Abstract
A method and transmit/receive apparatus in a wireless communication system supporting ranging capability are provided. The method and the transmit/receive apparatus comprises: identifying ranging apparatuses; identifying a ranging control message (RCM) including a ranging device management information element (RDM IE) and roles of the ranging apparatuses, the RDM IE including a content field, wherein the ranging apparatuses include the transmit apparatus and at least one receive apparatus; and transmitting, to the ranging apparatuses over a broadcast channel, the RCM including the RDM IE in a ranging round (RR).
Claims26
A controller device in a wireless communication system, the controller device comprising:
- a processor configured to
- identify ranging devices participating in a multi-node ranging and roles of the ranging devices;
- and
- a transceiver operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to transmit, to plurality of controlees, a ranging control message (RCM) comprising information indicating addresses for the ranging devices and information indicating the roles of the ranging devices, the roles of the ranging devices including one or more initiators or one or more responders,
- wherein the processor is further configured to perform, based on the RCM, a ranging with at least one ranging device among the ranging devices.
