METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTABLISHING WIRELESS FIDELITY DIRECT(WFD) CONNECTION IN A WFD NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method and system for establishing a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) Direct (WFD) connection between Wi-Fi devices are provided. The method includes transmitting, by a source Wi-Fi device, a probe request frame indicating a first set of parameters through a pre-defined channel, wherein the first set of parameters comprises a persistence capability and persistence information; receiving a probe response frame indicating a second set of parameters from a destination Wi-Fi device, wherein the second set of parameters comprises discovery information associated with the destination Wi-Fi device; persistently storing the discovery information associated with the destination Wi-Fi device at the source Wi-Fi device; and establishing a WFD connection with the destination Wi-Fi device using the persistently stored discovery information.
