A High Throughput MAC Layer for 600Mbps IEEE802.11n Wireless LAN

摘要：

This correspondence presents a fast and systematic architecture for realizing an efficient 4-stream IEEE802.11n based hardware/software co-design Medium Access Control( MAC) Layer, which can achieve near theoretical MAC throughput for burst data transmission while complying with a strict channel access time requirements. As a design result, the proposed MAC system architecture can achieve 462Mbps for which 77％ efficiency of maximum 4-stream Physical Layer(PHY) transmission rate 600Mbps is obtained. This result is verified with both SystemVerilog software simulation and hardware prototyping on a Xilinx FPGA board. Furthermore, a SoC architecture for one-chip implementation with MIPS/ARM/Power PC CPUs is also shown. In this SoC, IEEE802.11e as well as 11i functions are also included.
