Operation optimization for trigger-based instant communication

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• processing circuitry in communication with the memory, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• detect an out-of-band (OOB) triggering event;
• in response to the detection of the OOB triggering event, activate a wireless interface configured for peer-to-peer communications;
• generate instructions to tune the wireless interface to a first discovery channel, wherein the first discovery channel is based, at least in part, on information exchanged during the out-of-band triggering event;
• generate instructions to transmit one or more discovery messages over the wireless interface on the first discovery channel substantially immediately after activation of the wireless interface to aid in discovery of a neighboring wireless device;
• and
• generate instructions to perform accelerated service discovery over the wireless interface with the neighboring wireless device.

A non-transitory computer readable memory medium storing program instructions executable by processing circuitry of a wireless device to:

• detect an out-of-band (OOB) triggering event, wherein detection of the OOB triggering event includes exchange of information associated with a first discovery channel;
• in response to the detection of the OOB triggering event, activate a wireless interface configured for peer-to-peer communications, wherein activation of the wireless interface includes tuning the wireless interface to the first discovery channel;
• transmit one or more discovery messages over the wireless interface on the first discovery channel substantially immediately after activation of the wireless interface to aid in discovery of a neighboring wireless device;
• and
• perform accelerated service discovery over the wireless interface with the neighboring wireless device.
