Implementation IEEE802.11p Transmitter on Programmable Hardware

Dhirendra Kumar Tripathi

Abstract


IEEE 802.11p is an approved amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard to add wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE). It defines enhancements to 802.11 required to support Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications. This includes data exchange between high-speed vehicles and between the vehicles and the roadside infrastructure in the licensed ITS band of 5.9 GHz (5.85-5.925 GHz). IEEE 1609 is a higher layer standard on which IEEE 802.11p is based. The present paper gives a framework of making a simulation model for the physical layer of the IEEE802.11p transmitter. This paper presents a fixed point synthesizable model of Physical layer. The system is first evaluated in the Matlab Simulink environment to conform to IEEE standard. Using the Xilinx ISE software flow the system is synthesized in the Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA. The performance of the system in term of throughput and hardware resources is presented.

Keywords
