RECIPROCITY DETECTION AND UTILIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR BEAMFORMING TRAINING

摘要

Reciprocity detection and utilization techniques for beamforming training are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a station (STA) comprising logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to perform an initiator transmit sector sweep (TXSS) to select an initiator transmit (TX) sector, perform a beamforming reciprocity test using the selected initiator TX sector, and determine whether to perform directional reception using a reciprocal initiator receive (RX) sector for the initiator TX sector based on an outcome of the beamforming reciprocity test. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
