SmartDV’s RoE Verification IP is a comprehensive solution for verifying Radio over Ethernet, the IEEE standard defining encapsulation and mapping of radio protocols for transport over Ethernet frames and IP packets in fronthaul transport networks. Fully compliant with IEEE 1914.3-2023 and backward compatible with IEEE 1914.3-2018, it supports complete verification of RoE TX BFM, RX BFM, and Monitor components across up to 256 RoE mappers and de-mappers, all seven defined RoE subtypes covering structure-agnostic, structure-aware CPRI, control, slow C&M CPRI, native time domain, native frequency domain, and native PRACH data, I/Q data sample mapping, control and management data transfer, and Ethernet speeds from 10G to 400G.
SmartDV’s RoE VIP supports UVM, SystemVerilog, and Verilog, and integrates seamlessly into diverse verification environments. It is simulator-independent and compatible with all leading EDA simulators, providing flexibility across simulation platforms.
With comprehensive error injection across all Ethernet physical and protocol layers, scrambler error insertion, glitch insertion, pause frame generation and detection, bus-accurate timing, built-in functional coverage, and a complete test suite, SmartDV’s RoE VIP enables verification teams to thoroughly validate Radio over Ethernet fronthaul interface designs for 4G/5G mobile radio fronthaul, Open RAN, distributed antenna systems, and any Ethernet-based packetized fronthaul transport network.
