To enhance system performance of future heterogeneous wireless networks the
co-design of PHY, MAC, and higher layer protocols is inevitable. In this work,
we present WiSCoP - a novel embedded platform for experimentation, prototyping
and implementation of integrated cross-layer network design approaches. WiSCoP
is built on top of a Zynq hardware platform integrated with FMCOMMS1/2/4 RF
front ends. We demonstrate the flexibility of WiSCoP by using it to prototype a
fully standard compliant IEEE 802.15.4 stack with real-time performance and
cross-layer integration.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figures, to be published in the EWSN'17 Proceedings of the
