Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are provided that reduce delay in establishing connectivity between wireless devices when either device detects a session overlap condition during a wireless network setup. In response to detecting the session overlap condition at a first node, the first node made transmit a notification to a second node to switch from the first setup procedure to a second setup procedure using a vendor specific information element.
Claims21
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- detecting, at a first node, a session overlap condition during a wireless network setup for a second node utilizing a first setup procedure;
- in response to detecting the session overlap condition, transmitting to the second node a notification to switch from the first setup procedure to a second setup procedure using a vendor specific information element, wherein the second setup procedure comprises a personal identification number (PIN) setup procedure;
- generating a PIN associated with the second setup procedure in response to detecting the session overlap condition, wherein the PIN is generated using a function common to the first node and the second node;
- receiving a second PIN from the second node;
- comparing, internally at the first node, the PIN generated at the first node to the second PIN received from the second node;
- and
- establishing a secure connection between the first node and the second node using the generated PIN based at least in part on the comparing the PIN generated at the first node to the second PIN received from the second node.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- an overlap condition detector to detect, at a first node, a session overlap condition during a wireless network setup between the first node and a second node utilizing a first setup procedure;
- a notification manager to, in response to detecting the session overlap condition, transmit to the second node a notification to switch from the first setup procedure to a second setup procedure using a vendor specific information element, wherein the second setup procedure comprises a personal identification number (PIN) setup procedure;
- and
- a P2P connection manager to:
- generate a PIN associated with the second setup procedure in response to detecting the session overlap condition, wherein the PIN is generated using a function common to the first node and the second node,
- receive a second PIN from the second node,
- compare, internally at the first node, the PIN generated at the first node to the second PIN received from the second node, and
- establish a secure connection between the first node and the second node using the generated PIN based at least in part on the comparing the PIN generated at the first node to the second PIN received from the second node.
