3.8. O-RAN IP U-Plane Packet Size
When you select 9000 for the Maximum Ethernet frame size, U-plane packet size in bytes for the data packet (tx_u_size) input signal is available.
When you turn on U-Plane Fragmentation, the IP updates this field.
When you turn off U-Plane Fragmentation, logic must provide the correct value to the IP (compressed packet size in bytes if Enable companding is on). You can calculate tx_u_size using this equation:
tx_u_size = Common Header + Section 1 Header + Section 1 IQ Data + Section 2 Header + Section 2 IQ Data + … + Section N Header + Section N IQ Data
where each of the field value are:
Field | Bytes |
---|---|
Common Header | 4 |
Section Header (Static Mode) | 4 |
Section Header (Dynamic Mode) | 6 |
Section IQ Data (udCompMeth 0) | (2*12*udIqWidth/8)*numPrbu |
Section IQ Data (udCompMeth 1 or 3) | ((2*12*udIqWidth/8)+1)*numPrbu |
Example 1
Single Section, Static Mode, Section 1 (numPrbu 1,udCompMeth 0, udIqWidth 12) tx_u_size = Common Header + Section 1 Header + Section 1 IQ Data tx_u_size = 4 + 4 + ((2*12*udIqWidth/8)*numPrbu) tx_u_size = 4 + 4 + ((2*12*12/8)*1) tx_u_size = 44 Bytes
Example 2
Single Section, Dynamic Mode, Section 1 (numPrbu 2, udCompMeth 1, udIqWidth 14) tx_u_size = Common Header + Section 1 Header + Section 1 IQ Data tx_u_size = 4 + 6 + (((2*12*udIqWidth/8)+1)*numPrbu) tx_u_size = 4 + 6 + (((2*12*14/8)+1)*2) tx_u_size = 96 Bytes
Example 3
Two Sections, Dynamic Mode, Section 1 (numPrbu 3, udCompMeth 1, udIqWidth 8), Section 2 (numPrbu 5, udCompMeth 0, udIqWidth 10) tx_u_size = Common Header + Section 1 Header + Section 1 IQ Data + Section 2 Header + Section 2 IQ Data tx_u_size = 4 + 6 + (((2*12*udIqWidth/8)+1)*numPrbu) + 6 + ((2*12*udIqWidth/8)*numPrbu) tx_u_size = 4 + 6 + (((2*12*8/8)+1)*3) + 6 + ((2*12*10/8)*5) tx_u_size = 241 Bytes
