Integrated millimeter wave beam (immw) training for multilink operation (mlo)

Abstract

This description provides methods, components, devices, and systems for integrated millimeter wave (IMMW) beam training for multilink operation. Some aspects relate more specifically to beamsweeping and reporting for associated 60 gigahertz (GHz) and sub-7 GHz links. In some implementations, an access point (AP) multilink device (MLD) can communicate with a non-AP MLD over a first omnidirectional link, such as a sub-7 GHz link, and a second directional link, such as a 60 GHz link. The AP MLD can use the omnidirectional link to configure one or more parameters and report feedback for the directional link. For example, the AP MLD can transmit, to the non-AP MLD over the first link, an indication of a timing synchronization function (TSF) value associated with the AP MLD's second link.The AP MLD and the non-AP MLD can use the TSF value to support beam training operations for the second link.
