In this phase, the Wi-Fi connection is established. During the negotiation phase, one of the P2P devices is selected as GO. This GO device starts to transmit beacons on the operational channel and waits for the connection from the second P2P device. The second P2P device knows the GO operational channel from the search phase, which allows it to start the connection immediately after the negotiation phase. The connection process is similar to the standard WPS connection process, which consists of two phases: creating a security key and a connection using this key, as with WPA2-PSK authentication. When the connection has been established, the devices operates similarly to a regular Wi-Fi station and AP, while having additional P2P functionality and the power save capabilities, if needed.
