Mismatch IQ width and Compression Method between U and C eCPRI packets

I noticed a mismatch in the IQ width and compression method between the U and C eCPRI packets. While I configured the 9-bit block floating point compression in cuphycontroller_*.yaml, the C-Plane packet still indicated 16-bit no-compression.



I tried to configure my RU, but it still follows C-Plane compression instructions.

How can I change the compression config on C-Plane packets? Change in source code or configuration are both fine for me.

Thank you very much.

Hi @vantuan_ngo ,

Aerial code currently supports static data format (please see attached for the related section of the ORAN_FH specification) . It is expected that the O-RU should not use udCompHdr fields in the C-plane messages.

Thank you.

Yes, I see. It is the problem of RU implementation. But, can we fix it from DU side. It is not possible for me to update RU firmware now.

Hi @vantuan_ngo,

This is currently what we support on the DU side. Please let us know if you need help with any other issue.

Thank you.

Hi,

To work around my RU, I uncommented these lines of code to make cuBB send C-Plane msg according to the configuration.

Thank you very much for supporting.

Hi @vantuan_ngo ,

It is correct that un-commenting these lines can be a work-around for your current setup.

Please note that we had commented out these lines to be compliant with the O-RAN specification.

Thank you.
