Abstract
A wireless communication device can include a processor to operate multiple virtual network interfaces that communicate simultaneously over a common wireless physical interface with different wireless networks. A first virtual network interface can be an infrastructure virtual interface to communicate over a first infrastructure network, and a second virtual network interfaces can be an ad-hoc interface to communicate over a second ad-hoc network. Another virtual network interfaces can be a Station (STA) infrastructure interface to communicate with an Access Point (AP) over a first infrastructure wireless network, and another virtual network interface can be a AP infrastructure interface to communicate with a STA over a second infrastructure wireless network. Another virtual network interface can be a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) interface to allow the AP infrastructure interface to communicate with another Access Point.
