Help with WLAN 802.11g physical layer (OFDM) simulation using Simulink

Hello everyone

I am currently studying the WLAN 802.11g physical layer (OFDM) in the Wireless Systems course at my technical school. I am very interested in conducting some simulations using Simulink to get a better understanding.

After I did some research about WLAN 802.11g and Simulink, I found that there is a WLAN 802.11a physical layer (OFDM) model in Simulink. The main difference between the 'a' and 'g' standard as I understood is the frequency at which they operate, 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz respectively.

My question is, is it possible to adapt the existing 802.11a model to the 802.11g considering their similarities? If so, can anyone help me in shortly explaining or hinting about what I need to change in the 'a' model.

Thanks :)

Hi Chaitanya,

I am currently doing the same kind of study in my Wireless Systems course, did you manage the problem?? Futhermore I have to add to your statement that 802.11g for lower data rates (from 1 to 6 Mbps) works with DSSS modulation scheme as the 802.11b does. How did you resolve your question??

Thank you in advandce
