Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2004. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 95-96). === The Raw microprocessor is a tiled architecture processor designed by the Computer Architecture Group at MIT. Raw was designed in part to be extremely good at performing streaming-type algorithms such as those found in wireless communications processing. This thesis describes the design and implementation of an interface between the Raw microprocessor and a modified 802.11a/b/g wireless access point. Combined with the Raw processor, this interface replaces a custom digital chip in the access point. The interface can be used with the Raw microprocessor to perform communications research, and as a system demonstrating Raw's capabilities. The interface has been built, tested, and functionally qualified. === by Benjamin Philip Eugene Zaks Walker. === M.Eng.
