P2P Provisioning


Purpose of provisioning is to get user credential (WPS PIN or PBC) for WPS procedure. P2P GO shall use the operating channel as indicated during GO negotiation.

When a P2P Device joins an existing P2P Group that it has not stored a credential for, it shall send a Provision Discovery Request frame with a single method set in the Config Methods attribute to indicate the desire to enroll in the network.

The Provision Discovery Request frame shall be sent to the P2P Device Address of the P2P Group Owner and on the operating channel of the P2P Group.

The P2P Group Owner may use this frame as a trigger that a device wants to enroll (maybe an indication can be shown to the user). A P2P Group Owner shall respond to a received Provision Discovery Request frame with a Provision Discovery Response frame.

Provision discovery request will have a single method set in the config methods  attribute to indicate the desire to enroll in the network.


Provision discovery response MAY have same method as in provision discovery request to indicate SUCCESS or shall be NULL to indicate failure.


Group formation bit in the P2P capability bitmap of the P2P capability attribute shall be set to 1 until provisioning succeeds.

On successful completion of provisioning P2P Group Owner shall set group formation bit is set to 0.
