Abstract:
Embodiments relate to wireless stations that operate to configure direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. In embodiments, a wireless station may transmit, to a first peer wireless station, a first availability schedule that may include one or more types of committed availability and receive, from the first peer wireless station, a second availability schedule applicable to the wireless station but not other peer wireless stations. The types of committed availability may include a first type that is non-cancelable and a second type that is cancelable. The second availability schedule may be the second type. The wireless station may be further configured to transmit, to a second peer wireless station of the plurality of peer wireless stations, a third availability schedule where the third availability schedule may be the first type.
