Directional transmission techniques

摘要

Embodiments provide techniques for the transmission of broadcasts. For instance, an apparatus may include a sequence selection module, and multiple radiating elements. The sequence selection module selects sequences of directional transmission patterns, where each selected sequence corresponds to a time period. The multiple radiating elements wirelessly transmit a broadcast at the time periods in accordance with the selected sequences. The broadcast may include, for example, beacons, and/or a data broadcast, and/or a control broadcast and/or a management broadcast.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a sequence selection module to select first and second sequences of a plurality of directional transmission patterns, each of the plurality of directional transmission patterns corresponding to a sector; and a plurality of radiating elements to:
wirelessly transmit, in a first time interval, multiple beacon transmissions in accordance with the first sequence; andwirelessly transmit, in a second time interval, multiple beacon transmissions in accordance with the second sequence.
