Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for Wi-Fi peer-to-peer (P2P) communications. A seeker user equipment (UE) may identify a desired service to be provided via Wi-Fi P2P communication. The seeker UE may broadcast a probe that identifies the desired service. An advertiser UE may receive the probe from the seeker UE. The probe identifies a desired service for the seeker UE that is to be provided via Wi-Fi P2P communication. The advertiser UE may transmit a probe response to the seeker UE only when it is determined that the advertiser UE is capable of providing the identified desired service.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for supporting unknown peripheral function protocols (PFP) with a wireless docking station. A wireless docking station may facilitate connections between a wireless dockee and peripherals employing both recognized and unrecognized PFPs. A docking station may request one or more service discovery parameters from a peripheral having an unrecognized PFP. The docking station may receive service discovery parameters in response, convey the received discovery parameters to a wireless dockee, and facilitate discovery and a connection between the device and the peripheral. The discovery parameters may include various identifiers related to peripheral function, identity, and location.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first wireless computing device further comprises a first a memory and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to: establish a Wi-Fi Direct Services (WFDS) connection to a second wireless computing device via a wireless communication channel, responsive to establishing the WFDS connection, establish a WFDS Application Service Platform (ASP) session between the first wireless computing device and the second wireless computing device, wherein the ASP session uses data link layer communications based on media access control (MAC) addresses via the WFDS connection, and does not use internet protocol (IP) communications, and responsive to establishing the ASP session, communicate to the second wireless computing device, using the ASP session.

Abstract: Techniques are described for establishing a Wireless Serial Bus (WSB) service to transport data using a Media Agnostic Universal Serial Bus (MAUSB) protocol according to a selected transport mode in a WSB session of the WSB service. The MAUSB protocol may be deployed either over an Internet Protocol (IP) stack or directly over a Media Access Control (MAC) layer. According to the techniques, the wireless service advertiser and the wireless service seeker negotiate the transport mode for the MAUSB protocol in each WSB session of the WSB service. During a service discovery process, the wireless service advertiser identifies one or more supported transport modes for the MAUSB protocol in service information for the WSB service. During a P2P connection setup and a WSB session setup, the wireless service seeker indicates a selected one of the supported transport modes for the MAUSB protocol in session information for the WSB session.
