Abstract:
This document discloses a solution for determining distances. In the solution, a first frame is transmitted (200) to a second apparatus; a second frame is received (202) from the second apparatus, as response to the first frame; an indication of the duration between the reception time of the first frame and transmission of the second frame is received (204); an indication whether the duration is constant or variable is received (206); and in case the duration is constant, the distance between the first apparatus and the second apparatus is determined (208) based at least partly on the indication of the duration.
Abstract:
A method comprises composing, by a wireless device in a wireless network, a service ID indicating support for providing proxy service discovery for other wireless devices operating in the wireless network; and transmitting, by the wireless device, a wireless service discovery frame to the wireless network, the service discovery frame including the composed service ID.
Abstract:
Embodiments enable communication between access point devices operating in a neighbor awareness network cluster. A method comprises composing, by an access point device responsible for coordinating communication in a first wireless network, a service ID indicating support for communication with other access point devices operating in a second neighbor awareness network, wherein the access point device is capable of concurrently operating as an access point in the first wireless network and participating in the second neighbor awareness network; and transmitting, by the access point device, a wireless service discovery frame to the second neighbor awareness network, the service discovery frame including the composed service ID.
Abstract:
A method to provide interoperable mechanisms for efficient use of frequency bands and channels in Wi-Fi networks, including receiving, by an access point device, a wireless request message from a wireless device, requesting information on candidate wireless networks; determining, by the access point device, whether the wireless device is associated with the access point device; and composing, by the access point device, a forwarding message to be transmitted by the access point device to a server, and including in the forwarding message an indication that the wireless device is associated with the access point device, if the wireless device is associated with the access point device.
Abstract:
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method, comprising: transmitting a request frame, from a first wireless device to a second wireless device, the request frame indicating a at least one requested transmission window for receiving a wake-up frame via a wake-up radio, and receiving, by the first wireless device from the second wireless device, the wake-up frame via the wake-up radio during at least one allocated transmission window, wherein the at least one allocated transmission window is based on the at least one requested transmission window.
Abstract:
A method comprising: determining, relative to a display, a point of view of a user of the display; controlling content displayed in the display in dependence upon the determination of the point of view of the user of the display.
Abstract:
Various methods are provided for facilitating the transmission of a proximity health alert from a device to other local devices upon a determination that a person is in need of help and that local, immediate help is sought. One example method may comprise performing a condition detection process resulting in a determination of whether help is needed, causing activation of a local wireless network interface in an instance in which the performance of the condition detection process results in a determination that help is needed, continuing to perform the condition detection process in an instance in which performance of the condition detection process results in a determination that help is not needed, performing a help request transmission process resulting in identification of a helper device, and causing transmission of additional information to the helper device.

Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the transition of user equipment between basic service sets within a WLAN or from a basic service set within a WLAN to a cellular data link of a cellular network. In the context of a method from the perspective of the user equipment, a message is received that identifies one or more basic service sets or cellular data links to which user equipment is potentially capable of transferring. For each basic set or cellular data link, the method includes determining from the message whether the respective basic service set or cellular data link is a candidate to permit an internet protocol (IP) address of the user equipment to be preserved following the transfer. The method includes an indication associated with each respective basic service set or cellular data link to identify whether the IP address of the user equipment is able to be preserved following the transfer thereto.
Abstract:
A method to manage of coexistence between infrastructure networks and peer-to-peer groups, including receiving, by a peer-to-peer wireless client device associated with a peer-to-peer wireless group owner device in a peer-to-peer wireless network, channel usage information of a wireless infrastructure network, from a wireless access point device managing the wireless infrastructure network; and transmitting, by the peer-to-peer wireless client device, the received channel usage information of the wireless infrastructure network, to the peer-to-peer wireless group owner device, as coexistence information.
