Beamforming report structure

A method for wireless communications, comprising:

• receiving one or more frames, collectively having one or more training fields allowing one or more stations to calculate channel information and an indication of resources for the one or more stations to use for feeding back the channel information via a report, wherein:
• the one or more frames comprise information indicating one or more resource units (RUs) for which the channel information is requested;
• and
• each RU comprises one or more tones;
• receiving signaling providing an indication of types of channel information parameters to include in the report;
• generating the channel information for the one or more RUs based on the one or more training fields;
• and
• transmitting the channel information via the report, wherein the report includes a plurality of channel information parameters for each of the one or more RUs, and the one or more channel information parameters are based on the indicated types of channel information parameters.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the memory and configured to:
• generate one or more frames, collectively having one or more training fields allowing one or more stations to calculate channel information and an indication of resources for the one or more stations to use for feeding back the channel information via a report, wherein the one or more frames comprise information indicating one or more resource units (RUs) for which channel information is requested and each RU comprises one or more tones;
• transmit the one or more frames and an indication of the types of channel information parameters to include in the report;
• and
• receive, on the indicated resources, the channel information from at least one of the stations calculated for the one or more RUs based on the one or more training fields, wherein:
• the channel information is received via the report;
• the report includes a plurality of channel information parameters for each of the one or more RUs;
• and
• the plurality of channel information parameters are based on the indicated types of channel information parameters.
