We are looking for Fixed 802.16D WiMAX MAC development professionals. You should have experience in developing Base Station MAC and Subscriber station MAC and experience in getting it field tested. You should have extensive knowledge and experience in developing and testing WiMAX MAC with WiMAX baseband radio.
We have a WiMAX BB ready and we will need you to make our existing MAC lab and field ready.
We will furnish a development platform containing the Virtex 5 SX50 ( or SX95) FPGA, an Xscale PXA270 processor, and the baseband radio. There is a JTAG connection for the FPGA. The processor contains a full Linux OS and has drivers for loading the FPGA bitmap file, and communicating between the FPGA and Xscale over the external memory bus. There are APIs contained in the Xscale for operating the radio including frequency tuning T/R switching, gain control, etc and there is also an Ethernet connection that will permit transferring in new bitmap files, Xscale code, etc.
We will provide full documentation of this system including operating details to you under an NDA.
We will supply whatever other documentation and assistance required to accomplish the task of implementing our WiMAX core onto this platform. We will require acceptance testing of the WiMAX core. The acceptance test will involve demonstration of network connectivity with an infrastructure. This project will be executed in Bangalore. We require bids from Bangalore only.
The amount of $35,000 bid for the project is for subscriber station only. The BTS MAC software is more sophisticated. The bid for WiMAX BTS MAC will be $100,000.
