2.3.1. O-RAN Compression and Decompression

The compression and decompression IP supports both block floating point and Mu-Law compression methods.

Internally, the design collects the 12 resource elements in a resource block and determines the maximum magnitude. It then performs block floating-point shifting and Mu-Law compression or decompression.
