"Wi-Fi Direct" on USRP

[Shazlan]

Hi guys,

I would like to see your opinion in using NI USRP-2943R as a research tool and prototype for Wi-Fi Direct communication. We have checked the general specs and it looks like that it can be used to program for Wi-Fi Direct. However, we are not sure whether it can be properly implemented on the software level, due to the various layers... and whether the on-board FPGA can and will add significant advantage or not.

have anybody done anything similar? Hope to hear back some feedbacks soon. Many thanks.

Hi,

You might be interested in this link which describes the NI LTE and 802.11 framework designed to work with NI USRP-294x/5x devices.

This framework is designed in the Labview Communications Design Suite software and geared towards research in the wireless domain.
