Bootstrapping Wi-Fi direct communication by a trusted network entity
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE). Embodiments herein provide a method for establishing a wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) direct connection between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE. The method includes sending, by a trusted network entity, a request message to each of the first UE and the second UE. Further, the method includes receiving, by the trusted network entity, a response message from each of the first UE and the second UE. Further, the method includes generating, by the trusted network entity, at least one Wi-Fi key based on the response message. Further, the method includes sending, by the trusted network entity, a setup request message to each of the first UE and the second UE, wherein the setup request message comprises the at least one of a Wi-Fi key, a group owner identifier, and network data to establish the Wi-Fi direct connection between the first UE and the second UE.
