The LogiCORE™ CPRI IP core is a high-performance IP solution that implements the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI). The IP core uses state-of-the-art RocketIO™ GTP/GTX transceivers to implement the CPRI Physical Layer and provides a compact and customizable Data Link Layer implemented in the FPGA fabric. The CPRI core is ideal for connectivity between Radio Equipment Controllers (REC) or baseband/channel cards and one or more Radio Equipment units (radio cards). It provides an optimized implementation supporting radio I/Q data, radio unit management, and synchronization in a single efficient protocol.
