Abstract: Apparatus configured to be implemented in a first wireless communication device, having corresponding non-transitory computer-readable media, comprise a memory configured to store a coexistence schedule, wherein the coexistence schedule defines WLAN intervals and non-WLAN intervals; a WLAN transceiver configured to transmit WLAN signals in an IBSS network; a non-WLAN transceiver configured to transmit wireless non-WLAN signals; and a coexistence circuit configured to allow the WLAN transceiver to transmit the WLAN signals in the IBSS network only during the WLAN intervals, wherein the coexistence circuit is further configured to allow the non-WLAN transceiver to transmit the wireless non-WLAN signals only during the non-WLAN intervals; and wherein the coexistence circuit is further configured to cause the WLAN transceiver to transmit one or more coexistence request messages, each indicating a duration of at least one of a respective one of the WLAN intervals, and a respective one of the non-WLAN intervals.

Abstract: A first message is received that includes a value indicative of a first timeout interval associated with configuring a second device to operate as a peer-to-peer (P2P) group owner or a P2P client in a P2P wireless network. A second timeout interval is determined based at least on the first timeout interval, and it is determined whether the second timeout interval expired. It is determined whether a second message is received from the second device prior to the second timeout interval expiring, and it is determined that a P2P connection with the second device failed based on a determination that the second message was not received from the second device prior to the second timeout interval expiring.

Abstract: A discovery control system of a first device includes a mode selection module. The module selection module is configured to select a listen mode and a search mode. A discovery control module includes a probe request module. The probe request module is configured to generate a probe request signal within the first device and receive a probe response signal generated by a second device during the search mode. A probe response module is configured to generate a probe response signal within the first device during the listen mode and the search mode and based on a probe request signal generated by the second device.

Abstract: A network interface comprises a random or pseudo-random number generator. The network interface determines that a first communication device is group owner of a peer-to-peer (P2P) group, and randomly or pseudo-randomly generates a media access control (MAC) address for the first communication device using the random or pseudo-random number generator. The network interface utilizes the randomly or pseudo-randomly generated MAC address for the first communication device in group owner communications with one or more second communication devices in the P2P group.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for off-channel device invitation. In some aspects a first frame is transmitted on a first channel of a wireless medium effective to prevent a member device of a peer-to-peer group from attempting to access the wireless medium, a second frame inviting a wireless device to join the peer-to-peer group is transmitted on a second channel of the wireless medium, and the first channel of the wireless medium is returned to thereby enabling a next attempt of the member device to access the wireless medium.

Abstract: A client network device includes a physical-layer device, a parameter module, an adjusting module, and a power management module. The physical-layer device, during each client traffic window that occur within a predetermined period, (i) transmits, over a network, a request signal from the client network device to discover other network devices in the network, and (ii) receives, from one or more of the other network devices, corresponding responses to the request signal. The parameter module monitors a first parameter of the client network device. The adjusting module adjusts a second parameter based on the first parameter. The second parameter indicates a number of the client traffic windows to occur within the predetermined period. The power management module transitions the client network device from an active mode to a sleep mode between consecutive ones of the number of the client traffic windows that occur within the predetermined period.

Abstract: A method is implementable in a source device operable to provide, via a wireless channel, a video stream to a sink device for display by the sink device. The method includes receiving link quality information indicative of a condition of the wireless channel and/or performance of communications between the source device and the sink device via the wireless channel. The method also includes determining a measure of network congestion based on the link quality information, and, based on the measure of network congestion, skipping one or more, but not all, video frames of a plurality of video frames in the video stream, such that the one or more video frames are not provided to the sink device, reconfiguring a video encoder operating on the plurality of video frames, such that an output bit rate of the video encoder is changed, and/or changing a video format of the video stream.

Abstract: A network device of a peer-to-peer network includes a parameter monitoring module. The parameter monitoring module is configured to monitor a network device parameter of the network device. A client traffic window adjusting module is configured to adjust at least one of N client traffic window parameters based on the network device parameter. The N client traffic window parameters include at least one of: a length of a client traffic window; and a number of client traffic windows within a predetermined period. A physical layer device is configured to receive a discovery response signal from a peer-to-peer device during a period of the client traffic window.
