Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided that reduce delay in establishing connectivity between wireless devices when either device detects a session overlap condition during a wireless network setup. In response to detecting the session overlap condition at a first node, the first node made transmit a notification to a second node to switch from the first setup procedure to a second setup procedure using a vendor specific information element.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communications. More particularly, the described features relate to techniques for adaptively or dynamically setting a roaming threshold for a wireless communication link over a first RAT based at least in part on an aspect of a coexisting wireless communication link over a second RAT. In one example, a mobile device may have coexisting wireless communication links over WLAN and BT. In such case, a WLAN roaming threshold may be set based at least in part on a type of BT device employed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for establishing an infrared (IR) triggered radio communication connection between two devices. Upon aligning IR ports, IR trigger messages can be exchanged between devices and/or access points using an IR communication link, where the IR trigger messages indicate intent and capability of establishing the connection. The IR trigger messages may trigger device discovery and connection using the radio communication technology. Additional operations (e.g., exchanging files, streaming content, etc.) may be performed automatically between the devices upon establishing the connection. The radio communication technology may include wireless local area network (WLAN), Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi P2P, Wi-Fi-Direct, or other similar radio link between two devices, such as between a mobile device and another mobile device, a printer, a display, an Access Point, and the like.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and devices are described for wireless communications in which a group of clients in a peer-to-peer configuration can be automatically recreated after the group owner (GO) is terminated. In one aspect, the current GO of a current group can identify one of the clients as a candidate GO for a next group. The next group is to be formed when the current GO becomes unavailable (e.g., scheduled or unscheduled termination) and the current group is dissolved. In another aspect, the candidate GO can determine when the current GO is unavailable, which results in the current group being dissolved. The candidate GO can then send invitations to clients from the current group to join the next group and can form the next group based on those clients that accept the invitation. The invitations can be sent according to a sequence specified by the current GO before becoming unavailable.
