Abstract:
A wireless communication device (e.g., generally, a device) includes a communication interface and a processor configured to support communications with one or more other devices. In an example of operation, the device supports first communications based on a first communication protocol with a first network coordinator device and identifies a second network coordinator device that operates based on a second communication protocol when supporting those first communications. The device also determines one or more operational parameters associated with the second network coordinator device. When one or more conditions is/are appropriate, the device interworks the first communications and second communications based on the second communication protocol with the second network coordinator device. The degree of interworking is based on one or more considerations associated with one or more of the first and second communication protocols, the first and second network coordinator devices, local and/or remote operating conditions, etc.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device (WDEV) includes a communication interface and a processor, among other possible circuitries, components, elements, etc. to support communications with other WDEV (s) and to generate and process signals associated with such communications. The WDEV supports first communications with a first other WDEV and supports second communications with a second other WDEV. The WDEV processes the first communications and the second communications to determine whether the first other WDEV and the second other WDEV are substantially co-located at a physical location. When not co-located, the WDEV processes the first communications and the second communications based on at least one of a ranging or a location protocol to determine location information of the WDEV. Alternatively, when co-located, the WDEV stores information that indicates co-location of the first other WDEV and the second other WDEV.
