Abstract
A method and apparatus are described that allows a wireless device to detect and initiate communications with a selected second wireless device in a multi-device environment. Initiation of communications with a chosen second device is accomplished by generating a list of all available devices in sequential order according to device identifier and then communicating with each device in a sequential fashion until communications have been established with the selected second device.
