Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of performing a range measurement. For example, a first wireless communication device may include a radio to communicate a discovery frame with a second wireless communication device, the discovery frame including at least one movement indication field to indicate a time of movement of a sender of said discovery frame; and a controller to perform a range measurement procedure with said second wireless communication device.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising a memory, and a processor, the processor configured to cause a first Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) device to:
- identify a value of a cluster Time Synchronization Function (TSF) at a time of a last detected movement of the first NAN device prior to sending a NAN frame by the first NAN device;
- include the value of the cluster TSF into a last movement indication field;
- transmit the NAN frame to a second NAN device, the NAN frame comprising a ranging attribute comprising a plurality of fields, the plurality of fields comprising the last movement indication field to assist the second NAN device in a determination to perform a ranging measurement procedure with the first device;
- and
- communicate messages of the ranging measurement procedure with the second NAN device.
A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one processor, enable the at least one processor to cause a first Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) device to:
- identify a value of a cluster Time Synchronization Function (TSF) at a time of a last detected movement of the first NAN device prior to sending a NAN frame by the first NAN device;
- include the value of the cluster TSF into a last movement indication field;
- transmit the NAN frame to a second NAN device, the NAN frame comprising a ranging attribute comprising a plurality of fields, the plurality of fields comprising the last movement indication field to assist the second NAN device in a determination to perform a ranging measurement procedure with the first NAN device;
- and
- communicate messages of the ranging measurement procedure with the second NAN device.
