Secure location measurement sharing

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors of a device result in performing operations comprising:

• causing to send a first indication associated with a location of the device to a cloud server;
• causing to send a second indication associated with a ranging information of an access point (AP), wherein the AP is connected to the cloud server;
• and
• identifying an access token received from the cloud server,
• wherein the access token is associated with providing anonymized AP location information to the AP, wherein the AP obtains its location based on a plurality of measurements received from a plurality of station devices, and wherein the plurality of measurements are accumulated and anonymized by the cloud server, and
• wherein the access token is associated with accessing channel allocation from a channel access database.
