Abstract
This disclosure describes methods, apparatuses, and systems related to signaling for concurrent operation and/or cancellation capabilities for termination of concurrent operations on networks (e.g., NAN, WLAN networks). In some implementations, systems and methods are provided for handling of time blocks that partially overlaps with the concurrent operations.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor of one or more processors configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
- determine schedule information associated with a first network, wherein the first network is a non-neighborhood area networking (NAN) network, and wherein the schedule information indicates one or more time blocks and one or more channels during which the device will not be available for transmissions;
- generate a frame, the frame comprising the schedule information;
- and
- cause to send the frame on a second network, wherein the second network is a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) network, and wherein the schedule information indicates to one or more NAN devices to avoid transmitting to the device during the one or more time blocks and the one or more channels.
4 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining, by a device, schedule information associated with a first network, wherein the first network is a non-neighborhood area networking (NAN) network, and wherein the schedule information indicates one or more time blocks and one or more channels during which the device will not be available for transmissions;
- generating a frame, the frame comprising the schedule information;
- and
- causing to send the frame on a second network, wherein the second network is a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) network, and wherein the schedule information indicates to one or more NAN devices to avoid transmitting to the device during the one or more time blocks and the one or more channels.
1 more element
A device, comprising:
- at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor of one or more processors configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
- receive, from a second device on a first network of a first type, a frame, wherein the first type is a neighborhood area networking (NAN) network;
- determine schedule information associated with a non-NAN network in the frame, wherein the schedule information indicates one or more time blocks and one or more channels during which the device will not be available for transmissions, and wherein the schedule information comprises an indication to avoid transmitting to the second device during the one or more time blocks and the one or more channels;
- and
- determine to take at least one action during the one or more time blocks and one or more channels.
