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 16):
The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein:\n the processing system is further configured to detect a loss of a communication link with the wireless node and, after the detection, begin to participate in the second type of sector sweep procedure, at a time indicated in the at least one first frame if the communication link is not re-established by performing the partial sector sweep procedure.
