    Abstract: Embodiments of methods for scanning in a directive multi-gigabit network are generally described herein. An apparatus of a station may include processing circuitry configured to decode a sector sweep beacon received from an access point, encode for transmission a sector sweep feedback message to include a beam refinement protocol (BRP) request, and encode for transmission BRP responses to BRP signaling received from the access point. The processing circuitry may be further configured to decode a link margin feedback signal received from the access point to determine an access point link margin, measure signal information associated with the link margin feedback signal to determine a received link margin measurement, and encode signaling for association with the access point based on the access point link quality and the receive link quality.

    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of communicating a Physical Layer Convergence Procedure (PLCP) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU). For example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a wireless station to transmit a first PPDU to a second wireless station, the first PPDU including a preamble, a header, and a first PLCP Service Data Unit (PSDU), the header including a synchronization (sync) indicator to indicate that the second wireless station is to synchronize a second PPDU to the first PPDU; and to receive the second PPDU from the second wireless station, the second PPDU spaced from the first PPDU by less than a Short Inter Frame Space (SIFS), the second PPDU including a Byte Count, and a second PSDU, the second PPDU including no preamble or a short preamble, which is shorter than the preamble of the first PPDU.

    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of a Fast Basic Service Set (BSS) Transition (FT). For example, a wireless station (STA) may be configured to process at least one frame from at least one advertiser Access Point (AP) over a first frequency band while the STA is associated with a current AP over the first frequency band, the frame including a Multiband Mobility Domain Element (MMDE) corresponding to a target AP; and to transmit to the advertiser AP an FT authentication request frame over the first frequency band to request an FT from the current AP on the first frequency band to the target AP on the second frequency band, the FT request frame including the MMDE corresponding to the target AP.

    Abstract: Devices and methods of for wireless communication in a directional multi-gigabit (DMG) band are generally described. A device can detect a starting point of an awake window (AW). The device can encode a first announcement traffic indication message (ATIM) for directional transmission, after no more than a point coordination function (PCF) interframe space (PIFS) subsequent to the starting point, over a first beamformed link to a first station (STA). The device can encode a second ATIM for directional transmission subsequent to directional transmission of the first ATIM, within the AW and in a different direction than the directional transmission of the first ATIM, over a second beamformed link to a second STA. Other devices, systems and methods are also described.
