RivieraWaves 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) 4x4 MAC & modem

Features

• 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) MAC:
• The RW-AC MAC core implements the(Wi-Fi 5 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) standard with data rates of up to 1.7Gbps for 4x4 with 4 spatial streams configuration. It also supports the 802.11e standard (QoS) and the 802.11i standard (Security) extensions.
• RivieraWaves' profound expertise in wireless communications resulted in the highly optimized MAC core with special focus on low memory and MIPS requirements while maintaining a small gate count. The MAC core interfaces to the ARM standard AMBA bus.
• 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) Modem:
• The RW-AC 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) 4x4 software defined modem is optimized for use with the RW-AC MAC IP to form a high performance and cost effective 802.11ac solution. The turnkey architecture is based on a CEVA-XC powerfull DSP, complemented by minimum hardware accelerators and driven by an optimized firmware to fulfill the PHY functions. The supported features are:
• Modulation Coding Schemes (MCS) from 0 to 9
• 20MHz, 40MHz and 80MHz bandwidths
• Support all antenna configurations from 2x2 to 4x4
• Full implementation of OFDM processing up to the radio interface:
• Scrambling
• FEC coding, Viterbi encoding/decoding
• Interleaving
• FFT
• Timing, phase and frequency synchronization
• Channel estimation & compensation
• Reference digital front end with filtering, radio controller and software defined AGC/CCA state machine for highest flexibility
