CPRI Compression Feature Parameter Description 3 Overview
3 Overview
The Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) protocol was established by the CPRI
Cooperation. CPRI applies to the interface between a baseband unit (BBU) and a
remote radio unit (RRU) or active antenna unit (AAU) in a macro base station,
between a BBU and an RRU HUB (RHUB) in a LampSite base station, or between
an RHUB and a pico remote radio unit (pRRU) in a LampSite base station. After
the CPRI ports are connected, a path between them is established to transmit
control-plane and user-plane data. User-plane data is in-phase/quadrature (I/Q)
data and consumes a large number of CPRI bandwidth resources in each cell.
Macro gNodeBs require far more CPRI bandwidth resources than GSM, UMTS, or
LTE base stations due to their usage of massive MIMO and high bandwidth. An
RRU/AAU may require multiple pairs of optical modules and fibers.
A number of factors influence the consumption of CPRI bandwidth resources,
including the I/Q data sampling rate, the data bit width, and the number of
antennas. By introducing CPRI Compression, more support is available to the
carriers or RRUs/AAUs/RHUBs/pRRUs on a CPRI port. This feature compresses the
I/Q data bit width and lowers the sampling rate to reduce the CPRI bandwidth
resources consumed by the user-plane data, reducing the overall quantity and
expenses of optical modules and fibers.
In CPRI, the compression ratio refers to the ratio of consumed bandwidth
resources when compression is disabled and enabled. Different CPRI compression
ratios are supported to accommodate various scenarios.

4.1 Principles
4.1.1 CPRI Compression Process

Figure 4-1 shows the CPRI compression process.
Figure 4-1 CPRI compression process
● In the downlink
– A BBU uses the CPRI compression algorithm to compress downlink I/Q
data (user-plane data between a BBU and an RRU/AAU). The BBU
transforms the data into CPRI frames and transmits these frames to the
RRU/AAU through a downlink optical fiber or an Ethernet cable.
– When the RRU/AAU receives these frames, the RRU/AAU transforms
them into compressed I/Q data, decompresses the data, and then
transmits the decompressed I/Q data to the downlink IF/RF module. IF is
short for intermediate frequency and RF is short for radio frequency.
● In the uplink
– An RRU/AAU uses the CPRI compression algorithm to compress uplink
I/Q data from the IF/RF module, transforms the data into CPRI frames,
and transmits these frames to a BBU through an uplink optical fiber or an
Ethernet cable.

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
– When the BBU receives these frames, it performs CPRI deframing and
decompression.
NOTE
CPRI compression (macro) applies only to scenarios where a CPRI interface is used between
a BBU and an AAU/RRU. It does not apply to the CPRI interface using the eCPRI protocol.
For details about the CPRI interface using the eCPRI protocol, see eCPRI.
4.1.2 CPRI Compression Ratio Selection

CPRI compression provides different compression ratios, which are specified by
NRDUCellTrp.CpriCompression:
● If this parameter is set to NO_COMPRESSION, CPRI compression is not
performed on the cell carrier. The 1T1R I/Q data bandwidth is listed in the No
CPRI Compression column in Table 4-1.
● If this parameter is set to 1DOT5_COMPRESSION, 1.5:1 CPRI compression is
performed on the cell carrier. The 1T1R I/Q data bandwidth is listed in the
1.5:1 CPRI Compression column in Table 4-1.
● If this parameter is set to 2_COMPRESSION, 2:1 CPRI compression is
performed on the cell carrier. The 1T1R I/Q data bandwidth is listed in the 2:1

Note 1: In this table, "N/A" indicates that the 1T1R I/Q data bandwidth with a compression ratio
is not applicable for a certain bandwidth.
Note 2: The preceding cell bandwidths are standard bandwidths. If an NR FDD cell uses a
compact bandwidth, the 1T1R I/Q data bandwidth required when CPRI compression is enabled is
the same as that required by the corresponding standard bandwidth. For details about NR FDD
compact bandwidths, see Scalable Bandwidth.

