AI Technical Summary
Existing neighbor awareness networking (NAN) technologies face inefficiencies in forming clusters and maintaining synchronization, leading to high power consumption and delays in communication setup due to reliance on master devices.
An electronic device utilizes the time synchronization function (TSF) timer information of a reference access point to form and maintain a NAN cluster in a non-master mode, reducing power consumption and enabling rapid communication setup by predetermining a master device when necessary.
This approach allows for efficient, low-power operation and immediate communication establishment within NAN clusters by minimizing the need for continuous master device activation, thus reducing overall energy consumption and setup times.
