5G / LTE Base Stations
OverviewDesigning 5G / LTE Base StationsDistributed Unit (DU) 5G demands much higher capacity (number of connections and bandwidth per connection) – as well as enhanced functionality like coordinated multi-point (CoMP) to fulfill the technology’s promises. Therefore, engineers building DUs face many conflicting constraints to provide orders of magnitude higher capacity at a fraction of the power and cost on a per bit basis. Central Unit (CU) In a 5G network, the CU enables consolidation of upper layer protocols and management across multiple DUs. Envisioned to be implemented in a datacenter type format, the CU enables cost-effective implementation of very high capacity networks.
