1. A method for communicating data in a wireless communications network, comprising:
- receiving, by a device, a first message from a station;
decoding, at the device, the first message to determine a proxy preference number of the station and to determine service information, the service information identifying a service provided by the station, and the proxy preference number of the station indicating a level of capability or a level of interest the station has in being a proxy station;
comparing the determined proxy preference number of the station with a proxy preference number of the device, the comparison being based at least on the indicated level of capability or the indicated level of interest the station has in being a proxy station; and
based on the comparison;
generating, at the device, a second message, wherein the second message is generated to indicate the service provided by the station and the service information of the device; and
transmitting, by the device, the second message to a remote station, the remote station being different from the station.

Abstract
Systems and methods share context information on a neighbor aware network. A method for communicating data in a wireless communications network is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a device, a first message from a station, decoding the message to determine service information, the service information identifying a service provided by the station, generating a second message, wherein the second message is generated to indicate the service provided by the station and service information of the device, and transmitting, by the device, the second message to a remote station.

8. An apparatus for communicating data in a wireless communications network, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive a first message from a station; a hardware processor configured to; decode the first message to determine service information, the service information identifying a service provided by the station, and further configured to decode the message to determine a proxy preference number of the station, the proxy preference number of the station indicating a level of capability or a level of interest the station has in being a proxy station; compare the determined proxy preference number of the station with a proxy preference number of the apparatus, the comparison being based at least on the indicated level of capability or the indicated level of interest the station has in being a proxy station; and generate a second message to indicate the service provided by the station and the service information of the apparatus, the generating being based on the comparison; and a transmitter configured to transmit the second message to a remote station, the transmitting being based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for communicating data in a wireless communications network, comprising:
-
receiving, by a device, data from a proxy station, the data including a proxy preference number of the proxy station, the proxy preference number of the proxy station indicating a level of capability or a level of interest the proxy station has in being a selected proxy station; comparing, at the device, the data received from the proxy station with data associated with the device, the comparison being based at least on the indicated level of capability or the indicated level of interest the proxy station has in being a selected proxy station; determining, at the device, whether to allow the proxy station to advertise service information of the device on behalf of the device based on the comparison, wherein the service information identifies a service provided by the device; and transmitting, by the device, a message to the proxy station based on the determination. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. An apparatus for communicating data in a wireless communications network, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive data from a proxy station, the data including a proxy preference number of the proxy station, the proxy preference number of the proxy station indicating a level of capability or a level of interest the proxy station has in being a selected proxy station; a hardware processor configured to compare the data received from the proxy station with data associated with the apparatus, the comparison being based at least on the indicated level of capability or the indicated level of interest the proxy station has in being a selected proxy station, wherein the hardware processor is further configured to determine whether to allow the proxy station to advertise service information of the apparatus on behalf of the apparatus based on the comparison, wherein the service information identifies a service provided by the apparatus; and a transmitter configured to transmit a message to the proxy station based on the determination. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
