Abstract:
An electronic apparatus for Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communication and a method thereof is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a Wi-Fi module configured to perform Wi-Fi communication, and a controller configured to control the Wi-Fi module to sequentially select a plurality of channels, and then control the Wi-Fi module to perform a scan operation through each of the plurality of channels, if in response to a Wi-Fi P2P function is being executed. Further, while the scan operation is being performed, the controller controls the Wi-Fi module to determine a connection channel with an external device which will perform Wi-Fi P2P communication based on a number of probe response packets received through each of the plurality of channels.
