3.9. O-RAN IP Minimum Number of PRB Support

The size of the PRB depends on whether the IP uses compression and the IQ_Width specified by the upCompHdr. The IP supports IQ_Width 1 to 5 for modulation compression and 8 to 15 for block floating point compression.

The IP needs 3 clock cycles to calculate the PRB size and imposes minimum size of PRB data > 3 x DATA_WIDTH, which is 24 bytes for 64-bit interface (10G/25G) and 48 bytes for 128-bit interface (50G).

Table 39.  Minimum Number of PRB supportThe table shows IQ_Width 6 and 7 only for reference. The IP only supports single section in the U-plane packet when numPRBu = 0
