6.0 eCPRI
6.1 eCPRI Testing Overview
The Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) forum introduced a new more stringent Ethernet packet based fronthaul interface,
eCPRI
, due to limitations for 5G deployments based on traditional CPRI or OBSAI.
To ensure that 5G network's strict requirements are met in the fronthaul, the eCPRI Transport Network requirement document
establishes classes of service for data and C&M traffic. With full line rate eCPRI traffic generation capabilities and high accuracy
one-way latency measurements, the eCPRI test application provides the tools necessary to ensure that the eCPRI transport network
is ready for 5G deployments.
CPRI Mobile Fronthaul Evolution
This protocol has been developed by Ericsson AB, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd, NEC Corporation, Alcatel Lucent and Nokia
Siemens. The standard is public and can be downloaded from
