NEIGHBORHOOD AWARENESS NETWORKING (NAN) EXTENSION TO 6 GHZ OPERATION

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.
