Abstract
A method for management of multiple radio links for a wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) session is disclosed. The method can include a wireless communication device providing interface address information for a first radio interface and a second radio interface implemented on the wireless communication device to a peer device when establishing a wireless P2P session with the peer device; establishing a threshold for transitioning between the first radio interface and the second radio interface during the wireless P2P session; determining during the wireless P2P session that the threshold has been met; and in response to the threshold being met, signaling to the peer device to transition to the second radio interface, and using the second radio interface to continue the wireless P2P session.
