Apparatus, system and method of neighbor awareness networking (nan) data link (ndl) power save

A product including 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 cause a first Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) device to:

• setup a NAN Data Link (NDL) with a second NAN device;
• communicate a power save request between the first and second NAN devices during a Common Resource Block (CRB) of the NDL;
• communicate a power save response between the first and second NAN devices, the power save response in response to the power save request;
• and
• enter a power save state for at least part of the CRB.

A first Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) device comprising:

• one or more antennas;
• a radio;
• a memory;
• a processor;
• and
• a controller configured to cause the first NAN device to:
• setup a NAN Data Link (NDL) with a second NAN device;
• communicate a power save request between the first and second NAN devices during a Common Resource Block (CRB) of the NDL;
• communicate a power save response between the first and second NAN devices, the power save response in response to the power save request;
• and
• enter a power save state for at least part of the CRB.
