Implementation of IrLAP Based on IrDA

Infrared wireless communication plays an important role in wireless communication as its unique characteristic. The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) is a nonprofit international organization whose goal is to develop adopted specifications especially suited for low cost, short range, cross-platform, and point-to-point infrared wireless communications at a wide range of speeds. These standards have been implemented on various computer platforms and more recently have become available for many embedded applications. In this paper, we present the framework of IrDA stack first, and then describe the operating framework of IR Link Access Protocol (IrLAP), including the frame standard and the running process. Finally discuss the software design method based-on this framework.
