Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for a fragmented beamforming training procedure. For example, an apparatus for wireless communications may include a processing system configured to generate a plurality of first frames, each first frame comprising a preamble, a data field, and one or more beamforming training fields. The apparatus may also include a first interface configured to output the plurality of first frames for transmission using a first transmit beamforming sector for the preamble and data field of each the plurality of first frames and a different second transmit beamforming sector for each of the one or more beamforming training fields of the plurality of first frames, and a second interface configured to obtain a second frame comprising feedback generated based on the one or more beamforming training fields of the plurality of first frames.

Claim (Index 9):
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:\n a first interface configured to obtain a plurality of first frames, each first frame comprising a preamble, a data field, and at least one beamforming training field, wherein a same first transmit beamforming sector is used for transmitting the preamble and data field of each first frame and different second transmit beamforming sectors are used for the beamforming training fields of the first frames; a processing system configured to generate feedback based on the beamforming training fields in the plurality of first frames and generate a second frame with the feedback; and a second interface configured to output the second frame for transmission.
