    Abstract: A wireless communication device for communicating across a wireless communication channel includes a memory storing instructions and one or more processors coupled to the memory to execute the instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are configured to determine a plurality of channel estimation measurements corresponding to a plurality of PPDUs received from an additional wireless communication device; determine a plurality of position measurements using information about the transmission of the plurality of PPDUs, wherein the position measurement is a position of the additional wireless communication device relative to the wireless communication device; select a subset of the plurality of channel estimation measurements based on the plurality of position measurements; and determine a change in a state of the wireless communication channel based on the selected subset of the plurality of channel estimation measurements.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a WLAN sensing frame exchange protocol are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a wireless communication device is configured to perform a WLAN sensing protocol within a basic service set (BSS) comprising one or more stations (STAs) (STA1 and STA2) including an access point station (AP STA). The WLAN sensing protocol comprises a discovery phase, a negotiation phase, a measurement phase, and a reporting phase. To perform the WLAN sensing protocol, the wireless communication device is configured to operate as either a sensing initiator or a sensing responder, and to operate as a sensing transmitter and/or a sensing receiver. Some 60 GHz embodiments relate to WLAN sensing in a PBSS or IBSS with DMG STAs.

    Abstract: For example, a first Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) (EDMG) station (STA) may be configured to exchange first and second Beam Refinement Protocol (BRP) setup frames with a second EDMG STA to initiate a BRP Transmit Sector Sweep (TXSS) over an aggregated channel bandwidth including an aggregation of a primary channel and a secondary channel in a frequency band above 45 GHz; during the BRP TXSS, transmit a plurality of BRP frames to the second EDMG STA over the primary channel and the secondary channel according to an EDMG control mode; determine a transmit beamforming configuration over the aggregated channel bandwidth based on BRP feedback from the second EDMG STA; and transmit an EDMG Physical Layer (PHY) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU) to the second EDMG STA over the aggregated channel bandwidth based on the transmit beamforming configuration.
