TECHNIQUES TO MANAGE CONNECTION CAPABILITIES INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

Techniques to manage connection capabilities information for a wireless communications system are described. In various embodiments, for example an apparatus may comprise a processor circuit, a communications component for execution by the processor circuit to perform neighbor awareness networking (NAN) service discovery and to receive a NAN information element (IE) during the NAN service discovery, the NAN IE comprising a connection capability bitmap field describing one or more connection capabilities of a remote device, and a determination component for execution by the processor circuit to determine whether to initiate a connection with the remote device based on the connection capability bitmap field. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
