Methods, systems, and devices are described for establishing a virtual communication link including at least a first and second physical link between two devices. A single virtual packet queue of a device may receive one or more data packets to be transmitted via the virtual communication link. The single virtual packet queue may attach a virtual sequence number to each of the one or more data packets and send the one or more data packets to one or more of the first or the second physical link according to the assigned virtual sequence numbers. The one or more packets may then be communicated via the first and/or second physical links according to link specific sequence numbers, such as medium access control (MAC) sequence numbers, assigned to the one or more data packets by the first and/or second physical links.

Systems and methods are provided for performing multiple operations associated with a peer-to-peer network in parallel by using two or more independent transceivers. When performing a device discovery protocol, one transceiver may operate in a listen state and another transceiver may operate in a search state, so that an exchange of discovery messages may occur with a peer, regardless of whether the peer is in the listen state or the search state. In another aspect, one transceiver may be used to perform a device discovery protocol, allowing the other transceiver to maintain a communications link without interruption.
