OFDM Reference Design - MAC/PHY Performance Characterization

This application characterizes the performance of the OFDM Reference Design and a user-supplied MAC implementation. This application utilizes multiple WARP nodes along with external PCs to orchestrate the experiments.

In this application, the WARP nodes have no MAC or IP addresses. Both nodes run the same program.

The following diagrams represent two possible topological configurations for the setup of this application:

Requirements

• 1 PCs (2 Preferred) with Ethernet interfaces
• 2 WARP SISO or MIMO kits
• TCL language compiler ​http://www.activestate.com/activetcl/
• Router

Setup

1. Connect each WARP node directly to the Ethernet interface of the router
2. Configure the PC Ethernet interfaces with IP address on the same subnet (10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2, for example)
3. Connect each PC directly to the Ethernet interface of the router
