Abstract

Handling of higher bit-rate in the communication processing field can be achieved by the use of specialized VLSI circuits, called communication circuits. The authors present an architecture synthesis to systematically implement MAC-level protocols from protocol behavioral descriptions. The synthesis system is based on a flexible architectural model that performs two separate tasks: the analysis of the frame structure and the processing of data associated to its different fields. A case study is presented
