Claim 0:
1. A station (STA) configured for beamforming (BF) training as a responder device with an initiator device, comprising:
a first plurality of antennas;
a transceiver, wherein the transceiver is configured to:
receive, via the first plurality of antennas from a second plurality of antennas of the initiator device, a first plurality of packets transmitted over first respective transmit (TX) sectors during an initiator beam refinement procedure (BRP) transmit sector sweep (TXSS);
transmit, to the initiator device via one or more antennas of the first plurality of antennas that performed better than one or more other antennas in the first plurality of antennas during the initiator BRP TXSS, a second plurality of packets during a responder BRP TXSS, wherein the second plurality of packets is configured to be transmitted from one or more antennas that performed better than one or more other antennas over one or more second respective TX sectors during the initiator BRP TXSS based on an indication that the STA is antenna reciprocal with the second plurality of antennas of the initiator device.
