Abstract: Systems and methods share context information on a neighbor aware network. In one aspect, a context providing device receives a plurality of responses to a discovery query from a context consuming device, and tailors services it offers to the context consuming device based on the responses. In another aspect, a context providing device indicates in its response to a discovery query which services or local context information it can provide to the context consuming device, and also a cost associated with providing the service or the local context information. In some aspects, the cost is in units of monetary currency. In other aspects, the cost is in units of user interface display made available to an entity associated with the context providing device in exchange for the services or local context information offered to the context consuming device.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer program products for optimization of synchronization message transmission intervals in a peer-to-peer network are described herein. In one aspect, a method for determining an optimized timing for synchronization messages is provided. The method includes receiving clock drift information from other devices on the peer-to-peer wireless communication network. This clock drift information may be used to determine the frequency with which new synchronization messages must be sent in order to keep synchronization error under a certain requirement at other devices, while minimizing the network traffic due to the transmissions of synchronization messages.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and computer program products for synchronization of wireless devices in an ad-hoc network are described herein. In one aspect, a method for synchronizing a wireless communication apparatus is provided. The method includes generating, at a wireless communication apparatus, one or more messages identifying a second device to generate prospective synchronization messages. In some aspects, the second device is a back-up root device. The method further includes transmitting a synchronization message. In one aspect, a root device for an ad-hoc network is responsible for generating synchronization messages for nodes of the ad-hoc network. The root device also generates and transmits a message which identifies a back-up root device. The back-up root device may assume responsibility for generating synchronization messages for the ad-hoc network in the event that the wireless communication apparatus no longer generates synchronization messages for the ad-hoc network. In an embodiment, the generated message identifying the back-up root device is included in a synchronization message.
