Open RAN : Latest Trends in Wireless Infrastructure
This talk will cover the motivation for ORAN, the technical and commercial challenges as well as opportunities for innovation. With a focus on the Radio Unit along with the interface/partitioning with Distributed Unit, this talk will cover the architectural trends in RF Front-ends, Transceivers (Direct RF Sampling vs. ZIF), DFE implementation and high speed interfaces. Scalability and re-use of the chips/”chiplets” across Macro, Massive MIMO and Small Cell will be explored.
