The NAN datapath embodiments described herein provide a mechanism through which devices can communicate and provide services. In particular, embodiments described herein relate to techniques for devices (e.g., NAN devices) to propose and confirm schedule updates. The datapath model, and in particular the techniques described herein, may be implemented for unicast and multicast communication between wireless stations.
