Abstract:
A method and apparatus are disclosed that allow a first wireless device to form a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection with a second wireless device that does not operate on the social channels of a first frequency band. The first wireless device receives, from the second wireless device, an action frame indicating a selected channel in a second frequency band. The first wireless device may scan a number of social channels in the first frequency band to discover a presence of another wireless device, and then scans the selected channel to discover the presence of the second wireless device.
