The enhanced Common Public Radio Interface (eCPRI) Altera® FPGA IP core implements the eCPRI specification version 2.0. It is a front-haul interface protocol for radio base stations aimed at connecting the eCPRI Radio Equipment Control (eREC) and the eCPRI Radio Equipment (eRE) via front-haul transport network.
eCPRI Altera® FPGA IP
Overview
Key Features