Note 1: For cells of the same type configured on one UBBPfw or high-frequency cells configured
on one UBBPg, the CPRI compression ratio must be the same.
Note 2: When a cell with a downlink bandwidth of 20 MHz is set up in the n66 frequency band,
the gNodeB automatically selects an appropriate uplink compression ratio based on the uplink
bandwidth and downlink compression ratio (specified by the NRDUCellTrp MO):
● If the uplink bandwidth is 10 MHz and 2:1 CPRI compression is configured in the downlink,
1.5:1 CPRI compression will be automatically selected for the uplink.
● If the uplink bandwidth is 20 MHz and 2:1 CPRI compression is configured in the downlink, 2:1
CPRI compression will be automatically selected for the uplink.
● If no compression is configured in the downlink, no compression will be automatically selected
for the uplink, irrespective of whether the uplink bandwidth is 10 MHz or 20 MHz.
Note 3: In the current version, only the AAU5726 and AAU5726e support 2.2:1 compression.

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
NOTE
The compression ratio supported by an RF module can be queried in Table 4-2 based on its
TX/RX mode and the cell bandwidth configuration. For example:
The TX/RX mode of the RRU5901 working in NR FDD mode is 4T4R. For a 15 MHz NR FDD
cell, the supported compression ratio in Table 4-2 is 2:1 CPRI Compression or No CPRI
Compression.
The TX/RX mode of the RRU5258 working in NR TDD mode is 8T8R. For a 40 MHz cell
working in low frequency bands in NR TDD mode, the supported compression ratio in Table
4-2 is 2:1 CPRI Compression or 3.2:1 CPRI Compression.
The system calculates and compares the following bandwidths before determining
whether to enable CPRI compression:
● 4.1.2.1 CPRI Payload Bandwidth over a CPRI Port
● 4.1.2.2 I/Q Data Bandwidth Required When CPRI Compression Is Disabled
● 4.1.2.3 I/Q Data Bandwidth Required When CPRI Compression Is Enabled
● 4.1.2.4 CPRI Compression Ratio Determination
4.1.2.1 CPRI Payload Bandwidth over a CPRI Port

CPRI payload bandwidth is used to transmit user-plane data over a CPRI port. It is
calculated using the following formula: CPRI payload bandwidth over a CPRI port
= CPRI bandwidth x (1 – Control data overhead) x Coding efficiency.
Specifically,
● CPRI bandwidth
The CPRI bandwidth equals the negotiated CPRI line rate. Huawei supports
the following CPRI line rates defined in section 4.2.1 "Line Bit Rate" of CPRI
Specification V7.0: 2.4576 Gbit/s, 4.9152 Gbit/s, 6.144 Gbit/s, 9.8304 Gbit/s,
10.1376 Gbit/s, 24.33024 Gbit/s, and 4x24.33024 Gbit/s.
● Control data overhead
CPRI specifications define a part of a given bandwidth for control-plane
transmission. The proportion of control-plane data varies with the CPRI
bandwidth. For details, see section 4.2.7 "Frame Structure" of CPRI
Specification V7.0.
● Coding efficiency
Coding efficiency refers to the forward error correction (FEC) coding efficiency
at the physical layer. As defined in section 4.2.1 "Line Bit Rate" of CPRI
Specification V7.0, the coding efficiency can be 8B/10B or 64B/66B.
If the CPRI bandwidth is 2.4576 Gbit/s, then: CPRI payload bandwidth = 2.4576 x
(1 – 1/16) x 8/10 = 1.8432 Gbit/s. Table 4-3 lists the control data overhead, coding
efficiency, and calculated CPRI payload bandwidth corresponding to different CPRI
bandwidths.

NOTE
24.33024 Gbit/s is a CPRI line rate defined in CPRI specifications. If a 25 Gbit/s SFP optical
module is used, the CPRI port supports a maximum of 24.33024 Gbit/s bandwidth. If a 100
Gbit/s QSFP optical module is used, the CPRI port supports a maximum of 4 x 24.33024
Gbit/s.
4.1.2.2 I/Q Data Bandwidth Required When CPRI Compression Is Disabled

The I/Q data bandwidth required between a BBU and an RRU or AAU when CPRI
compression is disabled is calculated using the following formula:
I/Q data bandwidth required when CPRI compression is disabled = Number of

antennas in cell 1 x 1T1R I/Q data bandwidth + Number of antennas in cell 2 x
1T1R I/Q data bandwidth + ... + Number of antennas in cell m x 1T1R I/Q data
bandwidth
Specifically,
● The number of antennas is determined by the onsite antenna configuration

for a cell. If the numbers of TX and RX antennas are different, the larger value
is used. For example, the number of antennas is 4 for a 4T4R cell as well as a
2T4R cell.
● The 1T1R I/Q data bandwidth depends on the cell bandwidth. It is listed in
the No CPRI Compression column of Table 4-1.
● m indicates the total number of cells served by a single CPRI link.
4.1.2.3 I/Q Data Bandwidth Required When CPRI Compression Is Enabled

compression is enabled is calculated using the following formula:

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
I/Q data bandwidth required when CPRI compression is enabled = Number of

bandwidth
Specifically,
for a cell. If the numbers of TX and RX antennas are different, the larger value
is used. For example, the number of antennas is 4 for a 4T4R cell as well as a
2T4R cell.

