Abstract: An apparatus and system of switching channels between a group owner (GO) and a group client (GC) in a Wi-Fi Direct (WFD) network are described. After establishing the P2P connection via a P2P channel, a request is sent from the GC to the GO to switch from the P2P channel to a preferred channel. The preferred channel may be an access point (AP) channel with which the GC has established communication with an AP after the P2P connection has been established. If the request is accepted, beacons that contain a Channel Switch Announcement (CSA) element or an extended CSA element to schedule a switch from the P2P channel to the preferred channel are sent from the GO. If the request is declined, a response is sent that indicates the preferred channel is not to be used for the P2P connection and includes a rejection reason.

Abstract: A station (STA) may operate as a first peer-to-peer (P2P) client (P2P1) for P2P operations with dual-stage triggering. The STA may decode a primary frame trigger frame (TF) from an access point (AP) operating as a coordinator. The primary TF may allocate resources in an initial portion of a time-duration allocation to the P2P1 for the P2P operations with one or more other peer stations, including a second P2P client (P2P2) and a third P2P client (P2P3). The primary TF may further allocate resources in a subsequent portion of the time-duration allocation to the P2P2 for the P2P operations. The STA may also encode a first secondary TF for transmission within the initial portion of the time-duration allocation. The first secondary TF may allocate specific resource units (RUs) to the one or more other peer stations. The STA may also decode a TB physical layer protocol data unit (TB PPDU) encoded in accordance with a multi-user orthogonal frequency division multiple access (MU OFDMA) frame format.
