Apparatus and method for filtering wireless signals

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more radios to receive a plurality of wireless signals within a defined spectrum;
• an energy detection and filtering module to filter received wireless signals based on a detected energy level of the received wireless signals and in accordance with a set of energy-based filtering parameters, wherein the energy detection and filtering module is configured to remove all signals which are below a specified energy threshold, the energy threshold defined by the energy-based filtering parameters, the energy detection and filtering module to output energy-filtered wireless signals;
• a signal characteristic analysis and filtering module to analyze and filter the energy-filtered wireless signals based on characteristics of the received wireless signals in accordance with a set of signal analysis filtering parameters to output energy-and-characteristic filtered wireless signals;
• wireless device identification logic to analyze the energy-and-characteristic filtered wireless signals for each of a plurality of channels to identify wireless devices sending and/or receiving wireless communications over each channel and to packetize the transmissions using the identity of the sender and/or recipient;
• a plurality of wireless networking stacks, each of the wireless networking stacks associated with one of the wireless devices identified by the wireless device identification logic;
• and
• stack forwarding logic to receive packets from the wireless device identification logic and to forward the packets to wireless networking stacks corresponding to each of the wireless devices identified by the wireless device identification logic.
