AUX Interface

The CPRI v6.0 IP core auxiliary (AUX) interface provides direct access to the CPRI 10 ms radio frame,

including I/Q data and control words. You can use this interface to support your specific application. For

example, the AUX interface allows you to implement custom I/Q sample widths and custom mapping

schemes.
The AUX interface also enables multi-hop routing applications and provides timing reference informa‐

tion for transmitted and received frames. Using this interface, you can load I/Q data in a precise location

in the precise CPRI basic frame you target.
The AUX interface allows you to connect CPRI v6.0 IP core instances and other system components

together by supporting a direct connection to a user-defined routing layer or custom mapping block. You

implement this routing layer, which is not defined in the CPRI V6.0 Specification, outside the CPRI v6.0

IP core. The AUX interface supports the transmission and reception of I/Q data and timing information

between an RE slave and an RE master, allowing you to define a custom routing layer that enables daisy-

chain configurations of RE master and slave ports. Your custom routing layer determines the I/Q sample

data to pass on to other REs to support multi-hop network configurations and custom mapping

algorithms.
If you turn on Enable auxiliary interface in the CPRI v6.0 parameter editor, your IP core includes this

interface.
