The purpose of this thesis is to study the IEEE 802.11p wireless protocol and implement the demapper component both in hardware and in software. The complete system composed of a transmitter, an awgn channel and a receiver is first implemented with a Matlab Model. Some of the components are modeled with built-in Matlab blocks and functions and some are modeled using Matlab scripts developed in this thesis. This distinction is done in order for some components to also be able to be translated into VHDL language and mapped into hardware. Specifically the component that is implemented in hardware is a demapper that supports four types of modulation with their specific code rates according to 802.11p standard. The device that is used for hardware implementation is a ML507 evaluation board equipped with a Virtex 5 fpga.
