Apparatus, system and method of a one-sided location measurement

A product including one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one processor, enable the at least one processor to cause a wireless station to:

• transmit an announcement element to announce a Non-Data Packet (NDP) sounding transmission comprising a plurality of sounding preambles, the announcement element configured to indicate a configuration of a one-sided location measurement to be processed by a receiver of the NDP sounding transmission, the announcement element comprising at least a measurement type field to indicate a type of the one-sided location measurement, and one or more configuration fields comprising configuration information to configure the one-sided location measurement based on the NDP sounding transmission, wherein the announcement element comprises at least a channel information field comprising information corresponding to a wireless channel over which the NDP sounding transmission is to be transmitted;
• and
• transmit the NDP sounding transmission subsequent to the announcement element.

An apparatus comprising circuitry and logic configured to cause a first wireless station to:

• process an announcement element from a second wireless station, the announcement element to announce a Non-Data Packet (NDP) sounding transmission comprising a plurality of sounding preambles, the announcement element comprising at least a measurement type field to indicate a type of a one-sided location measurement, and one or more configuration fields comprising configuration information to configure the one-sided location measurement based on the NDP sounding transmission, processing the announcement element comprises processing at least a Time of Departure (ToD) information field in the announcement element to determine at least a ToD of the announcement element, a ToD of the sounding transmission, and a Tod accuracy;
• and
• perform the one-sided location measurement by processing the NDP sounding transmission based on the one or more configuration fields of the announcement element.
