Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an advertising device (310) in a wireless communication network. Embodiments include a method implemented by the advertising device (310) comprising transmitting an advertisement message (340) from the advertising device (310) over a first channel (330). An advertisement message (340) advertises that the advertising device (310) is available to connect with one or more other devices in the wireless communication network (300). The method also comprises, after transmitting the advertisement message (340), receiving at the advertising device (310) a connection request message (360) from a requesting device (320) in the wireless communication network (300) over a second channel (350) different than the first channel (330). A connection request message (360) requests the advertising device to connect with the requesting device. Embodiments also include a requesting device (320) in a wireless communication network and methods implemented by a requesting device (320).
