Service discovery via low-power wake-up radio

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions for execution by processing circuitry of a wireless device configured for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, the instructions causing the processing circuitry to:

• receive, at a LP-WUR (low-power wake-up radio) of the wireless device, a wake-up packet from a peer device, wherein the wake-up packet includes band support information, the band support information indicating support for 2.4/5 GHz or 60 GHz;
• decode the wake-up packet to determine a service ID (identifier) and protocol support information;
• determine that the wireless device is operable to provide a service identified by the service ID and implement a protocol identified by the protocol support information, the protocol comprising NAN (neighbor aware networking) or Wi-Fi direct;
• wake up a WLAN (wireless local area network) radio of the wireless device in response to determining that the wireless device is capable of providing the service and implementing the protocol, the WLAN radio meeting an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 standard;
• if the wireless device is operating as a seeker or a subscriber device:
• initiate further service discovery or setup connectivity using the WLAN radio;
• and
• if the wireless device is operating as an advertiser or a publisher device:
• initiate advertising service information using the WLAN radio.

A method, implemented at a wireless device configured for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, the method comprising:

• receiving, at a LP-WUR (low-power wake-up radio) of the wireless device, a wake-up packet from a peer device, wherein the wake-up packet includes band support information, the band support information indicating support for 2.4/5 GHz or 60 GHz;
• decoding the wake-up packet to determine a service ID (identifier) and protocol support information;
• determining that the wireless device is operable to provide a service identified by the service ID and implement a protocol identified by the protocol support information, the protocol comprising NAN (neighbor aware networking) or Wi-Fi direct;
• waking up a WEAN (wireless local area network) radio of the wireless device in response to determining that the wireless device is capable of providing the service and implementing the protocol, the WLAN radio meeting an IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 standard;
• if the wireless device is operating as a seeker or a subscriber device:
• initiating further service discovery or setup connectivity using the WEAN radio;
• and
• if the wireless device is operating as an advertiser or a publisher device:
• initiating advertising service information using the WLAN radio.

An apparatus of a peer device configured for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, the apparatus comprising:

• memory;
• and processing circuitry, the processing circuitry to:
• encode for transmission of a wake-up packet from the peer device to a LP-WUR (low-power wake-up radio) of a wireless device, the wake-up packet comprising a service ID (identifier) and protocol support information, the protocol support information identifying a protocol, the protocol comprising NAN (neighbor aware networking) or Wi-Fi direct, wherein the wake-up packet includes band support information, the band support information indicating support for 2.4/5 GHz or 60 GHz;
• and
• decode a frame, received in response to the wake-up packet, the frame indicating that a WLAN (wireless local area network) radio of the wireless device has been activated, and that the wireless device is operable to provide a service identified by the service ID and implement the protocol identified by the protocol support information.
