US 2023/0155860 A1 · CONFIGURING FRONTHAUL LINK

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method of a first radio equipment device (10) of configuring a fronthaul communication link (30) established with a second radio equipment device (20), and a first radio equipment device (10) performing the method. In an aspect, a method of a first radio equipment device (10) of configuring a fronthaul communication link (30) established with a second radio equipment device(20) is provided. The method comprises configuring (S101a) the first radio equipment device (10) to receive data over the fronthaul communication link (30) at a selected bitrate with a selected communication protocol type, detecting (S103) if bitrate of, and communication protocol type used for, data received over the fronthaul communication link (30) match the selected bitrate and the selected communication protocol type for which the first radio equipment device (10) is configured to receive data, wherein at least one of the selected bitrate and the selected communication protocol type for which the first radio equipment device (10) is configured (S101b-S101e) to receive data is adjusted (S101b-S101e) until a match is detected, and selecting (S105) the bitrate and communication protocol type for which there is a match as the bitrate and communication protocol type with which data is communicated over the fronthaul communication link (30).

Dependent claims

A method of a first radio equipment device of configuring a fronthaul communication link established with a second radio equipment device, comprising:

configuring the first radio equipment device to receive data over the fronthaul communication link at a selected bitrate with a selected communication protocol type;
detecting if bitrate of, and communication protocol type used for, data received over the fronthaul communication link match the selected bitrate and the selected communication protocol type for which the first radio equipment device is configured to receive data, wherein at least one of the selected bitrate and the selected communication protocol type for which the first radio equipment device is configured to receive data is adjusted until a match is detected;
and
selecting the bitrate and communication protocol type for which there is a match as the bitrate and communication protocol type with which data is communicated over the fronthaul communication link.

A first radio equipment device configured to cause configuring of a fronthaul communication link established with a second radio equipment device, the first radio equipment device comprising a processing unit and a memory, said memory containing instructions executable by said processing unit, whereby the first radio equipment device is operative to:

configure the first radio equipment device to receive data over the fronthaul communication link at a selected bitrate with a selected communication protocol type;
detect if bitrate of, and communication protocol type used for, data received over the fronthaul communication link match the selected bitrate and the selected communication protocol type for which the first radio equipment device is configured to receive data, wherein at least one of the selected bitrate and the selected communication protocol type for which the first radio equipment device is configured to receive data is adjusted until a match is detected;
and
select the bitrate and communication protocol type for which there is a match as the bitrate and communication protocol type with which data is communicated over the fronthaul communication link.
