WLAN FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Overview
The SSD50NBT WLAN block is based on the Qualcomm-Atheros AR6004 802.11a/b/g/n chipset. It is optimized
for low power embedded applications and is configured to operate in dual-band, two-stream (2x2 MIMO) mode.
Its functionality includes:
Improved throughput on the link due to frame aggregation, RIFS (reduced inter-frame spacing), and half
guard intervals.
Support for STBC (space time block codes) and LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) codes.
Improved 11n performance due to features such as 11n frame aggregation (A-MPDU and A-MSDU) and
low-overhead host-assisted buffering (RX A-MSDU and RX A-MPDU). These techniques can improve
performance and efficiency of applications involving large bulk data transfers such as file transfers or high-
resolution video streaming.
Other functionality includes the following:
