Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of a Fast Basic Service Set (BSS) Transition (FT). For example, a wireless station (STA) may be configured to process at least one frame from at least one advertiser Access Point (AP) over a first frequency band while the STA is associated with a current AP over the first frequency band, the frame including a Multiband Mobility Domain Element (MMDE) corresponding to a target AP; and to transmit to the advertiser AP an FT authentication request frame over the first frequency band to request an FT from the current AP on the first frequency band to the target AP on the second frequency band, the FT request frame including the MMDE corresponding to the target AP.
