    MAC and baseband processors for RF-MIMO WLAN
    (London : BioMed Central, 2011) Stamenkovic, Zoran; Tittelbach-Helmrich, Klaus; Krstic, Milos; Ibanez, Jesus; Elvira, Victor; Santamaria, Ignacio
    The article describes hardware solutions for the IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) layer and IEEE 802.11a digital baseband in an RF-MIMO WLAN transceiver that performs the signal combining in the analogue domain. Architecture and implementation details of the MAC processor including a hardware accelerator and a 16-bit MAC-physical layer (PHY) interface are presented. The proposed hardware solution is tested and verified using a PHY link emulator. Architecture, design, implementation, and test of a reconfigurable digital baseband processor are described too. Description includes the baseband algorithms (the main blocks being MIMO channel estimation and Tx-Rx analogue beamforming), their FPGA-based implementation, baseband printed-circuit-board, and real-time tests.
