Abstract
Techniques associated with link establishment in a fronthaul network are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a proxy node, a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) bit stream transmitted by a radio equipment controller, wherein the CPRI bit stream is transmitted within a transmit time interval of the radio equipment controller; and fast-sampling, by the proxy node, the CPRI bit stream to determine whether a hyper frame number synchronization with the radio equipment controller at a common matching link bit rate is achievable, wherein the fast-sampling comprises attempting to decode the received CPRI bit stream and achieve the hyper frame number synchronization for each of a plurality of link bit rates configured for a fast-sampling time period during at least one fast-sampling time interval configured for the proxy node.
