    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 obtaining measurements of a range between devices in an exchange messages. In particular, described are techniques for transmitting messages between or among devices to share computed parameters indicative of ranges between devices. In particular implementations, shared computed parameters indicative of ranges between or among devices may enable computation of estimated locations of one or more of devices.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for a ranging protocol between two wireless local area network (WLAN) devices. In one aspect, the ranging protocol may be adjusted based on channel quality of a wireless medium between the WLAN devices. For example, a quantity of ranging frames and bandwidth for the ranging frames may be adjusted based on the channel quality. In some implementations, the channel quality may be determined using setup messages for the ranging protocol without a wireless association between the WLAN devices. The ranging protocol may be useful for range determination in an indoor environment where a WLAN is deployed. In some implementations, the ranging protocol may be used to determine a location of a WLAN device.

    Abstract: In a procedure for determining distance (or angle) between a pair of electronic devices wirelessly connected to one another, a current session may be temporarily suspended on request and thereafter the current session may be resumed. Temporary suspension and resumption of the current session may, for example, eliminate starting a new session between the pair of electronic devices and repeating a determination of parameters that were initially agreed upon in the current session. Temporary suspension of a current session may be signaled wirelessly, by one electronic device to the other electronic device, for example, by setting a specific value in a specific field, to signal that the current session is to be paused now, in a frame or message transmitted from the pausing device to the to-be-paused device. The current session may be resumed without repeating determination of the initially-agreed upon parameters, by transmitting a frame to initiate measurement exchange.

    Abstract: Disclosed are implementations, including a method, performed at a processor-based mobile device, that includes receiving at the mobile device antenna information for a wireless node, including a transmitter gain for the wireless node in at least one message transmitted to the mobile device. The at least one message includes, a beacon frame message, a fine timing measurement (FTM) protocol-based message, and/or an assistance data message transmitted from a remote central repository. The method also includes deriving an estimate of a receiver gain for a receiver of the mobile device based, at least in part, on the transmitter gain for the wireless node, and adjusting one or more signal strength values determined for signals received from the wireless node based on the estimate of the receiver gain of the receiver of the mobile device derived based, at least in part, on the transmitter gain for the wireless node.
