Abstract
One embodiment is directed to a device for fronthaul communication between a baseband unit (BBU) and a remote unit (RU). A processor of the device is configured to receive, using a first fronthaul interface of the device, fronthaul data originating from said first one of the BBU and the RU. The fronthaul data is formatted according to a first fronthaul protocol when received using the first fronthaul interface. The processor is further configured to format at least some of the fronthaul data received using the first fronthaul interface so as to be formatted according to a second fronthaul protocol thereby producing reformatted fronthaul data and forward, using a second fronthaul interface of the device, the reformatted fronthaul data towards said second one of the BBU and the RU.
