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

Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are directed to a first peer-to-peer (P2P) enabled device configured to wirelessly transmit a first request message and a second P2P-enabled device configured to wirelessly receive the first request message. In response to receiving the first request message, the second P2P-enabled device wirelessly transmits a second request message to the first P2P-enabled device, and if the first request message is rejected by the second P2P-enabled device, the second request message includes status control information indicating that the first request message is rejected. In addition, if the first request message is to be cancelled, the first P2P-enabled device transmits another request message to the second P2P-enabled device with status control information indicating that the first request message has been cancelled.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wireless system, comprising:
 a first peer-to-peer (P2P)-enabled device configured to wirelessly transmit a first request message containing a request requiring a response; and   a second P2P-enabled device configured to wirelessly receive the first request message,   wherein, upon receiving the first request message, the second P2P-enabled device wirelessly transmits a second request message to the first P2P-enabled device, and   wherein, if the request contained in the first request message is rejected by the second P2P-enabled device, the second request message includes status control information indicating that the first request message is rejected.   
     
     
         2 . The wireless system of  claim 1  wherein, if the request contained in the first request message is accepted by the second P2P-enabled device, the second request message omits the status control information. 
     
     
         3 . The wireless system of  claim 1  wherein, prior to transmitting the second request message, the second P2P-enabled device transmits a first response message to indicate waiting of an input responsive to the request contained in the first request message. 
     
     
         4 . The wireless system of  claim 1  wherein, the first P2P-enabled device transmits a second response message to the second P2P-enabled device to indicate acknowledgement of the rejection of the request. 
     
     
         5 . The wireless system of  claim 2  wherein, the first P2P-enabled device transmits a second response message to the second P2P-enabled device to indicate acknowledgement of the acceptance of the request. 
     
     
         6 . A wireless system, comprising:
 a first peer-to-peer (P2P)-enabled device configured to wirelessly transmit a first request message containing a request requiring a response; and   a second P2P-enabled device configured to wirelessly receive the first request message,   wherein, upon receiving an input indicating that the first request message is to be cancelled, the first P2P-enabled device transmits a second request message to the second P2P-enabled device that includes status control information indicating that the first request has been cancelled.   
     
     
         7 . The wireless system of  claim 6  wherein, prior to transmitting the second request message, the second P2P-enabled device transmits a first response message to indicate waiting of an input responsive to the request contained in the first request message. 
     
     
         8 . The wireless system of  claim 6 , wherein the second P2P-enabled device transmits a second response message to the first P2P-enabled device to indicate acknowledgement of the cancellation of the request. 
     
     
         9 . A wireless method, comprising:
 wirelessly transmitting a first request message by a first peer-to-peer (P2P) enabled device, the request message containing a request requiring a response;   wirelessly receiving the first request message by a second P2P-enabled device; and   wirelessly transmitting a second request message by the second P2P-enabled device to the first P2P-enabled device, in response to receiving the first request message,   wherein, if the request contained in the first request message is rejected by the second P2P-enabled device, the second request message includes status control information indicating that the first request message is rejected.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  wherein, if the request contained in the first request message is accepted by the second P2P-enabled device, the second request message omits the status control information. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9  wherein, prior to transmitting the second request message, transmitting, by the second P2P-enabled device, a first response message to indicate waiting of an input responsive to the request contained in the first request message. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , further including transmitting, by the first P2P-enabled device, a second response message to the second P2P-enabled device to indicate acknowledgement of the rejection of the request. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , further including transmitting, by the first P2P-enabled device, a second response message to the second P2P-enabled device to indicate acknowledgement of the acceptance of the request. 
     
     
         14 . A wireless method, comprising:
 wirelessly transmitting a first request message by a first peer-to-peer (P2P) enabled device, the request message containing a request requiring a response;   wirelessly receiving the first request message by a second P2P-enabled device; and   wherein, upon receiving an input indicating that the first request message is to be cancelled, transmitting, by the first P2P-enabled device, a second request message to the second P2P-enabled device that includes status control information indicating that the first request has been cancelled.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein, prior to transmitting the second request message, transmitting, by the second P2P-enabled device, a first response message to indicate waiting of an input responsive to the request contained in the first request message. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , further including transmitting, by the second P2P-enabled device, a second response message to the first P2P-enabled device to indicate acknowledgement of the cancellation of the request.
