Abstract: In a wireless network, a method for operating a wireless device including at least a wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver and a Bluetooth (BT) transceiver, the method comprising facilitating a voice-over-IP (VoIP) call with another device using the WLAN transceiver and the BT transceiver; initiating a WLAN scanning operation by transmitting a probe request, over a wireless channel, to one or more access points (APs); instructing the one or more APs to delay sending a probe response for a delay period; and selectively terminating the WLAN scanning operation based at least in part on a determination that the wireless channel has been idle for more than a wait period after expiration of the delay period.

Abstract: After determining that a P2P discovery process is to commence, one or both of (i) at least a portion of the P2P discovery process is delayed to permit communication via a non-P2P communication link, or (ii) at least a portion of the P2P discovery process is not performed to permit communication via the non-P2P communication link. Communications are performed via the non-P2P communication link during a time period that, prior to delaying or deciding not to perform the portion of the P2P discovery process, would have been allocated for the P2P discovery process.
