    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, apparatuses, and systems related to network allocation vectors. A device is disclosed that may determine a first length of time corresponding to a first spatial reuse transmit opportunity (SR-TxOP) time period. The device may determine a second length of time corresponding to a transmit opportunity (TxOP) time period that starts when a request to send (RTS) frame is transmitted and ends after the first length of time ends. The device may cause to transmit the RTS frame, over the channel, to a first device. The device may determine that a clear to send (CTS) frame is received from the first device, the CTS frame comprising a first duration field equal to having a third length of time corresponding to a second transmission opportunity (SR-TxOP). The device may determine that the third length of time corresponds to a length of time between when the CTS frame was transmitted and when the first length of time ends. The device may determine that the third length of time is less than the second length of time. The device may cause to transmit a CTS to self frame, over the channel, comprising a second duration field equal to having a fourth length of time, wherein the fourth length of time corresponds to a length of time between when the CTS to self frame is transmitted and when the first length of time ends.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a station (STA) and method for communication on primary and secondary channel resources are generally described herein. The STA may transmit a grant frame to indicate a transmission of a data payload by the STA during a grant period. The grant frame may indicate whether the data payload is to be transmitted on primary channel resources or on secondary channel resources. The STA may transmit the data payload to a destination STA on the secondary channel resources when the grant frame indicates that the data payload is to be transmitted on the secondary channel resources. The grant frame may be transmitted on the primary channel resources and on the secondary channel resources when the grant frame indicates that the data payload is to be transmitted on the secondary channel resources.

    Abstract: Apparatus, computer readable media, and methods for enhanced beamforming training in a wireless local area network are disclosed. An apparatus of a access point or station is disclosed. The apparatus including processing circuitry where the processing circuitry is configured to encode an EBRP packet comprising a first portion comprising an indication of a first number of transmit antenna training settings (N-TX), and an indication of a second number of receive training subfields per N-TX settings (N-RX), and a second portion comprising a third number of training subfields. The third number may be less than or equal to N-TX times N-RX. The processing circuitry may be configured to cause the first portion of the EBRP packet to be transmitted and cause the second portion to be transmitted, where two or more of the third number of training subfields are to be transmitted simultaneously using different antennas and orthogonal sequences.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to a multiuser multiple-input and multiple-output (MU-MIMO) setup frame. A device may generate an MU-MIMO setup frame comprising a physical layer (PHY) header and a media access control (MAC) header, the PHY header comprising an indication of a control trailer after the MAC header, the MAC header comprising a first receive address (RA) field comprising one or more first device identifiers (IDs), and the control trailer comprising a second RA field comprising one or more second device IDs. The device may transmit the MU-MIMO setup frame over a directional multi-gigabit (DMG) channel.

    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of wireless transmission over a bonded channel. For example, a wireless station may be configured to determine a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) busy state of a secondary channel in a directional wireless communication band upon detecting transmission of a first packet over the secondary channel; to determine a CCA idle state of the secondary channel upon detecting transmission of a second packet indicating an end of a transmission sequence including the first packet; and to process transmission of a wireless transmission over a bonded channel including a primary channel and the secondary channel, if the CCA state of the secondary channel and a CCA state of the primary channel are idle during at least a back-off and an InterFrame Space (IFS).
