Methods and apparatus for supporting peer to peer communications are described. A plurality of wide area network communications bands in a wireless communications system are also available for use to communicate peer to peer signals. At different locations it may be advantageous for a mobile peer to peer communications device to use a different communications band to promote efficient use of air link resources. A peer to peer communications device stores information associating location information with different communication band usage designation information. The peer to peer communications device determines its location from a received signal, e.g., a received GPS signal, and looks up in its stored information to identify a band to use for peer to peer signaling at that location. A communications band is designated to be used at a location for one of the following: WAN usage, peer to peer usage, and concurrent WAN usage/peer to peer usage.
