GROUP OWNER SELECTION WITHIN A PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK

摘要

A method of selecting one of a number of wireless devices to be a group owner of a peer-to-peer network includes determining, at a first wireless device, a first count value indicating how many other wireless devices are within wireless communication range of the first wireless device; determining, for a second wireless device, a second count value indicating how many other wireless devices are within wireless communication range of the second wireless device; and selecting either the first wireless device or the second wireless device as the group owner based, at least in part, on whether the first count value is greater or less than the second count value.
