Abstract

Techniques for routing data in a wireless communication network including a hybrid of infrastructure wireless local area network (WLAN) and neighbor awareness networking (NAN) are described. An access point (AP) allocates at least one radio sub-channel for NAN data transmission in the wireless communication network. A NAN beacon that identifies the allocated radio sub-channel is transmitted from the AP to a first NAN device. The first NAN device is configured to transmit a NAN network message to a second NAN device using the allocated radio sub-channel based on receiving the NAN beacon.
