Systems and methods are described herein for connecting related applications over a peer-to-peer network wireless connection using layercommunications protocols to initiate the connection between the applications. The layercommunications protocols include discovery frames that may be used to discover various types of systems available on a wireless network. The discover frames also include application names or identifiers that may be used to discover which applications are available for connecting with other systems over the wireless network.

Systems and methods for implementing peer-to-peer wireless connections

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are directed to a first peer-to-peer (P2P) enabled device configured to wirelessly transmit a first request message and a second P2P-enabled device configured to wirelessly receive the first request message. In response to receiving the first request message, the second P2P-enabled device wirelessly transmits a second request message to the first P2P-enabled device, and if the first request message is rejected by the second P2P-enabled device, the second request message includes status control information indicating that the first request message is rejected. In addition, if the first request message is to be cancelled, the first P2P-enabled device transmits another request message to the second P2P-enabled device with status control information indicating that the first request message has been cancelled.

Mechanism to enable rejection and cancellation of request actions from wireless peer-to-peer devices

Systems and methods are presented for connecting related applications over a peer-to-peer wireless connection using a wireless interface module that minimizes the requirements for an application to initiate a wireless connection with another device. In some embodiments, a wireless interface module may be incorporated into mobile devices to provide a simplified instruction set requirement for an application to initiate a wireless connection.
