STA SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING SYNCHRONIZATION ACROSS MULTIPLE NETWORKS AND PARTICIPATING STAs VIA OPERATIONS ON A KNOWN COMMON CHANNEL

摘要

Systems and methods for establishing synchronized operations on a data delivery network are disclosed. In an aspect, a method includes receiving synchronization information for a NAN and a second channel associated with a data delivery network (including a paging window for one of the networks), and receiving synchronization information from the NAN channel And receiving service data on data delivery channels while maintaining synchronization on all data delivery channels using only synchronization information. This synchronization allows the devices to sleep, wake up, transmit or store data traffic, among other actions, in a manner such that the devices are awakened to the same specified times (e.g., paging windows) Allowing them to receive or transmit indicators of stored data traffic, thereby allowing these devices to increase efficiency. The devices can then sleep to save power if there is no traffic to receive or transmit traffic, or no traffic to transmit or receive.
