  • 5BACKWARD COMPATIBLE METHODS FOR SIGNALING ENERGY-SAVING SLEEP MODES OVER O-RAN FRONTHAUL INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20240129096
    Abstract: A control plane signaling method for reducing energy consumption of O-RAN radio units used in O-RAN CUS and including an O-DU controlling an O-RU via control-plane messaging where a sleep period is extended using a 16-bit binary number that is formed by two reserved octets in Section Type 0, or via an inactivity timer is used to trigger transitions between different sleep states and active states, or via and a bitmap is formed by a reserved octet in Section Type 0 and is used to signal the O-RU to directly transition to different sleep modes.

  • ENABLING 2G AND 3G CELLULAR RADIO COMMUNICATIONS OVER A PACKET-BASED OPEN RADIO ACCESS NETWORK FRONTHAUL INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20240098551
    Abstract: There is provided an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) that includes a fronthaul interface over which an O-RAN Distributed Unit (O-DU) and an O-RAN Radio Unit (O-RU) communicate with one another and exchange O-RAN standard defined user-plane (U-plane) packets and control-place (C-Plane) packets. The fronthaul interface carries control and management information via management-plane (M-Plane) message exchange, and timing synchronization is achieved in accordance with synchronization-plane (S-Plane) procedures, and the O-RAN accommodates communications via 2G and 3G based mobile networks.
