Method, apparatus, and computer program product for secure distance bounding based on direction measurement

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by an apparatus from a remote device, one or more wireless packets including information packets containing angle of departure information of the remote device;
• determining in the apparatus, a first angle of departure and a second angle of departure from the received angle of departure information;
• and
• generating distance estimation data in the apparatus relative to the remote device, based on the determined first angle of departure and second angle of departure .

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory including computer program code;
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
• receive from a remote device, one or more wireless packets including information packets containing angle of departure information of the remote device;
• determine a first angle of departure and a second angle of departure from the received angle of departure information;
• and
• generate distance estimation data relative to the remote device, based on the determined first angle of departure and second angle of departure .
