Abstract
A first device transmits a first packet to a second device, the first packet including a first value indicative of a priority for the first device to become a master in a peer-to-peer (P2P) wireless communication network. The first device receives a second packet transmitted by the second device, wherein the second packet includes a second value indicative of a priority for the second device to become the master in the P2P wireless communication network. The first device compares the first value with the second value, and determines whether the first device is to become the master or a client in the P2P wireless communication network based on the comparison of the first value with the second value.
