Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for enhancing a beamforming training procedure. For example, according to certain aspects, devices may exchange information regarding the number of beamforming transmit sectors each device plans to use for both partial and full sector sweeps, as well as the number of receive antennas. The devices may also exchange timing information used to synchronize when the devices start to perform the partial and full sector sweeps, after detecting a lost link.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:\n a first interface configured to obtain, from a wireless node, at least one first frame indicating a first number of beamforming transmit sectors for the wireless node to use for a first type of sector sweep procedure and a second number of beamforming transmit sectors for the wireless node to use for a second type of sector sweep procedure; and a processing system configured to detect a loss of a communication link with the wireless node and, after the detection, participate in the first type of sector sweep procedure with the wireless node, according to the first number of transmit sectors.
