COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DEVICES OF A NEIGHBOR AWARE NETWORK
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of communication comprising:
- receiving, at a second device of a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN), a message including an indication of whether a first device corresponding to a particular service is available during a particular time period during which devices of the data link group are configured to operate in an active operating mode; and
transitioning to a low-power operating mode during one or more transmission windows corresponding to the particular time period in response to determining that the first device is unavailable during the particular time period.

Abstract
In some examples, a method includes receiving, at a second device of a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN), a message including an indication of whether a first device corresponding to a particular service is available during a particular time period during which devices of the data link group are configured to operate in an active operating mode. The method also includes transitioning to a low-power operating mode during one or more transmission windows corresponding to the particular time period in response to determining that the first device is unavailable during the particular time period.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that are executable by the processor to perform operations comprising; receiving, at a second device of a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN), a message including an indication of whether a first device corresponding to a particular service is available for a particular time period during which devices of the data link group are configured to operate in an active operating mode; and transitioning to a low-power operating mode during one or more transmission windows corresponding to the particular time period in response to determining that the first device is unavailable during the particular time period. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

23. A computer-readable medium comprising instructions for communication, the instructions when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations:
-
identifying, at a second device of a data link group of a neighbor aware network (NAN), an indication of whether a first device corresponding to a particular service is available for a particular time period during which devices of the data link group are configured to operate in an active operating mode, the indication included in a message received at the second device; and transitioning to a low-power operating mode during one or more transmission windows corresponding to the particular time period in response to determining that the first device is unavailable during the particular time period. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
