Abstract
A system for expediting connection establishment between apparatuses. In at least one example implementation, an apparatus may transmit discovery messages and may receive response messages. If any of the response messages are determined to satisfy predetermined response criteria, the apparatus may further determine if any of these response messages (e.g., the messages that were determined to satisfy the predetermined response criteria) are associated with apparatuses that satisfy selection criteria for the selection of multiple apparatuses that may, in some instances, operate together as a group. Apparatuses that are determined to satisfy the multiple selection criteria may then be selected, wherein connection establishment is expedited for the selected apparatuses.
