Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatus for wirelessly connecting a plurality of devices for communication in a network. A wireless transceiver device can attempt to wirelessly connect to another wireless transceiver device using a first technique or a second technique. At various times while performing the first technique and the second technique, one or both of the wireless transceiver devices can listen for packets for the different techniques concurrently. In response to receiving a particular type of packet used by the second technique, the wireless transceiver device interrupts the first technique to perform the second technique to connect to another wireless transceiver device (from which the particular type of packet was received). The wireless transceiver device can then proceed with again attempting to wirelessly connect to another wireless transceiver device using the first technique.
