Methods and apparatus for supporting peer to peer communications are described. A peer to peer communications device uses both wide area network (WAN) uplink and downlink communications air link resources for peer to peer signaling. During an uplink share mode of operation a peer to peer wireless terminal uses a wide area network uplink communications band to communicate peer to peer signals, and the peer to peer wireless terminal implements a first transmission power control function. During a downlink share mode of operation, the peer to peer wireless terminal uses a wide area network downlink communications band to communicate peer to peer signals, and the peer to peer wireless terminal implements a second transmission power control function. The second power control function is different from the first power control function.
