Abstract
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.

39. An apparatus comprising:
a wireless communication unit to receive from an initiator device a beacon frame allocating an association beamforming training (A-BFT) period, to transmit to the initiator device a beamforming transmission during the A-BFT period, to receive from said initiator device a feedback transmission in response to said beamforming transmission, and to set a backoff period extending over one or more successive A-BFT periods, wherein said wireless communication unit is to stop responding to beacon frames from said initiator device during said backoff period. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A product including a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a machine, result in:
-
allocating at least one association beamforming training (A-BFT) period; receiving a responder beamforming transmission from a responder device during the A-BFT period; transmitting to said responder device a feedback transmission in response to said responder beamforming transmission; setting a responder filtering period extending over one or more successive A-BFT periods; and ignoring one or more responder beamforming transmissions from said responder device during said filtering period. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47)
