For example, a first STA may be configured to transmit to a second STA a message including a first value to indicate an available memory size at the first STA at a beginning of a TXOP, and a second value to indicate a maximal length of an A-MPDU transmission during the TXOP; to receive an initial A-MPDU from the second STA during the TXOP, a length of the initial A-MPDU is not longer than the first value; to determine a capacity value based on a current available memory size at the first STA, the capacity value to indicate whether the second STA is to be allowed to send to the first STA a subsequent A-MPDU having a length which is not longer than the second value; and to transmit to the second. STA an Ack including a buffer capacity field including the capacity value.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to a time division duplex (TDD) antenna sector switch. A device may determine one or more antenna sector configurations based on TDD beamforming, wherein the one or more antenna sector configurations are associated with first antenna sectors used to communicate with a first station device (STA). The device may initiate a TDD sector switch with the first STA to switch from the one or more first antenna sectors to one or more second antenna sectors. The device may cause to send, to the first STA, an action frame comprising TDD sector setting parameters associated with the TDD sector switch. The device may identify a response frame received from the first STA, wherein the response frame comprises the TDD sector setting parameters. The device may perform the TDD sector switch by switching from the one or more first antenna sectors to the one or more second antenna sectors.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of a Fast Basic Service Set (BSS) Transition (FT). For example, a wireless station (STA) may be configured to process at least one frame from at least one advertiser Access Point (AP) over a first frequency band while the STA is associated with a current AP over the first frequency band, the frame including a Multiband Mobility Domain Element (MMDE) corresponding to a target AP; and to transmit to the advertiser AP an FT authentication request frame over the first frequency band to request an FT from the current AP on the first frequency band to the target AP on the second frequency band, the FT request frame including the MMDE corresponding to the target AP.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of selectively responding to wireless communication transmissions. For example, an apparatus may include a wireless communication unit to allocate at least one association beamforming training (A-BFT) period, to receive a responder beamforming transmission from a responder device during the A-BFT period, to transmit to the responder device a feedback transmission in response to the responder beamforming transmission, and to set a responder filtering period extending over one or more successive A-BFT periods, wherein the wireless communication unit is to ignore one or more responder beamforming transmissions from the responder device during the filtering period.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of wireless communication to a plurality of wireless stations. For example, a wireless station may be configured to assign to a plurality of data units a respective plurality of increasing sequence numbers (SNs); and to transmit one or more directional transmission sequences in one or more respective directions over a directional frequency band.

Logic may enable communication between stations in the presence of interference. Logic may communicate with the station in the presence of interference, the interference from a communication between other stations comprising a first network allocation vector (NAV) reminder, by entering a mode in which a Control Physical layer (PHY) modulation and coding scheme (MCS) is enabled and a Single Carrier PHY MCS is disabled. Logic may enable the Single Carrier PHY MCS in response to receipt of a clear-to-send (CTS) or an expiration of a CTS timeout. Logic may determine an active time remainder during a Contention-based access period. Logic may determine a time to access a channel in response to receipt of the Denial to Send and based upon a predefined, maximum inactivity time. Logic may remain beamformed while the apparatus is in the Control PHY mode.
