NEIGHBOR AWARENESS NETWORKING PAIRING TERMINATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240224048 titled 'NEIGHBOR AWARENESS NETWORKING PAIRING TERMINATION
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications, specifically focusing on terminating a Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) pairing session between two devices.
- A first NAN device can send a deauthentication frame to a second NAN device to end the pairing session and remove authentication keys.
- The deauthentication frame includes addresses of both devices and can be multicast to multiple peer devices in a NAN cluster.
- The innovation allows for efficient termination of pairing sessions and removal of authentication keys in wireless communication networks.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in IoT devices to manage secure connections between devices. - It can enhance the efficiency of communication protocols in smart homes and industrial automation systems.
Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of terminating pairing sessions between devices in wireless networks. - Ensures secure and efficient communication by removing authentication keys when needed.
Benefits: - Improved security by quickly terminating connections when necessary. - Enhanced network management in complex wireless communication environments.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Wireless Communication Termination Technology for IoT Devices This technology can be applied in IoT devices, smart homes, and industrial automation systems to streamline communication protocols and ensure secure connections.
Questions about Wireless Communication Termination Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the security of wireless communication networks? - This technology enhances security by efficiently terminating pairing sessions and removing authentication keys when needed. 2. What are the potential applications of this innovation in IoT devices? - The technology can be used in IoT devices to manage secure connections and streamline communication protocols.
Original Abstract Submitted
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.
