    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for neighbor awareness networking extension to 6 GHz networks. A method is provided that may be performed by a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device discovers one or more peer devices in a neighborhood aware network (NAN) on a first radio frequency band. The wireless communication device discovers a capability of at least one of the one or more peer devices for communicating on a 6 GHz radio frequency band and/or publishes a capability of the wireless communication device for communicating on the 6 GHz radio frequency band. The wireless communication device establishes a NAN device link with the at least one peer device on the 6 GHz radio frequency band.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to techniques to extend the time that wireless devices spend in a sleep state. For example, a first wireless device may transmit a poll message to a second wireless device during a current polling period having multiple polling slots allocated to transmissions by the first wireless device. In response to receiving a null response message while there are one or more remaining polling slots allocated to transmissions by the first wireless device, the first wireless device may terminate the current polling period early. Furthermore, an early termination message may be transmitted to the second wireless device to indicate that the first wireless device will not be sending any further transmissions in the current polling period. As such, both wireless devices may then place one or more electronic circuits into a low-power mode prior to a sleep period scheduled to start when the current polling period ends.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for receiving scanning information from a second wireless communication device over a wireless link associated with a first wireless communications protocol, the scanning information identifying one or more wireless frequency channels associated with a second wireless communications protocol; selecting a subset of wireless channels associated with the second wireless communications protocol based on the scanning information; and scanning one or more wireless frequency channels of only the selected subset of wireless frequency channels. This disclosure also provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for scanning a plurality of wireless frequency channels in one or more frequency bands associated with one or more first wireless communications protocols; identifying a subset of the plurality of scanned wireless frequency channels on which one or more access points are operating; and transmitting scanning information including the identified subset of wireless frequency channels to a second wireless communication device over a wireless link associated with a second wireless communications protocol.
