Abstract: A network interface comprises a random or pseudo-random number generator. The network interface determines that a first communication device is group owner of a peer-to-peer (P2P) group, and randomly or pseudo-randomly generates a media access control (MAC) address for the first communication device using the random or pseudo-random number generator. The network interface utilizes the randomly or pseudo-randomly generated MAC address for the first communication device in group owner communications with one or more second communication devices in the P2P group.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for sharing power load in a network. The method includes identifying a first device to serve as an AP of the network in a next time interval, providing network information from a second device that presently serves as the AP to the first device. When the first device starts to serve as the AP of the network, the second device can be configured to enter into a power save state in order to reduce power consumption by the second device in the next time interval.

Abstract: An access point includes a beacon module and a control module. The access point transmits a beacon during a beacon interval. The beacon module determines a first portion of the beacon interval and a second portion of the beacon interval. The access point operates in a normal mode during the first portion of the beacon interval. The control module operates the access point in a power save mode during the second portion of the beacon interval. The control module operates the access point in the power save mode in response to a client station not communicating with the access point during the first portion of the beacon interval.

Abstract: An access point includes a detection module and a control module. The detection module determines whether a client station communicates with the access point during a predetermined period of time. The access point initially operates in a normal mode during the predetermined period of time. The control module transitions the access point from the normal mode to a power save mode based on whether the client station communicates with the access point during the predetermined period of time.

Abstract: An approach for assigning IP network addresses and for performing name resolution and service discovery in infrastructure mode and/or ad-hoc mode peer-to-peer networks. The size of an ad-hoc network and/or the size of infrastructure network basic service sets may be limited to a selected number of peer stations. A first portion of an IP network address assigned to stations joining a network may be predetermined by the network to be joined and a second portion of the IP network address may be selected dynamically, as each new station joins the network. Stations may generate layer 2 messages that include an information element containing information that supports peer-to-peer service discovery, name resolution and IP network address assignment across multiple ad-hoc and infrastructure networks. A peer-to-peer station may dynamically connect to available ad-hoc or infrastructure networks to access required services, as needed.
