Changing Neighbor Aware Network Clusters for Neighbor Aware Network Data Links

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for synchronizing clocks in a Neighboring Perception Network (NAN) data link (NDL) cluster. An exemplary apparatus communicates with one or more members of a group comprising a device according to a first data communication window (DCW) timeline having a first offset for a first clock associated with a first network cluster , Detecting a beacon sent by a device in the second network cluster, the beacon including timing information of a second clock associated with the second network cluster, determining whether to initiate movement of the group into the second network cluster And generating a frame for initiating group movement to a second network cluster, wherein the frame comprises a first indication of timing information of a second clock, and an interface configured to output a frame for transmission .
