sections do not discuss the delays through
the AxC blocks, because the round-trip delay calculations and the multihop
configuration delay calculations do not take the AxC blocks into account. For
purposes of these calculations, the relevant SAP is the AUX interface. For information
about the delays through the AxC blocks, refer to
“MAP Transmitter Interface” on page 4–24
Single-Hop Delay Measurement
The following sections describe the RX and TX path delays for single-hop variations
and provide examples.
Rx Path Delay
The Rx path delay is the cumulative delay from the arrival of the first bit of a 10 ms
radio frame on the CPRI Rx interface to the start of transmission of the radio frame on
the AUX interface. The following sections describe the delay for the following
variations:

Most CPRI IP Core Variations
Figure E–3
shows the Rx path delay components in all CPRI IP core variations except
those that target an Arria V GT device and are configured with the CPRI line rate of
9.8 Gbps. The figure shows the relation between the two Rx paths.
