Abstract
IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs have a tremendous market potential, as they support high data rates, work in the world-wide licence free 2.4 GHz ISM band and have high performance in terms of range and power consumption. Hence, the development of a communication processor that supports the IEEE 802.11 MAC functions has a significant potential, making very important the concept of having an ASIC ‘right from the first time’, in order to minimize development cost and to meet short time-to-market requirements. This paper presents the methodology of developing such a component with emphasis on the rapid prototyping approach. The chip architecture, which is based on an ARM processor core, is described in detail, focusing on the implementation of the protocol functions using custom hardware modules. Finally, the paper presents experimental results on the ASIC implementation.
