- Open Radio Access Network an industry alliance, has adopted a lower layer functional split between O-RAN Radio Unit (O-RU) and the O-RAN Distributed Unit (O-DU), known as 7-2X. See, for example, O-RAN Fronthaul Control, User and Synchronization Plane Specification 7.0 - July 2021 (O-RAN.WG4.CUS.0-v07.00).
- Various split strategies, including 7-2 and 7-3 may be applicable to uplink (UL) communication.
- FIG. 1 illustrates two split architecture cases.
- the channel estimation block is in the distributed unit (DU) side.
- the channel estimation block is in the radio unit (RU) side.
- These split strategies can be used for the uplink case in an O-RAN radio access network (RAN).
- RAN radio access network
- An open interface for the 7-2 architecture split point may enable one vendor to manufacture the RU while another vendor manufactures the DU.
- uplink receive beamforming is performed in the RU, while receive channel estimation and other receive processing is performed in the DU.
- the beamformed in-phase and quadrature (I&Q) output samples flow over the fronthaul from the RU to the DU for the usual receiver processing.
- the O-DU can include IQ decompression, channel estimation, digital Rx beamforming and equalization, and decoding.
- the O-RU on the other hand, can include analog beamforming and IQ compression.
- Compression is provided as one way in which an original form or original version of a signal may be transformed into a different form or different version of the signal.
- the different form or version may be a linearly transformed and/or mapped version or form.
- Other processing to generate a form or version is also permitted.
- the 7-3 architecture split assumes the receive beamforming, receive channel estimation, and further receiver processing are all in the RU, and that I&Q data for the equalized layers is sent down the fronthaul to the DU for decoding.
- the O-RU can include not only analog beamforming and IQ compression, as in the 7-2 split, but also channel estimation and digital beamforming and equalization.
- FIG. 1 illustrates data flow in an uplink direction, with uplink signals for a device, such as next generation Node B (gNB) or the like, coming from a remote device over the air and incident on one or more antenna or antenna array, not shown.
