RADIO COMMUNICATION DEVICES AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING WIRELESS PEER-TO-PEER DISCOVERY

A mobile communication device may include a radio transceiver and a baseband processing circuit adapted to interact with the radio transceiver to transmit and receive radio signals. The baseband processing circuit may be configured to provide target criteria to a proxy discovery device, the target criteria characterizing a desired wireless connection of the mobile communication device, receive a proxy report from the proxy discovery device detailing discovery results that satisfy the target criteria, and select a provider device that satisfies the target criteria to establish a wireless connection with based on the proxy report.
