I am currently experimenting with WiFi-Direct (WiFiP2p) for a project I'm working on and wanted to know if one can create bridge between groups, thus joining them together?
Based upon the white paper released by the WiFi Alliance, it should be possible (though "The P2P Specification does not describe the mechanism for this capability – implementation is specific to the vendor"). I have looked through the internet and have found some answers (this, this, etc.) but I feel that none are particularly conclusive. Looking at Andoid's API hasn't helped much either.
The scenario I'm trying to create is having a client from one group connect to another group as well. Given 4 devices (A, B, C, D), where A and B are in a group, with A being group owner, and C and D are in a group managed by D:
- C connects to A. Thus 2 groups have been joined with C acting as a bridge.
Is this possible?
