Abstract

This paper presents the analysis and the implementation of the asynchronous communication portion of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. We have used PRISM2 chipsets from INTERSIL to build baseband, IF, and RF parts and PCI controller from PLX to interface LLC Layer. We have implemented DCF(Distributed Coordination Function) service using CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Acoidance) with backoff algorithm and RTS/CTS protocol. Also, we have implemented TSF(Timing Synchronization Function) which can be used for power management frequency hop synchronization, and other management function. This study can be used as a reference for the MAC protocol implementation and MAC controller design in very high speed wireless LAN which complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard.
