In this master degree thesis, an implementation and integration of the IEEE 802.11p protocol in two different models of PC Engines boards is investigated. The focus is put on the physical and MAC layers. PC Engines is a Swiss producer that makes and sells embedded boards, typically based on AMD x86 processors. These boards are specifically targeted to networking applications and always include at least one mini PCI or mini PCIe slot to accommodate a proper WNIC (Wireless Network Interface Controller), providing a quite customizable architecture, as already investigated in literature. Systems like the one which is investigated in this work actually represent an important part of the ITS applications, which are becoming more and more of interest both in the industrial and academic world.
