    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for performing ranging operations between two wireless devices without employing cyclic shift diversity (CSD) compensation techniques. For some embodiments, a first wireless device sends a negotiation request frame requesting the second wireless device to respond to subsequently received frames of a specified type using a selected one of the transmit chains in the second wireless device. Thereafter, the first wireless device sends a data frame to the second wireless device to initiate a ranging operation. The second wireless device sends a response frame of the specified type to the first wireless device using the selected one of the transmit chains.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and devices for obtaining round trip time measurements for use in location based services. In particular implementations, a fine timing measurement request message wirelessly transmitted by a first transceiver device to a second transceiver device may permit additional processing features in computing or applying a signal round trip time measurement. Such a signal round trip time measurement may be used in positioning operations.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for utilizing wireless devices for contact tracing, and more specifically for detecting a barrier between devices to enhance contact tracing applications. An example method for detecting a barrier between a first device and a second device includes determining, by the first device, a first range measurement with respect to the second device using a first positioning technique determining, by the first device, a second range measurement with respect to the second device using a second positioning technique that is different from the first positioning technique, and detecting the barrier between the first device and the second device based on the first range measurement and the second range measurement.

    Abstract: A communication device includes a processor configured to: transfer, via a transceiver, a wireless data signal within a communication frequency range; determine a capability of the communication device to measure a wireless radar signal received via the transceiver, the wireless radar signal having a frequency within the communication frequency range; transmit, via the transceiver to a network entity, a first indication of the capability of the communication device to measure the wireless radar signal, the first indication being indicative of a transmit power level of the wireless radar signal from a source of the wireless radar signal or a received power level of the wireless radar signal at the communication device; receive, via the transceiver, the wireless radar signal; determine a positioning measurement of the wireless radar signal; and transmit a second indication of the positioning measurement via the transceiver to the network entity.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some aspects, two devices may support signaling and messaging designs that support bandwidths that are greater than 160 MHz for ranging null data packets (NDPs). For example, various signaling and messaging designs may support a use of a 320 MHz bandwidth for ranging NDPs as part of a ranging measurement procedure, which may offer greater resolution than narrower bandwidths. The signaling and messaging designs may include one or more updates for a null data packet announcement (NDPA) frame, for a trigger frame, for session negation messages (such as one or both of an initial fine timing measurement (IFTM) frame and an IFTM request (IFTMR) frame), for segmentation techniques for ranging NDPs, or for any combination thereof.

    Abstract: Ranging operations may be performed between an initiator device and a responder device using data frames as opposed to fine timing measurement (FTM) frames or Null Data Packet (NDP) frames. An initiator device may request the responder device to perform a ranging operation. The responder device may transmit a data frame to the initiator device and may receive an acknowledgement (ACK) frame from the responder device. The responder device may transmit a second data frame to the initiator device that includes ranging measurement information for the previous message exchange, including a time of departure of the data frame and a time of arrival of the ACK frame. Because data frames are encrypted, the ranging measurement information is provided in a secure manner. Moreover, by including the ranging measurement information in data frames, throughput for the ranging procedure is improved.

The first FTM operation correspond to a first frequency band. The apparatus includes second communication circuitry configured to perform second FTM operations with respect to the device to generate second measurement data. The second FTM operations correspond to a second frequency band that is different than the first frequency band. The apparatus also includes a processor configured to compare the first measurement data and the second measurement data.
