Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to techniques (e.g., a device, a method, or a non-transitory computer readable medium storing code or instructions executable by one or more processors) for many-to-many communication techniques for coordinating communications among a group of mobile devices that can be performed by a first mobile devices. The first mobile device can transmit a request to establish outgoing pairwise ranging sessions with other mobile devices of the group. Each of the mobile devices of the group of mobile devices can establish ranging sessions with the other mobile devices. Each mobile device can act as both an initiating device and a responding device for the ranging session. The first mobile device can detect one or more redundant ranging sessions the mobile devices. The first mobile device can identify whether to keep or terminate each of the one or more redundant ranging sessions based on a common criterion.
