Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of performing a Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) procedure with a responder station. For example, an apparatus may include logic and circuitry configured to cause a responder station to transmit an information element including FTM availability information, the FTM availability information including an indication of a plurality of channels and, for a channel of the plurality of channels, one or more FTM availability windows; and to be available to perform one or more operations of an FTM procedure on the channel during the FTM availability windows corresponding to the channel.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising logic and circuitry configured to cause a responder station to:
- transmit an information element comprising Fine Time Measurement (FTM) availability information, the FTM availability information comprising an indication of a plurality of channels and, for a channel of the plurality of channels, one or more FTM availability windows;
- and
- be available to perform one or more operations of an FTM procedure on the channel during the FTM availability windows corresponding to the channel.
A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one computer processor, enable the at least one computer processor to implement one or more operations at a responder station, the operations comprising:
- transmitting an information element comprising Fine Time Measurement (FTM) availability information, the FTM availability information comprising an indication of a plurality of channels and, for a channel of the plurality of channels, one or more FTM availability windows;
- and
- being available to perform one or more operations of an FTM procedure on the channel during the FTM availability windows corresponding to the channel.
An apparatus comprising logic and circuitry configured to cause a mobile station to:
- process an information element comprising Fine Time Measurement (FTM) availability information corresponding to a responder station, the FTM availability information comprising an indication of a plurality of channels and, for at least one of the channels, one or more FTM availability windows;
- and
- based on the FTM availability information, perform one or more operations of an FTM procedure with the responder station on a channel of the plurality of channels during an FTM availability window corresponding to the channel.
A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one computer processor, enable the at least one computer processor to implement one or more operations at a server, the operations comprising:
- generating an information element comprising Fine Time Measurement (FTM) availability information corresponding to a responder station, the FTM availability information comprising an indication of a plurality of channels and, for a channel of the channels, one or more FTM availability windows;
- and
- sending the information element to a mobile station.