The 1T1R I/Q data bandwidth decreases after CPRI compression is enabled, and
likewise, the required I/Q data bandwidth also decreases.
4.1.2.4 CPRI Compression Ratio Determination

The CPRI compression ratio supported by a cell is determined based on cell
configurations in Table 4-2. Then, an appropriate CPRI compression ratio is
selected according to the procedure shown in Figure 4-2.

4.2.1 Benefits
When CPRI bandwidth is insufficient, CPRI compression is applied to provide the
following benefits (using 3.2:1 CPRI compression of an RRU as an example):
● Increases the RRU carrier specifications, as shown in Figure 4-3.

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
Figure 4-3 Increased RRU carrier specifications
● Reduces the number of CPRI optical fibers and subsequent costs, as shown in
Figure 4-4.

4.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
CPRI compression impacts network performance in the following ways:
● In the uplink, the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) decreases
slightly when interference is strong.

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
● In the downlink, CPRI compression has minimal impact on the error vector
magnitude (EVM) of the base station. Similarly, it has little impact on the
SINR.

5.1 Principles
5.1.1 CPRI Compression Process

The LampSite solution consists of the LampSite Pro, LampSite Sharing, and
LampSite Grid solutions. These solutions involve both the main and branch chains
and adopt a three-level architecture, specifically the BBU, RHUB, and pRRU. Figure
5-1 shows the CPRI compression processes, which are the same across all the
solutions.
Figure 5-1 CPRI compression processes for the LampSite Pro, LampSite Sharing,
and LampSite Grid
● In the downlink
– Main chain: A BBU uses the CPRI compression algorithm to compress
downlink I/Q data. The BBU then transforms the data into CPRI frames
and transmits these frames to an RHUB through a downlink optical fiber.
– Branch chain: An RHUB compresses the received CPRI frames and then
sends them to a pRRU over a downlink Ethernet cable or optical fiber.
When the pRRU receives the CPRI frames, it then performs CPRI
deframing and decompression, and then transmits the decompressed I/Q
data to the IF/RF module.

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
● In the uplink
– Branch chain: A pRRU uses the CPRI compression algorithm to compress
the I/Q data received from the IF/RF module, transforms the data into
CPRI frames, and transmits these frames to an RHUB through an uplink
Ethernet cable or optical fiber.
– Main chain: An RHUB compresses the received CPRI frames and then
sends them to a BBU over an uplink optical fiber. When the BBU receives
the CPRI frames, it then performs CPRI deframing and decompression.

Note 1: In the table, "Support" or "No support" indicates that both the main and branch chains
support CPRI compression or neither of them supports CPRI compression.
Note 2: For cells of the same type configured on one UBBPfw, the CPRI compression ratio must be
the same.
NOTE
The compression ratio supported by an RF module can be queried in Table 5-3 based on its
TX/RX mode and the cell bandwidth configuration.
The system calculates and compares the following bandwidths before determining
the CPRI compression ratio for main and branch chains:
● 5.1.2.1 CPRI Payload Bandwidth over a CPRI Port
● 5.1.2.2 I/Q Data Bandwidth Required When CPRI Compression Is Disabled
● 5.1.2.3 I/Q Data Bandwidth Required When CPRI Compression Is Enabled
● 5.1.2.4 CPRI Compression Ratio Selection
5.1.2.1 CPRI Payload Bandwidth over a CPRI Port

CPRI payload bandwidth is used to transmit user-plane data over a CPRI port. It is
calculated using the following formula: CPRI payload bandwidth over a CPRI port
= CPRI bandwidth x (1 – Control data overhead) x Coding efficiency.
Specifically,
● CPRI bandwidth (main chain)
The CPRI bandwidth equals the negotiated CPRI line rate. Huawei supports
Specification V7.0: 4.9152 Gbit/s, 9.8304 Gbit/s, 10.1376 Gbit/s, and 24.33024
Gbit/s.
● CPRI bandwidth (branch chain)
The CPRI bandwidth equals the configured CPRI line rate. Huawei supports
Specification V7.0: 1.2288 Gbit/s, 3.072 Gbit/s, 10.1376 Gbit/s, and 24.33024
Gbit/s.

