    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for using a location token to locate a mobile device in a mapped environment. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to identifying an AP in the environment using an AP location token. By finding a map from a map vendor which has a substantially identical map token, the AP and the map may be matched together. Once the AP is matched to the map, its exact location will be known. The location of a mobile device may be determined in relation to the AP's location. The same process may be used to identify the location of several APs on a map and thereby identify the location of the mobile device relative to the APs.

    Abstract: An apparatus for determining a distance to an object is provided. The apparatus includes a first transceiver configured to transmit a first radio frequency signal. Further, the apparatus includes a second transceiver configured to transmit a second radio frequency signal in response to receiving the first radio frequency signal. The apparatus additionally includes a processing circuit configured to determine the distance to the object based on a transmission time of the first radio frequency signal and a reception time, at the first transceiver, of a reflected component of the second radio frequency signal that is reflected by the object.

    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, devices, systems and methods of synchronizing time. For example, an apparatus may include a GNSS receiver to output GNSS measurements, and an output-timing signal including a plurality of pulses based on a clock of the GNSS receiver; an IMU to output inertial measurements, the IMU including a magnetometer to output magnetometer measurements; an antenna to emit an electromagnetic signal based on the output-timing signal, the electromagnetic signal to be measured by the magnetometer; and a processor to process the GNSS measurements and the inertial measurements, to detect in the magnetometer measurements one or more detected pulses of the output-timing signal, to determine a time delay between a clock of the IMU and the clock of the GNSS receiver based the detected pulses, and to adjust a time-base of the inertial measurements to a time-base of the GNSS measurements based on the time delay.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a communication station and method for transmission power control for Time-of-Flight (ToF) measurements in a wireless network are generally described herein. A protocol for fine timing measurements (FTMs) optimizes location performance rather than Wi-Fi coverage area and bit error rate by limiting an allowed maximum power and hence, EVM. A user equipment (UE) comprises a transceiver configured to receive, from an initiating station, a fine timing measurement request (FTMR) message at a maximum transmit power and lowest modulation and coding scheme (MCS), measure a relative received signal strength (RSSI) for the received FTMR message, determine a maximum transmit power, where the maximum transmit power is proportional to the measured RSSI; and transmit, to the initiating station, a fine timing measurement 1 (FTM1) message at the determined maximum transmit power and received lowest MCS.

    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of selecting location providers. For example, a location provider (LP) selector to operate in a mobile device may include a memory to store an Accuracy-Power Decision Matrix (APDM), the APDM to provide an allocation of a plurality of LPs according to a plurality of power consumption levels and a plurality of accuracy ranges; and a controller to receive from a location client of the mobile device a location request for a location fix of the mobile device, and to assign to the location request one or more LPs of the plurality of LPs, based on the APDM, an accuracy requirement of the location request, and a power consumption requirement of the location request.
