IEEE 1914.1-2019

This standard specifies the following: Architecture for the transport of mobile fronthaul traffic over packet-based networks (e.g., Ethernet), including user data traffic, and management and control plane traffic; Requirements and definitions for the fronthaul networks, including data rates, timing and synchronization, and quality of service (QoS). The standard also analyzes functional partitioning schemes between remote radio units (RRUs) and baseband units (BBUs) that improve fronthaul link efficiency and interoperability among transport equipment, and that facilitate the realization of cooperative radio functions, such as massive multiple input
