNodeB sends the ELS-RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to UE as shown in the
figure below, which carried the UDC configuration.

Figure 6-6 eNodeB Sends the ELS-RRC Connection Reconfiguration Message to UE

4. Then UE sends the ELS-RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message to eNodeB, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 6-7 UE Sends the ELS-RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete Message

5. The data is compressed in the PDCP layer of UE side. Whether the uplink data is compressed can be shown in the 0xB0B3 LTE PDCP UL Cipher Data PDU
log, as shown in the figure below. If the value of “compressed pdu” is “Yes”, it indicates the uplink data is compressed.

6. The Qualcomm UE will print the average compressor gain, and the compressor gain is depended on the service type. The UDP service has the highest
compressor gain which is about 90%. The compressor gain of FTP service is less than UDP service. The compressor gain of FTP service is shown in the figure
below.

Figure 6-9 Compressor Gain

7. The uplink FTP throughput is 81.6Mbps on UE side in the 20MHz bandwidth when the UDC function is enabled, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 6-10 The Uplink FTP Throughput is 81.6Mbps in the 20MHz Bandwidth when the UDC Function is Enabled

8. The uplink FTP throughput is 53.4Mbps on PDN side in the 20MHz bandwidth when the UDC function is disabled, as shown in the figure below.

Figure 6-11 The Uplink FTP Throughput is 53.4Mbps in the 20MHz Bandwidth when the UDC Function is Disabled

Above all, the UDC function can improve the uplink throughput for the service with high data repetition frequency.
