Adaptive signal strength thresholds for peer-to-peer synchronization and data communication

Abstract:

In some embodiments, one or more wireless stations operate to configure direct communication with neighboring mobile stations, e.g., direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. Embodiments of the disclosure relate to adapting a signal strength metric threshold. In some embodiments, the signal strength metric may be adapted (or adjusted) to establish or maintain data communications with peer devices.
