Abstract:
A wireless communication apparatus/system/method utilizing directional transmission over a mmW band performing transmission of signals on a sub-6 GHz band that aids scanning for mmW mesh network discovery. A new node sends an assistance request on the sub-6 GHz band. The network node responds to the assistance request by sending an assistance response on the sub-6 GHz band. Upon exchanging the discovery assistance request and response with the network node on the sub-6 GHz band, the new node switches to the mmW band to discover neighbor(s). The network node upon exchanging the discovery assistance request and response on the sub-6 GHz band switches to mmW band to discover new nodes. Implementations can provide assistance directly or in response to cooperation between network stations.

Claim (Index 20):
The method as recited in  claim 17 , wherein said discovery assistance request and said discovery assistance response are exchanged by: (a) utilizing a specific discovery assistance request frame and discovery assistance response frame containing the associated fields of information for aiding the discovery process; or (b) incorporating said discovery assistance request and said discovery assistance response, along with said associated fields of information for aiding the discovery process, in other beacons or messages communicated over said second communications band; or (c) communicating said discovery assistance request and said discovery assistance response in other beacons or messages which trigger the communications of another beacon or message containing said associated fields of information for aiding the discovery process; or (d) communicating said discovery assistance request and said discovery assistance response along with said associated fields of information for aiding the discovery process, over on-channel tunnel (OCT) established between a first communication band MAC layer management entities; or (e) combinations of the above.
