Abstract:
An apparatus is provided comprising: a communication interface; and at least one processor configured to: synchronize the apparatus with at least one electronic device, receive, via the communication interface, a signal from the electronic device, and determine a distance between the apparatus and the electronic device based on a transmission time and a reception time of the signal.
Abstract:
An electronic device and a method of an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a receiver, and a processor configured to receive first proximity service data through the receiver, wherein the first proximity service data comprises guide information that contains information indicating a device for transmitting second proximity service data and a transmission time point of the second proximity service data. The method of an electronic device includes receiving first proximity service data, wherein the first proximity service data comprises guide information that contains information indicating a device for transmitting second proximity service data and a transmission time point of the second proximity service data.
Abstract:
An electronic device in a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) cluster is provided. The electronic device includes a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) transceiver; and a processor, coupled with the Wi-Fi transceiver, configured to perform a synchronization with at least one device in the NAN cluster, wherein the at least one device comprises an external electronic device, after performing the synchronization, receive, from the external electronic device through the Wi-Fi transceiver, a frame including first data within at least one discovery window (DW) among a plurality of DWs, wherein the first data comprises channel information for second data, and time information for the second data, and based on the channel information and the time information, control the Wi-Fi transceiver to receive the second data at a channel corresponding to the channel information of the received first data during a time duration corresponding to the time information of the received first data.
