Millimeter-wave communication station and method for multiple-access

摘要

Method and apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising: receiver circuitry configured to receive, during a beacon interval, an announcement of an indication of a number of sector-sweep slots, the sector-sweep slots to occur in a subsequent association beamforming training period (A-BFT) during the same beacon interval; processing circuitry configured to use a random backoff procedure to select one of the slots; and transmitter circuitry configured to transmit a reverse sector sweep during the selected slot.
