The link budget parameters that may differ depending on use in either densely populated urban areas or rural areas are area coverage rate, shadow fading margin, and penetration loss. The area coverage rate is the percentage of area within a cell that can receive a signal above a certain threshold. In densely populated urban areas, the area coverage rate may be lower than in rural areas due to more interference and obstacles 13. The shadow fading margin is an additional margin added to the link budget to account for the variation of signal strength due to obstacles in the propagation path. In densely populated urban areas, there may be more buildings and structures that cause shadow fading than in rural areas, so a larger shadow fading margin may be needed 14. The penetration loss is the loss of signal strength when it passes through walls or windows into buildings. In densely populated urban areas, there may be more indoor users than in rural areas, so a larger penetration loss may be considered 15. The antenna gain is not a parameter that depends on use in either densely populated urban areas or rural areas. It is a parameter that depends on the antenna design and configuration, which are usually fixed for a given system 16.

According to the eCPRI Specification V2, eCPRI links have the following characteristics:

• They require clock synchronization: eCPRI links use Ethernet as the transport layer, which does not provide inherent synchronization. Therefore, eCPRI links require external clock synchronization methods, such as IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) or Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE).
• They are based on the IP mechanism: eCPRI links use IP as the network layer, which provides routing and addressing functions for eCPRI messages. eCPRI links can use either IPv4 or IPv6 protocols.
• They require AAU support: eCPRI links connect between Radio Equipment Control (REC) and Radio Equipment (RE) in a base station. AAU (Active Antenna Unit) is a type of RE that integrates RF and antenna functions in one unit. Therefore, eCPRI links require AAU support to enable flexible functional split options and reduce fronthaul bandwidth requirements.

eCPRI links are not based on the TDM mechanism because they do not use fixed time slots to transmit data. Instead, they use variable-length packets to transmit data according to different service requirements.

According to the 5G mmWave Frequency Bands, the maximum bandwidth in mmWave bands as defined in 3GPP Release 16 is 400MHz, which can be achieved without any carrier aggregation method.
