Management of multiple radio links for wireless peer-to-peer communication

摘要

A method for management of multiple radio links for a wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) session is disclosed. The method can include a wireless communication device providing interface address information for a first radio interface and a second radio interface implemented on the wireless communication device to a peer device when establishing a wireless P2P session with the peer device; establishing a threshold for transitioning between the first radio interface and the second radio interface during the wireless P2P session; determining during the wireless P2P session that the threshold has been met; and in response to the threshold being met, signaling to the peer device to transition to the second radio interface, and using the second radio interface to continue the wireless P2P session.

1. A method for management of multiple radio links for a wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) session, the method comprising a wireless communication device:
providing individual interface address information for each of a plurality of radio interfaces implemented on the wireless communication device to a peer device, the plurality of radio interfaces comprising a first radio interface and a second radio interface; establishing the wireless P2P session with the peer device; establishing a threshold for transitioning between the first radio interface and the second radio interface during the wireless P2P session; adjusting the threshold for transitioning between the first radio interface and the second radio interface based at least in part on a Quality of Service (QoS) class for an active application that transfers data via one or more of the first radio interface and the second radio interface during the wireless P2P session; determining during the wireless P2P session whether the threshold has been met; and in response to the threshold being met:
signaling to the peer device to transition the wireless P2P session from the first radio interface to the second radio interface; andusing the second radio interface to continue the wireless P2P session.
