Abstract
In some examples, a method includes generating, at a first device, a paging message including an indication of whether the first device is available for a particular time period during which devices of a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN) are configured to operate in an active operating mode. The method also includes sending the message from the first device to one or more devices of the data link group of the NAN.
Claims30
A method of communication comprising:
- generating, at a first device, a message including an indication of whether the first device is available during a particular time period during which devices of a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN) are configured to operate in an active operating mode;
- and
- sending the message from the first device to one or more devices of the data link group.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that are executable by the processor to perform operations comprising:
- generating, at a first device, a message including an indication of whether the first device is available during a particular time period during which devices of a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN) are configured to operate in an active operating mode;
- and
- initiating transmission of the message from the first device to one or more devices of the data link group.
A method of communication comprising:
- receiving, at a second device of a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN), a message including an indication of whether a first device corresponding to a particular service is available during a particular time period during which devices of the data link group are configured to operate in an active operating mode;
- and
- transitioning to a low-power operating mode during one or more transmission windows corresponding to the particular time period in response to determining that the first device is unavailable during the particular time period.
