Neighborhood Awareness Network and Multi-Channel Operation over OFDMA

摘要

Apparatus and methods are provided for peer-to-peer communication network and multi-channel operation over OFDMA. In novel aspect, the communication device sends a first frame to reserve a time period for one or more peer-to-peer services in a wireless communication network, establishes one or more sessions with one or more peer-to-peer communication devices in the time period reserved for a subset of the one or more peer-to-peer services, transmits a second frame allocating radio resource for a subset of communications devices of the one or more communications devices, and sends or receives one or more data frames to/from one or more peer-to-peer communication devices concurrently using OFDMA, wherein the one or more data frames are received during the reserved time period. In one embodiment, the communication device is non-AP. In another embodiment, the second frame indicates resource blocks allocated for each of the one or more peer-to-peer communication devices.
