Certain embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods for increasing a capacity in a peer-to-peer (P2P) wireless network. The methods include generating a connectivity metric (CM) value indicative of a number of other wireless nodes of the P2P wireless network to which the wireless node is connected, receiving a query for services, and then responding to the query for services if the CM value is greater than a defined CM threshold value. The disclosed methods therefore allow well-connected nodes of the P2P wireless network to be exploited in a manner that increases the overall connectivity of all the nodes in the network.

1. A method for wireless communications by a wireless node in a peer-to-peer (P2P) wireless network, comprising: transmitting a connectivity metric (CM) value indicating a number of other wireless nodes of the P2P wireless network to which the wireless node is connected;receiving a query for services;responding to the query for services if the CM value is greater than a defined CM threshold value, wherein a higher CM value represents a higher number of wireless nodes in the P2P wireless network to which the wireless node is connected and a higher probability that the wireless node presents opportunities to discover services relative to a lesser CM value; anddetermining when to respond to the query based on an absolute value of a difference between the CM value and the CM threshold value, wherein the larger the difference, the greater the probability of a response in an earlier time slot, and the smaller the difference, the greater the probability the response is delayed for higher CM scored nodes to respond. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the CM threshold value is contained in the query for services. 3. A method for wireless communications, comprising: receiving, from one or more wireless nodes of a peer-to-peer (P2P) wireless network, a connectivity metric (CM) value associated with each of the one or more wireless nodes indicating a number of wireless nodes in the P2P wireless network to which each of the one or more wireless nodes is connected, wherein a higher CM value of the one or more wireless nodes represents a higher number of wireless nodes in the P2P wireless network to which the one or more wireless nodes is connected and a higher probability that the one or more wireless nodes presents opportunities to discover services relative to a lesser CM value; andtransmitting a service query to the one or more wireless nodes, if the received CM value exceeds a defined CM threshold value, wherein each of the one or more wireless nodes determines when to respond to the service query based on an absolute value of a difference between the CM value associated with each of the one or more wireless nodes and the defined CM threshold value, wherein the larger the difference, the greater the probability of a response in an earlier time slot, and the smaller the difference, the greater the probability the response is delayed for higher CM scored nodes to respond. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the service query is first transmitted to the wireless node associated with a highest CM value among the received CM values of all the wireless nodes. 5. An apparatus for wireless communications by a wireless node in a peer-to-peer (P2P) wireless network, comprising: logic for transmitting a connectivity metric (CM) value that indicates a number of other wireless nodes of the P2P wireless network to which the wireless node is connected;logic for receiving a query for services;logic for responding to the query for services if the CM value is greater than a defined CM threshold value, wherein a higher CM value represents a higher number of wireless nodes in the P2P wireless network to which the wireless node is connected and a higher probability that the wireless node presents opportunities to discover services relative to a lesser CM value; andlogic for determining when to respond to the query based on an absolute value of a difference between the CM value and the CM threshold value, wherein the larger the difference, the greater the probability of a response in an earlier time slot, and the smaller the difference, the greater the probability the response is delayed for higher CM scored nodes to respond. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the CM threshold value is contained in the query for services. 7.
