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 a mechanism for a device to request synchronization assistance from one or more neighboring peer devices.

Claim (Index 9):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a memory; and at least one processor in communication with the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:\n receive synchronization beacons from a first peer wireless station within one or more discovery windows, wherein the first peer wireless station is operating in a first state, wherein the first peer wireless station has an active peer-to-peer data session with the apparatus, and wherein the first peer wireless station and the apparatus are associated with a first cluster of devices; \n receive a notification from the first peer wireless station of a merge to a second cluster of devices, wherein, in response to the merge, the first peer wireless station is configured to transition from the first state to a second state, wherein, in response to the transition to the second state, the first peer wireless station is configured to discontinue transmissions of synchronization beacons; \n generate instructions to transmit a request for synchronization assistance; and \n receive, in response to the request, discovery beacons from the first peer wireless station in one or more data cluster management windows.
