Abstract
Provided is a method for transmitting and receiving message through a message transfer technology that uses a fronthaul interface between a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU) configuring a 5G base station. The method includes generating a downlink message to be transmitted to one or more DUs associated with the CU, transmitting the downlink message to the one or more DUs through a fronthaul interface, and receiving an uplink message from the one or more DUs through the fronthaul interface.
Claims18
A method of transmitting and receiving a message by a central unit (CU) of a base station, the method comprising:
- generating a downlink (DL) message to be transmitted to one or more distributed units (DUs) associated with the CU;
- transmitting the DL message to the one or more DUs through a fronthaul interface;
- and
- receiving an uplink (UL) message from the one or more DUs through the fronthaul interface.
A central unit (CU) of a base station that transmits and receives a message, the CU comprising:
- a controller configured to generate a downlink (DL) message to be transmitted to one or more distributed units (DUs) associated with the CU;
- a transmitter configured to transmit the DL message to the one or more DUs through a fronthaul interface;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive an uplink (UL) message from the one or more DUs through the fronthaul interface.
