Advanced IEEE802.15.4 full stack based on SDR

General Description:

IEEE 802.15.4 standard has been widely used in both massive IOT (e.g., zigbee) and critical IOT applicaitons (e.g., WirelessHART). In this work, IEEE 802.15.4 compliant SDR transceiver is introduced, where flexible Medium Access Control (MAC) and Programmable Physical (PHY) layers are implemented in Time-Annotated Instruction Set Computer (TAISC) and FPGA, respectively. The transceiver provide flexible data rate feature, meaning that it can be operated in standard compliant mode (i.e., 250kbps) and non-standard mode (i.e., flexible data rate).
