Radio resource measurement techniques in directional wireless networks

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• identifying, at a first station device, a directional channel quality request frame received from a device for collecting directional channel quality measurements associated with a first directional channel;
• identifying one or more fields of the directional channel quality request frame, the one or more fields comprising one or more measurement fields, wherein the one or more measurement fields indicate a device identification associated with the first station device, at least one measurement method, a measurement start time, and a measurement duration, the one or more fields further comprising a first indication of the first directional channel and indicating that the first station device is to perform the at least one measurement method to measure a quality of the first directional channel, and wherein the first station device is associated with a first period allocation;
• generate a directional channel quality response comprising a measurement report, wherein the measurement report includes one or more measured value for the first period allocation, the one or more measured values associated with an average noise plus interference power indicator (ANIPI) or a received signal-to-noise indicator (RNSI);
• cause to send the directional channel quality response to the device;
• and
• identify a second period allocation received from the device, wherein the second period allocation is based on the measurement report and the first period allocation, and overlaps with the first period allocation, and wherein the second period allocation is associated with a second station device.

A method comprising:

• generating, by one or more processors, a directional channel quality request frame comprising one or more measurement fields, wherein the one or more measurement fields indicate a device identification associated with a first station device, at least one measurement method, a measurement start time, and a measurement duration, and wherein the first station device is associated with a first period allocation;
• causing to send the directional channel quality request frame to the first station device, wherein the directional channel quality request frame further comprises a first indication of a first directional channel and indicates that the first station device is to perform the at least one measurement method to measure a quality of the first directional channel from the first station device to a second station device;
• identifying a first directional channel quality response received from the first station device, the response comprising a measurement report, wherein the measurement report includes one or more measured values for the first period allocation, the one or more measured values associated with an average noise plus interference power indicator (ANIPI) or a received signal-to-noise indicator (RNSI);
• and
• determining, based on the measurement report and the first period allocation, a second period allocation that overlaps with the first period allocation, wherein the second period allocation is associated with a second device.
