Abstract
An enhanced general superframe structure for peer-to-peer communications in proximity is disclosed, which may be implemented in connection with a variety of different channel access techniques. Additionally, methods are disclosed for enabling multiple P2PNWs in proximity operating under different control schemes, including virtually centralized control, distributed control, and hybrid control, to co-exist. A hyperframe structure is also disclosed, which may comprise two or more superframes, each superframe corresponding to a different one of the corresponding P2PNW control schemes.
