The rapid adoption of digital media products and the growing use of multimedia content in home CE (consumer electronics) environment are generating the demands for interconnecting CE devices wirelessly in a personal networking setting. While wireless USB (Universal Serial Bus) standards, based on UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) radio technologies, have been applied to address PC-based applications, the industry has yet to develop standard-based solutions for digital home wireless applications involving intelligent CE centric (non-PC) products and devices. This research project focuses on the creation and design of a real time, high performance protocol processing controller device applying wireless IP networking protocols for high speed digital home wireless multimedia applications. The research will create technologies, IP’s and a MAC (Medium Access Control) design solution that is compatible with relevant WiMedia, IGRS, and DLNA standards and interfaces. The resultant technologies and advanced design solution will support both WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Networking) stand-alone systems and embedded applications, enabling local electronic manufacturers to create new high speed wireless multimedia consumer devices and products.
