In an infrastructure wireless network, a direct data communication mechanism can be implemented for wireless network devices in a common basic service set (BSS) to directly exchange data frames, without transmitting the data frames via an access point. Each of the wireless network devices in the BSS can receive connection information that indicates whether data frames can be directly transmitted to each of the wireless network devices in the BSS. A source wireless network device can determine whether the data frames can be directly transmitted to a destination wireless network device based on analyzing the connection information. If the data frames can be directly transmitted, the source wireless network device can directly transmit the data frames to the destination WLAN device without having to transmit the data frames to the access point, which may improve transmission efficiency. |
