Methods and apparatuses for device discovery

摘要

An information providing method is performable in a wireless network having a plurality of group owner devices respectively controlling a plurality of groups of devices. The information providing method includes periodically transmitting, by a first group owner device that controls a first group of devices, a first packet that includes device descriptors of client devices associated with the first group owner device. The information providing method further includes receiving, by a second group owner device that controls a second group of devices and that is adjacently located with respect to the first group owner device, the first packet transmitted by the first group owner device. The information providing method also includes periodically transmitting, by the second group owner device, a second packet that includes the device descriptors of the client devices associated with the first group owner device.
