Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of rescheduling beacon transmissions. For example, an apparatus may include a wireless communication unit to reschedule broadcasting of a plurality of beacons from a first beacon schedule to a second beacon schedule, comprising means for first beacon schedule including a first sequence of beacon transmission times separated by a predefined beacon interval period, and comprising means for second beacon schedule including a second sequence of beacon transmission times separated by the predefined beacon interval period, the second sequence of beacon transmission times being shifted from the first beacon transmission times by a delay period, and wherein the wireless communication unit is to transmit at least one information element including timing information of the second beacon schedule.
