Abstract
Embodiments of an enhanced directional multi-gigabit (EDMG) station (STA), access point (AP), and method of communication are generally described herein. The EDMG STA may receive, from the AP, a Link Measurement Request Frame that includes a request for information for time division duplexing (TDD) rate adaptation. The EDMG STA may transmit a Link Measurement Response Frame that includes a Directional Multi Gigabit (DMG) Link Margin element that includes a Rate Adaption Control parameter. The DMG Link Margin element may be configurable to include one or more optional fields for the TDD rate adaptation and transmit power control. The Rate Adaptation Control parameter may indicate: a number of space time streams (STSs) for which information is included in the DMG Link Margin element; and whether the DMG Link Margin element includes the one or more optional fields.
