Radio Over Ethernet Mapper Physical Layer Device (PHY)

摘要

A mapper PHY is disclosed that performs a protocol conversion of an input data stream that is formatted according to a first wired communication protocol to provide an output data stream that is formatted according to a second wired communication protocol. The mapper PHY can be synchronized to a common reference clock or clocking source to ensure that data streams provided by multiple mapper PHYs are sufficiently aligned to satisfy frame timing alignment accuracy requirements of a wireless communication protocol.

主权项

1. A mapper physical layer device (PHY), comprising:
a transmission module configured to perform a first protocol conversion of a serial input data stream that is formatted according to a first wired communication protocol to provide a serial output data stream that is formatted according to a second wired communication protocol; and a clocking module configured to synchronize the serial output data stream to a Time of Day (ToD) reference.
