1. A device of an initiator for performing time division duplex (TDD) sector switch, the device comprising memory and processing circuitry, the processing circuitry coupled to the memory, and the processing circuitry configured to:

  • determine one or more antenna sector configurations based on time division duplex (TDD) beamforming, wherein the one or more antenna sector configurations are associated with first antenna sectors used to communicate with a first station device (STA);

    initiate a TDD sector switch with the first STA to switch from the one or more first antenna sectors to one or more second antenna sectors;

    cause to send, to the first STA, an action frame comprising TDD sector setting parameters associated with the TDD sector switch;

    identify a response frame received from the first STA, wherein the response frame comprises the TDD sector setting parameters; and

    perform the TDD sector switch by switching from the one or more first antenna sectors to the one or more second antenna sectors.
