Abstract

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of communicating a Single-User (SU) Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission. For example, a first wireless communication station may be configured to transmit a Request to Send (RTS) to a second wireless communication station via a plurality of SU MIMO Transmit (Tx) sectors of the first wireless communication station, the RTS to establish a Transmit Opportunity (TXOP) to transmit an SU-MIMO transmission to the second wireless communication station, a control trailer of the RTS including an indication of an intent to transmit the SU-MIMO transmission to the second wireless communication station; and to transmit the SU-MIMO transmission to the second wireless communication station, upon receipt of a Clear to Send (CTS) from the second wireless communication station indicating that the second wireless communication station is ready to receive the SU-MIMO transmission.
