Zusammenfassung: | A method for selecting a new group owner in a Wi-Fi Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network including a current group owner and a plurality of nodes is disclosed. Any node can send the request the new group owner and the current group owner allocates time slot for each node in promiscuous mode. Further, each node sends a ping packet to the current group owner. Based on the received ping packet the current group owner computes a logical proximity and determines a logical centroid based on the computed logical proximity. The logical proximity is computed based on one or more parameters. Further, the current group owner selects the new group owner based on the logical centroid and advertises the new group owner to the plurality of nodes in the Wi-Fi P2P network. FIG. 1 |
