Methods and apparatus related to peer to peer communication networks are described. A peer to peer traffic transmission request is linked to a subsequent traffic transmission interval having a fixed relationship to the transmitted transmission request. In various embodiments, when a first peer to peer device, which has requested a second device for authorization to use a linked subsequent traffic transmission interval, has been granted its request and has decided to transmit traffic during the subsequent traffic interval, the first device transmits a peer to peer pilot and receives a rate information signal, prior to transmitting the traffic signal. In some embodiments, the transmitted pilot signal and the received rate information signal are communicated using corresponding air link resources associated with the traffic interval. |
