20130132500 | SELECTION OF A MASTER IN A PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - A system, apparatus and method for selecting master devices in a peer-to-peer communication environment. Devices select a master to facilitate their synchronization, and rendezvous according to a schedule of availability windows broadcast by the master as part of periodic synchronization frames. Devices capable of serving as master advertise their selection metrics, which are converted into a master preference value by a selection algorithm applied uniformly by all devices in the environment. Individual devices may identify the best local master and synchronize to it, yielding a cluster of synchronized peers. Clusters may then be synchronized to masters at further range. Individual devices conserve power by being automatically synchronized instead of having to individually discover other devices and services, and can power off their radios without sacrificing discoverability. Synchronization and peer-to-peer communication as provided herein coexists with other device demands, such as Bluetooth® operations, infrastructure-based communications and so on. | 2013-05-23 |

Devices select a master to facilitate their synchronization, and rendezvous according to a schedule of availability windows broadcast by the master. Devices may attend some or all of the availability windows, during which they may send and receive unicast and/or multicast messages. Individual devices conserve power by being automatically synchronized instead of having to individually discover other devices and services, and can power off their radios without sacrificing discoverability. Synchronization and peer-to-peer communication as provided herein coexists with other device demands, such as Bluetooth® operations, infrastructure-based communications and so on. | 2013-05-23 |
20130132502 | SELECTION OF SYNCHRONIZATION STATIONS IN A PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - A system, apparatus and method for selecting one or more synchronization stations, or masters, in a peer-to-peer communication environment. Synchronization (or sync) stations broadcast periodic synchronization frames to advertise future availability windows, during which devices rendezvous for discovery and communication. Devices that can act as sync stations advertise preference values, which indicate their preference or suitability for the role. All devices execute the same algorithm to sort the preference values and identify a root sync station and any number of branch sync stations; leaf devices synchronize with the root or a branch sync station. This passive synchronization scheme allows individual devices to conserve power, because they need not actively discover other devices and services, and can power off their radios for periods of time without sacrificing discoverability. Synchronization and peer-to-peer communication as provided herein coexist with other device demands, such as Bluetooth® operations and infrastructure-based communications. | 2013-05-23 |
