WARP V3 using the two RF interfaces for transmission and reception

Hi,

Regarding the 802.11 reference design in WARP V3, what are the requirements to change the current design which uses only one radio interface (RF A) for transmission and reception of the WiFi Signal to split the operation across the two radio interfaces i.e. use (RF A) for transmission and (RF B) for reception?

Regards,

Re: WARP V3 using the two RF interfaces for transmission and reception

You can configure the Tx and Rx antenna modes independently with wlan_exp - refer to the wlan_exp docs for details.

One constraint to keep in mind - the reference code always transmits response packets (CTS, ACK) on the same interface where the incoming packet was received (i.e. same interface for Rx of DATA and Tx of ACK). You would need to modify the C code for the DCF in CPU Low to change this behavior.
