Systems and methods for concurrent device discovery

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for performing multiple operations associated with a peer-to-peer network in parallel by using two or more independent transceivers. When performing a device discovery protocol, one transceiver may operate in a listen state and another transceiver may operate in a search state, so that an exchange of discovery messages may occur with a peer, regardless of whether the peer is in the listen state or the search state. In another aspect, one transceiver may be used to perform a device discovery protocol, allowing the other transceiver to maintain a communications link without interruption.

主权项

1. A wireless communications device for performing multiple parallel operations in a peer-to-peer network, comprising:
a first transceiver to exchange messages with at least one peer for performing a first operation associated with a peer-to-peer network; a second transceiver to exchange messages with at least one peer for performing a second operation associated with the peer-to-peer network; and a peer-to-peer manager to coordinate operation of the first transceiver and the second transceiver to perform the first operation and the second operation in parallel, wherein the first transceiver and the second transceiver are independent.
