Claim:
1. A method for predicting an automatic gain control setting for long range discovery in a peer-to-peer network, comprising: receiving a short range discovery signal on a first set of resources used for a short range discovery process in the peer-to-peer network estimating an energy within each resource of the first set of resources; predicting an automatic gain control setting for a second set of resources used for a long range discovery process in the peer-to-peer network, the automatic gain control setting being predicted based at least in part on a predicted total energy, wherein the long range discovery process uses long range discovery signals transmitted at a higher power level than the short range discovery process, and wherein the predicted total energy is based at least in part on the estimated energy within each resource of the first set of resources; and receiving, after receiving the short range discovery signal, a long range discovery signal on the second set of resources using the predicated automatic gain control setting, wherein a number of resources in the first set of resources is less than a number of resources in the second set of resources.
