Beacon orchestration for concurrent collaboration sessions in peer-to-peer (p2p) or mesh networks

A memory device having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor of an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to:

• receive, by a multi-beacon transmission scheduling (MBTS) service, a multicast collaboration beacon (MCB) in a peer-to-peer (P2P) or mesh network;
• and
• identify, by the MBTS service based upon the MCB, an identification of an application used in a collaboration session taking place in the P2P or mesh network.

A method, comprising:

• receiving multicast collaboration beacons (MCBs) broadcast in a peer-to-peer (P2P) or mesh network, each MCB associated with a different collaboration session;
• and
• joining a selected one of the different collaboration sessions using a Basic Service Set (BSS) color indication contained in at least one of the MBCs.
