Abstract
A method for the multiple beamforming training and an apparatus using the same are provided. An initiator determines a candidate sector to be used for a transmission during a sector sweep. After the initiator exchanges with a responder an information request frame and an information response frame about the multiple beamforming training through the candidate sector, the responder performs a plurality of beam refinement protocol (BRP) processes using a plurality of polarized channels through the candidate sector.
