1. A wireless communication device, comprising:
one or more memories that store processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and configured to, in association with executing the code, cause the wireless communication device to:
receive, over a wireless channel, a null data packet announcement (NDPA) that includes sounding control information, wherein the sounding control information indicates a configuration of a transmitting device, and wherein the sounding control information includes a number indicative of one or more transmission parameters associated with one or more null data packets (NDPs);
receive, over the wireless channel, an NDP in accordance with the one or more transmission parameters; and
transmit a channel report including channel state information associated with the NDP and in accordance with the sounding control information, wherein the channel report includes the number indicative of the one or more transmission parameters associated with the one or more NDPs, and wherein the channel report includes timing information associated with the NDP.
