Mechanism to enable rejection and cancellation of request actions from wireless peer-to-peer devices

An apparatus of wireless device configured for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication services with one or more other peer devices of a wireless local area network (WLAN), the apparatus comprising:

• memory;
• and
• processing circuitry, configured to:
• encode a provision request frame for transmission to a peer device in accordance with a P2P communication technique, the provision request frame being a request to set up a P2P connection with the peer device for services of the peer device;
• decode a provision response frame to determine a status attribute indicator, the provision response frame in response to the provision request frame;
• and
• encode data for utilization of the services of the peer device over the P2P connection in response to an acceptance of the request,
• wherein an acceptance of the request is indicated if the provision response frame is received with the status attribute indicator indicating acceptance, and
• wherein an acceptance of the request establishes parameters for the P2P connection to allow the wireless device to encode data for utilization of the services of the peer device, the services comprising services to at least one of send, play, print or display content.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by processing circuitry of a wireless device to configure the device for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication services with one or more other peer devices of a wireless local area network (WLAN), the processing circuitry configured to:

• encode a provision request frame for transmission to a peer device in accordance with a P2P communication technique, the provision request frame being a request to set up a P2P connection with the peer device for services of the peer device;
• decode a provision response frame to determine a status attribute indicator, the provision response frame in response to the provision request frame;
• and
• encode data for utilization of the services of the peer device over the P2P connection in response to an acceptance of the request,
• wherein an acceptance of the request is indicated if the provision response frame is received with the status attribute indicator indicating acceptance, and
• wherein an acceptance of the request establishes parameters for the P2P connection to allow the wireless device to encode data for utilization of the services of the peer device, the services comprising services to at least one of send, play, print or display content.

An apparatus of wireless device configured for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication services with one or more other peer devices of a wireless local area network (WLAN), the apparatus comprising:

• memory;
• and
• processing circuitry, configured to:
• decode a provision request frame received directly to a peer device in accordance with a P2P communication technique, the provision request frame being a request to set up a P2P connection with the peer device for services of the wireless device;
• encode a provision response frame to include a status attribute indicator, the provision response frame being transmitted by the wireless device in response to the provision request frame;
• and
• receive encoded data from the peer device for utilization of the services of the wireless device over the P2P connection if the request is accepted,
• wherein an acceptance of the request is indicated if the provision response frame is immediately transmitted with the status attribute indicator indicating acceptance, and
• wherein the services comprise services to at least one of send, play, print or display content.
