SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A SERVICE MESH
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of communication in a neighbor aware network (NAN) comprising at least a first mesh network, each mesh network having at least a first multi-hop data path, comprising:
- receiving a first message at a first device of the NAN; and
decoding the first message to determine;
whether a first service provider device of the first mesh network provides a first service;
a communication channel on which the first service is provided; and
at least one characteristic of a paging window for the communication channel.

Abstract
Systems and methods for receiving service data from a data path are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a message from a neighbor aware network, and decoding the message to determine a communication channel used to provide a service, and an indicator of a paging window for the communication channel. In some aspects, the indicator of the paging window is based on synchronization information for a second communication channel.
