Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced location determination. A device may cause to exchange one or more capabilities information with one or more station devices. The device may cause to assign one or more unassociated identifications (UIDs) to one or more unassociated station devices of the one or more station devices to participate in location determination of the one or more unassociated station devices. The device may cause to send a trigger frame comprising at least one of the one or more UIDs; wherein the trigger frame contains one or more resource assignments. The device may identify one or more sounding information from at least one of the one or more station devices.
Claims20
A device for determining wireless positioning of associated and unassociated devices, the device comprising storage coupled to processing circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to:
- cause to assign one or more unassociated identifiers to one or more unassociated station devices to participate in a location determination, wherein an unassociated station device is a station device that has not been assigned an association identification (AID), and wherein the one or more unassociated identifiers are assigned during a negotiation with the one or more unassociated station devices;
- cause to send a trigger frame comprising at least one of the one or more unassociated identifiers, and one or more resource allocations;
- identify a signal received from a first station device of the one or more unassociated station devices;
- and
- cause to send measurement data associated with the first station device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors or an unassociated station device result in performing operations comprising:
- identifying, at a first device, an unassociated identifier received from a second device during a negotiation, wherein the first device is a station device that has not been assigned an association identification (AID) and has not associated with the second device;
- identifying a trigger frame received from the second device, the trigger frame comprising the unassociated identifier and a resource allocation associated with the unassociated identifier;
- causing to send, responsive to the trigger frame a signal to the second device;
- and
- identifying measurement data received from the second device, the measurement data associated with the first device.
A method comprising:
- causing to assign, by processing circuitry of a first device, one or more unassociated identifiers to one or more unassociated station devices to participate in a location determination, wherein an unassociated station device is a station device that has not been assigned an association identification (AID), and wherein the one or more unassociated identifiers are assigned during a negotiation with the one or more unassociated station devices;
- causing to send, by the processing circuitry, a trigger frame comprising at least one of the one or more unassociated identifiers, wherein the trigger frame contains one or more resource allocations;
- identifying, by the processing circuitry, a signal received from a first station device of the one or more unassociated station devices;
- and
- causing to send, by the processing circuitry, measurement data associated with the first station device.
