Methods for obtaining a location using neighbor awareness networking, NAN, as well as a corresponding system and NAN device

A method for obtaining a location in a WIFI network, wherein the method is carried out by a device having a known location and comprises:

• obtaining a range measurement using travel time of radio signals between the device having the known location and a target device;
• receiving range measurements from the travel times of radio signals between the target device and each of one or more other devices in said WIFI network;
• and
• computing the location of the target device based on the range measurements.

A device, comprising:

• a receiver;
• and
• one or more processors and memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the one or more processors whereby the device is configured to:
• obtain range measurements using travel times of radio signals between the device and a target device;
• receive range measurements from the travel times of radio signals between the target device and each of one or more other devices in said WIFI network;
• and
• compute the location of the target device based on the range measurements and a known location for the device.
