Method and apparatus for performing short range wireless communication in communication system

A method of a second device in a communication system, the method comprising:

• transmitting a beacon signal to establish a wireless connection;
• if a confirmation message is received from a first device in response to transmitting the beacon signal, transmitting, to the first device, service information of the second device;
• receiving, from the first device, at least one of service information of the first device or connection information of the first device during establishing the wireless connection;
• determining a role of the second device as a host device based on the service information of the first device and a state of service context of the second device;
• and
• communicating, based on the determined role, with the second device through the wireless connection,
• wherein the service information includes at least one of information on another device connected to the second device or a role of the second device, and
• wherein the state of service context includes at least one of a type of a service provided by the first device or an application that is used by the first device, and
• wherein the first device has two role stacks for providing a host role as the host device and a peripheral role as a connection device operated under a control of the host device.

A first device in a communication system, the first device comprising:

• a processor configured to
• detect a second device to establish a wireless connection;
• and
• a transceiver operably connected to the processor, the transceiver configured to transmit, to the second device, a confirmation message,
• wherein:
• the processor is further configured to determine a role of the first device as a host device based on service information of the second device and a state of service context of the first device;
• and
• the transceiver is further configured to:
• receive, from the second device, the service information of the second device during establishing the wireless connection;
• and
• communicate, based on the determined role, with the second device through the wireless connection,
• wherein the service information includes at least one of information on another device connected to the second device or a role of the second device,
• wherein the state of service context includes at least one of a type of a service provided by the first device or an application that is used by the first device, and
• wherein the first device has two role stacks for providing a host role as the host device and a peripheral role as a connection device operated under a control of the host device.

A second device in a communication system, the second device comprising:

• a transceiver configured to:
• transmit a beacon signal to establish a wireless connection;
• if a confirmation message is received from a first device in response to transmitting the beacon signal, transmit, to the first device, service information of the second device;
• and
• receive, from the first device, at least one of service information of the first device or connection information of the first device during establishing the wireless connection;
• and
• a processor operably connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
• determine a role of the second device as a host device based on the service information of the first device and a state of service context of the second device;
• and
• control the transceiver to communicate, based on the determined role, with the second device through the wireless connection,
• wherein the service information includes at least one of information on another device connected to the second device or a role of the second device,
• wherein the state of service context includes at least one of a type of a service provided by the first device or an application that is used by the first device, and
• wherein the first device has two role stacks for providing a host role as the host device and a peripheral role as a connection device operated under a control of the host device.
