Fronthul Interface (BBU <-> RRH)
• CPRI
• OBSAI
• ORI

5G Network Architecture
CPRI
• it has introduced in 2003.
• The Parties cooperating to define the CPRI Specification and are now encompassing
Ericsson, Huawei, NEC and Nokia.
• Its latest version is CPRI version 7.0 and has released in 2015.
• It specifies a digitized serial interface between a base station referred to as REC in CPRI
terminology and an RRH or RE.
• REC (on BBU side) and RE (on RRH side) exchange:
• User Data
• CPRI Control & Management data
• CPRI frame synchronization information
• The specification supports both electrical and optical interfaces as well as point-topoint, star, ring, daisy-chain topologies.

5G Network Architecture
CPRI
• An antenna-carrier (AxC): IQ data of either Rx or Tx of
one carrier at one antenna element.
• CPRI transports I/Q data of particular antenna and
particular carrier. This "unit" is called an AxC unit or
Antenna-Carrier unit.
• Example:
In LTE system, if I=16 bits and Q=16 bits
then one AxC is of length 32 bits.
CPRI
CPRI (Max Distance Can Support)
•
This distance is constrained by the timing requirement of Hybrid Automatic Retransmit reQuest (HARQ) protocol used as a
retransmission mechanism between UE and eNB in an LTE network.
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)
• IEEE in cooperation with CPRI forum has defining a new fronthaul transport standard
(under IEEE 802.1cm project)
• The requirements can be divided into three categories:
• Class 1: I/Q and Control and Management (C&M) data (The round-trip delay for I/Q
is limited to 200 µs and maximum frame error rate is 10-7)
• Synchronization
• Class 2: eCPRI which has been recently added
12/27
5G Network Architecture
Synchronization Requirements in TSN
• Class A1: Strictest class with time error budget of 12.5 ns (one way) for applications
such as MIMO and transmit diversity.
• Class A: Time error budget up to 45 ns for applications including contiguous intracell CA.
• Class B: Budgets up to 110 ns for non-contiguous intra-cell CA.
• Class C: The least strict class delivers a budget up to 1.5 µs from the primary reference
time clock40 to the end application clock recovery output.

5G Network Architecture
Solutions
• Function Splitting Options in eCPRI
• IEEE 1914.1 (NGFI)?
15/27
5G Network Architecture
eCPRI
• It uses the ethernet based messaging instead of TDM like in CPRI
• It doesn’t mandate any physical layer.
• Ethernet PHY and OTN can be valid options

5G Network Architecture
Function Splitting
•
•
•
•
various functional splits offer options for different use cases
option 1: CPRI, extremely bandwidth and latency demanding.
high order options: much lower bandwidth and latency requirements (like option 2)
Lower order options: provide joint coordination/scheduling for advanced mobility
application (for example option 7 or 8)

5G Network Architecture
IEEE 1914.1 Packet-Based Fronthaul Transport Network
• Architecture for the transport of mobile fronthaul traffic
• Analyzes different functional splits
• Purpose:
• enable critical 5G use cases such as mMIMO,CoMP,C-RAN
• simplifies network design, lowers costs by leveraging mature Ethernet-based
solution
• Fronthaul architecture: unified management & control common networking
protocol and network elements
• improves bandwidth efficiency, network scalability, sync performance and supports
cooperative radio modes.

5G Network Architecture
Single and Double Split Network Models
• NGFI I: interfacing low layers of base station processing chain
• NGFI II: interfacing mid/high layers of base station processing chain

5G Network Architecture
Backhaul
MEC
• MEC or multi-access edge computing is an emerging 5G technology.
• it enables provisioning of cloud-based network resources and services near the
users.(like processing, storage, network)
• MEC servers can be located at different locations within the radio access network
depending on technical and business requirements.
• The main functions in the MEC platform include routing, network capability exposure,
and management
• because of processing the corresponding tasks in the proximity of the users so:
• reduce network congestion
• improve application performance
MEC Architectural Aspects
• high-level functional entities in the MEC framework:
• host-level
• MEC host
• MEC platform
• applications
• virtualization infrastructure
• the corresponding MEC host-level management entity
• network-level
• 3GPP radio access networks
• the local networks
• the external networks
• system-level
• MEC hosts
• MEC management necessary to run MEC applications within an operator network
