Abstract
A Common Public Radio Interface, CPRI, lane controller of a processor, in a Time Division Duplex, TDD, system, said CPRI lane controller comprising: a Direct Memory Access (or more than one), DMA, controller connected to a memory through a switch fabric to perform read or/and write memory access transactions via an internal system bus of said processor, wherein said DMA controller is adapted to generate a RX/TX transaction interrupt(s) for each completed memory access RX/TX transaction counted by a corresponding transaction counter(s) which provides a TDD slot awareness interrupt(s) when a RX/TX TDD slot has terminated, wherein said DMA controller has a steering control(s) adapted to steer the memory access transactions either to said memory or to be legitimately blocked by said switch fabric in response to said TDD slot awareness interrupt(s) to save bandwidth, BW, of the internal system bus of said processor.
