    摘要: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of terminating a Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) path. For example, an apparatus may include logic and circuitry configured to cause a first NAN device to transmit a message including a NAN Data Link (NDL) attribute corresponding to an NDL with a second NAN device, the NDL attribute including a Maximal (Max) Idle Period field to indicate a time period during which the second NAN device is allowed to refrain from transmitting over the NDL without the NDL being terminated; and to allow the first NAN device to terminate all NAN Data Paths (NDPs) over the NDL, if any frame is not received from the second NAN device for at least the time period indicated by the Max Idle Period field.

    摘要: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of establishing a mesh data path. For example, a first Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) device may be configured to transmit a NAN data path request to a second NAN device to request to establish a NAN data path between the first NAN device and the second NAN device, the NAN data path request including a first path information attribute corresponding to a mesh data path; and to process a NAN data path response from the second NAN device, the NAN data path response including a second path information attribute corresponding to the mesh data path, the second path information attribute including a path status indicator to indicate whether mesh data path routing to the destination address of the mesh data path is successful.

    摘要: Devices and methods of providing a NAN schedule update are generally described. NAN devices communicate data on a schedule of repeating time blocks in which transmission in different time blocks are on different channels. A public action frame indicates in a subfield that the frame is a schedule update frame. The schedule update frame provides attributes to have general schedule update for availability time, existing unicast service or existing multicast service. The schedule update frame also contains a schedule update control field that indicates in a subfield that the current time block is cancelled or extended or provides a general schedule update. The schedule update control field also indicates a reason for the schedule update.

    摘要: Logic to “loosely” manage synch frame transmissions in a synch network via the devices synched to the network that implement the logic. Logic may distributedly adjust the frequency of attempting synch frame transmissions without estimating the size of the neighborhood. Logic in devices of a synch network to let each device maintain a Transmission Window (TW). Logic to determine the frequency of attempting synch frame transmissions based upon the TW. Logic to increase TW if the device detects a synch frame transmission. Logic to decrease TW if the device successfully transmits a synch frame. Logic to balance power consumption and discovery timing by adjusting the decrease in TW responsive to a synch transmission in relation to the increase in TW responsive to detection of a synch transmitted by another device.
