TCI
focuses on an architectural implementation methodology for wireless
protocols. We
use the functionality
specified for the Intercom Board, as
our driver application (see previous research by Jan Rabaey). This methodology has to be broad enough to be used in
future designs, such as PicoNode3.
The
Intercom is composed of a Protocol Stack and a Physical Layer, which are
designed in different environments due to their differences in nature. In
the architectural exploration phase, we are using VCC
for the former and Simulink
for the latter.
This phase of the project is now complete.
