Abstract:
The present invention discloses a wireless communication device capable of establishing peer-to-peer connection passively or actively. The device conforms to an IEEE 802.11 standard, and comprises: a control block, a transmission circuit and a reception circuit. When the device intends to passively establish peer-to-peer connection, said control block generates a local-end peer-to-peer connection message which includes a local-end group owner intent but isn't generated in response to any known/detected device; said transmission circuit broadcasts a local-end peer-to-peer connection packet according to the message; and said reception circuit receives a connection-end peer-to-peer connection request from a connection-end for the first time after broadcasting the message, wherein the request includes a connection-end group owner decision related to the local-end group owner intent. Accordingly, after receiving the request, the wireless communication device functions as a master or a slave according to the decision, and then establishes the peer-to-peer connection with the first connection-end.
