First Claim
1. A method of an apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- forming a peer-to-peer communication link with a second apparatus;
determining whether the apparatus has a transmit priority over the second apparatus in the peer-to-peer communication link;
determining, upon determining the apparatus has transmit priority over the second apparatus, whether to transmit in an assigned resource for securing the transmit priority over the second apparatus in the peer-to-peer communication link for transfer of data to the second apparatus based on a quality of service estimation, the assigned resource being in a first subset of contention resources of a set of contention resources, wherein the apparatus transmits in the assigned resource to indicate an intention to secure the transmit priority over the second apparatus in the peer-to-peer communication link; and
transmitting to the second apparatus in the assigned resource based on the determination of whether to transmit in the assigned resources;
wherein the quality of service estimation is obtained by;
obtaining a first quality of service requirement for the apparatus;
receiving a second quality of service requirement from the second apparatus while forming the peer-to-peer communication link, the second quality of service requirement being for the second apparatus;
determining whether the first quality of service requirement is satisfied for the apparatus; and
estimating whether the second quality of service requirement is satisfied for the second apparatus,wherein the quality of service estimation is based on a comparison of the satisfaction of the first quality of service requirement by the apparatus and the satisfaction of the second quality of service requirement by the second apparatus.

Abstract
A method, computer program product, and an apparatus for a transmit priority distributed backoff are provided. The apparatus forms a peer-to-peer communication link with a second apparatus. In addition, the apparatus determines whether to transmit in an assigned resource for securing a transmit priority for transfer of data to the second apparatus based on a quality of service estimation. Furthermore, the apparatus transmits to the second apparatus based on the determination. A method, computer program product, and an apparatus for a transmit priority token passing are provided. The apparatus forms a peer-to-peer communication link with a second apparatus. In addition, the apparatus determines a transmit priority within the link based on a quality of service estimation. The transmit priority is a priority of transmission between the apparatus and the second apparatus in the link.
