SECURED RANGING FOR NEIGHBOR AWARENESS NETWORKING DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17876353 titled 'SECURED RANGING FOR NEIGHBOR AWARENESS NETWORKING DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described in this patent application. The invention involves the use of a neighbor awareness networking (NAN) radio access technology (RAT) to establish a communication session between two wireless devices.

Here are the key points of the patent/innovation:

  • The first wireless device indicates its capability of using a secured ranging protocol to the second wireless device.
  • The second wireless device also indicates its capability of using the secured ranging protocol.
  • Based on these indications, the first wireless device determines setup parameters for a ranging procedure between the two devices.
  • The first wireless device performs the ranging procedure using the secured ranging protocol and obtains a measurement report.
  • The setup parameters are used to ensure the accuracy and security of the ranging procedure.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication between devices in close proximity, such as in Internet of Things (IoT) networks or smart home systems.
  • Location-based services that require accurate ranging measurements between devices.
  • Secure communication and authentication protocols for wireless devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures that the ranging procedure between wireless devices is accurate and secure.
  • Enables devices to establish communication sessions using a secured ranging protocol.
  • Improves the reliability and efficiency of wireless communication between devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced security in wireless communication by using a secured ranging protocol.
  • Improved accuracy in ranging measurements between devices.
  • Efficient establishment of communication sessions between wireless devices using the neighbor awareness networking technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

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.
