Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing an in-band connection using an out-of-band connection are provided. In some aspects, a system includes a handshake module configured to communicate, by a first electronic device with a second electronic device, connection setup information over a first connection. The system also includes a security module configured to select a security scheme based on the communicated connection setup information. The system also includes a role module configured to determine a communication role of the first electronic device and a communication role of the second electronic device based on the communicated connection setup information. The system also includes a connection module configured to facilitate establishing a second connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device based on the selected security scheme, the communication role of the first electronic device, and the communication role of the second electronic device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a peer-to-peer connection are disclosed. A first electronic device discovers a second electronic device available for peer-to-peer connection. A group owner intent value is determined based on one or more power characteristics of the first electronic device. A group owner intent value for the second electronic device is received. The determined group owner intent value is compared with the received group owner intent value for the second electronic device. A group role is assumed based on the comparison of the determined group owner intent value and the received group owner intent value for the second electronic device.
