Wireless Networking
PC - Radio Interface
SUMMARY
In a nut shell, the PC RADIO INTERFACE is a four layer
model briefed below.
-
Application Layer - Any application
-
Transport Layer - Error Control and Flow Control using
Go-Back-N protocol and Sliding Window protocol with minor changes, respectively.
-
MAC Layer - Responsible for establishing, maintaining
and terminating connections using MACA protocol.
-
Physical Layer - Wireless communication using Radio.
The basic set of communication primitives such
as Connect, Cancel, Send, Receive, etc. will be provided as a set of library
functions compatible to C/C++. The user can develop applications using
this library.
