ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for a wireless local area network programmable logic device is described. More particularly, a field programmable gate array (FPGA) is coupled to memory having programming instructions for configuring the FPGA with a medium access layer selected from more than one type of medium access layers. A physical layer is hardwired or embedded on the FPGA, or a separate integrated circuit for the physical layer is used. Additionally, the memory comprises programming instructions for a baseband controller, and may include programming instructions for a baseband processor, for configuring the FPGA in accordance therewith. In this manner, a single physical layer may be used with an FPGA to provide a multi-platform application specific standard product (ASSP). This is especially advantageous for providing multi-platform devices for use in countries or applications where one or more standards may be employed.
