Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods peer-to-peer connection session setup. For example, a first peer-to-peer device may set a waiting timer to count a waiting period during a connection session setup of a session with a second peer-to-peer device; and during the waiting period, check whether the second peer-to-peer device is in the connection session setup by transmitting a probe request to the second peer-to-peer device, the probe request including an Information (Info) attribute.

Apparatus, system and method of peer-to-peer connection session setup

Described herein are methods and devices to provide support for a hidden SSID in an 802.11ad or directional multi-gigabit (DMG) wireless network. An access point (AP) of the DMG network may be configured to explicitly signal the hidden SSID configuration by sending probe responses that signal the hidden SSID configuration and/or signaling the hidden SSID configuration in DMG beacons transmitted by the AP.

Support for hidden SSID in DMG networks

For example, a first wireless station may be configured to transmit a beacon frame over a directional wireless communication band during a Beacon Transmission Interval (BTI), the beacon frame including a field including a type value to indicate a type of one or more wireless stations to respond to the beacon frame; and to process a Sector Sweep (SSW) frame from a second wireless station of a type corresponding to the type value during an Association Beamforming Training (A-BFT) period following the BTI.
