Abstract

Exploratory beamforming training techniques for 60 GHz devices are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a station (STA) comprising logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to identify an exploratory link quality associated with an exploratory beamforming configuration for a directionally-beamformed wireless link, determine whether to revert to a previous beamforming configuration for the directionally-beamformed wireless link based on the exploratory link quality, and in response to a determination to revert to the previous beamforming configuration, send a frame comprising a rollback notification for the directionally-beamformed wireless link. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
