Customization

Ittiam provides customization services for the development of additional features on baseline IPs to suit different customer requirements.

PHY customizations

Introduction

Ittiam provides customization services for the development of additional PHY features including proprietary modulations and waveforms to suit different customer requirements.

Customization Examples

• Low bit rate (1 / 2 Mbps) Wireless Device
  • WLAN PHY supporting only 1 and 2 Mbps
• 802.11g Wireless LAN on a Software Defined Radio (SDR) Platform
  • Partitioning of PHY between FPGA and DSP processors
• OFDM Low Data Rate, High Range
  • WLAN PHY with a custom OFDM modulation for 1 Mbps and below for high delay spread, high Doppler applications
• Alternate PN Sequences / Multiple Chip Rates
  • WLAN PHY with a custom DSSS modulation for 1 Mbps and below for high range applications
• Software PHY on custom processor architecture
  • WLAN PHY partitioning on an asymmetric multi-core processor architecture

MAC customizations

Introduction

Ittiam provides customization services for the development of additional MAC features including proprietary access schemes and protocols to suit different customer requirements.

Customization Examples

• Low bit rate (1 / 2 Mbps) Software MAC
  • Fully Software implementation of WLAN MAC supporting 1 and 2 Mbps PHY rates
• WLAN MAC Integration with Hardware TCP / IP
  • Integration of WLAN MAC IP with a fully hardware TCP / IP Chip
• Proprietary power save protocol
  • Custom power save protocol to reduce power significantly over the IEEE standard defined power save mechanisms in WLAN systems
• TDMA access mechanism instead of CSMA / CA
  • Channel access scheme changed to TDMA to enable deterministic delays in custom WLAN network
