Abstract
One or more wireless stations may operate to configure direct communication with neighboring mobile stations, e.g., direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. A mechanism for wireless stations to mitigate medium congestion in discovery windows may include suppressing solicited publisher responses via an SRF for a first time period and resetting the SRF after the first time period in order to receive updates from peer devices.
