Abstract
A method and system for wireless data communication for peer wireless stations in a network is provided. A pair of peer wireless stations perform discovery on a predefined wireless communication channel to discover each other. Upon peer wireless stations successfully discovering one another, a wireless communication channel is selected to setup a connection between the peer wireless stations for data communication on the selected wireless communication channel. The peer wireless stations then perform connection setup and data communication over the selected wireless channel. In one implementation, the network comprises a wireless local area network (WLAN) for ad-hoc Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) peer-to-peer communication. Further, the peer wireless stations conduct millimeter wave (mmWave) directional data transmissions between the peer wireless stations on the selected wireless data communication channel.
