Various approaches enable a computing device (e.g., mobile phone, tablet computer, etc.), serving as a client to inform a group owner (GO) of a peer-to-peer (P2P) group in a Wi-Fi Direct network or other such network regarding the timing of the group owner's beacon schedule. Advantageously, this synchronization of the beacon schedule between the client and the GO can enable improved throughput and latency of the client device when the client device is in concurrent mode (i.e., when the P2P client is connected to two networks such as a legacy Wi-Fi network with an AP and a P2P network with a GO).
