US 2026/0313347 A1 · METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PERFORMING WI-FI AWARE COMMUNICATION

Abstract

A first station for performing Wi-Fi aware communication, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, may receive at least one first beacon in a first access point (AP) period communicating with a first AP. Further, a wireless station may communicate with a second wireless station in a first aware period in which Wi-Fi aware communication is performed. According to one embodiment, the first AP period and the first aware period are determined by a maximum AP beacon interval (imax), and the maximum AP beacon interval (imax) may be determined by the larger of a first interval of the first beacon transmitted by the first AP and a second interval of a second beacon transmitted by a second AP connected with the second wireless station.

Dependent claims

A first station configured to perform neighbor awareness networking (NAN)-based communication and wireless local area network (WLAN) communication, the first station comprising:

a transceiver;
and
at least one processor coupled to the transceiver,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
receive at least one first beacon in a first access point (AP) period in which the first station communicates with a first AP;
and
communicate with a second station in a first aware period in which the first station performs NAN-based communication,
wherein the first AP period and the first aware period are determined based on a maximum AP beacon interval (imax), and
wherein the maximum AP beacon interval (imax) is determined by a larger one of a first interval of the at least one first beacon transmitted by the first AP and a second interval of a second beacon transmitted by a second AP associated with the second station.
