    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein are generally directed toward providing at least one security feature for an FTM session. More specifically, an initiating STA can include a security feature in an initial FTM request (iFTMR), determine whether a received FTM frame contains information responsive to the at least one security feature, and complete the FTM session accordingly (including terminating the FTM session if the FTM frame does not contain correct information responsive to the at least one security feature). Embodiments may include a security feature such as nonce values and/or generated (or partially-generated) media access control (MAC) addresses.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for synchronizing clocks maintained at different devices in a wireless communication network. A first wireless transceiver device may receive one or more messages from a second wireless transceiver device with parameters indicative of a first clock state. The first wireless transceiver device may then synchronize a second clock state maintained at the first wireless device based, at least in part, on the one or more parameters indicative of the first clock state.

    Abstract: Techniques for exchanging secure FTM messages are disclosed. An example of a wireless transceiver system for providing a secure Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) exchange includes a memory and a processor configured to obtain a initial-secure-token value and a secure-token-response value via an out-of-band signal, generate a FTM Request message including the initial-secure-token value, a transmitter to send the FTM Request message to a responding station, and a receiver to receive a FTM Response message including the secure-token-response value from the responding station, such that the at least one processor is configured to determine a Round Trip Time (RTT) value based at least in part on the FTM Response message.

    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments pertain to a first STA may broadcast a first Null Data Packet Announcement (NDPA) frame with an indication of one or more second STAs being polled. Subsequent to the first NDPA frame, a Null Data Packet (NDP) frame may be broadcast from a plurality of antennas on the first STA and one or more corresponding first Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) frames may be received in response. Each corresponding first FTM frame may be received from a distinct corresponding second STA and may comprise corresponding ranging measurements between the first STA and the corresponding second STA as determined by the corresponding second STA based on the NDP frame. In some embodiments, the one or more corresponding first FTM frames may be: received in response to a previously broadcast trigger frame, and encoded using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access. The trigger frame may be broadcast subsequent to the NDP frame.

    Abstract: Techniques for determining a Round Trip Time (RTT) calibration value are disclosed. An example of a method according to the disclosure includes receiving a fine timing measurement (FTM) exchange between an initiating station and a responding station, calculating a plurality of differential round trip time (RTT) measurements based on the FTM exchange, calculating a responding station calibration value based on the plurality of differential RTT measurements, and transmitting the responding station calibration value to the responding station.
