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 method of wireless communication, comprising:
 wirelessly receiving, by a first P2P-enabled device (first device) from a second P2P enabled device (second device), a first request;   wirelessly transmitting, from the first device to the second device, a first response to the first request, the first response indicating the first request was successfully received;   prompting a user of the first device to accept or reject the first request;   obtaining an indication of an acceptance or rejection by the user;   wirelessly transmitting, from the first device to the second device, a second request indicating the acceptance or rejection by the user; and   wirelessly receiving, by the first device from the second device, a second response indicating whether the second request was successfully received;   wherein the second request and the second response each include a status code attribute;   wherein the status code attribute in the second request is set to indicate FAIL if the user rejected the first request;   wherein the status code attribute in the second response is set to indicate SUCCESS if the second request was received successfully.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving a third request by the first device from the second device, the third request indicating CANCEL; and   transmitting a third response from the first device to the second device, the third response indicating the third request was successfully received.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first request, first response, second request, and second response each operate in accordance with an IEEE 802.11 Standard. 
     
     
         4 . A computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions physically embodied thereon which, when executed by at least one processor, causes performance of operations comprising:
 wirelessly receiving, by a first P2P-enabled device (first device) from a second P2P enabled device (second device), a first request;   wirelessly transmitting, from the first device to the second device, a first response to the first request, the first response indicating the first request was successfully received;   prompting a user of the first device to accept or reject the first request;   obtaining an indication of acceptance or rejection from the user;   wirelessly transmitting, from the first device to the second device, a second request indicating the acceptance or rejection by the user; and   wirelessly receiving, by the first device from the second device, a second response indicating whether the second request was successfully received;   wherein the second request and the second response each include a status code attribute;   wherein the status code attribute in the second request is set to indicate FAIL if the user rejected the first request;   wherein the status code attribute in the second response is set to indicate SUCCESS if the second request was received successfully.   
     
     
         5 . The medium of  claim 4 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 wirelessly receiving a third request by the first device from the second device, the third request indicating CANCEL; and   wirelessly transmitting a third response from the first device to the second device, the third response indicating the third request was successfully received.   
     
     
         6 . The medium of  claim 4 , wherein the first request, first response, second request, and second response each operate in accordance with an IEEE 802.11 Standard. 
     
     
         7 . A first device for wireless communication, comprising:
 at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one transceiver, wherein the at least one processor, memory, and transceiver are configured to:   wirelessly receive, from a second device for wireless communication, a first request;   wirelessly transmit, from the first device to the second device, a first response to the first request, the first response indicating the first request was successfully received;   prompt a user of the first device to accept or reject the first request;   obtain an indication of an acceptance or rejection by the user;   wirelessly transmit, from the first device to the second device, a second request indicating the acceptance or rejection by the user; and   wirelessly receive, by the first device from the second device, a second response indicating whether the second request was successfully received;   wherein the second request and the second response each include a status code attribute;   wherein the status code attribute in the second request is to be set to indicate FAIL if the user rejected the first request;   wherein the status code attribute in the second response is to be set to indicate SUCCESS if the second request was received successfully.   
     
     
         8 . The first device of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one transceiver are configured to:
 wirelessly receive a third request from the second device, the third request indicating CANCEL; and   wirelessly transmit a third response from the first device to the second device, the third response indicating the third request was successfully received.   
     
     
         9 . The first device of  claim 7 , wherein the first request, first response, second request, and second response each operate in accordance with an IEEE 802.11 Standard.
