This paper describes a novel architecture for building software wireless network interfaces. These interfaces, implemented in user-level software, run on oo-the-shelf PCs and replace all of the link and many of the physical layer functions typically implemented in dedicated hardware on a network interface card (NIC). They provide all of the processing needed to transform between wideband IF signals and network packets. Moving this functionality into user-level software has several advantages… Expand
