Peer-to-peer group owner for legacy client device Multi-channel simultaneous operation and indication of associated absence period

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices are described for peer-to-peer (P2P) group owner (GO) multi-channel simultaneous (MC) operations and indications of associated absence periods for legacy client devices. In some aspects, an absence period may be specified in which a peer-to-peer (P2P) group owner (GO) is unavailable to receive transmissions from a client device wirelessly coupled with the P2P GO. Out-of-office notice (NoA) may be sent by the P2P GO, P2P NoA indicates the absence period if the client device wirelessly coupled with the P2P GO contains a P2P client device that supports the P2P protocol. A legacy wireless beacon may be sent by the P2P GO and the legacy wireless beacon may include an information element indicating the absence period (IE (IE) if the client device wirelessly coupled with the P2P GO includes a legacy client device that does not support the P2P protocol ).
