That's precisely what Wi-Fi Aware (NaN) is and it is heavily based on AWDL. It's even built into recent versions of iOS and Android.
replyI've never heard of Wi-Fi Aware, thanks for sharing. Are there any devices/chips that support it today?
replyiOS 26 supports it. I tried looking in to it and I couldn’t find anything using it yet though.
replyWait did they actually name it NaN or is that a joke?
replyNAN, not NaN. NaN is parent's editorialization or muscle memory.
replyOh; I thought maybe it just didn’t have an 802 type name so it might have just been a little joke.
replyAnyway, good to know we can use our NAN signal to send signal NaNs!
