Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first wireless device may establish a communication session with a second wireless device using a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) radio access technology (RAT). The first wireless device may transmit a first indication that the first wireless device is capable of using a secured ranging protocol. The first wireless device may receive a second indication that the second wireless device is also capable of using the secured ranging protocol. The first wireless device may determine one or more setup parameters to use for a ranging procedure between the first wireless device and the second wireless device based on the first indication and the second indication. Accordingly, the first wireless device may obtain a measurement report after using the secured ranging protocol to perform the ranging procedure in accordance with the one or more setup parameters.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first wireless communication device (WCD) may receive a beacon from a second WCD, the beacon including an indication of service-specific information associated with the second WCD. The WCD may join a cluster associated with the second WCD in association with the service-specific information indicating that a service is available. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein provide for a termination of a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) pairing session between a first NAN device and a second NAN device. A first NAN device that has initiated a pairing session with a second NAN device may transmit a deauthentication frame to the other NAN device to terminate the pairing session and remove the authentication key(s). The first NAN device and second NAN device terminate the pairing session and remove the authentication key(s). The deauthentication frame may include a header that indicates the addresses for the first and second NAN devices. In some cases, the first NAN device may establish NAN communications with multiple peer devices (e.g., in a NAN cluster). The first NAN device may multicast the deauthentication frame to the multiple devices. The multicast deauthentication frame may include an identifier for the NAN cluster.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for Neighbor Aware Networking (NAN) communications between two devices concurrently over multiple NAN Data Links (NDLs). A multi-NDL connection is formed between two NAN devices where both devices support multi-link operation (MLO) for NAN communications. A first NAN device and a second NAN device each advertises its respective capability to support MLO for NAN communications to the other device by transmitting to the other device a NAN frame that includes an MLO information element. A multi-NDL connection is formed between the first NAN device and the second NAN device in accordance with the information in the multi-link information elements. Each NDL of the multi-NDL connection is associated with a set of frequency channels that do not overlap the set of frequency channels associated with another NDL. Concurrent NAN communication can occur over the multiple NDLs.
