How is it possible to create so many wireless clients from a single RF port?
VeriWave utilizes custom-built FPGA and DSP based hardware to concurrently run fully stateful 802.11 MAC state machines for each client. A flow scheduler enables the combination of various traffic types, including Constant Bit Rate voice/video traffic and Best Effort data traffic onto each client. Every client independently updates its state based on channel conditions and backoff timers, and, utilizing a separate client scheduler, determines the timing of transmit or receive activity for each client on the shared channel. This offers optimum channel utilization while still creating behaviors typical to any shared medium, such as hidden-node collisions.
