Open RAN Transport: eCPRI Fronthaul, Synchronization, and QoS Design

By James Relington

Open RAN Transport: eCPRI Fronthaul, Synchronization, and QoS Design explores the technical foundations and future evolution of transport architectures that power modern and next-generation mobile networks. Focusing on the convergence of Ethernet, optical, and time-sensitive networking, the book examines how eCPRI-based fronthaul, precise synchronization, and advanced QoS mechanisms enable deterministic performance in disaggregated Open RAN environments. Through an in-depth analysis of timing distribution, resiliency, orchestration, and energy efficiency, it provides a comprehensive view of how transport design supports the shift from 5G to 6G. Bridging engineering precision with operational intelligence, this work offers a detailed roadmap for building high-performance, scalable, and sustainable RAN transport infrastructures.
