Abstract

For example, an Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit (EDMG) initiator station (STA) of a Beam Refinement Protocol (BRP) Transmit (TX) Sector Sweep (SS) (TXSS) may be configured to, during an initiator BRP TXSS, transmit one or more initiator EDMG BRP-TX packets to an EDMG responder STA; during a responder BRP TXSS following the initiator BRP TXSS, to receive one or more responder EDMG BRP-TX packets from the EDMG responder STA; and to transmit to the EDMG responder STA a BRP frame including feedback based on measurements on the one or more responder EDMG BRP-TX packets.
