Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable mediums for wireless communication are provided. In an aspect, a second device is configured to receive, from a first device, a reverse direction (RD) grant associated with first device. The RD grant allocates transmission opportunity (TXOP) resources to the second device from the first device. In addition, the second device is configured to send information to the first device indicating an amount of TXOP resources that the second device intends to use.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for synchronizing clocks in a Neighbor Aware Network (NAN) Data Link (NDL) cluster. An exemplary apparatus includes a processing system configured to communicate with one or more members of a group, that includes the apparatus, according to a first data communication window (DCW) timeline having a first offset relative to a first clock associated with a first network cluster, to detect a beacon transmitted by a device of a second network cluster, wherein the beacon comprises timing information of a second clock associated with the second network cluster, to determine whether to initiate a move of the group to the second network cluster, to generate a frame to initiate the move of the group to the second network cluster, the frame comprising a first indication of the timing information of the second clock, and an interface configured to output the frame for transmission.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communication over a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) data link (NDL). In some aspects, an apparatus may be configured to determine frequency band information for communicating over a NDL associated with a NAN service. In some other aspects, the apparatus may be configured to provide the determined frequency band information for transmission to a subscriber of the NAN service for setting up the NDL.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an apparatus is configured to determine a data link attribute for scheduling a data link with a second wireless device and to transmit the determined data link attribute in a frame to the second wireless device.
Abstract:
A method of communication includes generating a traffic advertisement at a particular device. The traffic advertisement indicates availability of data to be sent by the particular device to multiple devices of a set of devices. The data includes first data to be sent to a first device of the multiple devices and second data to be sent to a second device of the multiple devices. The method also includes sending, from the particular device, the traffic advertisement during a paging window. The method further includes receiving a first acknowledgement (ACK) during the paging window at the particular device from an acknowledging device. The method also includes sending the first data from the particular device to the first device during a data transmission window.
Abstract:
In some examples, a method includes receiving, at a first device, availability information from a second device during a connection set-up phase of communication of a neighbor aware network (NAN) or during a NAN discovery window. The connection set-up phase includes an exchange of device capability information. The method also includes, based on the availability information indicating that the second device is available during a transmission window of a data link group of the NAN to receive data from the first device, sending data from the first device to the second device during the transmission window without performing a message exchange to determine an availability of the second device.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a first device, a packet from a second device. The method also includes detecting receipt of the packet at a detection circuit. The method further includes, in response to detecting the receipt of the packet, capturing a time of arrival timestamp corresponding to the packet at a capture circuit. The method also includes receiving, at the first device, a time of departure timestamp corresponding to the packet from the second device. The time of departure timestamp indicates a time when the packet is sent from the second device. The method further includes performing a comparison of the time of arrival timestamp and the time of departure timestamp.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for operating a client device to communicate with a wireless access point to validate data within a frame by comparing channel quality metrics and duration metrics to thresholds. Information received within a validity window may be treated as correctly received even if the frame fails a subsequent verification process or if reception of the frame is terminated prior to the end of the frame.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for enhancing the concurrency of a wireless device operating in multiple network contexts. By identifying opportunity instants that may exist within the normal exchange of information by a device having a single physical transceiver in a first network context, tasks for a second network context may be performed using the transceiver with minimal impact on performance related to the first network context and preferably in complete transparence to the first network context.
