CRC-16 Computation in IEEE 802.11b

I would like to understand the CRC compuation in the Header field of IEEE 802.11b PHY. I read in the literature, CRC-16 is used and the 1's compliment of the reminder of the (e SIGNAL, SERVICE, and LENGTH by Generator Polynomial)

But I want to understand, given a bit stream, how this computation is done.

I am trying to understand, how to implement in Hardware using Shift register开发者_JS百科s or in Matlab.

Any suggestions or useful pointers in this direction would be helpful.

Thanks,

Kiran

Xilinx has an app note and source code for the CRC in IEEE 802.3.