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
● Control data overhead

CPRI specifications define a part of a given bandwidth for control-plane
transmission, the proportion of control-plane data varies with the bandwidth.
For details, see section 4.2.7 "Frame Structure" of CPRI Specification V7.0.
● Coding efficiency
The coding efficiency refers to the FEC coding efficiency at the physical layer.
As defined in section 4.2.1 "Line Bit Rate" of CPRI Specification V7.0, the
coding efficiency can be 8B/10B or 64B/66B.
If the CPRI bandwidth of the branch chain is 1.2288 Gbit/s, then: CPRI payload
bandwidth = 1.2288 x (1 – 1/16) x 8/10 = 0.9216 Gbit/s. Table 5-4 lists the control
data overhead, coding efficiency, and calculated CPRI payload bandwidth
corresponding to different CPRI bandwidths.

bandwidth corresponding to different CPRI bandwidths

(25G for short)
5.1.2.2 I/Q Data Bandwidth Required When CPRI Compression Is Disabled

compression is disabled is calculated using the following formula:
I/Q data bandwidth required when CPRI compression is disabled = Number of

bandwidth
Specifically,

for a cell. For example, the number of antennas is 4 for a 4T4R cell.
the No CPRI Compression column of Table 5-1.

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
5.1.2.3 I/Q Data Bandwidth Required When CPRI Compression Is Enabled

The I/Q data bandwidth required between a BBU and an RHUB or between an
RHUB and a pRRU when CPRI compression is enabled is calculated using the
following formula:
I/Q data bandwidth required when CPRI compression is enabled = Number of

bandwidth
Specifically,

for a cell. For example, the number of antennas is 4 for a 4T4R cell.
the 1.5:1 CPRI Compression, 2:1 CPRI Compression, or 3.2:1 CPRI
Compression column of Table 5-1 and Table 5-2.
5.1.2.4 CPRI Compression Ratio Selection

Figure 5-2 shows the CPRI compression ratio selection procedure for the main and
branch chains of an NR TDD base station, and the compression ratios of the main
and branch chains must be the same.

For NR FDD main and branch chains, the compression ratio supported by a cell
can be queried in Table 5-3 based on the cell bandwidth. The compression ratios
used by main and branch chains may be different and can be selected according
to the procedures in Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4.

5.2 Network Analysis
5.2.1 Benefits
When the CPRI bandwidth is insufficient, CPRI compression is applied to provide
the following benefits (using 3.2:1 CPRI compression as an example):
● Increases the pRRU carrier specifications, as shown in Figure 5-5.

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
Figure 5-5 Increased pRRU carrier specifications
● Reduces the number of CPRI optical fibers/Ethernet cables and costs, as

shown in Figure 5-6.
Figure 5-6 Reduced number of CPRI optical fibers/Ethernet cables
5.2.2 Impacts
Network Impacts
CPRI compression impacts network performance in the following ways:
● In the uplink, the SINR decreases slightly when interference is strong.
● In the downlink, there is little impact on the EVM of the base station and on
the SINR.
When pRRU59xx series RF modules are used, and 3:1/4:1 CPRI compression is used
over branch chains:
● In a 20 MHz NR FDD cell, the number of uplink/downlink RBs is reduced from
106 (as defined in 3GPP specifications) to 100, with three RBs punctured at
each end.

(2021-12-30)
5G RAN
● In a 20 MHz NR FDD cell, some UEs that support the n1 frequency band but
do not support punctured RBs may fail to access the cell after RB puncturing.
When pRRU39xx series RF modules are used:
52 (as defined in 3GPP specifications) to 50, with one RB punctured at each
end.
79 (as defined in 3GPP specifications) to 75, with two RBs punctured at each
end.
106 (as defined in 3GPP specifications) to 100, with three RBs punctured at
each end.
● In a 10 MHz/15 MHz/20 MHz NR FDD cell, some UEs that support the n1
frequency band but do not support punctured RBs may fail to access the cell
after RB puncturing.
