High-Level Behavioral SDL Model for the IEEE 802.15.3 MAC Protocol

  • Conference paper

Abstract

In this paper, we present our behavioral SDL model for the IEEE 802.15.3 MAC protocol. The model was derived using an object-oriented approach based on the client/server paradigm and is divided into data path and control path subsystems. Within the model, there are different abstraction layers, each layer providing a well-defined set of services to the higher layers. This modular design approach facilitated teamwork and led to a model, which is understandable, easy to extend, adapt, and test. Thus, our SDL model can serve as a basis for the following steps in the design flow, which is also presented briefly.
