wherein the status code comprises information regarding a result of a service information request, and

wherein the service information comprises service information requested based on the service information type.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the service information comprises at least one of device capability information, video profile information, audio profile information, transport capability information, system information, display capability information, and three-dimensional (3D) capability information, and an identifier thereof.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selectively establishing a layer 2 secure connection to the second WFD device based on information regarding services supported by the second WFD device, which is included in the service discovery response frame.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first WFD device and the second WFD device are Wi-Fi display certified devices.

7. A method for a second Wi-Fi direct (WFD) device to discover a Wi-Fi display service in a WFD network, the method comprising:

receiving, performed by at least one processor, a service discovery request frame for discovering a service supported by the second WFD device of the WFD network from a first WFD device;

generating, performed by the at least one processor, a service discovery response frame in response to the service discovery request frame; and

transmitting, performed by the at least one processor, the service discovery response frame to the first WFD device,

wherein the service discovery request frame and the service discovery response frame are generated by using a generic advertising service (GAS) initial request frame of 802.11u and a GAS initial response frame of 802.11u, respectively, and

wherein the GAS initial request frame comprises information regarding a service protocol type, and the information of the service protocol type comprises an identifier for identifying a Wi-Fi display protocol.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the GAS initial request frame comprises a service information type and a service name,

wherein the service information type comprises an identifier corresponding to any one of information regarding a service name, service information detail, and vendor expansion information, and

wherein the service name comprises a name of a corresponding service of which service information is to be requested.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the GAS initial response frame further comprises the service protocol type, a service information type, a status code, and service information,

wherein the service protocol type comprises an identifier for identifying the Wi-Fi display service or an identifier of a vendor expansion protocol,

wherein the service information type comprises an identifier corresponding to any one of information requested from among a service name, service information detail, and vendor expansion information,

wherein the status code comprises information regarding a result of a service information request, and

wherein the service information comprises service information requested based on the service information type.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the service information comprises at least one of device capability information, video profile information, audio profile information, transport capability information, system information, display capability information, and three-dimensional (3D) capability information, and an identifier thereof.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first WFD device and the second WFD device are Wi-Fi display certified devices.

12. A first Wi-Fi direct (WFD) device in a WFD network, the first WFD device comprising:

a frame generator comprising a processor which generates a service discovery request frame for discovering a service supported by a second WFD device in the WFD network;

a frame transmitter which transmits the service discovery request frame to the second WFD device; and

a frame receiver which receives a service discovery response frame from the second WFD device in response to the service discovery request frame,

wherein the service discovery request frame and the service discovery response frame are generated by using an 802.11 u generic advertising service (GAS) initial request frame and an 802.11u GAS initial response frame, respectively, and

wherein the GAS initial request frame comprises information regarding a service protocol type, and the information of the service protocol type comprises an identifier for identifying a Wi-Fi display protocol.

13. A second Wi-Fi direct (WFD) device in a WFD network, the second WFD device comprising:

a frame receiver which receives a service discovery request frame for discovering a service supported by the second WFD device of the WFD network from a first WFD device;

a frame generator comprising a processor which generates a service discovery response frame in response to the service discovery request frame; and

a frame transmitter which transmits the service discovery response frame to the first WFD device,

wherein the service discovery request frame and the service discovery response frame are generated by using an 802.11u generic advertising service (GAS) initial request frame and an 802.11u GAS initial response frame, respectively, and
