System and method of pre-pairing for a wireless peripheral device with contention arbitration for a plurality of potential host information handling systems

Abstract

A system and method for pre-pairing arbitration of a wireless peripheral device among a plurality of candidate host information handling systems comprising a hardware microcontroller executing code instructions of a pre-pairing host contention and arbitration module to transmit a first pairing proximity discovery beacon and a second pairing proximity beacon to the candidate host information handling systems, the first pairing proximity beacon having lower signal power than the second pairing proximity beacon, and to transmit an instruction to cease pairing to any candidate host information handling system failing to respond to the first pairing proximity beacon. The proximity distances for remaining candidate host information handling systems are determined based on received signal strength indicator values of the first pairing proximity discovery beacon and the second pairing proximity beacon to select a closest first candidate host information handling system and prompt pairing at that first candidate host information handling system.
