[Make-wifi-fast] make-wifi-fast 3 proposal help?

[Bob McMahon]

I'm interested in group designing an open API or equivalent over a high
speed serial/digital interface to drive a remote Wi-Fi lower MAC, digital
PHY, analog PHY, CMOS radio(s) and front end modules. The upper MAC would
reside in the fronthaul concentrator and be remote, supporting up to 48 MAC
lowers. Hopefully scale to maybe to higher.  Basically, Wi-Fi goes point to
point into the fronthaul concentrator, i.e. following the evolution of
ethernet switching but without the CAT 5 for the final leash.

The L2TPv3 w/pseudowires used for eCRPI are an analogy. So is DAA of cable
plant OSP.

Assume the seriali interface speed is  a minimum of 10Gb/s but will go to
100Gb/s and then likely to 800b/s.  All at very low power and guiding the
photons to/from their destinations with last meter wireless.

WiFi control and 802.11 packets would be carried over this interface.

Can't be a NIC/sun workstation model on these remote radio heads requiring
expensive CPUs and way too much power. This will also isolate WiFi radios
from  the SoCs and the internal switches, typically found in  todays' APs,
which is a bit of a Frankenstein design the industry has adopted for some
unknown reasons.
