This paper sets out the case for a common, modular architecture for 5G NR FR1 small cell distributed radio units. It provides a comprehensive overview of the components and interfaces that comprise a 5G NR FR1 small cell distributed radio unit within the context of a reference design. SCF argues that underpinning such a design should be the capacity to deliver flexibility and scalability and the ability to swop out regionally specific RF front-end modules.
