Abstract

See full text

A system and method for providing a flexible medium access control device. The medium access control (MAC) device includes four configurable transmit and receive modes for communicating with a physical layer signaling control device. The four modes are controlled by a processor and a transceiver interface. In operation, the modes enable the MAC device to transmit and receive MAC data to and from the physical layer signaling control device, and to optionally transmit and receive PHY data to and from the physical layer signaling control device, thereby providing compatibility between a MAC device and a radio, regardless of the physical layer functionality of the radio.
