1. A method comprising:
transmitting, via a transmitter and on a first channel of a wireless medium, a first frame effective to prevent a member device of a peer-to-peer group operating on the first channel from attempting to access the wireless medium for a duration of time; transmitting, via the transmitter and on a second channel of the wireless medium and without scanning the second channel for wireless devices, a second frame inviting a wireless device operating off the first channel to join the peer-to-peer group on the first channel; receiving, via a receiver and on the second channel of the wireless medium, a third frame from the wireless device indicating that the wireless device will join the peer-to-peer group on the first channel of the wireless medium; and returning, responsive to receiving the third frame via the receiver and prior to the duration of time expiring, to the first channel of the wireless medium effective to enable a next attempt of the member device to successfully access the wireless medium subsequent the expiration of the duration of time.
