Apparatus, system and method of communicating in an awareness cluster

A system comprising an awareness networking device, the awareness networking device comprising:

• one or more antennas;
• a memory;
• a processor;
• a radio to communicate during one or more Discovery Windows (DW) of an awareness cluster;
• to communicate with one or more devices of at least one data path group, the data path group comprising devices of the awareness cluster and having a common schedule of radio resources (SRR);
• and to communicate with one or more devices of at least one service data group, the service data group comprising devices of the data path group being subscribed to a common service.

A method to be performed at an awareness networking device, the method comprising:

• communicating during one or more Discovery Windows (DW) of an awareness cluster;
• communicating with one or more devices of at least one data path group, the data path group comprising devices of the awareness cluster and having a common schedule of radio resources (SRR);
• and
• communicating with one or more devices of at least one service data group, the service data group comprising devices of the data path group being subscribed to a common service.

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 computer processor, enable the at least one computer processor to implement one or more operations at an awareness networking device, the operations comprising:

• communicating during one or more Discovery Windows (DW) of an awareness cluster;
• communicating with one or more devices of at least one data path group, the data path group comprising devices of the awareness cluster and having a common schedule of radio resources (SRR);
• and
• communicating with one or more devices of at least one service data group, the service data group comprising devices of the data path group being subscribed to a common service.
