2.2 PSP Client

Once the device has become a client as a result of the negotiation, it acts like a standard Wi-Fi station. An additional P2P device cannot be connected to it. The P2P client is subject to the GO instructions, such as starting a power save period. The client device may terminate the P2P connection similarly to the GO device and return to the device state, while the GO device, if only connected to this client, continues to operate as GO for the predefined period of typically two minutes.

When the devices wish to re-establish connection, they must complete the whole process staring from negotiation, WPS provisioning, and WPA2 connection. However, if the P2P devices have a special P2P “persistent” capability, they can omit the long WPS section and immediately use WPA2-PSK authentication for the connection.
