e. WLAN 802.11 g PHY IP Core

802.11g PHY IP Core is a synthesizable HDL implementation of IEEE Standard 802.11g 2003 Edition in VHDL. The IEEE 802.11g specification specifies the Physical Layer Entity for a further higher data rate extension in the 2.4 GHz ISM band which builds on the 802.11b standard and uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system similar to 802.11a standard to achieve higher data rates.

f. WLAN 802.11 a/b/g MAC IPCore

The 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN MAC is designed and developed in ANSI-C and RTOS. Its modular design makes it easier to port onto other hardware platforms. As a result of SeaSolve's continuous testing and development methodology, throughout the development life cycle the MAC is exceptionally robust. The operation guarantees the interoperability with other 802.11 products and it is easy to configure for other 802.11 standards with minimum modification. The WLAN MAC is a fully portable high performance solution and it supports extensive management functions to ensure its operation.

g. WLAN 802.11 b PHY IP Core

SeaSolve's 802.11b PHY Layer is a HDL Implementation and it reduces development time and is easy to integrate with other layers. The IP supports DBPSK,DQPSK and CCK modulation schemes to provide data rates of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps. The IP functionality is fully verified with SeaSolve's Wireless LAN Validation Platform (WiLANTA), which provides an environment for IEEE 802.11b baseband validation

h. WLAN 802.11 a PHY IP Core

SeaSolve's 802.11a PHY Layer is a HDL Implementation and is a synthesizable core, designed to support all mandatory and optional features as per IEEE 802.11a standard specifications.This programmable core supports rates like 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48 & 54 Mbits/s.

i. Viterbi Encoder-Decoder

Viterbi decoding or convolutional decoding is a type of forward error correction algorithm. SeaSolve's High-perfornamce, low power Viterbi decoder VHDL IP is highly parameterizable and supports the parameters such as number of coded bits, traceback length, constraint length, number of soft decision bits, precision of branch metric accumulation, polynomial of each coded bits and puncturing rates. Viterbi decoders are usually implemented on XXXX. It provides a maximum throughput of more than XXX Mbits/s and consumes the least number of logic elements. It supports error correction for both continuous and burst errors. Versatile test bench is included with the viterbi decoder which lets the user to insert noise at any desired point.

j. REED-SOLOMON IP Core

RS codes are block codes especially used for forward error correction purposes. Reed-Solomon (RS) decoders are key components in digital communication systems such as Storage devices, Disk Drives, Digital video Camera, Wireless broadband systems, Wireless modems, Satellite communication and Broadcast equipments.

k. AES IP Core

SeaSolve’s high performance Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) IP core implements Rijndael encryption and decryption algorithm and satisfies Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 197 from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
