Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for a Wi-Fi Aware protection mechanism system that may determine a Neighbor Awareness Networking management frame with channel protection information, including a timestamp, for a communication channel, enable a protection mode to communicate with one or more other client devices in a Neighbor Awareness Networking data cluster, and send, to the one or more other client devices in the Neighbor Awareness Networking data cluster, the Neighbor Awareness Networking management frame with the channel protection information.
Claims20
A client device, the client device comprising memory and processing circuitry configured to:
- select a channel from one or more channels within a Neighbor Awareness Networking data cluster;
- determine a Neighbor Awareness Networking management frame comprising channel protection information, wherein the channel protection information indicates one or more protection modes of the channel;
- and
- cause to send, to one or more other client devices in the Neighbor Awareness Networking data cluster, the Neighbor Awareness Networking management frame with the channel protection information.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a first Neighbor Awareness Networking management frame received from a first client device in a Neighbor Awareness Networking data cluster, wherein the Neighbor Awareness Networking frame comprises first channel protection information for a first communication channel;
- determining that a time stamp of the first channel protection information is more recent than a database entry for the first communication channel;
- and
- updating the database entry with the first channel protection information.
A method comprising:
- selecting, by one or more processors of a client device, a channel from one or more channels within a Neighbor Awareness Networking data cluster;
- determining, by the one or more processors, a Neighbor Awareness Networking management frame comprising channel protection information, wherein the channel protection information indicates one or more protection modes of the channel;
- and
- causing to send, by the one or more processors, to one or more other client devices in the Neighbor Awareness Networking data cluster, the Neighbor Awareness Networking management frame with the channel protection information.
