Embodiments of a millimeter-wave communication station and methods for station and information discovery in a millimeter-wave (mmW) basic-service set (BSS) are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a station-capability information element (IE) may be transmitted to a central coordinator of the BSS during association to provide station-capability information to the central coordinator. An information-request action frame may be transmitted to either discover or request information about the one or more other mmW stations. An information-response action frame may be from the target station that includes the requested information. Accordingly, mmW devices of the BSS may be able to discover each other and exchange station-capability information so that devices can communication directly. A simplified and unified frame-format scheme for both station and information discovery suitable for use in a mmW WPAN or in a mmW WLAN is thus provided. |
