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.

A communication device configured to operate in a Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) operation mode and Single-input Single output (SISO) operation mode and operation mode switching method are described. The communication device can include a transceiver associated with a first antenna, and configured to wirelessly communicate via the first antenna using a first communication technology; a second antenna associated with a second communication technology different from the first communication technology; and a controller coupled to the transceiver. The controller can be configured to: determine communication information corresponding to the first and the second communication technologies; and control the communication device to switch an operation mode of the communication device between the MIMO operation mode and the SISO operation mode based on the determined communication information.

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.

Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of communicating a non-data Physical Layer Convergence Procedure (PLCP) Protocol Data Unit (PPDU). For example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a wireless station to transmit a non-data PPDU; and to transmit a control frame separated from the non-data PPDU by a Reduced Inter-Frame Space (RIFS).

A docking station and a method for establishing a wireless connection to a device in which the docking station is configured to use the distance between the device and the docking station in the admission and retention control decision. This effectively prevents the wireless docking session from initiating, or drops an existing session, when the user is determined to be outside of the effective work area as determined by the docking station.

Techniques for interference mitigation in directional multi-gigabit networks are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to send, from a source device, a first reverse direction grant (RDG) indicating that a sink device may transmit to the source device, detect interference with a received sink device data transmission at the source device, select a grant deferral period, and upon conclusion of the grant deferral period, send a second RDG indicating that the sink device may transmit to the source device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of communicating aggregate data units. For example, a device may include a wireless communication unit to communicate an aggregate data unit including a plurality of data units in an increasing order of sequence numbers assigned to the data units, such that a first data unit having a first sequence number always precedes a second data unit having a second sequence number, greater than the first sequence number.

Disclosed in some examples is a method including receiving a downlink data packet over a first wireless link using a first wireless protocol during communications over a second wireless link using a second wireless protocol the first and second wireless protocols being different; and sending a control packet in response to the downlink data packet over the first wireless link using a reduced power setting during the communications over the second wireless link, the reduced power setting being less than a non-control packet power setting.

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of multiple-stream wireless communication. For example, an apparatus may include a wireless communication unit to perform wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) communication according to a time allocation scheme defining a plurality of scheduled allocations (teeth) for wireless P2P communication within a wireless communication network based on a predefined priority scheme, which assigns a plurality of priorities to a plurality of streams corresponding to a plurality of service types, wherein a tooth may be scheduled for P2P communication between a pair of endpoints of the wireless communication network, and wherein the tooth includes one or more contiguous portions (slices), a slice having a predefined duration allocated for communication of one or more streams having the same priority.

Device, system and method of multiple-stream wireless communication

A system and method are provided to facilitate establishing WiGig communications links between WiGig-enabled wireless devices and WiGig PBSS Control Points and Access Points (PCP/AP). The PCP/AP transmits beacons that are intended to assist the wireless devices in locating the PCP/AP. Based on the directional nature of WiGig communications, the beacons are transmitted directionally in a number of sectors in multiple directions simultaneously or in sequence. When devices, such as wireless devices, attempting to connect via a PCP/AP, are positioned very close to the PCP/AP, the devices may be incapable of receiving the transmitted beacons because the low noise amplifier (LNA) located in the individual wireless device receiver may become saturated. The disclosed systems and methods broadcast the beacons at lower power according to different schemes at certain intervals to avoid saturating the LNAs.

Other embodiments are described and claimed.
