Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and device for performing the process of discovering neighbors for Wi-Fi P2P communication. The method includes: checking at a first WFD P2P device whether there is WFD P2P group in which participation is possible; performing, at the first WFD P2P device, the operation for participating in the WFD P2P group in which participation is possible, if there is a WFD P2P group in which participation is possible, or performing, at the first WFD P2P device, the operation for creating a new WFD P2P group or entering a sleep mode, if there is no WFD P2P group in which participation is possible.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for performing a neighbor discovery procedure for wireless fidelity direct (WFD) peer to peer (P2P) communication, the method comprising: determining, by a first WFD P2P device, if a participatable WFD P2P group exists or not; and performing, by the first WFD P2P device, an operation for participating in the participatable WFD P2P group based on neighbor information when the participatable WFD P2P group exists, wherein the operation for pa…
