1. A first device comprising:
communication circuitry configured to communicate with a second device;
one or more sensors configured to sense parameters associated with the first device; and
processing circuitry configured to:
determine a first time period when a likelihood of successful communications with the second device is higher than a second time period based on the sensed parameters, the sensed parameters being indicative of a likelihood that the first device is within a proximity of the second device, and the first time period being different than the second time period;
control the communication circuitry to transmit a do not advertise message to the second device, wherein the do not advertise message includes an instruction to the second device not to advertise for communication during the second time period; and
not receive, by the communication circuitry from the second device and in response to the do not advertise message, an advertisement from the second device during the second time period; and
control the communication circuitry to communicate with the second device during the first time period and refrain from communicating with the second device during the second time period.
