Rapid prototyping of a wireless LAN implementation using a UML-based system design methodology
The purpose of this paper is to present a rapid prototyping flow for the development of a wireless LAN system. The proposed system flow that was used for the development of the prototype is based on the use of UML (Unified Modeling Language). The UML and its realtime extensions are used to help the development phases of the prototype, mainly in the specification, co-simulation and validation of the design. The target of the development that was carried out with the application of the UML-based methodology is the implementation of an access point for a HIPERLAN/2 wireless network. Apart from the presentation of the UML-based system design methodology the paper also presents the application of the methodology for the implementation of the system prototype, the detailed software development and the results of the development.
