Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods, devices and systems for Bluetooth low energy discovery in wireless application service platforms. One example embodiment relates to transmitting, by a first terminal including a radio, a request message for seeking service, receiving, by a peer terminal, the request message for seeking service, transmitting to the first terminal, by the peer terminal, a response frame advertising service including service provider information.
Claims17
A device for activating Wi-Fi using Bluetooth, the device comprising storage and processing circuitry, the processing circuitry coupled to the storage, the processing circuitry configured to:
- cause to send a first Bluetooth advertisement packet comprising a first indication of a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) service;
- identify a second Bluetooth advertisement packet received from another device;
- identify, in the second Bluetooth advertisement packet, an address identifying the other device, a second indication of the NAN service, and a NAN identifier, the NAN identifier different than the address;
- and
- cause to activate a Wi-Fi radio associated with the device based on identifying the second indication of the NAN service, wherein to cause to activate the Wi-Fi radio comprises to initiate a NAN link.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors of a first device result in performing operations comprising:
- identifying, at a first device, a first Bluetooth advertisement packet received from a second device, wherein the first Bluetooth advertisement packet comprises a first indication of a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) service;
- causing to send a second Bluetooth advertisement packet to the second device, wherein the second Bluetooth advertisement packet comprises an address identifying the first device, a second indication of the NAN service, and a NAN identifier, the NAN identifier different than the address;
- and
- causing to activate a Wi-Fi radio associated with the first device, wherein causing to activate the Wi-Fi radio comprises to initiate a NAN link.
A method, comprising:
- causing to send, by a first device, a first Bluetooth advertisement packet comprising a first indication of a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) service;
- identifying a second Bluetooth advertisement packet received from a second device;
- identifying, in the second Bluetooth advertisement packet, an address identifying the second device, a second indication of the NAN service, and a NAN identifier, the NAN identifier different than the address;
- and
- causing to activate a Wi-Fi radio associated with the first device based on identifying the second indication of the NAN service, wherein causing to activate the Wi-Fi radio comprises initiating a NAN link.
